Malachi
3:8-15 = Tells us Gods word concerning tithes and
offerings. The following is what is written and still applies
to us today.
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (In
other words they robbed God by not giving him tithes and offerings)
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole
nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, I will
not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke
the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of
your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
the field, saith the Lord of hosts. (In other words Gods will take care
of you)
And all nations
shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the
Lord of hosts.
Your words have been
stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we
spoken so much against thee?
Ye have said, it is
vain (emptiness) to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept
his ordinance, (Laws) and that we have walked mournfully
before the Lord of hosts?
And now we call the
proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that
tempt God are even delivered.
Then they that
feared (Revered, loved) the Lord spake (Spoke) often one to one
another: and the Lord hearkened, (Listened) and heard it, and a book of
remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and
that thought upon his name. (In other words God knows those people that
put him first in their life by doing his will)
And they shall be
mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels;
and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Then shall ye
return, and discern (Know the difference) between the righteous and the
wicked between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
(Doesn't serve him) Then shall ye return. (They
will return when Jesus Christ returns)
It is between you
and God what you give in your tithes and love offerings to the Church.
