QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON TITHE PAYMENT

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON TITHE PAYMENT

TEXT: GENESIS 14:18-20 

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 25TH

Key verse: Genesis 14: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.  And he gave him tithes of all.
Question: Some denominations don’t believe in tithe payment. I want to be cleared, Sir. Another thing is that some people pay tithe personally to the minister, is it right?
Answer: Abraham paid tithe to Melchizedek, the priest of the Most High God. We do not have the details of Melchizedek but Abraham would have known him and would have been convinced about him. Abraham would have been well directed to do what he did knowing that it is to God as a priest, as a minister of God representing God. It means, as the Lord leads you to give tithe to a minister of God, you know the minister; his life and work, that it is in truth and righteousness. You can do that because the Lord has led you to the right place. 
That is to say, the tithe that you want to give to the minister of God, that person should be a true servant of the God of heaven. Yes, but you may say he is not a pastor over a church. The Bible says, the human body has different members. We have the eyes, nose, ears, hands, and other internal members that are not seen. They work together to form the whole body. In the same way, the ministers in the body of Christ do not carry out the same function. There are some that are pastors who gather congregations to pastor them. Some are evangelists and do not have congregations. 
Some have prayer ministry, children ministry, and different kinds of ministries that may not have a building gathering people but they are true ministers of God, all working together to produce salvation for mankind. Although the man is not over a church, he is doing great work for God. That man also needs money and he asks of God. The tithe money in your hand as tithe, is God’s money. That man has told God that he is trying to organize a prayer conference. We need money to eat, we need transport money, God, give me money. God can tell you to send His money in your hand to support them.

Thought for the day: Pay your tithes regularly and faithfully

Song for the day: We bring sacrifice of praise, into the house of the Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 14-16; 1 Timothy 5

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...

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
