You are just 2 few weeks into the 90 Day Tithe Challenge. Again, let me say thank you for your willingness to take the challenge. I believe God will honor you and will continue to bless you as you remain faithful and obedient to Him.
As you continue in the habit of giving and showing yourself faithful as a good steward of the resources that God has entrusted into your care, I want to remind you of some of the scriptural benefits of tithing.
Read over these and be encouraged, “The Best is Yet to Come.”
Ten Benefits of Tithing
God is pleased by your Obedience.
Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…”
Leviticus 27:32 “The entire tithe…every tenth…will be holy to the Lord.”
God is honored by your Faithfulness.
Proverbs 3:9 “Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops…”
It helps keep your Priorities straight.
Deuteronomy 14:23 (LB) “The purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God first place in your life.”
Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Tithing makes you Eligible for a blessing.
Malachi 3:10-11 “’Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit.’ Says the LORD Almighty.”
Tithing guards Christians from Materialism.
1 Timothy 6:17-18 “Command these who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”
God loves a Cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he had decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Support of the Great Commission.
Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…”
Ensures your needs will be met.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Tithing helps meet the needs of God’s people.
1 Corinthians 16:1-2 “Now about the collection for God’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. One the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.”
Tithing reminds us that God is the true owner and giver of all that we have.
Deuteronomy 8:18 “Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”
I love you and I am praying for you my friend.
