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 gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, for therein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written the just shall live by faith. When it refers to the just, that talks about those that have, genuinely and truly given their lives to Jesus Christ, so that He can become, their LORD and Saviour, Romans 1:16, 17. Interestingly, Paul the apostle was not ashamed of it, and hence, we should not be ashamed of it either. And therefore, with reference to the issue of payment of tithe and giving of offering, these are doctrines that the New Testament dispensation approves- and because it is in the Old Testament does not mean it should be discarded. The Word says: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes Him should not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:16. It also says: As many as received Him, He has then given the power to become sons of God, even those who believe in His name, John 1:12. When you believe the Word of God and diligently act upon it, the power of the Holy Spirit will comes upon you. Have you not heard it when it says: Seek ye First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you? Matthew 6:33. God is the covenant keeping God, hence when God�s Word is received , believed and acted upon, based on the law of love, God has no option but to honour His part of the covenant. That means, when God�s dictates are put in place, all argument ceases and that is because of God�s integrity, and the infallibility of the Holy Writ.
For I am the Lord I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. After such an assurance what other question do you have? Friends let�s just pay the tithe and offering and see if HE will open the windows of heaven. Of course HE WILL.
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.
I heard this today ''in my spirit'' I heard God say this to me... I am so blessed. I was a very sad few weeks before. BUT GOD "IS GOOD" and WORTHY TO BE PRAISED.
MALACHI CHAPTER 3 SEEMS TO SHOW THE EXTENT THAT GOD CLAIM HIS POWER THROUGH HIS SON TO THE GENERATION OF THE EARTH. THAT HIS THE KEY FOR EVER THAT BREATH, GROWTH AND WALK IN THE LIGHT.
Malachi 3 is one of the chapters in the bible where God presents himself both a stern judge and a loving father. He tell us the consequences of our sins and at the same time encourages us to repent and return to him. God's words are sure. If you bring your tithes to him , he will pour out blessings on you, much more that you can store. He promises to preserve us from that dreadful day and select us as fine jewelry. Let us not take this for granted.
touching jesus is allll that realy matters i kno sumtimes i may mess up up at times but when i thick about is name and what he did just for me i just want tio serve him more for get about the thing that ive done I LOVE YOU MOST RIGHTIOUS JESUS.........................
God does not change, cannot lie, and Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is required of a steward to be faithful. know that God is faithful. Obedience to God's will is the duty of every Christian. Will you rob God? Just as God commands his covenant people to keep his commandments, he commands ibedience
Malichi is a book written by the Holy Living God that is a Prophecy come true, "today 2012".
It refers to a company, "microsoft" that is to preach the Gosple of the Holy Living God for the second time to all Nations, Gods truth written in the book of Matthew, "For the Gosple shall be Preached to All Nations, then the end shall come.
The written words of the Holy Living god through
man by the gift of the Holy~Spirit given by the most selfless sacrifice by God himself, "Jesus Christ" the soon coming King of Kings and Lord Lords, the only begotten Son of the Great Holy Father, Our Father who art in Heaven Hollow Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come.........
Malichi is a Revelation by Jesus Christ through his servant, David for Micro-Soft Baptised Members, Where Satan's Seat is....... satan was Rebuked by the Arch-Angle of the Holy God not to
take the form of a human, Lucifer is a real deciever, "copy cat" of the Holy Living God who made Man in his own Image six thousand years ago, Lucifer was created as an angle millions of years ago that decieved one-third of Gods Holy Angles because he was created a little greater than them.
So it is not surprising Lucifer can so easily decieve a man that on his own took on the same characteristics as being greater than his fellow man.
This is Wisdom of God, he who has Understanding of God, let him count the number of the Beast for it is a Man and his name equals 666, also known as Satan, the same characteristics as Lucifer, the fallen angle, Spiritual babalon is Micro-Soft, the Sanagougue of Satan, "Where Satan Seat Is As A Human Form, "Lucifer did not listen to the Holy Living Gods Arch-Angle Micheal.
The Simplicity that is Christ Truth. His Servant
David. Give Glory to God, "Christ is Lord"
God is not man to lie, he honours his word. When he says 'Give and it shall be given back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over' it shall surely come to pass,therefore try him and see if he will not pour out a window of blessing in your life where you not have enough room to receive it.
Jer.31 speaks of a new covenant and as far as tithing goes Deut 26:12 Jesus said that He did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill it. Their are churches practice tithing on the first day of the week. I personally believe that Jesus has and will shows how to tithe. But some ministers ask for $1000.00's of dollars and use the scriptures abusively. They have their reward with the false Prophets. I believe that tithing is a personal walk with the Lord; as you grow so will your obedience to Him and you'll become a cheerful giver. Thanks for the opportunity to express my personal opinion. May God's blessing encamp about you all
First of all, God DOES NOT want ANY of his children to suffer. He DOES NOT want anyone, espcially those on fixed incomes, to go without food or medicine, so on.. As hard as it is for some to accept, common sense is of God. And if after you have paid bills and taken care of your costs of living you have anything left, a tenth of that would be your tithe. If you have nothing left, a tenth of nothing is nothing. Also, you are to tithe where you are tought the truth of God's word, which as it would seem by some of these comments isn't happening anyway. Just a thought.
To God love's comment
I hope that u dont still believe in what u have said. your own scripture references totally contradict that worldly belief. Leviticus 24:8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by and everlasting covenant. keywords:everlasting covenant. And the reference to Hebrews is the same as it is contradictory to your belief. tithes are still paid like Eldon's commentary says as faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.God is in control of all things as everything runs through his hands before it is allowed and he is testing our faith in a way that is very easy of only requiring 10% of what he already owns. In what u said about people feeling oligated to tithe that is wrong in so many ways. if they feel obligated to do it then they r in the wrong spirit. it is an act of faith that God blesses everytime. and tithing is a form of worship. even if God allowed that family to suffer, in his name, death would be more glorious for them that God found them worthy for such a trial as that. Hebrews 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. just like the woman who put her last two mites in the offering plate. she was found in higher praise of her giving to God than the rich who gave a percentage of their wealth, which was a lot more money than the widdow had put in, it wasnt about who put in the most but about the giving of what u do have. she gave all that she had and the Lord blessed her for that. and that should not b our initial thought to do it to recieve a blessing because if that is all that we r looking for then God will see that not to be worship.yes we do give offerings and alms as well as tithes in support of the church or fellowship that u belong to. and that reference to looking at the times is not right in context either. we still sacrifice ourselves on that alter every time we can in order to allow for God to change us just like the burnt offerings did and sin offerings. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. now by grace we r saved through Jesus Christ. But we still offer ourselves a sacrifice to either repent (turn away from sin)or we heed what God is trying to change in us as we sacrifice our flesh at the alter. And that reference to the one time perfect sacrifice is true in a sence of he did it once for all sin but that does not mean, as the baptist belief is, that once saved always saved. people backslide and that means turned away from God to follow fleshly desires. we cannot serve God and the devil and if we desire the things of this world more than the things of God then we r serving the devil. So being backslidden means that in order to be found in the Lambs book of life you have to repent, or sacrifice yourself at the alter, of your sins once again. This comment is not meant to be harsh but is meant to steer youin the right direction. We, as christians, have to watch what we say because others do hear and listen and if we steer them wrong then we r doing work for the devil.
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
The Levites were the priestly tribe. They worked in Solomons temple. This is talking about the the return of Christ the 2nd advent foretold in the old testament.
Hebrews 7:2 Abraham gave tithe to the High Priest before the law of the Jews, out of faith to God. We give tithe to God after the law because of our faith in the blood of Christ. Priesthood of the believer 1st Peter 2:5-10.
Read Hebrew's Chapter 7 Jesus is my priest FOREVER and speaks through me in the Holy Spirt!
Tithes were of the old covenant if you believe in tithes also read Leviticus chapter 24, celebrate all the festivils, washing of hand from elbows and many other tradtions Mark 7. To be more percise it was a Jewish tax. Owed to the Jews. Yes, we should give offering in support of the Universal Church according to 1 Corinthians 16. Not to make a poor family fill obligated to pay something to just end up loosing a family of souls just like Satan wants! You must learn to read in context to the time, we use to have to offer animal sacrafices then a change was a one time PERFECT sacrafice, along with many other changes. Set me Free like Galatian 5(another change)!
We must remember that even if God was refering to the priest; a priest is someone that gives the messege Of God to people saved or unsaved. With Jesus coming and the people being born again the priest of todays time are the People of God (Earthly knowledge priest or Spiritully given priest). We all have become fishers of men, and We all are to give tithes and offerings that are pleasing unto the Lord and stop robing God to pay peter or paul.
In the new Testiment every born agian Christian is a priest of God. Today our giving is spiritual. As I read Malachi I see Gods people of to day robbing even more. If we would repent, what blessings we would have.
I think what it is saying that preist and other men of thr church has lied and stated that if we do not pay them forsome reason that we have taken from God, we take nothing from God for he has all things. the men of the lies and God says you have rob my people in my name so give ir to me all you have saved all through the hundred of years. what do God eat or drink we know not.
Verse 9 plainly state that ye have robbed god and even the nation - That the Priest Robbed the nation. This whole book of Mal is toward the Priest. Also read Jeremiah 31:31-36, I Corinthians 16:2. And even if tithes were a requirement Malachi Plainly states that 3:4 �Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.�� That they belong to the Jerusalem Temple and the church(s) need to send them accordingly as also noted in I Corinthians 16:2. This of the old ways. Mark 2:21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment:...
A clear reminder of how important obedience is and how important it is to tithe and give offerings. To be able to walk in God's blessing and provision is ideal. To bring Him pleasure should be our greatest achievement.
Malichi 3:16 - I believe that it is a most beautiful thing that our GOD who created each and every one of us has the utmost ability not only to hear every word spoken about HIM, for HIM, or to HIM, or even "thought about HIM"- that is spoken with "Awe"(fear-reverence) - has it written down in a "book of remembrance". This is truly a gift that we have for HIM that HE honors, appreciates, and keeps. I do love HIM so much!
