“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!” Malachi 3:10
While this great Promise was given under the Law, still, tithing predates the Law by several hundreds of years. The first mention of tithing in the Bible is when Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:20). Some claim that while God blessed lsrael economically, at least when they did somewhat right, He will not do such to the Church, our blessings only being spiritual! Nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, whatever the Lord did for Israel of old, He will surely do for His People presently, and even greater. How could He do less now under a greater and better Covenant than He did for Israel with an inferior Covenant?
If any Believer will faithfully believe the Lord, will ask Him to meet his every need, irrespective if that need is financial, physical, domestic, or spiritual, to be sure, the Lord will answer that prayer. As stated we now have a better Covenant, based on better Promises (Hebrews 8:6) "We have not because we ask not"
And then, all too often our motives aren’t right. If that is the case, God cannot honour any request. “You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lust” (James 4:2-3
If under the Old Covenant, the Lord said that He would “open the windows of Heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there would not be room enough to receive it,” He definitely will do the same identical thing now for those who will believe Him.
LET’S PRAY.
Today, The transforming power of God’s grace in tithing will lift you to your higher place with ease. I decree and declare, Your mountain of struggle will disappear, the roadblock mounted to obstruct the flow of your life will also vanish in the name of Jesus Christ. The Lord will keep your mind at rest and lead you to the rock that is higher than you. You will find peace in His abiding shelter. You will sing the grace melody with boldness and joy in your heart for honouring the Lord with your tithes. God’s matchless Grace will divinely keep and separate you totally from the wickedness planted to derail the course of your life. God will shield and protect you like Abraham. This morning, the Saving Grace of God will deliver you from every trouble. He will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. I prophesy you will not be discouraged, disappointed or frustrated in the name of Jesus Christ! The Efficacious Grace of God will make things work out and work things out for you in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Amen Amen. Fountain to your life.
