Tithes and tithing is scriptural and we define tithe as “God’s tax on his children to extend his blessings to others.To give or not to give is not contestable, it is a thing of necessity. Tithe is liking to the five loaves of bread and two fishes that the boy gave to Jesus for others to eat. Therefore proper and biblical implementation, obedience to tithes rules will automatically end these attacks against the churches and his leaders. In this third step against the attackers, church leaders must act on:
PROPORTIONAL AND BIBLICAL SHARE OF TITHES
God don’t eat, therefore he will need nothing like tithe to survive or sustain himself, being a father who loves and knows all things he device a means of spreading his blessing to all people just as he did in the Garden of Eden when for rivers flows into the garden and wet the whole garden; I mean even all sides got wet by the reason of four sources. Therefore he commanded in Deuteronomy 26:12 “when thou hath made an end of Tithing all the tithes of the increase in the third year which is the year of Tithing and hast giving it unto the Levite, the strangers, the fatherless, and the Widows, that they may eat within thy gates and be full.
Also in Nhemiah13:5 “And he had prepared for him chamber, whereby aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, the vessel, and the tithes of the Corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offering of the priest. this is God’s command concerning tithes.
But today’s church leaders only emphasize on “bring your tithes” even attaching curses and threats, but the matter of tithes and tithing cannot end with bringing the tithes, it must proceed to other aspect of tithes and tithing, that God categorically mention those that tithes are meant for;
1. Levite: a man who made God his inheritance.
2. FATHERLESS: child who have no father to cater for him or her.
3. WIDOW: a woman who lost her husband.
4: STRANGERS: people who lives among you but not really part of you.
5. PORTERS: men or women keeping the house of God.
but the leaders of the churches ignore the words of God at the detriment of the fatherless and Widows livelihood. it is high time the church leaders share proportionally among this categories that God recommended ans see what will the attackers attack again. it is time to give proportionally to those that God commanded which are widows and the fatherless etc, to make Christianity attractive again.
