TITHING - THE GATEWAY TO SUPERNATURAL BLESSINGS

THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO SUPERNATURAL BLESSINGS Genesis 14:20 (NKJV) And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all. Genesis 28:22 (NKJV) And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You. 2 Chronicles 31:5 (NKJV) As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; [10] So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Malachi 3:6-12 (NKJV) "For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. [7] Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," Says the LORD of hosts. "But you said, 'In what way shall we return?' [8] "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. [9] You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. [10] Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. [11] "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the LORD of hosts; [12] And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land," Says the LORD of hosts. JESUS VALIDATED TITHING! Matthew 23:23 (NKJV) "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Luke 11:42 (NKJV) "But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Luke 18:12 (NKJV) I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' Hebrews 7:5 (NKJV) And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; Hebrews 7:6 (NKJV) but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. Hebrews 7:8 (NKJV) Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. Hebrews 7:9 (NKJV) Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, GIVE SO THAT THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH Luke 6:38 (NKJV) Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." HOW TO GIVE THE TITHE? Deuteronomy 26:1-13 (NKJV) [1] "And it shall be, when you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, [2] that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the LORD your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the LORD your God chooses to make His name abide. [3] And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, 'I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.' [4] "Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God. [5] And you shall answer and say before the LORD your God: 'My father was a Syrian, about to perish, and he went down to Egypt and dwelt there, few in number; and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. [6] But the Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and laid hard bondage on us. [7] Then we cried out to the LORD God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression. [8] So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. [9] He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, "a land flowing with milk and honey"; [10] and now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which you, O LORD, have given me.' "Then you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God. [11] So you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given to you and your house, you and the Levite and the stranger who is among you. [12] "When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year-the year of tithing-and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, [13] then you shall say before the LORD your God: 'I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them.
