The Tithe: The Gateway Out Of The Recession- God Has Already Prepared An Abundance For You!

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:17-18)

My friend, what is the tithe? It is the "gateway for the believer into the covenant of blessings." In the Hebrew "maaser" or "maasrah," is translated tenth, or tenth part, and in Greek "apodekatoo" and in both, it means a payment or giving or receiving of the tenth.

The tithe is that tenth of our income that we give to God, which enables Him to move on our behalf in the area of blessings. The Bible records numerous accounts of man tithing to God. God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with. The tithe principle is this: He gives unto us, we give back to Him one-tenth of all that He has blessed us with.

Are you following the tithe principle?

Abraham tithed unto Melchizedek, Isaac tithed, his son Jacob tithed and many others also, even before the law was given concerning tithing. Many Christians do not tithe because they have been taught that they are not under the law, but under grace. While this is a true statement, God did not institute the tithe to bring us under the law, but to get blessings to His children.

Abraham tithed before the law, and God blessed him supernaturally. We're under grace that we might establish the law, not turn from it. Jesus said that He didn't come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it. Because He fulfilled it, we are to establish it. His Words are forever settled in heaven; therefore we establish His Words upon the earth.

One-tenth of EVERYTHING belongs to God!

This scripture states that the tithe, whether it be seed of the land, fruit of the tree, or one tenth of all that you earn, is holy unto the Lord. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 states that one-tenth of all that comes into your possession, belongs to God. This was God's plan to instruct His people as to the way of blessings that He had for them.

God is a multiplier by nature, but He cannot multiply that which is not entrusted to Him. When the children of Israel were obedient and gave back to God that which was His, increase was guaranteed. Scripture states, “It's better to be obedient than to sacrifice.” When the children of Israel were obedient, blessings came; when they were disobedient, they had to sacrifice.

The tithe will lead you out of the recession – today!

1 Samuel 15:22: "And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." This is your season to watch for the signs; this is your season to communicate with your angels daily; this is your season to know that obedience is so much better than sacrifice.

Trust God, and forget your circumstances!
