The Offerings of the Lord – Keith Moore – Series 1102 - 04-Tithe-TheHolyPortion – recorded in 2005

The rebellious will dwell in a dry empty place

1 Peter 2: o We offer and offering

Just because we offer something doesn’t mean it is received o We have been made a holy priesthood

That is between you and the Lord – that he accepts all of his offerings o (the tithe was not accepted by God of Cain (me)

The whole book of Malachi is to address how cold they had gotten toward God, the things of God and his offerings

When you become full of the spirit the more free hearted you are will your giving

Mal 3:6 o I am the lord I change not

Does the 10th belong to the Lord – Yes or No

Gen 14:

Tithe is the acknowledge of the covenant with God that HE IS OUR SOURCE

People who refuse to tithe say that MY MONEY is my money and I am my own source

Tithing is before the law, during the law and after the law

Lev 27:30 o New Living – a 10th of the produce of the land belongs to the lord and be set apart is

holy to him o 20% if he keeps any of it o The 10th one is his

Hebrews 6:29 – After the order of Melchizedek which included tithing o Men that die receive tithe – here now o Melchizedek is a type of Jesus o 8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest,

who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

Luke 20:22 – o Render to Caesar and to God what is God’s

Don’t curse your taxes – just believe God that you are so blessed that you don’t even miss it

You should have a God Account – you put both Tithe and Offerings in there TIME 1:00

We are not the whole body of Christ – Time 1:04:50 There will be both tithe and offering o I expect you to sow to other ministries

I expect you to sow the tithe and offering to these different places were God tells you to do this

o Do you want us to bring all the tithe and offerings to the local church – I want you to be led

1 Corth 13:1 – Concerning the collection – let each one set aside at the beginning of each week, lay by them in store

o Let him do it not to pathetic appeal or as a after thought The Offerings of the Lord – Keith Moore – Series 1102 - 04-Tithe-TheHolyPortion 02 – recorded in 2005

The answer to bible questions is the bible

If we are to operate as a priesthood then we have to know what the priest do o A huge part of what they were doing was offerings

That you are not to Lord over people

Make sure it is about the Word and Not About the Money o 3 main things that cover everything

Walk in Love, Walk by Faith, Be Led

Where SHOULD THE TITHE GO o You should be Led

But if you are consistently giving less than 10% then I do not believe you are being led

o Mal 3:10 – Into the storehouse – Provision in My House o Lev 27: - All the tithe is the Lords

The Church – No The Lord – There are whole denominations have replaced the church with the Lord

o Numbers 18: Talking to Aaron his sons, Levites,

Charged with doing

Hauling, moving music equipment, setting up, taking it down, the manual things,

o Those to cleaned the flooring, vacuumed, swept a seat would be comparable to the Levites

I have giving these things to you

This was determined by the Anointing which qualifies them for it o No amount of school, electing you, only the anointing

I have given to the Levites to Inherit

You should Tithe the Tithe o Deut 14:

I am not going to tell you all the tithe comes to us! Scriptural reference for the tithe going to ministers You should eat in the place where he should choose

They got to eat the tithe in the place where they ate Levites were not just the preacher

God sees all the work of the same At the end of 3 years you are to bring the tithe up in your gates

Gods House

Levites –

Hardships o Stranger – Alien – One who is displaced or new and looking for

their place o Fatherless - o Widow – Because of not having a husband having hardships

The Offerings of the Lord – Keith Moore – Series 1102 - 04-Tithe-TheHolyPortion 02 Disc 2 – recorded in 2005

o Deut 26: Set the 1st fruits Bring the tithe in your gates

o Amos – To bring the tithe every 3rd year

Where do the go and when – WHATEVER HE SAYS

If you have to bring all the tithe to the church and then the board decides where it is supposed to go – then it is not them being led for themselves

The tithe is about meeting people needs o I HAVE BROUGHT THE HOLLOWED THINGS OUT OF MY HOUSE

I Corth 16: Now concerning the collection to the churches – upon the first of week, let every one of you let him lay it by himself as God has prospered him – as I come

They bring the tithe and offerings directing into the God o Currently 15%

If is setting there and setting there then you are not hearing from God o If over 3 years I do not believe that you are being led by God

You are to be led by yourself, not going to other people all the time. o Here to be an example not lord over you.

Nehemiah 10:, 12, 14

Nehemiah 10:37,39 o They were commanded to give the tithe to the porters, the door, the singers

Nehemiah 12:44 o Both the singers and the porters – they were full time o Porters were the Ushers received there portion every day

Nehemiah 13:5 o The tithe were commanded to brought to the Levites, and the porters and the singers

and offerings of the priest

It should never be about the money

What if all the people began to tithe – what would happen

All tithe has to go to us (Minster or Traveling Evangelist) – then it can sound self-serving o This gets rid of it being between you and the church and makes it between you and God

If you being led is doing nothing – YOUR ARE NOT BEING LED

At the end of the year you should look and see what percent you are able to give

2 Corth o In the days of Hezekiah, he commanded them to give there portion of the tithe, that the

Levites so that they might be encouraged in the law of the lord.

o They laid them in heeps of heeps, big chunks, piles The heeps are so big they had foundations and then it took 7 months to make it

o If you are tithing then they will see you and start mimicking how you do it o Everything produces after its own kind

The Blessing Connection – Kenneth Copeland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6gWdJA48K4

The tree was the lords, this is the same phrasing that was used in Malachi on the discussion of what the lord says about the tithe.

Adams knowledge was coming from the blessing

He ate his tithe – he stole it.

That fruit belonged to God.

He knew about it and that is how he thought his 2 children about it.

The first murder was over the tithe

The tithe was brought to the King/Priest – A specific person

Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. Abram and Melchizedek 18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

First Melchizedek brought covenant items to Abram.

The reason why this would mean so much to Abram is because God had made a covenant with him before he had obtained all of this wealth.

Then before Abram gave him any tithe Melchizedek, was known as a High Priest of the Most high God but First He Blessed him.

Tithing Puts You On The Increase – Kenneth Copeland & Jesse Duplantis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV-ULr2YRw8

Tithing is the umbilical cord to the kingdom of God, blessing, to heaven

Debt is the umbilical cord to the Babylonian system

Jesse gave 8k to a Pastor that was believing god – tithe is about obedience because of honor o This was not his church, it was one that he went to that day o He did it were he believed he was supposed to

2013 SWBC: Tithing and Grace - Thurs. pm – Jerry Savelle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxKxUVcCGDg

Abram practiced the tithe before the Law

We go after it with a different attitude

Tithing is not a debt I owe but a seed I sow – Oral Roberts & Jerry Savelle

I do this as act of Love

This is a response to God because he has been so good to us

Who is our high priest now – Jesus o Hebrews 8:

o The priest are to offer both gifts and sacrifices and it is no different than the priesthood of Jesus

Jesus did not go to the cross as the high priest but as the lamb of God Our High Priest - Jesus now offers are tithes and offering to the Father In chapter 7 is after the order of Melchizedek which was before the law

I Corth 16:1-2 o 2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he

may prosper, that there be no collections when I come o Now concerning the collection of the offering for the saints o As the first day of the week, let him lay an offering aside when I come

II Corth 16-10-15

o 10 And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you

began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11

but now you also must complete the

doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a

completion out of what you have. 12

For if there is first a willing mind, it is

accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have. 13

For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; 14

but by an

equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their

abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality. 15

As it is

written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little

had no lack.”

Consistent giving and tithing is expected in the New Testament. We do it out of a respect and honor to God.

Let us do good to all men, but especially those of the household of faith.

Be mindful to be a blessing.

The blessing is the empowerment to prosper, but favor provides the opportunity to make it happen.

Let each man as he purposes in his own heart – to give.

Malachi 3-

God wants to give his people ideas, insites, concepts and opportunities o It is all linked to their consistant, faithful, regular, titheing, sowing and blessing PEOPLE

Kenneth Copeland - 1 of 4 - Tithing the Tithe Pt.1 (1-27-86)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IxePfH86iI He was talking to both those giving and to those that have received the tithe All the silver and the gold belong to God – and are referenced as the Glory The tithe the first 10 belongs to God – which now belongs to Jesus – which means it belongs to

the body of Christ – through Jesus If it was ever Gods, it is still Gods. If it belonged to God, Now it belongs to Jesus. Instead of Melchizedek blessing Abram, it is now that Jesus is blessing us It is a ordinance forever He said he knows sinners that tithes and it works for them that don’t know Jesus is lord – Jesus is NOW the High Priest of these days The way that you activated the covenant was giving, the giving was the act of entering the

covenant

end of every 3rd year they brought it to the synagogue to Jerusalem But they tithed locally the other 2 years When the attitude of Paul, that it may abound toward your account and this becomes the

reason for the tithe, it will lift the curse off your church

Kenneth Copeland - 2 of 4 - The Law of Increase - Tithing Your Foundation Pt.2 (1985) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzJf81LyGE

The tithe is Jesus, that he receives the tithe Tithing by Love, By Faith and By Righteousness You have to tithe by Faith Abraham Tithed Righteously, not selfishly Lev – All the tithe is the Lords and if the tithe is stolen he wants 20% interest Who Gets the Tithe -----

to them for the Levites and the singer had fled to everyone to their field According to this anyone that does the work That Jesus is the head and the one that is directing it

o TIME 33:45 THE TITHE GOES TO THE MINISTRY ITSELF The question is of spiritual or physical meat?

o I believe the tithe opens the spiritual side of the tithe The tithe was brought to 2 different places of the time The body of Christ for the most part is out of ORDER

o The new order of churches is that only the Pastor/Teacher receives the tithe and this is not scriptural – The church has marked off all other ministries

o It says bring it in so that there is meat in his house o The offering tonight is going to go to –

o TIME 41:30 – IF JESUS IS DIRECTING THAT ALL YOUR TITHE GOES TO A SPECIFIC PLACE THEN THAT IS WERE YOU PUT IT - SPEND THE TIME BEFORE GOD TO FIND OUT WERE THE TITHE IS SUPPOSED TO GO

o TIME 42:40 – DON’T LET A PREACHER OR ANYONE ONE ELSE LEAD YOU WERE TO BE GIVING

o Take your tithe into the church that you believe that you are supposed to be into then be led

The church of Antioch sent out Paul and would not back him – this is wrong

1. The first tithe (Gen. 14:19–20)

And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

2. Jacob offers a tithe (Gen. 28:20–22)

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”

What Moses said about tithing

3.)The tithe is introduced as law (Lev. 27:30–34)

Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”

4.) Tithes established for the Levites (Num. 18:21)

To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting

The Levites served a special function in Israel; they ministered before God as Israel’s priests. At God’s command, the Levites didn’t share in the other tribes’ inheritance. The Lord was their portion and inheritance (v. 21).

5.) The Levite’s tithe (Num. 18:26)

Moreover, you shall speak and say to the Levites, ‘When you take from the people of Israel the tithe that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution from it to the Lord, a tithe of the tithe.

6.) Offerings and tithes (Deut. 12:5–6)

But you shall seek the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there. There you shall go, and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock.

7.) Tithing for festivals (Deut. 14:22)

“You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.”

8.) Tithing for orphans, widows, and sojourners (Deut. 14:28–29)

At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

How Israelites tithed

9.) Bringing in the tithe (2 Chron. 31:4–5)

And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the Law of the Lord. As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field. And they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

10.) Nehemiah reestablishes the tithe (Neh. 10:35–37)

We obligate ourselves to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the Lord; also to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God, the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks; and to bring the first of our dough, and our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine and the oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring to the Levites the tithes from our ground, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our towns where we labor.

11.) The Principles of plenty (Prov. 3:9–10)

Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

12.) The Lord requires more than regular tithes (Amos 4:4–5)

“Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days; offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings, publish them; for so you love to do, O people of Israel!” declares the Lord God.

13.) The robbing of God (Mal. 3:8–9)

Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.

14.) Testing God in the tithe (Mal. 3:10–12)

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

What Jesus said about tithing

15.) Giving in secret (Matt. 6:1–4)

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

16.) Don’t neglect the weightier issues (Matt. 23:23)

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

17.) The faithful giver (Mark 12:41–44)

And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

18.) Tithing and justice (Luke 11:42)

“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others”

19.) Tithing and pride (Luke 18:9–14)

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

20.) Tithing to Melchizedek (Heb. 7:1–2)

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.
