Genesis 2:16-17 16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gods Portion God always sets aside a portion for Himself. i.e. temple, days of the week, 12 tribes, etc
Leviticus 27:20 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.
Lev. Notes After The Fall God named His portion The Tithe = 10th He puts His portion in the mist of our i.e. garden of Eden, paycheck. The tithe/10th of all our harvest/income is God s. Grace doesn t eradicate the tithe because the tithe was before the law.
Malachi 3:8-10 8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Bring not give, not pay, because it s not our to give and no way we could ever pay God. Mine house = Church, House of God not any other charitable organization. Meat - all thing necessary to sustain life. i.e. emotional, spiritual, social, physical Prove Me - Try Me, Test Me. If we don t bring , we are cursed with a curse. After salvation and being filled with Holy Ghost, one could argue that tithing is one of the most important aspects of being a Christian because it keeps us in the blessed place. Tithing is not about money. It is about putting God first.
God is a jealous God. God puts us in a position of choosing in order to determine if He is first. i.e. Adam in garden, Abraham and Isaac, tithing. He uses money because He knows that where our treasure is, there be our heart also.
2nd Corinthians 9:10 10Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness
God is not trying to get something from you. He is trying to get something toyou. He promises: Open the windows of heaven .., To rebuke the devourer God is saying , if I can trust you, then I will bless you.
