Topic: Key To Overflowing Blessing

Text: "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and prove me
now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10).

I have heard many arguments against tithing
(giving 10 percent of your income to God), one of them is tithe is a doctrine of the old testament. How untrue! The fact is, the God of the old testament is the same God of the new testament. Just as God has not changed His mind about how we should walk before Him in holiness and righteousness, He also has not changed His mind about the path He has laid down for us to financial prosperity. Here are two reasons why you must pay your tithe:
1) Its God's command and non compliance will attract dire consequences. 2) Its your covenant key to financial prosperity and liberty. God promised us overflowing blessing when we bring our tithes to Jesus our high priest ( Malachi
3:10).
I once heard the story of a minister who when they were starting out in ministry  didn't have much money but they were giving their tithe all they could, one of the days, his farmer friend butchered a cow
and unexpectedly gave him two coolers full of
meat! That was not only a blessing, but he had
to go buy a new freezer to store it! It was an overflowing measure of blessing that was more than
he had room for!
A well-renowned Christian counselor
say that in his experience working with
marriages, the couples who tithe have far fewer
financial problems than those who don’t. There
is a promise of blessing caused by tithing that
cross-pollinates into many areas of our lives,
both seen and unseen. Trust the Lord’s promise
for you as a tither, because an overflowing measure
of blessing is truly yours!

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, as my heavenly High Priest, I place
the tithe into Your hands. I trust Your promise
that I shall live in blessing of excess measure all
the days of my life. Amen!
