Question – Why do I really have to tithe and what will it really do for me?
Most people ask me this question because they have subscribed to the fact that tithing is not required because it was referenced in the Old Testament and secondly God knows their situation. It is true that God wants the best for you that is why He instituted the tithe to meet and exceed your needs. The tithe is for your benefit. God only requires a dime out of a dollar because He wants to set up a repetitive cycle of blessings for you and your family. When you give, your needs are met and increase happens in your life not only in the area of money, but in all areas of your life.
There are 3 different promises from giving the tithe: First, God promises that He will open the windows of Heaven for you to become a blessing (Malachi 3:10). Secondly, the giving of the tithe protects your future income and prevents debt (Malachi 3:11). Lastly, the tithe will ensure a lasting testimony of God’s greatness for your life (Malachi 3:12). Your witness for God will be much stronger and you will become the light of the world that people are searching.
