faithful tithing
Wonderful thing happened. Last week the posb account was real low and we had to transfer money from our savings, analysing how the money went so quickly. At the beach on Sunday we received a love offering from an anonymous giver! One moment we were scratching our head, and then this week we were rejoicing and praising the Lord. He is gracious, gracious, gracious!
One of the great keys God has provided to the Joshua generation to unlock the richness of life is faithful tithing i.e. giving 10% of your allowance or income to the Lord. It was never taught openly in church in my teenage years. I sort of picked it up reading books and interacting with church friends.
Tithing is actually God’s financial plan to prosper us and to enable the church to spread the Gospel message. He is God and doesn’t need our money but our acknowledgement that all we have is His, and our act of faith, puts us in a posture to receive His blessings.
I have tithed since I learned this principle at Pre Uni 1 and from small amounts in school, through National Service and my cadet teaching years and when I went into full-time ministry, got married and had children to this present day, I have found that God has fulfilled his promise to “POUR OUT SO MUCH BLESSING THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOM ENOUGH FOR IT” (MAL 3.10).
All these 32 years, I have been so blessed and contented spiritually as well as relationally and materially. I have come to personally experience God’s love, faithfulness, tender kindness and attention.
