Tithes and Offerings

 Malachi 3 (KJV)

⁸ WILL A MAN ROB GOD? 

Yet ye have robbed Me. 

But ye say, Wherein have we robbed Thee? 

IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS.

⁹ YE ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE: 

FOR YE HAVE ROBBED ME...

Some think tithing is a man made mandate 

BUT GOD SAID a person is robbing HIM

(not the Church, not the pastor)

when they do not pay tithes and offerings.

God went further to say 

a person who does not pay HIM 

their Tithes and Offerings

is cursed with a curse. 

If you say you are a Christian yet are not giving your tithes and offerings,  you're robbing God and bringing a curse upon yourself. 

Some will say, "I can't afford to." 

Truth is, you can't afford NOT to.

Even if you're not currently attending a Church somewhere (which you need to be - that's Scriptural as well). 

If you obey God and do as He instructs, He has given this assurance...

Malachi 3 (KJV)

¹⁰ 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, 

if 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.

¹¹ 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.

¹² And all nations shall call you blessed: 

for ye shall be a delightsome land, 

saith the LORD of hosts.

It's God's Word, not man's.
