Redemptive Plan Of God In Tithing



               sense that if you are fed spiritually in a given ministry, then you
               have an obligation to pay your tithe in that ministry.

               Consequences of not Tithing?

               a)  When you don’t tithe, spiritually you don’t have any harvest

               In Hosea 8:7 [nIV], the Bible says,


                  “They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no
                  head; it will produce no flour.

                  Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.”


               This scripture says because you have sown nothing, you will reap
               nothing.

               If you don’t release your tithe, you
               have sown into the whirlwind.            Your storehouse
                                                        is where you are
               Even if you get a harvest, foreigners    spiritually fed. If
                                                      you belong to a local
               will swallow it up.  Foreigners are

               devourers, situations or unplanned
                                                       are spiritually fed
               for demands that cause you to lose       then that is your
               money every time you seem to have           storehouse.

               b)  Non-tithers do not attract the
                  blessing of God upon their lives.

               The Bible says in Malachi 3:10 [nIV],
