July 9th The ‘What’ Of The Tithe
Bible Reading: 1 Chron. 16:15; Gen. 2:16-17; Lev. 27:30, 32
Gen. 14:20
‘and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all’
The tithe is a covenant transaction that’s a choice and not a chance. It is a covenant-secret given to you and I for the release of wealth. Always remember it is not a man-made concept but a God-given instruction. Your wealth inheritance is spiritual and the tithe is a crucial access key.
The tithe, which is one-tenth of your increase, is God’s ‘money’ in your custody or control. The truth is what you do with God’s funds in your power has a tremendous impact on your ability to access His prosperity plan for you.
Adam awoke to wealth in the Garden of Eden; it was an inheritance God prepared for him. To retain the Garden and it’s wealth he was to look after a ‘tree’ but recognize it wasn’t his. That’s the same concept with the tithe. Honour God with your ten percent and He will ensure you enjoy your inheritance.
Prayer:
i. Pray against the spirit of carnality, selfishness and lukewarm faith amongst believers 2 Tim. 3:1-5
ii. Ask Jesus to build His church numbers, finances, influence, impact and dominion Acts 2:42-47; Mat. 16:18-19
Thought for the day:
Practicing the tithe is a deliberate choice and not a chance
