The Lord will provide. No matter what your bank book may say, He will provide. When you live in His will and obey His law, He will provide. All we need to do is work, tithe, budget and give to the right place and we will achieve financial success and freedom. In fact, Jesus told us to "test Him" on tithing to show how He does indeed give back when we give our tithes and offerings to the storehouse, aka church. Tithing was one of the first things I began when I was first saved. I was saved in 1993 and knew right away that I needed to tithe my earnings and I immediately began to give to my local church and I always had favor shining upon me. But my journey with Christ has had many bumps with several peaks and valleys, due to my own stubbornness, therefore whenever I tested His Word on this command, I paid the price. My finances were effected instantly. I am here to tell you, it is not worth the consequences you will face. Tithing seals you up and I must say it gives me such blessed assurance now that I know how vital it is. Whether I tithe $5 or $500, my Lord provides. Give to God first then all else will follow. Never worry about how this or that will work out, for He will work it all out. Be not afraid and don't ever believe the lie that you cannot afford to tithe, for the truth is none of us can afford not to. So with that I lift you and your family up in prayer and I ask that the Lord bless you financially and bestow favor upon you as you obey Him. May He breathe new life into your household and upon your heart today.
Malachi 3:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
