Tithes Are Not Just For The Church 5
I knew it!
Just based on the heart of God towards the stranger, widow and the fatherless, I knew that God could tell us or we elect to give our tithes to those who needed it that He would bless us.
Then my pastor gave this scripture to us yesterday:
Deuteronomy 26:12-13 (NKJV) “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year— the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them.
What does this mean to me?
I know that some people have a hard time giving to churches. Okay, whatever. You can still honour God and give ten percent back to what is already His in the first place by giving to those who God has such a special love for.
So like those day laborors on the street corner? Leviticus 19:33-34
So like all the kids who grew up without fathers? Psalm 10:14
So like the single moms whose boyfriend/husband who has left for the woman to do it all? Psalm 68:5
God never said your tithes had to be funneled through a church to help the needy.
You see a need? Let the Spirit stirs your heart. Ask Him, “What do You want me to deliver to those in need? I don’t give what is not mine. I just a carrier of the portions that God has blessed me with.”
Strangely enough, God is so good like that.
