“ What to know about the tithes & offering “

Malachi 3:6–12 (KJV 1900)

6 For I am the Lord, I change not;

Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.

Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8 Will a man rob God?

Yet ye have robbed me.

But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?

In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me,

Even this whole nation.

10 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.

11 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.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed:

For ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

Quote: “Of all attempted robberies, surely robbing God must be considered the most ludicrous “.

This teaching will make you

Trust More — Grow More — Believe More

When you learn

How to GIVE GOD”s WAY

It’s not a hocus-pocus

It’s not magic

It’s exactly what it is

Giving God’s way

Giving God’s way

Have nothing to do

With the Pastor

Want money from the people

It’s a command from God

And it’s God’s people

Being obedient

To God’s Word — His Will & His Ways

Just like your house

Need money to operate

The Church

Need money to operate

But I hear what you are saying

“ The Church don’t need that much money to operate “

Whether the church

Don’t need much money or not

Or the church don’t have

That many bills

Really don’t matter

The principle of it

Is you being obedient

To what God has said

Malachi 3:6 NIV

““I the Lord do not change.

So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.”

God don’t change —- Active Wrath & Passive Wrath

People have not realize

that a lot of what God

is going to do for us

and through us

is going to be through our GIVING.

Corinthians 9:8

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Example: “ God is able “ — in the hospital 7 days 50,000.00

— Payed a little over a 1,000 dollars.

Malachi 3:10–11 (KJV 1900)

10 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.

11 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.

Malachi 3:9 (KJV 1900)

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, Even this whole nation.

Define: Curse — to have divine harm or evil invoke upon

Define: Curse — something causing misery or death

God’s people haven’t realize that the tithe is Sacred

And something that must not be tampered with

Define: Sacred — Holy, dedicated, Set apart for service or worship

Define: Tithe — comes from a Hebrew word that means “ TEN “

Note: A tithe is 10 percent of one’s grain, fruit, animals or money

Now we deal with Money

Define: Offering — the offering is what I lift up before the Lord because He’s worthy

Note: As mature Christians we should be beyond the 10%

(1:1-3:18) The Book of Malachi History

Malachi is the last of the old testament prophet

Before we hear the voice of John The Baptist

break the silence on the page of the New Testament

Before the Preaching of Jesus there’s about a 400 year span of silence

And Malachi ends at the old testament

He is called The Minor Prophet

But he has a major message

He’s minor only because of the book length of his prophecy

But his message is so major

Here’s the back drop of why he writes what he writes

He writes this prophecy

first because of the people of God

had separated themselves

from the law of God

The people that was responsible

for preaching that was the priest (Pastor)
