UNLOCKING THE OVERFLOW THROUGH TITHING

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

TOPIC: UNLOCKING THE OVERFLOW THROUGH TITHING

TEXT: “…And see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing..(Mal.3:10 NIV)

God in His word has given us the key to overflowing prosperity and blessing. That key is the Tithe. The tithe is the ten percent of your income and it belongs to God. The tithe is a sacred thing and the Bible says it is Holy unto the LORD (Lev.27:30), therefore we need to be careful about what we do with it so we don’t sin against God.

So it’s not to be eaten by you or borrowed or broken. It must be given wholly to the LORD. Whether you see tithe as an Old Testament law or a New Testament truth, one thing is certain, giving God the first tenth of your income demonstrate that He is first in your life.

To those that will walk in obedience to God in the area of Tithing there are six promises that will become a reality in such life: 1) God promised the overflow. He said “…I will throw open the floodgates” The floodgates represent the overflow.  (Mal.3:10). (2) God promised to enable you accomplish great things. “Pour you a blessing that your room cannot handle”. The blessing is a divine enabler that will help you accomplish great things. (V: 10).

 (3) God promised protection. He said “I will rebuke the devourer for your sake” (V: 11). To rebuke means to cripple. God will cripple the enemy so he can’t harm you or anything that belong to you. (4) God promised not to let your expectations get aborted “…And the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit”. In other words your investments will not be lost. Your efforts will not be in vain. (5)God promised to make you a standard of His power and blessing to the nations “All nations shall call you blessed” (V: 12). This means not only will you be blessed, you will be a blessing. (6) God promised to make you a highly favoured person He said “…For you will be a delightful land” (V: 12).

Somebody might say these Pastors are after my money. Is God after your money? No! He is after your lack! Your not giving it will not make God lesser than what He already is. Instead God wants you to be blessed and protected all the days of your life. So start practicing this ancient truth today.
