UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF CORRECT TITHING

A woman's baby was sick, and she took the baby to the church, but the pastor was not in the church. She also wanted to pay her tithe and sign the tithe card, so she put her tithe card on the baby and said, "God, when I'm back here, I want to meet my baby healthy because I'm not owing You and I cannot pay any extra money to doctors." By the time she came back, she met her baby at the door knocking and crying, wanting to get out; the baby was healed. That woman understood the power of tithing.

Many people give their tithes without an understanding of what it means. They think they are doing the pastor a favour or helping to pay his salary when the Bible says in Malachi 3:11, "... I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes ...." Lack of understanding has caused many to become nominal Christians. Another woman said to God, "God, You know I will help You if You are the one in the condition I am." She understood her relationship with God.

Every champion of God entered the championship level on the ticket of understanding, not just the ticket of attending church. The church is full of too many defeated people because of a lack of understanding. Study the Word of God until you understand. Start with reading, move to study, and then meditate. Ask questions until you understand exactly what God is saying.

PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for opening my eyes to the truth in Your word. Help me to understand, practise, and obey the Kingdom principles You have given me in Jesus’ name. Amen!
