Tithe

by Lisa
(Chesapeake,VA)

We can hardly tithe the 10%, but we do it anyway. I keep expecting these blessings to come from God for obeying Him and it's as if He is totally silent.

I also continue to have Hope about certain things in my life. (A house, financial, etc)

But things only seem to get worse, not better. My hope is still there, though. Is that God or Satan trying to make me continue to get my hopes up.

tithe but you have to give offering to see supernatural results
by: Anonymous

Firstly, hon you should tithe of all your wages BEFORE tax. Tithe on everything, tax credits, child benefit, if someone gives you a pound on it tithe.

Secondly. tithe to your local church. In malachi 3.10, he says bring all the tithes to the storehouse... this is your local church or in those days it was the synogogue.( i hope i spelt that right)

People dont really understand this principle but the tithe will give you ideas or some people call it revelation, on how to make money. I got an idea when i started tithing and altough i havent seen results as yet. Before i got that idea everything went wrong but through that situation i saw that God allowed things to happen so that i could get an idea on how to make money. I just waiting for the money to start it properly. I hope this kinda makes sense.

Now this is the most important thing..... REMEMBER THIS> In malachi 3. God says ..you have robbed me in tithe and OFFERINGs. If you are going to see results supernaturally, you need to give an offering on top of your tithe. so

example say you earn 1000 pounds. your tithe would be 100. you have to give more than 100. now you have to decide how much your offering is.the scriptures say.... let every man give not grudgingly or out of necessity because God loves a cheerfull giver. you dont have to give your offering to your local church you can give it to TBN OR CREFLO DOLLAR, or anywhere you like, but sew up. basically plant your offering somewhere that is already established.

next stage. say your offering is 50 pounds. you should use it a a seed. basically in genesis after the flood... God said as long as the earth remains there will be seed time and harvest.. and i think its in galations it says. God is not mock you reap what you sow, so if you sow money you will recieve money. and the great thing is he always multiply it your offering, hence the scripture give and it shall be given to you good measure pressed down shaken together running over shall men give into your bossom.

but iMPORTANT... AFTER YOU GIVE YOUR OFFERING EXPECT A HARVEST........ i tell yoy the first time i tried this i sewed 48.00+ and i recieve a harvest of 300 pound in 19 weeks. the only thing is it takes time. i have some more seed that i have planted and im still waiting on as well. God is smart he said seed TIME and harvest. you have to be patient and wait. even in the natural you dont plant an apple seed and expect to get an apple in two weeks..

Be patient i know its easier said than done but you have to proof that your faithfull before you see results.and Impotant watch the words that are coming out of your mouth. Dont say that you are broke. i will pray for you.

hope God gives you the strength to finish the course.

Way to Go Boat Jumper!
by: Karen

Hey Boat Jumper!

Nice. Very nice indeed. Nothing helps more than a testimony from somebody in real life who's been there and done that.

You continue to plant seeds of blessing as you tell others just how faithful God is.

By the sound of your name, boat jumper, it sounds like you made the decision to jump out of the boat and into the deep where all the blessings are.

Nice work Boat Jumper.

Continue to be blessed,

Karen

Hang on!

Try this on for size! Tithe on what you want to make not on what your making. Think like a farmer. Maybe its not your tithe thats lacking but the field your planting it in. We use to tithe in many places but then narrowed it down to our most productive field, an evangelical church with an international missions department. For the last two januarys we have increased our tithes by 25 percent. This last time I told him I didnt need any more money, I just love to watch him work. I ran into a gal christmas shopping who asked me to help her with some plumbing. Turns out she works for a management company managing 925 rental houses.I had to add a crew and truck on in the middle of a recession. It becomes an unspoken testimony.We have totally fleshy people watching us like hawks and their seeing it. Darling change your field and hang on.when it happens fear is ran out the door. You and God hook up in a new way and you realize he is in control of your finances. he is just determining how much he can trust you with. I am just a redneck plumber from Memphis, Tn but God has turned my business into a ministry. Who is testing who? Change your fields and hang on!
He loves you enough to die for you, he will give you a raise if your responsible with it. He is not going to do it if it is going to lead you to the pits of hell. He' crazy about you, not your money, Who or what are you crazy about. See you up top!

Tithing
by: thelma trunk

Lisa, think of tithing, as a farmer does.

He plants the seed, but he doesn't go out and get the harvest the next day or week. It takes time for your seed to grow and multiply. Be patient and faithful.

You can never go wrong being obiedient to God's word. You have read Malachi:3 I am sure. If not read it now, but this is the only time in the bible that God says to put him to the test. Other places it says to not test God, but here he says to do the testing.

My husband and I have tithed for years, but when we started, we were really in difficult straits with 5 children. But we took $5.00 and started there, and when God increased our income we would increase our tithing, until years later, we were tithing 20%.

Just be faithful. When you tithe it will not mean that nothing will ever break down, and need repair, for the enemy wants to make you discouraged and then to stop. Don't listen to him, just keep on doing what you know to do, and God will bless you.

Remember, it takes time for the harvest to grow, but it will be there when you really need it.

People say that you can't take it with you, when you die, but you can send it on forward!!!!

God bless,

Thelma

Just do it!
by: Lynn Mosher

Lisa, I read Karen's comments and they are right on! I just have this to add...

There is one area of our lives that the enemy will never tempt us - and that is in tithing. He will never tempt us to tithe, however, he will plant the seeds of doubt. If you water those seeds with your worries and concerns, they will grow, and soon, you will stop tithing. Then, your garden of fruitful blessings will be nothing more than a patch of weeds!

Take heart, my friend, I know how you feel, but never give up your obedience to God's will to tithe.

Sow in thankfulness and reap in joy!

I pray blessings on you, Lynn

Your Christian Finances
by: Karen

Hi Lisa,

This is one of the hardest parts of being a Christian because it involves something very important in our lives.....Money.

My husband and I started tithing many years ago. At the time my husband thought I might be a little nuts, given that the idea of it seemed completely backwards based on what the world tells you.

What I can tell you from experience is that it's not a mistake to tithe. We've seen our finances grow substantially, certainly not based on some of our decisions, but based on God's faithfulness.

Now, I also have to say, there may be people out there who find mystery checks in their mailboxes after tithing. Um....no, that didn't happen to us. We kept believing, kept tithing, and tried to make good choices with our money.

When it comes to managing your money, God has a part to play, but so do you and your husband. God can work with you, but He won't stop you from buying things you can't afford, or living a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget.

There comes a time when you have to make hard choices until things really do turn around. And the people that succeed in this area are committed to doing their part so God can do His part.

And don't forget about those pesky lessons you're supposed to be learning as you go through this. Sometimes God doesn't change your circumstances until He knows you've learned the lesson from it. And He'll keep letting you take the test until you pass.

Lisa, you're always going to hear a voice telling you that tithing is nuts. I did, it was my husband's voice. :) But keep moving forward in prayer and confidence. Make right financial choices and get some outside help if you need it so you can learn money management skills.

It's not easy, but it's worth it.

Blessings,

Karen
