Tithe : An integral part of your life.

Genesis 2: 16-17
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

God specifically told Adam what he is supposed to eat and what he is not supposed to eat. God commanded Adam not to eat the fruit of one tree but gave him the right to eat from any other tree. Why would God do this? What difference does a single tree make?

Tithe is 10% of your income and it belongs to God. This is established and ordained by God since the garden of Eden. The reason God told them not to eat from one tree is not because God was hungry but because He wanted Adam to acknowledge that God is His Source and everything he has today is because of the grace and love of God and everything that he will ever need in the future will be taken care of by God himself. Hallelujah. Guess, what was Satan after ? After that one tree. God and Satan are not after money. But they are after your trust. God commanded Adam not to declare independence but to acknowledge God as the Source and depend on Him for every single thing by refusing to eat the fruit of that tree. Don't eat your tithe for it is holy and it belongs to Jesus, our high priest. Tithe acknowledges God as the Source and Sustainer of your life. It affects not just your finances but every area of your life. Jesus said give to God what is Gods and to Caesar what is Caesar's.

Tithe releases the blessing thats on your life and the released blessing makes you rich without any sorrow. Always give God your first and your best. Friend, why don't you acknowledge that you are not independent but totally dependent on the Father by giving your tithe faithfully and joyfully. Tithe is an integral part of your life and it affects every area of your life. As you faithfully tithe your first and best to God, praise and thank Him and expect Him to meet all your needs for He is your Source and your Sustainer. Jesus is Lord!
