“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty,”
Malachi 3:10 (NIV).
God out of His love for us, threw a challenge at us to prove Him. The test of tithe is of the heart; God sees the motive of your heart. Proverbs 17:3 tells us, “The Lord tests the hearts.” Know that He gave you the power and ability to create wealth for the promotion of His kingdom (Deuteronomy 8:18). He wants to help you actualize kingdom wealth and divine protection. You honor God with the ten percent (10%) of your income, profits, and increase. Jesus says, “If you love me, do my Word” (John 14:15). As you honor Him with your tithe, you shall reap the following benefits:
1) God will throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. (Malachi 3:10). God has allotted a spiritual air space in heaven for you which can either be open or closed. One of the ways to access the air space is by tithing.
2) God will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe. (Malachi 3:11). God protects you from the attack of the devil on your finances, health, business, and family.
3) All the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land, says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 3:12.). God Himself will establish you with so much wealth, like your fathers, Abram (Genesis 13:2); Isaac (Genesis 26:12-14), and Jacob (Genesis 30:43) Galatians 3:29 says, “ if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (NIV). God has given us all things to enjoy, including the silver and the gold; all He requires of us is to prove Him with the 10% as a point of contact to the anointing, for your consistent wealth.
PRAYER / CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you that by my act of faith, you have opened for me your good treasure house, the heavens, to give rain to my land in its season and to bless all the work of my hand; I lend to many nations, but will not borrow in the name of the Lord Jesus.
