Discuss Malachi 3 Page 12

God owns everything in this world things are loan to us as we make our journey through life God is teaching us about giving when we do tithes The church cannot maintain itself so that s where tithes comes in but there are priest who use the tithes as there personal cash which is robbery

The Lord changes not his promises are sure

The tithe was for the levites They owned no property They served monotheistic believers The Almighty was their inheritance Do you know anyone like that If yes given them your money

If others have practiced Tithe and it works for them and some also testified that they don t pay it and they are living fine I CONCLUDE WITH THIS TRUE EVIDENCE THAT WE SHALL ALL REAP WHATEVER WE SOW and those who collect Tithe should spend it right not to use it to build sch and ask Tithe payers to pay sch heavy sch feed or make life difficult for Tithe payers by not providing for the needy in their folds Churches I MEAN TITHE PAYERS CHURCHES SHOULD SET UP COMMITTEES ON HOW TO BETTER D LIVES OF THEIR MEMBERS and should not use Tithe issue to place curse on the souls Christ died for but should encourage them and better there LIVES Thanks

No one should be tithing 10 of your money to anyone unless God through prayer tells you too God blessed you with health and strength each day to go out there and make it happen and then you just want to give your blessings away to most times ungodly people Pray instead God will always lead you to help the right person that needs your help The right time to give Each day look around you That person at the bus stop can you give them a ride Ask God if it s ok I promise he will answer you God knows your situation and what you are capable of Let God lead your life and get your head heart out of the way I promise you will be amazed and truly blessed Love Jesus with all your heart soul and mind He loves it

God is so faithful to us. You can never out give God. When know better you should do better. I was paying 10% off my net pay and when I learned that I should pay off my gross I did just that and God has not only meet the needs of my family He has given me an increase every year. I tested Him and found God to be faithful.

Either we like it or not God will not change his standard to suit our purpose. What he says stand and cannot be changed by any-one. Malachi 3 tells us about God's mind concerning our lives most especially about titheing. For example a farmer that harvest and fail to keep some will have nothing to plant the next season. It is very difficult to understand what you've not practice and believe. In a nut-shell giving out tithe is rewardable and it should be 100% and not part.

Malachi I written to to Jews. Tithing isn't required of us saved christians. But I tithe my income because I love God. The Christian life is not easy, and if you give tithe's to receive blessings you are looking at it all wrong.As long as we are on this earth, we will always get sick and go through struggles. But God loves us and will reward us sometimes even though we don't deserve anything.

I've been tithing all my christian life 3 years ago when everything got out of control about the prosperity gospel I started seeking after truth then jesus said follow me. I syop tithing 3 years ago to find out for myself if I will be curse the thing is I only learned that God is love he has great plans for us and our children will be bless by the lord. People really made God to be ugly and selfish. Pls understand Jesus paid the price once and for all my finances is restored my relationships with friends and family is beautiful now I find out for myself that when you love God others benefit from that love if you want to touch God you touch someone or love someone you see I'm doing good no curse there its not about paying or not paying but because he has made us righteous set us free from the curse in his last words TETELESTAI. IT IS FINISH

Where does it say in the BIBLE, that the Tithes have to be one tenth?

Yes you have to pay tithes even on a fixed/low income. Trust in the lord with all your heart and he will meet your every need I'm a witness to that and I can say I'm disable and when I was putting my trust in the Lord and paying my tithes I can truly say I had more than enough to pay bills,eat,and buy every thing I needed for my household. faith works well with hope

Do a person on fixed income have to pay tenth for tithes?

This tithes for storehouse means food for church or people.this tithes is what they used to make tracks of doctrines,and this doctrines was the food to people made from your tithes.So we don't have to stop giving tithes.

Man can change, visions and dreams can change decision can also change but He (GOD) can not change. With that all He said stands nomatter what.

I was just researching this scripture today. Tithing doesn't only have to be about money. Can we give a tenth of our energy, resources, life, time, or whatever to God. How about our youth! While you still have energy and strength, give your youth to Jehovah! Perhaps serve in another country, and help their. He surely will bring a blessing until there is no more want.

according to verse 10,it means that,the only key to our prosperity is by giving FULL TITHES AND OFFERINGS,no sickness and poverty can be in our lives if we learn to give fully and faithfully to God......serving God is good!!

@Mayo... Luke 6:38 says "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
I personally don't believe it matters where you give. I personally believe God will direct you to where the help is most needed.

Pls is it ok to spread ones tithe to 2 or more Churches?

Another point on tithing is that the operation of a church facility the same as a temple back in those days requires either the proper goods (some used to tithe by giving of supplies needed i.e. wood, material for the drapes etc) and the priests needed to be cared for since this was their full time job. The temples had no chairs because the priests were continually working (or supposed to be) all the while they were in the temple. We are to support our facilities w/funds for electric, water, permits etc. as well as full time pastors. How is that done if people don't tithe?

Also remember we are giving unto the Lord the same as if you were putting it into His hands. What happens to the tithe once it leaves our hands we give it with the proper motivation in our hearts is between those who receive it and God.

To answer anothers question about tithes, Jesus told us to render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and unto God that which is God's. Also, we are instructed to tithe but we don't give to get and not all getting is $$. Sometimes what we receive is an answer to prayer, healing or a need that is provided. Too many teach tithing to get something. I questioned this myself but we can not manipulate God and besides if God tells us to give and He will bless us then it is a promise on HIS behalf not on us. God says He loves a cheerful giver so He wants us to give because we want to not grudgingly and not just to get something in return. Besides when we do for others we are immediately blessed in our hearts so aren't we immediatley blessed to give a portion back to God that He has blessed us with? Should we be selfish w/God's blessing us? That job, guess what, it came from God. He opens doors that we don't realize and that promotion or raise? Yep! God did that too. We tend to be too prideful and thing we do it all. God blesses us in ways we don't realize because we are too busy living life. Be thankful in all things.

Abraham, Jacob gave 10%, that was before the law was given. God is trustworthy. 29 yrs ago, I, born again, a miser, homemaker, no high education, struggled b4 started giving to God. Now I own a factory, a maisonette, a condomidium, 2 cars, 2 lorries, 6 staffs & plenty of $$$$$ Go plant apple seed, what do you reap? I prefer to plant $ that's why I am reaping $$$$$,Glory to God.

GOD knew what kind person King Saul was going to be before HE appointed him ,it was just that the people wanted a King so badly that HE gave Saul to them I believe that these people are just like we are today, Saul was tall and it sound like very nice looking, so they really like that,we look at what a person look like rather than pray and seek GOD for what is best for us, Saul went against GOD commandment just like allot of us when we are put in a high positions we think that we can do things the way that we want to do things and treat people any kind of way because of the position that we'er in, but we can't, GOD can not and will not bless us to go on, we see this in many of our churches today how people are pulling away just like they pulled away from Saul.people may change, things may change , but GOD word will never change. I THANK GOD that HE is not let us. Malachi 3:6 I am the LORD thy GOD and I change not.

Let God Himself speak to you about this, whether to give or not to give, whether still required of us or not. Personally, He has instructed me to obey, so I believe it is still required of us in the new dispensation!

although season changes, Government changes, human changes even knowledge changes. But I AM THAT I AM changes NOT

In the book of Malachi I understand that God was conversing with the priests. Weren't the priests misusing the tithes and offerings effectively robbing God ? Also if I were to give my tithes to God in order to get a blessing, does that make God some kind of servant? Where I say to God, here I've paid you, now you owe me. I really don't think God was speaking to us, but to the priests, or am I wrong?

It has always been Gods principle for us to sacrifice through giving,what is important here is obedience for it is greater than sacrifice,faith cometh by hearing and hearing / obeying the word of God .If we give tights we are activating our faith that God will in return bless us

I consider the book of malachi to the book which remind us about God's Love.

God help me to be a faithful tither and a cheerful giver.

Help me Lord to obey your word and do as it says.
