God Challenges Us in the Area of Tithing (Part 1)
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.”
Now we will consider how God Himself actually challenges us to put Him to the test. We are to do this, by following the Scriptural examples of Tithing.
The complete challenge is given in Malachi when God was speaking to Israel: *“Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” Malachi 3:7-8.*
Notice that withholding God’s appointed portion is called robbing God. Most of us would never rob another human being, but we might be guilty of robbing God. The challenge is to put this matter right, so that you are in a position whereby God can open the windows of Heaven over your life. This is called having “a Correct Posture”. God has a plan for your money. If you follow His plan and Tithe according to the above Scripture, you will be a blessed man / woman. This principle is what causes the floodgates of Heaven to pour out the blessing of God into your life and those around you.
