We can be self-hindrance and not to receive God’s blessings if we don't tithe
Are you living the good life that God has pre-arranged for you? If not, then it is your time now!
I read Malachi 3:10 many timesin the past and I knew what it says but I never do much about it. I use to say to myself that God knew my situations especially when I had to pay all the bills and other expenses. (Do you say the same to God till now?). It's never too late. It's time to change, time to obey God's word. God is faithful!
Whenever I received any income there will be something very important that comes up and I will have to use the money to sort it out and put my tithe on wait. The same devil statement “God knows my situation” kept on. Praise be to God that, I asked Him for help and He answered me.
I remembered before i became faithful in paying my tithe, I use to pay so much money in the things like wrong car parking, charges on unpaid cheques, interests on overdrafts, unexpected amount of bills and I used so much money unplanned. It was so painful that it was all due to my disobedience to God's word (Malachi 3:10).
Brethren, when you have any amount of income, don’t ever think that by not paying your tithe then the money will be enough for all your expenses! In fact, the bible tells us in (Malachi 3:8) by doing so you are robbing God. The money will never be enough, you will not be in peace and you will be filled with fear and worries.
Since I started paying my tithe faithfully, I always have peace even when i have no enough money, I have not been worring as I used to be.
Some of us (believers) have problems after problems due to disobedience to God but we never sit down and ask God why do we have so much problems or even to ask ourselves of how we live as Christians. Do we make effort to read the word of God? do we do what His word tells us?
In fact, God did not deal with me according to how long unfaithful I was in paying my tithe. I thank God for His faithfulness and His mercies that endures forever!
Be reminded that, God longs to pour out His abundant blessing on your life. He wants to open the windows of heaven for you. When you are faithful in your tithes, when you faithfully give ten percent to the house of God, He promises that your house will be provided for. Every time you give your tithe, it means you are declaring that you trust God. When you give, you are putting actions behind your faith that keeps your faith alive. The Bible promises that when you give, it shall be given back to you.
Remember, the scripture tells us that as believers, the tithe already belongs to the Lord and it is holy, or set apart, for Him. So we should not keep to ourselves what belongs to God.
God told us to bring the whole tithe into His house and see what He will do. He will stand against the enemy on your behalf, and He will bless you in ways you have never dreamed. He will open the windows of heaven and pour out His abundance on every area of your life...... halleluiah, Praise the Lord!
And above all if you still don’t believe, God is asking you to try Him now, do what Malachi 3:10 says.
I thank God that I can bodly say that, "I am a faithful tither". God has blessed me so much. In every of my income, even when someone gives me some money, I tithe it.
If it is your desire to tithe, you can decide from now to be a faithful tither. I am sure God is ready to help you as well.
You only have to believe in God's word.
Remain Blessed!
