BRING YE ALL! Click and read.

 


Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. (Malachi 3:10)

The verse starts with an instruction from the Lord himself. IT instructs that we bring in the tithes into the storehouse. There is a store house that the Lord has set aside. Let me ask you which storehouse would you prefer to store your presentations in? I am sure the answer is rather obvious. The storehouse of God is secure and has no room for losses. Every content of His storehouse is accounted for and if he wants to reward the givers He can effectively and easily access His records for due rewards.
The obvious reason for God’s demand for the tithes to be brought in is plainly stated. “That there may be meat in my house.” The tithes we bring into our Father’s house ensure that there is meat in the house. It is not physical meat for we know that God does not eat meat but inhabits praise. The instruction of the Almighty is very clear and one of the best ways to ensure His blessing is simply by obeying Him completely. He is all knowing so we need not question His judgment.
“And prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts.” The choice of words in the King James Version of the bible always excites me. Pause awhile a think about it. God Almighty says that the premise on which you are allowed to prove Him the Lord of Host is based on the fact that we pay tithe. It is amazing that the Lord will tell a mere mortal to prove Him now herewith. Friends He is the Lord of hosts. Why on earth would I doubt Him to the point of wanting to prove His awesomeness? But it is clearly an indication that of how seriously God takes the issue.
And prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” The Lord says obey my instruction and see the pleasant surprises I have in store for you my children. God is a good God. Clearly He gives an idea of the nature of the blessing that will be released. It is one that the room will be too small to contain the blessing He has for you and I.
We all know Genesis 8:22 sys that as long as the earth remains seedtime and harvest shall never cease. What you sow is what you reap. If you are not sowing anything then stop expecting a bountiful harvest. Out of every ten parts the Lord gives he requires that you return one tenth back to Him. The one part given to God is your compulsory seed that guarantees continuous harvest. It is not the size of the seed that ensures harvest rather is it is the obedience and compliance with the principle of sowing and reaping. It is God that gives bread to the eater and also seed to the sower. Please do not eat your seed. Bless you!
