Christian C by Rev. Marg West Tlthlng: Blessing or Curse? Are you a Christian who feels you cannot afford to tithe ta the church you attend? You just do flot bave enough money te give God the ten percent of your pay that He requires. If you are flot tithing your ten percent 10 your Church the blessmngs of God do NOT beiang 10 you. Titbing is very impo rtant 10 God, and aiso to you. If you feel that the Church you attend is grabbmng your money, and you give grudgigly God will ot biess your tithe. God wants us 10 give willingly and with a joyful heart. Do you? Your tithe belongs te the Church you attend. If you are visiting another Church on Sunday whaî you give iliere is an offering, often when a' Church has a guest (speaker, musicians etc.) they take a lone offering 10 help defray the costs of bringing the guesis 10 lihe church. In Maiaci2:1 God is telling the priests, "If you do flot listen, an if you do flot set your heart to honour My naine I "Il send a curse upon you, and I wiii curse your blessings. YesI have already cursed tem, because you bave not set your heart te honour me. When we bave asked Jesus into our lives we are ail priests unto Him. So don't go tbinking tiis verse was for te Priests back then oniy. AU of Goc's word is for our benefit. Your'biessings are heahi, finances, freedom from bondage, and many more, but if you don't tithe none of te blessing belong 10 you. If you are flot experiehcing the blessingi of God, are you tithing? God bas set down rifes (so ta say) i His Word for our benefit, but if we don't do tem we dont reap the benefits. When you work for General Motors they have good benefits, while you are working there you, enjoy those benefits. If you leave General Moters ta work somewhere cisc you no longer enjoy those benefits. When we tubhe we are entitled 10 ALL of Gods benefits. If we don't tithe we are flot entitled to them. -,. Malach starting in Verse 6 tells us orner returfi 10 Mm. lie will retura te us. But you asic "How are we 10 retura?" WHI a man rob God? Yet you rob Me. But you asic, "How do we rob you?' In tithes and offerings. And because of ibis God says thewhole nation is under a curse. Robbing God is not titbing. But if we do tithe, He says He, will open the flood gates of heaven and pour so much blessing out that we would flot have room for il. Which group-would you rather be i the ones who do flot tithe and are cursed of God or the, one who tithe and are continualiy being biessed by god, financially in health, reiationsbips and i ways we_ cannot comprehend. Goa wants you to be blessed. Try God sce if Hes flot a fatbful Ood. Comments or Questions, Box 179, Orono. Bible Study, Tuesday, 7:30 pin. 983-5962. Total Chistian Television, Obanel 49, Buffalo.
