*7 REASONS WHY EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD PAY THEIR TITHES — PART 7a*

*Introduction*

Some weeks ago, we considered the first reason out of the 7 reasons why every believer should pay their tithes.

The following week, we looked at the second reason.

Then, we dwelt on the third reason.

Later on, we dealt with the fourth reason.

After that, we looked at the first part of the fifth reason.

Next, we continued with the second segment of the fifth reason.

Later, we completed the fifth reason with its third segment.

Subsequently, we looked at the sixth reason.

Now, God willing, we want to deal with the seventh reason.

That first reason mentioned was — *REASON 1: TITHES STARTED BEFORE THE LAW; WERE EFFECTIVE AND REINFORCED UNDER THE LAW; AND CONTINUES AFTER THE LAW – UNDER GRACE*

The second reason was — *REASON 2: TITHES BELONG TO GOD.*

The third reason was — *REASON 3: REFUSING TO PAY YOUR FULL TITHES & OFFERINGS TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH MEANS YOU ARE A THIEF STEALING GOD'S MONEY/RESOURCES*

The fourth reason was —
*REASON 4. ALL THIEVES, INCLUDING THOSE REFUSING TO PAY TITHES AND OFFERINGS & THOSE PASTORS OR CHURCH LEADERS WHO ARE SITTING ON EVERYTHING WRONGLY AS THEIR OWN WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN*

The fifth reason was — *REASON 5: THERE ARE GENUINE WITNESSES ESTABLISHING THE TRUTH*

The sixth reason was —*REASON 6: THERE ARE PIECES OF EVIDENCE FROM "HEAVEN AND HELL TESTIMONIES" THAT NON-PAYMENT OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS HAS ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES*

Now, the seventh reason is: *REASON 7: IT'S A MEANS OF LAYING UP TREASURE IN HEAVEN FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE TIME TO COME AS WELL AS A MEANS OF HELPING OTHERS AND YOURSELF*

Generally, giving your tithes and offerings achieves three things for you, namely:

*(A) LAYING UP TREASURE FOR YOURSELF IN HEAVEN*

*(B) HELPING OTHERS ON EARTH*

*(C) HELPING YOURSELF ON EARTH*

Let's consider them one by one.

*(A) LAYING UP TREASURE FOR YOURSELF IN HEAVEN*

Giving our tithes and offerings is a means of laying up treasures for ourselves in heaven against the time to come.

With such understanding from Scripture, I taught them in the Church that whenever we want to give our tithes and offerings, we should confess that we are using them to lay up treasures (for ourselves) in heaven (good foundation) against the time to come.

Very importantly, there are different types of offerings: ranging from general offering to first fruit offering to kingdom project offering to welfare offering to specialized offering (seed of faith, or offering one is directed personally by the Lord to give for a purpose not mentioned above), and so on.

As a matter of caution, all types of offerings must be free will for nobody should be forced or pressurized to give for any reason.

2 Corinthians 9:7 RSV
*Each one must do as he has made up his mind, NOT RELUCTANTLY or UNDER COMPULSION, for God loves a cheerful giver.*

2 Corinthians 9:7 BBE
*Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; NOT GIVING WITH GRIEF, OR BY FORCE: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.*

2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT
*You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. DON'T GIVE RELUCTANTLY OR IN RESPONSE TO PRESSURE. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully.*

2 Corinthians 9:7 GodsWord
*Each of you should give whatever you have decided. YOU SHOULDN'T BE SORRY THAT YOU GAVE OR FEEL FORCED TO GIVE, since God loves a cheerful giver.*

2 Corinthians 9:7 AMP
*Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, NOT RELUCTANTLY OR SORROWFULLY OR UNDER COMPULSION, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "PROMPT TO DO IT") giver [whose heart is in his giving]. [Prov. 22:9.]*

This principle agrees with what God had told Moses several years before Paul came on the scene.

God told Moses in:

Exodus 25:2 AMPC
*Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who GIVES IT WILLINGLY AND UNGRUDGINGLY WITH HIS HEART you shall take My offering.*

Exodus 25:2 ESV
Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man *WHOSE HEART MOVES HIM YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE CONTRIBUTION FOR ME.*

Exodus 25:2 GodsWord
"Tell the Israelites to choose something to give me as a special contribution. You must accept *WHATEVER CONTRIBUTION EACH PERSON FREELY GIVES.*

Exodus 25:2 NIV
*"Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone WHOSE HEART PROMPTS THEM TO GIVE.*

Exodus 25:2 KJV
*Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that GIVETH IT WILLINGLY WITH HIS HEART ye shall take my offering.*

Now, we are going to see from the Scripture how our giving on earth translates to eternal treasures in heaven.

That reminds me of Jesus' statement below:

Luke 16:9 GodsWord
*Jesus continued, "I'm telling you that although WEALTH is often used in dishonest ways, you should use it to make friends for yourselves. When life is over, you will be welcomed into an ETERNAL HOME.*

Luke 16:9 NLT
*I tell you, use your WORLDLY RESOURCES to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up A REWARD FOR YOU IN HEAVEN.*

Luke 16:9 NIV
*I tell you, use WORLDLY WEALTH to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into ETERNAL DWELLINGS.*

Certainly, our attitude towards financial and material possessions on earth affects us in eternity.

Yes, financial and material possessions end on earth, but, their spiritual impact, right or wrong, is forever!

1 Timothy 6:7 KJV
*For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.*

Now, let's see what Jesus and Paul taught on laying up treasure in heaven.

*JESUS*

*ARE YOU LAYING UP TREASURES FOR YOURSELF IN HEAVEN OR ON EARTH?*

Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
*Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES UPON EARTH, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your TREASURE is, there will your heart be also.*

From this Scripture above, we can see or deduce the following:

(i) You can lay up treasures for yourself either *on earth or in heaven*

(ii) You can lay up treasures *on earth* for yourself or for others, especially your wife, children, siblings, friends, and so on.

(iii) But, you can only lay up treasures *in heaven* for yourself while on earth; you can never lay up treasures *in heaven* for another person no matter how dear the person is to you!

(iv) Jesus commanded that we must not lay up treasures for ourselves *on earth,* but *in heaven*

(v) Laying up treasures for yourself *on earth* refers to heaping up resources greedily and selfishly for yourself to impress and/or oppress others

(vi) Laying up treasures for yourself *in heaven* refers to giving out your resources to benefit others and doing good works (as led)

(vii) Moth does not devour or eat up the treasures *in heaven*

(viii) Rust does not corrupt the treasures *in heaven*

(ix) Thieves neither break through nor steal the treasures *in heaven*

(x) If your treasures are *in heaven,* your heart will be set *on heaven;* but if your treasures are *on earth,* then your heart will be set *on earth*

Colossians 3:1-2 AMPC
*1 IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], AIM AT AND SEEK THE [RICH, ETERNAL TREASURES] THAT ARE ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST IS, SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. [Ps. 110:1.] 2 And SET YOUR MINDS AND KEEP THEM SET ON WHAT IS ABOVE (THE HIGHER THINGS), NOT ON THE THINGS THAT ARE ON THE EARTH.*

*HOW TO LAY UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN*

Luke 12:32-34 KJV
*Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [33] SELL THAT YE HAVE, AND GIVE ALMS; PROVIDE YOURSELVES BAGS WHICH WAX NOT OLD, A TREASURE IN THE HEAVENS THAT FAILETH NOT, WHERE NO THIEF APPROACHETH, NEITHER MOTH CORRUPTETH. [34] FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO.*

Luke 12:33 AMPC
*SELL WHAT YOU POSSESS and GIVE DONATIONS TO THE POOR; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible TREASURE IN THE HEAVENS, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.*

Selling your possessions and giving alms to the poor provide you unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens — never-growing-old purses and handbags in heaven — fat heavenly bank account.

It's inaccessible by thieves and indestructible by moths.

The expression: *"purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens"* reminds me of what Paul wrote or said in Philippians 4:15-19 NIV:

*15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of GIVING AND RECEIVING, except you only; 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your ACCOUNT.18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.*

I want to believe that the word *"account"* in verse 17 above refers to heavenly profit (a heavenly bank account) or both heavenly and earthly profits.

So, one of the ways to lay up treasures in heaven for ourselves is to give alms to the poor, which sometimes may require selling our possessions as the need may arise and as led by God for as many as are led by God's Spirit are God's sons (Romans 8:14).

In the Scripture above, Jesus didn't tell His disciples to sell all their possessions, rather, He was asking them to sell some of their possessions.

The early Church followed this teaching as seen below:

Acts 2:44-45 GNT
*44 All the believers continued together in close fellowship and SHARED THEIR BELONGINGS WITH ONE ANOTHER. 45 THEY WOULD SELL THEIR PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS, and DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY AMONG ALL, ACCORDING TO WHAT EACH ONE NEEDED.*

Acts 4:34-37 AMPC
*34 NOR WAS THERE A DESTITUTE OR NEEDY PERSON AMONG THEM, FOR AS MANY AS WERE OWNERS OF LANDS OR HOUSES PROCEEDED TO SELL THEM, AND ONE BY ONE THEY BROUGHT (GAVE BACK) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM THE SALES 35 AND LAID IT AT THE FEET OF THE APOSTLES (SPECIAL MESSENGERS). THEN DISTRIBUTION WAS MADE ACCORDING AS ANYONE HAD NEED. 36 Now JOSEPH, a Levite and native of Cyprus who was surnamed BARNABAS by the apostles, which interpreted means Son of Encouragement, 37 SOLD A FIELD WHICH BELONGED TO HIM AND BROUGHT THE SUM OF MONEY AND LAID IT AT THE FEET OF THE APOSTLES.*

For instance, Barnabas didn't sell all his possessions.

Rather, according to this Scripture above, he *"SOLD A FIELD WHICH BELONGED TO HIM"* (Acts 4:37, AMPC).

However, Jesus told the rich ruler who trusted in his riches to sell off all his possessions and to give the money to the poor so that he could have treasures in heaven, and then to become His follower or disciple.

Luke 18:22 KJV
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: *SELL ALL THAT THOU HAST, AND DISTRIBUTE UNTO THE POOR, AND THOU SHALT HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN: AND COME, FOLLOW ME.*

Luke 18:22 AMPC
And when Jesus heard it, He said to him, One thing you still lack. *SELL EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE AND DIVIDE [THE MONEY] AMONG THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE [RICH] TREASURE IN HEAVEN; AND COME BACK [AND] FOLLOW ME [BECOME MY DISCIPLE, JOIN MY PARTY, AND ACCOMPANY ME].*

You see, that man's heart was on money. He trusted in and worshipped money. It was his god. It had chained his heart to this world.

And his deliverance would only come by letting go of that money or wealth that had taken the place of God in his weak heart.

He was probably a stingy, selfish or greedy person.

He was busy laying up treasures on earth at the expense of his soul. Money had captured his poor heart.

But, after Jesus had told that rich ruler to sell off all his possessions and give to the poor, he became very sorrowful because he was very rich and worshipped his riches instead of God.

Luke 18:23 KJV
*And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.*

You see, people who lay up treasures for themselves on earth and set their minds on earthly things become sorrowful when they need to convert those things to heavenly treasures because their minds are still set on earthly things unrepentantly.

Let's see part of this particular story according to Mark below:

Mark 10:21-27 AMPC
*21 And Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and He said to him, You lack one thing; go and sell all you have and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come [and] accompany Me [walking the same road that I walk]. 22 AT THAT SAYING THE MAN'S COUNTENANCE FELL AND WAS GLOOMY, AND HE WENT AWAY GRIEVED AND SORROWING, FOR HE WAS HOLDING GREAT POSSESSIONS. 23 And Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, WITH WHAT DIFFICULTY WILL THOSE WHO POSSESS WEALTH AND KEEP ON HOLDING IT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD! 24 And the disciples were amazed and bewildered and perplexed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, CHILDREN, HOW HARD IT IS FOR THOSE WHO TRUST (PLACE THEIR CONFIDENCE, THEIR SENSE OF SAFETY) IN RICHES TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. 26 And they were shocked and exceedingly astonished, and said to Him and to one another, Then who can be saved? 27 Jesus glanced around at them and said, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.*

In other words, Jesus was saying that this particular man not only possessed wealth, but also was possessed by wealth!

It's good, safe and sinless to have money in a godly way, but it's bad, dangerous and sinful to let money have you!

Friend, let's be extremely careful with money because in a sense, money is a "spirit."

A money-minded person can never make heaven.

But, a wealthy Christian who trusts in God, making his wealth in a godly way and submitting his wealth to God won't be hindered by his wealth from making heaven.

1 Timothy 6:10 BBE
*FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A ROOT OF ALL EVIL: AND SOME WHOSE HEARTS WERE FIXED ON IT HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY FROM THE FAITH, AND BEEN WOUNDED WITH UNNUMBERED SORROWS.*

Money is not a root of all evil; but the love of money is a root of all evil according to this verse above.

Personally, I have fought the love of money off my life and ministry at different points in time.

And I can tell from experience that Deuteronomy 8 and 1 Timothy 6 are part of the Scriptures that can help us fight this deadly monster off our lives and ministries.

Shockingly, sadly and regretfully, the love of money will chain some believers down at the rapture and hinder them from making it!

Remember Lot's wife.

Again, a fool lays up treasures on earth for himself, and he neither has a rich relationship and fellowship with God nor is he rich in good works.

Luke 12:16-21 KJV
*And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? *[21] SO IS HE THAT LAYETH UP TREASURE FOR HIMSELF, AND IS NOT RICH TOWARD GOD.*

*PAUL*

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NIV
*17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 IN THIS WAY THEY WILL LAY UP TREASURE FOR THEMSELVES AS A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR THE COMING AGE, SO THAT THEY MAY TAKE HOLD OF THE LIFE THAT IS TRULY LIFE.*

1 Timothy 6:18-19 KJV
*That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; [19] LAYING UP IN STORE FOR THEMSELVES A GOOD FOUNDATION AGAINST THE TIME TO COME, THAT THEY MAY LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE.*

In essence, Paul was saying that BEING RICH IN GOOD WORKS as well as giving WILLINGLY (from the heart, not reluctantly) and GENEROUSLY (big-heartedly, bountifully, open-handedly or charitably) will help us to lay up TREASURE for ourselves as a firm FOUNDATION for THE COMING AGE, so that we may take hold of ETERNAL LIFE.

That was a message he gave Timothy to give the rich. But, it also pertains to the poor and the middle class (in between) who had to give at their own level because it's not the amount, but the measure that matters to God.

Consider carefully Jesus' experience below:

*41 And He sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury. MANY RICH [PEOPLE] WERE THROWING IN LARGE SUMS. 42 AND A WIDOW WHO WAS POVERTY-STRICKEN CAME AND PUT IN TWO COPPER MITES [THE SMALLEST OF COINS], WHICH TOGETHER MAKE HALF OF A CENT. 43 And He called His disciples [to Him] and said to them, TRULY AND SURELY I TELL YOU, THIS WIDOW, [SHE WHO IS] POVERTY-STRICKEN, HAS PUT IN MORE THAN ALL THOSE CONTRIBUTING TO THE TREASURY. 44 FOR THEY ALL THREW IN OUT OF THEIR ABUNDANCE; BUT SHE, OUT OF HER DEEP POVERTY, HAS PUT IN EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAD–[EVEN] ALL SHE HAD ON WHICH TO LIVE* (Mark 12:41-44 AMPC).

So, we can conclude that giving generally, either tithes or offerings will help us to lay up treasures in heaven for ourselves against the time to come, laying hold on eternal life.

*(B) HELPING OTHERS*

Deuteronomy 10:18-19 KJV
*He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. [19] Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.*

This Scripture above shows that God wants to help the fatherless, widows and strangers.

And in the Scriptures below, we see clearly that tithes were to help the Levite, the fatherless, widows and strangers.

Deuteronomy 14:28-29 KJV
*At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the TITHE of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: [29] And THE LEVITE, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and THE STRANGER, and THE FATHERLESS, and THE WIDOW, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.*

Deuteronomy 26:12-13 KJV
*When thou hast made an end of TITHING all the TITHES of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto THE LEVITE, THE STRANGER, THE FATHERLESS, and THE WIDOW, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; [13] Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto THE LEVITE, and unto THE STRANGER, to THE FATHERLESS, and to THE WIDOW, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:*

In the Old Testament, the Levite constituted a tribe in Israel handling ministering in the tabernacle or temple.

But, today, we have pastors handling that. He's assisted by some other ministers.

Therefore, a wise pastor administers the tithes to help the fivefold ministers (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers) and non-fivefold ministers (intercessors, psalmists, drama ministers, and so on), strangers, the fatherless and the widows.

(The head of a local Church is a pastor, not an apostle. An apostle is a travelling minister while a pastor is a residing or staying minister. In fact, an apostle has been described as a pastor of pastors. Though, an apostle can pastor temporarily when the Church is new or young, nevertheless, he needs to put a pastor in charge as soon as possible as the Church grows while he moves on to the next place of assignment. You may study my books: *"THE MINISTRY OF AN APOSTLE"* and *"THE MINISTRY OF A PASTOR"* along this line.)

In fact, God wants us to entertain strangers.

Hebrews 13:2 KJV
*Be not forgetful to entertain STRANGERS: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.*

He also wants us to look after orphans and widows.

James 1:27 KJV
*Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, TO VISIT THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.*

This implies that we should help the needy or helpless.

So, paying our tithes will help us to help others — the ministers, the fatherless, the widows and the strangers.

*(C) HELPING YOURSELF*

Malachi 3:10-12 KJV
*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.*

Very importantly, giving your tithes in the Scriptural way, will bring some wonderful benefits to you.

Let's look at these benefits one after the other as well as *"TWELVE REASONS WHY THINGS ARE TIGHT FOR SOME BELIEVERS PAYING TITHES."*

*Prayer* (Say it over and over again every day for weeks or months)

Ephesians 1:16-18 KJV
In Jesus' name, I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto me and the Body of Christ locally and globally, especially ..... [mention the names of specific people whose hearts are hardened towards tithes] THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM and REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM: THE EYES OF OUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED on tithes [you may mention other things ....] ; that we may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints ...

*SINNER’S CONFESSION*

If you are not yet born-again, say this:
I choose to repent today. Also I choose to believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose up for my justification.
The Scripture says, *“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”* (Rom 10:9).
Therefore, I believe in Jesus in my heart and confess Him as my Lord. Now I am born-again (Amen).

*SAY THIS ALOUD TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT*

Also Jesus said, *“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses…”* (Acts 1:8).
And on the day of Pentecost *“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance”* (Acts 2:4).
Therefore, I receive the Holy Spirit by faith right now and I begin to speak in an unknown tongue (unlearned tongue) as He gives me the utterance.
I command every foul spirit [spirit of fear, spirit of unbelief, spirit of doubt, religious spirit, unforgiving spirit…] wanting to hinder me to stop in its evil operation in my life in Jesus’ name.
Thank you God for filling me with your Spirit in Jesus’ name (Amen).
