TOPIC: WHY TITHE PAYMENT IS STILL APPLICABLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
TEXT: Hebrews 7:1-10
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Not every Old Testament practice came by the law of Moses hence they cannot be abolished with the law of Moses. Prayer, love, kindness, righteous deeds, tithe payment, restitution etc. all existed before Moses and would continue as long as the world exists. The only thing in the Old Testament that probably did not continue was sacrifice to God with burnt animals and this is because the Lord has provided Himself as a lamb for the burnt sacrifices; so all sacrifices finished in Him. All the animals they were burning were inferior but through Christ, the supreme sacrifice had been offered for mankind once-and-for-all, so nobody needed to sacrifice again. The acts of righteousness which had been done in the Old Testament continued after the law. It is only those additives that came up during the law as commandments that ended with Christ and never continued again. They all ended with the abolishment of the law because they came with the law.

Some of such additives were on tithe payments, such as giving tithe to the poor and less privileged.  Before the law, tithe belonged solely to God, “The tenth part of that which I earn I will give to You.” It is God’s own portion and not to be given to human beings. Subsequently, the law also added another tithe for you to buy things and eat in Jerusalem during annual sacrifices. If you study it very well, you will understand that they are different from the main tithe. They are additional commandments and these additional commandments ended with the law for Christ is the end of the law to everyone that believes. But the practice of payment of tithes continues up to this day because we have a High Priest who is after the order of Melchizedek; and where there is a priest, there must be the payment of tithe. When Melchizedek was discovered by Abraham, what did he do? He paid tithe to him. During the law, the Lord raised up a tribe of Levi where the priest could be found to receive tithes. In our days somebody has taken over the priesthood. He is our High Priest, Jesus Christ, to whom we must pay tithe. So the payment of tithe unto the Lord is as applicable today as it was in time past.  If not done, you are cursed with a curse as a thief because you are dishonoring the High Priesthood of Jesus.

Thought for the day:   Tithing is not an option. It is an irrevocable commandment.
Song for the day:  Give me the grace to follow
Bible reading for the day:
Ecclesiastes 4-6; 2 Corinthians 10

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
