Topic: Back to Bethel in Paying Your Tithe Faithfully
Text: Deut 14:28; Malachi 3; Num 18:21–24; Deut 14:24
Tithe is a command from God that His followers should give Him ten percent of whatever He blesses them with. Tithe is one subject that is paid in different patterns according to dispensation. Abraham paid to a prophet. Jacob paid to God, while in Deuteronomy the children of Israel paid in a particular place to take care of the Levites, the needy, foreigners, and widows in that place.
Ten Reasons Why I Pay Tithe
1. I pay tithe because it provides for God’s house. (1 Cor 9:13–14)
2. I pay tithe because it tells God that I trust Him. (Matt 6:33; Prov 3:5–6)
3. It creates margin only God can fill.
4. It reminds me that I am not my source. (Psalm 21:1; Chron 21)
5. It connects my money to the Kingdom purpose.
6. It gives my job eternal significance. (Colo 3:23–24)
7. It transforms my money into a seed. (2 Cor 9:10)
8. It breaks greed and self-reliance in my heart. (Matt 6:24; 1 Tim …)
9. It lets everything else in my life know God is first. (Matt 6:33)
10. It is a dispensational thing.
Tithing is not an act of generosity but an act of obedience and allegiance to God.
