Malachi 3:10 Context
7Even 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? 8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 13Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

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.

3 years AgoIsaac for verse 10Tithe, is God 's command with promise and God is not mocked whatever a man soweth so he shall reap. Practically speaking I have experienced abundance through tithing, I have experienced good health without visiting hospitals for years via tithing, I have experienced peace of mind, success and answered prayers by obeying the Lord through tithing. I have also experienced the opposite by not obeying this principle, and this is because of fear of ability to meet up with other concerns that the Lord says we should cast unto Him for He cares for us all. In a nutshell, I have never seen a man that trade with the Lord and loose, God doesn 't owe us His desire is to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory, remember we are not talking of earthly reward alone, but heavenly treasures, domain where canker-worms, devourer and caterpillars, can 't reach. So I employ people to obey the Lord in everything, because He is the provider of what we possess and moreover we can 't hide anything from Him. Finally also bear in mind that the scripture also says faith without work is dead. The act of paying tithe is a progeny between faith and work -so pay the tithe.Flag

3 years AgoJunias for verse 10why did GOD not just say " Give 10 of your money to the preachers? " why did GOD not say anything about money when talking about tithing? Please beloved of GOD reread your bibles and realize that tithing has to do with fruits of the land and herds of animals because they are GOD 's personal property... Today preachers are just self enriching themselves.Flag

3 years AgoYosua for verse 10So why it doesn 't work? I was never as much poor and rejected than after I tried to tithe. If that verse worked, that will be known, and there will be no more poor people on the earth, but Jesus Himself said "For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good but me ye have not always. " Mark 14 7 So it seems that there are no solutions to the poverty. Malachi 3 10 is only false hope to poor peoples, because the church doesn 't do what he has to do "Neither was there any among them that lacked for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles ' feet and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. " Acts 4 34 35 So the thief is not the person who doesn 't tithe, but the church who doesn 't distribute...Flag
