The
7 Blessings
The Tithe
Brings
To Your Life
How The Tithe Can And
Will Change Your Life
There is always so much
discussion about the tithe amongst Christians.
Most of the
teachings out there are out of whack and some are totally wrong.
Most Christians
don't even know anything about the tithe and or have not been taught properly
by their churches.
Most Christians
don't even know why they tithe in church but what is very sad is
that when they do, they do not know how to claim nor have been taught to
claim the blessings attached to the tithe.
Recently while
watching Christian TV, the Lord placed a new revelation in my heart. I
knew right away that I was to share this with the Shout Of Victory Ministry
partners and prayer warriors.
The pastor
that I was watching on TV was talking about the importance of the tithe,
as mentioned in Malachi 3.
While I was
listening to him, I felt strongly that I needed to teach on what I have
known to be the great seven blessings of the tithe, as well.
I believe the
tithe is a very important in our worship and a vital part of our relationship
with the Lord God.
It leads us
to a place of obedience and faithfulness different that any other teaching
in Scripture.
First of all,
Malachi 3:10 teaches:
Bring
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.
Malachi
3: 10 KJV
Then the Lord
promises. . .
And
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
verse
11 KJV
THE SEVEN WONDERFUL
PROMISES OF GOD
In the next
verse, the Lord gives us this most remarkable promise:
And
all nations shall call you blessed:
for ye shall
be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts
verse
12
In this noteworthy
portion of Scripture, we find the Lords command to bring. . .
all
the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house.
The Lord clearly
tells every believer that the tithe belongs to Him and His work.
The Lord even
challenges us to test Him:
Prove
me now herewith
Meaning, put
me to the test.
verse
10 KJV
This is the only
time in Scripture that the Lord makes that offer.
That is one
of the most amazing invitations we have ever been given by the Lord Himself;
that we, as God's people, can prove Him in this matter.
Following His
challenge in Malachi 3:10, He then begins to give us the seven most amazing
blessings of the tithe:
If
I will not open you the windows of heaven
verse
10
The windows of
heaven always deal with revival.
The Lord promises
to revive every person who obeys Him.
And
pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive
it
verse
10
Think about it!
God Almighty declares clearly in His Word that the tither will be prosperous
so prosperous, in fact, that there will not be room enough to receive the
prosperity and blessings God has in store for the one who obeys Him.
I
will rebuke the devourer for your sakes
verse
11
I have later discovered
through teaching on this subject and have discovered that to rebuke, to
my amazement, means to cripple or to paralyze.
God Almighty
will actually cripple the enemy on your behalf when you tithe.
The tithe is
so important to the Lord that He promises to paralyze and cripple the enemy
so that he will not be able to touch your life!
Remember, the
Lord said to prove Him.
These things
will happen, for this is the Word of the Lord!
He
shall not destroy the fruits of your ground
verse
11
This means that
the enemy, whom God has crippled on your behalf, will not be able to touch
your finances.
The fruits
of your ground refers to your money.
The enemy will
not be able to touch your money as a result of your obedience to the Lord
in the tithe.
Neither
shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the
Lord of hosts
verse
11
It is remarkable
that in John 15:5, Jesus said, I am the vine, ye are the branches.
The vine, therefore,
means the family, and God gives this amazing promise to the tither when
He says that the enemy will not touch your family, if you obey the Lord.
All
nations shall call you blessed
verse
12
In this most amazing
blessing and promise, God will bless and prosper you so that the nations
of the world will see the blessings of God upon you.
In other words,
you will be a mighty witness of the power and blessings of God.
Ye
shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts
verse
12
Delightsome means
highly desired.
