Why tithe:

The origins of tithing are found as early as Adam and Eve’s first born sons.  In Genesis 4: 3-7, we find Cain and Abel setting aside a portion  as an offering to the Lord. 

 

“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.  And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

 

We soon learn in these first few verses God doesn’t just want blind tithing but an offering from the heart, true first fruits.  It is by giving to Him first that we fulfill the commandment that we shall have no other Gods.  

 

Investing in the kingdom of God is about more than a financial transaction, it is a display of our support to spread the gospel message of salvation.

Matthew 6: 19-21 “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
