4-1-2020-THE SHAME OF TITHES
"REMARKS"
I WAS WATCHING A SPIRITUAL PROGRAM WHERE PEOPLE WRITE IN EMAILS ABOUT LIFE SITUATIONS AND CALL IN. THIS DAY AN OLDER MAN WHO JUST LOST AND BURIED HIS LATE WIFE AND WAS ASKING IF HE SHOULD CONSIDER THE COST OF THE FUNERAL AS BEING TITHED.
THIS OLD MAN WAS SO SAD AND DISMAYED AT HIS LOSS AND HIS CONCERN AT THIS TIME WAS THE TITHE PREACHED IN ERROR AND PUTS PEOPLE UNDER BONDAGE AND NOT FREEDOM.
WHAT IS TITHE? TITHE IS CONSIDERED 10% AND WAS COMMANDED BY YAHWEH TO THE ISRAELITES TO GIVE OF THEIR FOOD PRODUCTS 10% THE FIRST OF THEIR HARVEST OF WINE, OIL, AND GRAIN AND ETC.
NUMBERS 18:21 = I YAHWEH GIVE TO THE LEVITES ALL THE TITHES IN ISRAEL AS THEIR INHERITANCE IN RETURN FOR THE WORK THEY DO WHILE SERVING IN THE TENT OF MEETING( AND IN THE TEMPLE LATER). THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOW WHO GETS THE TITHE WHO WERE LEVITES(NOT A CHURCH) WHO HAD ALSO NO INHERITANCE OF PROPERTY.
IN 11 CHRONICLES 31: 4-5=YAHWEH ORDERED THE PEOPLE LIVING IN JERUSALEM TO GIVE THE PORTION DUE THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES SO THEY COULD DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO THE LAW OF YAHWEH. AS SOON AS THE ORDER WENT OUT, THE ISRAELITES GENEROUSLY GAVE THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEIR GRAIN, NEW WINE, OLIVE OIL AND HONEY AND ALL THAT THE FIELDS PRODUCED. THEY BROUGHT A GREAT AMOUNT, A TITHE OF EVERYTHING.
I DON'T THINK I HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE PRECIOUS $$$$$$$$$$$$, THAT FILTHY LUCRE THAT MOST PREACHERS AND MINISTRIES CHASE AFTER TO BUILD THEIR OWN LITTLE KINGDOMS.
FOLKS IF YOU WANT TO TITHE GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND SET ASIDE 10% OF YOUR GROCERY BUGGY ASIDE FOR THE TITHE AND PRESENT IT TO THE PREACHER TO PUT IN THE STOREHOUSE SO THERE BE FOOD. EVERY CHURCH SHOULD HAVE A STOREHOUSE FOR THE POOR AND THIS IS WHERE THE TITHE IS APPROPRIATE.
MONEY IS CONSIDERED A FREE WILL OFFERING AND SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT HE WHO SOWS SPARINGLY WILL REAP SPARINGLY BUT HE WHO SOWS ABUNDANTLY WILL REAP ABUNDANTLY(11 CORINTHIANS 9:6).
IN CONCLUSION, WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO JUSTIFY MONEY AS A PART OF TITHING THEY WANT TO USE MALACHI 3: 10=BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS SAYS YAHWEH OF HOSTS IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT A BLESSING, THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECIEVE IT. THE WORD FOOD IN THIS SCRIPTURE SHOULD ESTABLISH WHAT IS BEING COMMANDED OF US AND THOSE IN THOSE DAYS.
TRUTH IS TRUTH!
SO LETS KEEP THE TRUTH,TRUTH AND ERRORS, ERRORS.
