3:10 Bring ye - Make a punctual and full payment of all tithes; about this did Nehemiah contend with the rulers, and made them comply, and then all Judah obeyed and did the like, #Nehem 13:10 |- 13. To the store - house - This was one or more large rooms, built on purpose for this use. That there may be meat - For the priests and Levites to live upon. Prove me - Make the experiment. The windows of heaven - A kind of proverbial speech, to express great abundance. A blessing - First of rain to water the earth, next a blessing of corn, wine and oil, and all other products of the earth.

We do not give because we have, But we have because we Give. Just as the scripture says "test me therefore, and see if I will not POUR YOU OUT a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it"

Jesus Christ has now come and fulfilled the Mosaic Law. We now live under Grace. If we live under the Law, we have fallen from Grace. We now give as we purpose in our hearts. However, if we choose to live by the Law, we must keep the whole Law and not pick and choose the ones we like best.

The Old Testament Tithe law was just that, part of the Mosaic Law, and that law is no longer in use today because of what Christ did on the cross. If you still preach this today you may want to read Galatians 1:8.

To me that verse represents more than just finances, tithing means everything he gave to us we need to give back to him. The tenth portion of it.

God is the richest and the fountain of all riches and blessings. Giving according to His counsel is a marvelous opportunity. But we all know that opportunities only profit the wise.
"NO ONE CAN OUTGIVE GOD" BUT THE WISE CAN LET GOD OUTGIVE HIM, THROUGH OBEDIENCE TO DIVINE COUNSEL." Give and it shall be given unto you. Don't give and it shall not be given unto you. The choice is yours like the results. PLS LIVE TO GIVE AS YOU GIVE TO LIVE
