Malachi 3:6-7
“I the Lord do not change. So you, O
descendents of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I
will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
Malachi 3:8-9 “But you ask,
‘How are we to return?’ “Will a man rob God?
Yet you rob me. But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’ “In tithes and offerings.
You are under a curse – the whole nation of you – because you are
robbing me.
Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe
into the storehouse, that there may be food
in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not
throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that
you will not have room enough for it.”
Malachi 3:11-12 “I will prevent pests
from devouring your crops, and the vines
in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the
nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Deuteronomy 14:22-23
“Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your
fields produce each year... so that you may learn to revere
the Lord your God always.”
Malachi 3:8
“Will a man rob God?
Yet you rob me. But you ask,
‘How do we rob you?’ “In tithes and offerings.”
Deuteronomy 16:10 “Then celebrate…
by giving a freewill offering in
proportion to the blessings the Lord your God
has given you.”
I Corinthians 16:2
“On the first day of every week,
each one of you should set a sum of money in
keeping with his income…”
“Let’s take all the money we get today at our wedding and give it to our friend so she can get to the mission
field. Let’s partner with God!”
“I have never felt greater
joy than to open my hand to
God and give to someone else for His
purposes.”
