Discuss Malachi 3 Page 13

I know that we must give because it is the maker who gives to us and he does want us to do the same our rewards is with the almighty Amen!

Father Bless Me, so that I may be a blessing to others. Amen

The way to god.

Givers never lack. The only problem is when you give and no one receives but definitely someone must receive. The best money ritual is giving. So start giving today and your life will never remain the same.

Malachi 3:8 is about Tithing. If you don`t Tithe, then you are robbing GOD. A robber takes when the owner is looking and by force. God knows what we earn and that we are supposed to give because he gave us. Stealing is different because we take without the owner`s knowledge. so we rob GOD if we don`t follow MALACHI 3:8.

Malachi 3:8 is talking about giving 10% back to god. Its obeying the word of god. I have to start given my tithes and offering so I can receive my blessing. I serve a good god and I have been selfish toward him but, I'm paying for it now. Everyone lets go get our blessing because I know I'm going to get mine.

It is true. I gave the Lord 1% and the Lord
reduced my income to 10% of His original plan
and told me "now that makes your 1% a tythe.
Continue to give me 'that 10$ o f my 10% and
I will increase it to my original 100%'

As the Lord says:

"let God be true, but every man a liar"
Romans 3:4

Julio C. Banks

It means to (mandatory)givr 10% of your earnings when you receive your earnings. Offering isn't as mandatory as tithes. But you are asked to give. Doest have to be money it can be a piece if clothing or just something that can be of service to someone else.
I do have a question though. I was told titheing was for those of the old testament. That it is not mentioned in the new testament. That we are to live by faith Gods grace and simply obidience but as for titheing. That isn't a must in the new testament. Please give me understanding
Thank you

this should only be given to Levites.and only Israelites should contribute one tenth.Also through agricultural products and live stock.Nowhere in the bible says,10% of the salary should be paid to God s work, But christ has his own theory about giving to others.

What this means is simply this, if you take or "ROB" from one of my children you will be cursed. This would follow along perfectly with what verse ten and eleven are saying. Before I was saved I had done this very thing and I was cursed for years until I came to the table.

Malachi3:6 i change th not my love toward all mankind is unchangeable and my patience is also unchangeable in this case you are not consumed,God is the same yesterday,today,tomorrow and forever more.

The Lord keeps laying this particular scripture on my heart and I can't quite understand why...it is certainly not how "I" feel, I mean I know and understand the importance of serving God,I know that it is NOT vain, I understand that serving Him profits us much, Serving Him allows us peace here on earth that surp***es all understanding and eternal life in the future! Any mourning we do now will turn into tears of joy in the end! So again I'm not sure why this is the scripture that keeps coming to mind during my daily bible study...Lord p,ease reveal.to me what I need to do or to get out of this verse so that I can move on...in Jesus name I pray...Amen.

What is the store house now it use to be the church and where is the church

Tithe is not of the Mosaic law. It preceded the law. Abraham paid tithe to mechissedek. if Christ was made a priest after the order of mechiseeck then tithe payment is acceptable in Christianity.

I think we should give in order to attract God's blessings upon us.

Tith give access to heaven
Tith is the blessing connector
Tith determines the future of your investment
Tith holds the key of overflow
tith makes nation a recognizable blessing

@ Reggie,
Comments on Hebrews 7:8. You say: “The only way to pay tithes today is to witness that Jesus lives... Our life then becomes a living epistle, in honoring our Great High Priest”.
While I like very much the idea of honoring our God by our lives, as “living epistles”, I don’t agree with your idea of not paying tithe. Here’s why: The “tithes and offerings” principle/law was established by God way before Sinai. Remember Abraham paying tithe to Melchisedec ( Genesis 14)? The tithes were supposed to take care of the “men of God”, the poor and the orphans. The tenth belonged to God before the cross, and is His today. The same Apostle Paul says: “The labourer is worthy of his reward” ( 1Timothy 5:18), and “Even so hath THE LORD ORDAINED that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel” ( 1 Corinthians 9:14). You don’t suppose the Gospel Workers should be paid of government subsidies?! … Your reference to Romans 10:4 doesn’t apply. Here’s what bro. Malachi says: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?: In tithes and offerings ( Malachi 3:8).
But the best argument of paying tithes and offerings is made by Jesus in Matthew 25:40, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me”. And you know what will happen to those who don’t… God bless.

i think titheing is giving ten percent. I never had done it before until a Christian friend and I had several conversations about it. I also talked to my pastor about it. He was very compassionate. I felt like I already had an understanding about what it meant but kept finding excuses to not give my ten. I was very poor at the time. That was my biggest excuse. I sometimes, even now-six years later, try to talk myself out of giving my tenth. But after I started doing it, everything changed for me. God made sure I had enough to go on, though my bank acct never really balanced. I can't explain it. He just took care of me. All this, even though my wife went from a $50,000/yr salary to nothing due to layoffs, economy, etc., and I went into ministry, and was being paid nothing. It is unbelievable, I know. God works miracles, folks. That's all I know.

Tithing is not something a Christian does in order to receive from God,it is something we do to prove our devotion and our sense of worshiping Him as our Almighty King. It is not referring to money by itself. Tithing includes our love, worship and service to Him.
Mark 12:17 states,And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. We are to render to both Caesar
and God but if there is a contradiction,God has supremacy in our lives and in our worship.

There are things that God has bound together. These cannot and should not be separated. The Lord has bound Faithful return of tithes and offering with (1) "open windows of heaven", (2) "poured out blessing", (3)"rebuke to the devourer", (4)" being called blessed" and and (5) "being a delightsome land", saith the LORD of hosts.

it is obvious to me they said and answered the question it was not god speaking after "In tithes and offerings" it was the priests and i come to this conclusion because god said "But ye say, In what have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
Jesus said well render unto god what is gods and he gave us free will to humble it back to him and life by faith that pleases him!

I now understand what it means to tithe by giving 10 percent.

We do not give because we have, But we have because we Give. Just as the scripture says "test me therefore, and see if I will not POUR YOU OUT a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it"

Jesus Christ has now come and fulfilled the Mosaic Law. We now live under Grace. If we live under the Law, we have fallen from Grace. We now give as we purpose in our hearts. However, if we choose to live by the Law, we must keep the whole Law and not pick and choose the ones we like best.

The gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, for therein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written the just shall live by faith. When it refers to the just, that talks about those that have, genuinely and truly given their lives to Jesus Christ, so that He can become, their LORD and Saviour, Romans 1:16, 17. Interestingly, Paul the apostle was not ashamed of it, and hence, we should not be ashamed of it either. And therefore, with reference to the issue of payment of tithe and giving of offering, these are doctrines that the New Testament dispensation approves- and because it is in the Old Testament does not mean it should be discarded. The Word says: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes Him should not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:16. It also says: As many as received Him, He has then given the power to become sons of God, even those who believe in His name, John 1:12. When you believe the Word of God and diligently act upon it, the power of the Holy Spirit will comes upon you. Have you not heard it when it says: Seek ye First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you? Matthew 6:33. God is the covenant keeping God, hence when God’s Word is received , believed and acted upon, based on the law of love, God has no option but to honour His part of the covenant. That means, when God’s dictates are put in place, all argument ceases and that is because of God’s integrity, and the infallibility of the Holy Writ.

For I am the Lord I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. After such an assurance what other question do you have? Friends let’s just pay the tithe and offering and see if HE will open the windows of heaven. Of course HE WILL.

The "seed" is Jesus. At the time of Haggai's given prophetic word, Jesus was still in heaven, with the Father. The connotation of "seed" is holy all throughout the scriptures. Genesis 3:15 is the first messianic prophecy referred to Jesus as the "seed", of a woman would come to crush the head of Satan. Paul speaks of the "seed" of Abraham as not being many but one and that "seed" is Christ. The "seed" was literally in a stable on the ninth month twenty fourth day, which after God said, in verse 18, from this day and upward will I bless you. At the writing of Haggai, Jesus was literally, in the storehouse or barn of heaven. Malachi 3:10, 11, but God opened the windows of heaven and sent His son to be the saviour of the world, in due time. After which the rebuke of the devourer ie Satan; began and was manifested on the mount of temptation, where Jesus rebuked him. As yet the vine (Church), fig tree (Israel), pomegranate (Resurrection of Jesus), and the olive oil (Baptism in the Holy Ghost) were not brought forth, for the real laying of the foundation of the glorious eternal Temple of God. Until the "Seed" came, prophesied from Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 53, Psalms 22 and many other scriptures. The "Seed" left heaven and was referred to as "Seed", by Christ himself, in His parables as the "Good Seed" sown, bringing forth much fruit 30, 60, and 100 fold. God said from this day I will bless you. Peace on earth and good will to men, sounds like Christmas to me, the greatest gift ever! Agape. – Reggie.

The Old Testament Tithe law was just that, part of the Mosaic Law, and that law is no longer in use today because of what Christ did on the cross. If you still preach this today you may want to read Galatians 1:8.

To me that verse represents more than just finances, tithing means everything he gave to us we need to give back to him. The tenth portion of it.

I heard this today ''in my spirit'' I heard God say this to me... I am so blessed. I was a very sad few weeks before. BUT GOD "IS GOOD" and WORTHY TO BE PRAISED.
