Jesus Is Not Against Tithes And Offerings

Deut. 14:22; Mal. 3:8-9; Lk. 11:42; Gen. 14:20

Abraham our Father, brought tithes OF ALL to Melchizedek while Levi was still in his loins; children of Israel were taught to pay their tithes (Deut. 14:22); God said you should bring all tithes to His storehouse and He challenged you to prove Him for uncountable blessings; Jesus challenged the Pharisees for tithing many things but neglecting justice and the love of God. He said they should have done both. Do you give ALL or PART of your tithe? Have you checked the motive of all giving? If these are not approved by God, that may be the reason your expectations are cut off and seems heaven is closed.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: Bring ye ALL tithes to my storehouse.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, I am a faithful tither (if you are) please release all the blessings of faithfulness in tithing that are pending.
