Blessed to Bless Pt 3
BLESSED TO BLESS
BIBLICAL TITHING: IS IT NECESSARY FOR CHRISTIANS TODAY?
Text: Malachi 3:8-10, Gen. 14:20, Galatians 6:7, Proverbs 3:9, 2 Cor. 9:7, Mark 4:15
Malachi 3
TITHING IS NOT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. TITHING IS WHAT WE GET TO DO.
It unlocks the blessings of God from Heaven - Malachi 3
When we tithe we build HIS kingdom.
Tithing is tied to worship.
Genesis 14:20 - it was a picture of honor.
Melchizedek was a type of Christ.
So when we tithe we are honoring Christ.
Abraham tithed, before it was part of the law.
Galatians 6:7
The Lord promises to bless the faithful giver. Why? Because he proves that he can be faithful so the Lord blessed his faithfulness.
First Fruits - Proverbs 3:9
Many people evaluate the quality of their stewardship based on their budgeting discipline and debt levels.
Good stewards live on a budget and are wise in their use of debt.
Being a wise steward of a great king actually means bringing increase to that ruler’s kingdom, just as the five-talent steward in Jesus’ parable did.
It ultimately won’t be about money.
It will be about souls.
It will be about lives impacted.
Money matters because poor stewards of all God has entrusted to them don’t bring increase to their Lord’s kingdom.
WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THINGS COMPETING FOR OUR RESOURCES.
TO MANY PEOPLE EAT THE SEED.
GOD TOLD YOU TO SOW IT, BUT YOU DECIDED TO BLOW IT.
WHEN WE EAT WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSE TO SOW, WE EAT THE HARVEST.
WHEN YOU SOW BOUNTIFULLY, YOU WILL REAP BOUNTIFULLY.
2 Corinthians 9:7
"Whatever you sow is your seed; whatever you keep is your harvest". - Mike Murdock
Where we mess up is thinking we are owners and not stewards.
It’s important that we give God 100% not just 10%.
Sowing and Reaping
Mark 4:15
When you sow, the enemy will immediately come to take the seed.
Proverbs 11:25
Psalms 50:10-12
