Zionworld Publications. Saturday,23rd-November. THE WORKS OF ABRAHAM – TITHING Memory Verse: Gen 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave him a tithe of all. For the believer who understands the Word of God, tithing should not be contemplated- it isn’t optional! A major mistake often made by believers is that they see tithing as just giving to God. No! It is more than that- it is an honour to God! Therefore if it is an honour, we must learn to do it well. It is improper to pay your tithe after you have done all your spending. If God is first in your life then your tithe should be put aside before any other thing is considered. It should be the first one-tenth of what you have earned. Imagine if all ten parts of your earning were arranged in a neat pile, then your tithe would be the part at the top of the heap- Hebrews 7:4 (AMP) ‘Now observe and consider how great [a personage] this was to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth [THE TOPMOST OR THE PICK OF THE HEAP] of the spoils.’ Knowing this, it would be impossible for you to spend your tithe, or be left with no money other than your tithe and be tempted to spend it. A common excuse often used by many believers for not paying their tithe is that it has been abolished with the law. How wrong they are seeing that tithing came before the law. Abraham was not under the law yet he paid his tithe to Melchizedek. Hence if tithe did not come with the Law it could not have been abolished with the law! Abraham did not tithe according to the Levitical order but after that of Melchizedek. This is the order we follow as seeds of Abraham! CONFESSION: I am committed to paying my tithe regularly and on time. The floodgates of heaven are open upon me and blessings are released! From COZA. Further Reading: Proverbs 23 I love you always.
