Honoring God with Weekly Tithes & Offerings is indication you’ve been spiritually reborn&have an eternal perspective!
D. Tithing and First Fruits Offerings are the clear method to show God’s ownership of our life. “Tithing” (“first 10th of all your produce” Prov. 3:9) is referred to 50 times. Tithing began 500 yrs before the Law of Moses by people wanting an intimate relationship with God. When you put God first, God is ready to multiply your giving as you see it is not an Expense, but an Opportunity! Faithful giving opens up heaven’s account & releases God’s favor. Psalm 35:27 says “God takes pleasure in prospering us.” Psalm 34:10 adds “Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” II Cor. 9:11 “You’ll be enriched in everything for all liberality”.

So claim what God says you can have by giving & living in Generosity, for Prov. 8:18 God says “Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness…and my yield better than choicest silver!” Our God (Gen. 22) is Jehovah Jireh—Our Provider!
