4. The Tithe exchange
The Lord will make things right for you.
Your tithe is a way of acknowledging God as your source. Your job is just one of the ways through which God can provide for you.
Tithe is 10% of your income. It is a way of activating God’s blessing.
Each time you bring your tithe you should expect an exchange as follows;
- God’s peace for your troubles
- Divine supply for lack
- Blessings for your store house.
- Protection for you and your family
Every believer should tithe. Tithing is before the Law.
The bible says Levite’s who collected tithes from people pay tithe in the loins of Abraham. Since believers are Abraham’s seed through Christ, it means we also paid tithe through Abraham and we should continue to do so
Let us study how Abraham paid tithe;
1.Abraham acknowledged that God is the only one that can bless and deliver him.
2. He paid tithe to a Melchisedek, a priest who is of the same order with Jesus.
3. Melchizedek brought bread and wine to refresh Abraham and blessed him with what he had. He is the king of Righteousness and Peace.
It can be said that when Abraham paid tithe Melchizedek blessed him with:
- Bread and wine to refresh him
- Righteousness (he made things right in Abraham’s life) and
- Blessed him with peace
Genesis 14:18-20 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
