TITHE AND OFFERINGS

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

TOPIC: TITHE AND OFFERINGS

SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH

TEXT: MALACHI 3: 8-12 

Key verse: Malachi 3: 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 
Tithe is one tenth of all your earnings and this is to be given to God in appreciation of His kindness and blessings upon you. It is God's demand over all men on earth, just as the Government demands tax from its citizens. Tithe is expected from salaries, wages, dividends, interests, farm produce and all earned income. Note that tithes are not paid over gifts. What you give to God from gifts received is offering. If anybody chooses to pay tithes of gifts received, he is free, for some give God more than one tenth of their earnings as their personal commitment. 
Offerings are what you bring to God in your freewill to promote His worship and service among men. The percentage is not defined as in tithes you determine by yourself how much to bring as offering, in the case of your earned income. Some erroneously believe and teach that payment of tithes does not apply to New Testament believers. Let such know that one of the functions of God's priests is to collect tithes from the people of God. Melchizedek collected tithes from Abraham because he was the priest of God. 
The Lord Jesus today is a priest after the order of Melchidezek and collects tithes from us believers who are children of Abraham. Tithe payment did not start with the commandment of Moses but had been in practice before it, and so was not abolished with the law in Christ. It was the addition to this practice that were enacted during the law of Moses that were abolished in Christ. Believers today continue to pay tithes to God through Christ our High Priest. Not to do so is to sin and incur the wrath of God. 

Thought for the day: Tithe is one tenth of all your earnings and it should be given to God in appreciation of His kindness and blessings upon you. 

Song for the day: Give, it shall be given unto you…

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 39-40; Philippians 4

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
