*7 REASONS WHY EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD PAY THEIR TITHES — PART 3*

*Introduction*

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

Last week, we looked at the second 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.*

Now, this week, by God's grace, we are looking at the third reason, namely:

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

Malachi 3:6-10 KJV
*[6] For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. [7] Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? [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, even this whole nation. [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.*

Now let's consider verses 8 and 9 above in other versions below:

Malachi 3:8-9 AMPC
8 Will a man *ROB OR DEFRAUD* God? Yet you *ROB AND DEFRAUD* Me. But you say, In what way do we *ROB OR DEFRAUD* You? [You have withheld your] tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with the curse, for you are *ROBBING* Me, even this whole nation. [Lev. 26:14-17.]

Malachi 3:8-9 NLT
8 "Should people *CHEAT* God? Yet you have *CHEATED* me! "But you ask, 'What do you mean? When did we ever *CHEAT* you?' "You have *CHEATED* me of the tithes and offerings due to me. 9 You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been *CHEATING* me.

Malachi 3:8-9 BBE
8 Will a man *KEEP BACK FROM* God *WHAT IS RIGHT*? But you have *KEPT BACK WHAT IS MINE.* But you say, What have we *KEPT BACK FROM* you? Tenths and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse; for you have *KEPT BACK FROM ME WHAT IS MINE,* even all this nation.

Malachi 3:8-9 GodsWord
8 "Can a person *CHEAT* God? Yet, you are *CHEATING* me! "But you ask, 'How are we *CHEATING* you?' "When you don't bring a tenth of your income and other contributions. 9 So a curse is on you because the whole nation is *CHEATING* me!

In essence, God was saying here that His people were robbing Him, defrauding Him, cheating Him or keeping back from Him what legitimately belonged to Him!

Wasn't that wickedness of the highest order?

In other words, His people in question were robbers, fraudsters, cheats or thieves.

Stealing from fellow humans is evil, but stealing from God is a more terrible evil!

God commanded: *Thou shalt not STEAL* (Exodus 20:15 KJV).

Apparently, you don't want to be addressed as a thief, but if you steal God's tithes and/or offerings by not paying or giving yours when due, then you are nothing, but a thief!

God's people rob, cheat or defraud Him of their tithes and offerings, which belong to Him for different reasons such as:

(i) Forgetfulness

(ii) Poverty/Low income

(iii) Debt

(iv) Ignorance

(v) Belief that tithes were for people under the law

(vi) Lack of faith

(vii) Stubbornness

(viii) Disobedience

(ix) Stinginess

(x) Covetousness/greed

(xi) Demonic manipulation

(xii) Discouragement, and so on

But, there is no excuse for robbing God!

Romans 2:1 RSV
*THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE, O MAN, ...*

Very importantly, God hates both stealing His tithes (as well as offerings) and stealing to pay tithes.

Isaiah 61:8 KJV
For I the Lord love judgment, *I HATE ROBBERY FOR BURNT OFFERING;* and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

You see, God hates robbery not only for burnt offering, but also for tithes and offerings (in general)!

In fact, He hates robbery in any fashion, form or shape!

By the way, there are different forms of robbery, namely: armed robbery, pen robbery, verbal robbery, internet robbery, mobile robbery, religious robbery, and so on.

Anyone who steals or robs is carrying out part of Satan's threefold ministry (see John 10:10).

The command from heaven has always been: *THOU SHALT NOT STEAL* (Exodus 20:15 KJV).

It neither says: "You may not steal" nor "You cannot steal."

It's neither a suggestion nor a request. Rather, it's a command.

Let's take a closer look at it in some other versions thus:

Exodus 20:15 AMPC
*YOU SHALL NOT STEAL.* [Prov. 11:1; 16:8; 21:6; 22:16; Jer. 17:11; Mal. 3:8.]

Exodus 20:15 GNT
*“DO NOT STEAL.*

Exodus 20:15 GodsWord
*"NEVER STEAL*

The word "shall" here speaks of a command. It's an imperative statement.

*PREACHER, PREACH TO YOURSELF FIRST!*

Romans 2:21 KJV
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not *STEAL,* dost thou *STEAL*?

Romans 2:21 AMPC
Well then, you who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you teach against *STEALING,* do you *STEAL* (take what does not really belong to you)?

It's sad that some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, bishops, deacons, and so on may preach or teach hard on tithes and offerings, yet without giving their own to God faithfully or even at all.

This is sheer hypocrisy!

You must pay your own tithes and offerings first, then preach or teach it to others.

It's called leadership by example.

*"1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 SO YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO DO EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU. BUT DO NOT DO WHAT THEY DO, FOR THEY DO NOT PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH"* (Matthew 23:1-3, NIV).

Acts 1:1 KJV
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, *of all that JESUS began BOTH TO DO and TEACH,*

Dear preacher, if you are robbing God in tithes and offerings, but you are preaching and screaming that your listeners should not rob Him in tithes and offerings, then how will they obey Him through your preaching that contradicts your lifestyle because they are watching you; and your secret or disobedience will be known to them sooner or later?

As a matter of caution, Paul wrote Timo: *"15 PRACTICE THESE THINGS. DEVOTE YOUR LIFE to them SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE YOUR PROGRESS. 16 FOCUS on YOUR LIFE and YOUR TEACHING. CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF AND THOSE WHO HEAR YOU"* (1 Timothy 4:15-16, GodsWord).

*WARNINGS ON GIVING OF TITHES*

*Warning 1. DON'T GIVE YOUR TITHES TO A NON-CHURCH*

From the Scriptural standpoint, tithes should be given to the local Church!

It should never be given to a Christian evangelistic organization, association or ministry for soul winng crusades.

Nor should it be given to a Bible school, gospel tract printing organization, Christian TV/radio/internet ministry, Christian university, and so on.

2 Chronicles 31:9-12 KJV
*Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. [10] And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord , we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store. [11] Then Hezekiah commanded TO PREPARE CHAMBERS IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ; AND THEY PREPARED THEM , [12] AND BROUGHT IN THE OFFERINGS AND THE TITHES and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.*

Malachi 3:10 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 .

All your tithes (100 percent) goes to your local Church!

They must go to the house of God as seen in the Scriptures above.

In the New Testament, the house of God refers first to God's people, then second, a place of worship. (Strong's Greek Dictionary confirms and explains this.)

1 Timothy 3:15 KJV
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in *THE HOUSE OF GOD, which is THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, the pillar and ground of the truth.*

In this context above, Paul referred to the house of God, which is the Church of God as a place of worship.

But, in Ephesians 5:25 and 27, he referred to the Church as the people of God.

Ephesians 5:25-27 KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved *THE CHURCH,* and gave himself for it; [26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [27] That he might present it to himself *A GLORIOUS CHURCH,* not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

I embrace Kenneth E. Hagin's policy along this line of giving of tithes. He would tell God's people to give their tithes to their various local Churches, but to send him an offering (if they wanted to support his ministry)!

I teach the same principle because it's Scriptural!

Year ago, one of the Bible School students who was a member of another Church gave me his tithe.

I prayed on it and returned it to him telling him to give it to his pastor. I was only his teacher, and not his pastor!

Even though, I needed money at that time, yet I had to obey the Scripture.

He must have been surprised or shocked at my action!

Actually, it did not belong to his pastor. It belonged to God. But, I will not eat another man's labour unlawfully or unworthily. And his pastor has a right to a portion of it through the Church setting or management.

It's ideal to give your tithe to the local Church you are a member of, and which is the same Church that feeds and takes care of you spiritually, emotionally and physically.

The pastor that disciples you, prays with you, visits you, watches over you even in the night seasons, caters for your welfare, counsels you maritally, ministerially, vocationally and financially, empathizes with you in sickness or pain, conducts your wedding, stays with you when your wife was giving birth in the hospital overnight, travels to bury your aged parents, and so on, deserves to be given part of your tithes as allowance by the Church management.

1 Timothy 5:17-18 GNT
*17 The elders who do good work as leaders should be considered worthy of receiving double pay, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. 18 For the scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox when you are using it to thresh grain” and “Workers should be given their pay.”*

1 Timothy 5:17-18 NLT
*17 Elders who do their work well should be paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, "Do not keep an ox from eating as it treads out the grain." And in another place, " Those who work deserve their pay! "*

1 Timothy 5:17-18 AMP
*17 Let the elders who perform the duties of their office well be considered doubly worthy of honor [and of adequate financial support], especially those who labor faithfully in preaching and teaching.
18 For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain, and again, The laborer is worthy of his hire. [Deut. 25:4; Luke 10:7.]*

You see, if a member of the Church I lead happens to give me his tithe, I may ask him to bring it to the Church service or venue himself, or I may collect it and help him drop it in the Church's collection basket, or keep it for him till the Church service day when I will hand it over to him to drop by himself.

I will be foolish to pocket it! That will be lack of ministerial ethics and etiquette.

It's to be regretted greatly that some Church managements are selfish and wicked for they refuse to take good care of their well-deserving ministers intentionally when the resources are available!

The Lord will judge His people.

Ezekiel 34:20-22 NIV
*20 "’Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says to them: See, I myself will judge between THE FAT SHEEP and THE LEAN SHEEP. 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another.*

Ezekiel 34:20-22 AMPC
*20 Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I Myself, will judge between FAT SHEEP and IMPOVERISHED SHEEP, or fat goats and lean goats. 21 Because you push with side and with shoulder and thrust with your horns all those that have become weak and diseased, till you have scattered them abroad, 22 Therefore will I rescue My flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.*

Ezekiel 34:21 NLT
*For YOU FAT SHEEP push and butt and crowd MY SICK AND HUNGRY FLOCK until they are scattered to distant lands.*

*Warning 2. DON'T GIVE YOUR TITHES AS ALMS TO THE POOR*

Simply put, tithe is ten percent of one's income or profit while alms are material and/or financial possessions one gives to the poor or needy.

We should never replace tithes with alms, and vice versa.

Therefore, it's wrong to convert your tithes to alms or to convert your alms to tithes!

Friend, neither stop giving your tithes because you are giving alms to the poor nor stop giving alms because you are giving your tithes to your Church!

*JESUS DIFFERENTIATED BETWEEN ALMS AND TITHES*

Luke 11:41-42 KJV
But rather give *ALMS* of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. [42] But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye *TITHE* mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: *these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.*

This Scripture shows beyond any shadow of doubt that Jesus believed in, approved of, encouraged and taught both alms and tithes as two different things.

I know of a dear popular apostolic leader in Europe who sadly has changed tithes to alms.

So, he encouraged the Church members not to pay tithes, but rather to use them as alms to the poor.

Jesus encouraged alms in some other Scriptures as well (see Matthew 6:1-4 and Luke 12:33).

*THE EARLY CHURCH PROMOTED ALMS*

Acts 3:2-3, 10 KJV
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask *ALMS* of them that entered into the temple; [3] Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an *ALMS.* 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for *ALMS* at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

The temple worshippers gave alms at the Beautiful Gate or else that lame man would have left long before he could receive his healing!

Acts 9:36 KJV
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called *DORCAS:* this woman was full of good works and *ALMSDEEDS* which she did.

Dorcas was full of alms giving!

Acts 10:1-2 KJV
There was a certain man in Caesarea called *CORNELIUS,* a centurion of the band called the Italian band , [2] A devout man , and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much *ALMS* to the people, and prayed to God alway.

This Scripture reveals that Cornelius "gave much *ALMS* to the people..."

It didn't say that he "gave much *TITHES* to the people..."

There is a crystal clear difference between tithes and alms.

Also, Paul the apostle practised giving alms. He differentiated between alms given to the poor and offerings presented to God!

Read his statement below carefully in the various versions:

Acts 24:17 KJV
Now after many years I came to bring *ALMS* to my nation, and *OFFERINGS.*

Acts 24:17 ESV
Now after several years I came to bring *ALMS* to my nation and to *PRESENT OFFERINGS.*

Acts 24:17 NLT
"After several years away, I returned to Jerusalem with *MONEY TO AID MY PEOPLE* and to *OFFER SACRIFICES TO GOD.*

Acts 24:17 GodsWord
After many years I have come back to my people and brought *GIFTS FOR THE POOR* and *OFFERINGS FOR GOD.*

Acts 24:17 NIV
"After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people *GIFTS FOR THE POOR* and to *PRESENT OFFERINGS.*

You see, believers should never give their tithes to orphans (the fatherless), widows, old people, the sick, strangers, and so on out of pity.

Rather, they should give alms to them as prompted by God.

James 1:27 AMPC
*EXTERNAL RELIGIOUS WORSHIP [RELIGION as it is expressed in outward acts] that is PURE and UNBLEMISHED in the sight of God the Father is this: TO VISIT AND HELP AND CARE FOR THE ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR AFFLICTION AND NEED,* and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.

James 1:27 GNT
*What God the Father considers to be PURE and GENUINE RELIGION is this: TO TAKE CARE OF ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR SUFFERING* and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world.

James 1:27 NIV
*RELIGION that God our Father accepts as PURE and FAULTLESS is this: TO LOOK AFTER ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR DISTRESS* and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Believers should give alms to the poor individually while the Church leadership should manage the tithes correctly and ensure that they are used Scripturally.

You see, tithes are to help the local Church.

Yes, tithes were to take care of the levites, the strangers, the fatherless, and the widows.

Deuteronomy 26:12 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;*

[Levites here speak of the ministers in charge of the temple or tabernacle.]

But, you are not to distribute your tithes to the Church ministers, the strangers, the fatherless, and the widows by yourself.

No, that's not your job. It's will be disorder.

1 Corinthians 14:33,40 KJV
*For GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE, AS IN ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS. [40] Let all things be done DECENTLY and IN ORDER.*

Just give your tithes faithfully to the local Church the Lord has instructed to be a member of and leave the administration, management and distribution of the tithes to the minister(s) in charge.

Leave them to their conscience.

Romans 14:12 KJV
*So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.*

However, widows that have responsible relations should be helped by such relations without bothering the Church, so that the Church can help dependent widows.

And any widow under 60 years should remarry.

1 Timothy 5:9, 11-12, 14-16 AMPC
*9 Let no one be put on the roll of widows [who are to receive church support] who is under sixty years of age or who has been the wife of more than one man; 11 But refuse [to enroll on this list the] younger widows, for when they become restive and their natural desires grow strong, they withdraw themselves against Christ [and] wish to marry [again]. 12 And so they incur condemnation for having set aside and slighted their previous pledge. 14 So I would have younger [widows] marry, bear children, guide the household, [and] not give opponents of the faith occasion for slander or reproach. 15 For already some [widows] have turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing woman or believing man has [relatives or persons in the household who are] widows, let him relieve them; let the church not be burdened [with them], so that it may [be free to] assist those who are truly widows (those who are all alone and are dependent).*

*Warning 3. DON'T GIVE YOUR TITHES TO AN UNFERTILE CHURCH*

What is an unfertile Church? This a Church whose spiritual soil is like concrete or cemented floor that can never make seeds germinate!

Unfertile Churches include occult Churches (using demonic power), cult Churches (denying some or all of the basic teachings of Christ), derailed Churches (that used to follow God in the past), Churches that are established for business purposes or other wrong reasons without God's ordination, direction and backing, and so on.

Deuteronomy 12:13-14 RSV
*13 Take heed that you do not offer your burnt offerings at every place that you see; 14 but at the place which the Lord will choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.*

I remember the story of a world renowned apostolic leader here in Nigeria.

Several years ago, he wrote in his book that he once had a vision or dream of sowing in a cemented or concrete floor. (Or God showed him a similar thing.)

In actuality, God was telling him that he had sown his financial seed in unfertile ground.

That may explain why some believers are going through unnecessary, avoidable and self-inflicted financial hardship or struggle in spite of giving their tithes and offerings faithfully, but in unfertile ground.

Make sure the Lord leads you to the local Church you belong to. It's not all about size. Size is secondary, but important.

In healthy and strong Church growth, quality comes before quantity! Both are very important, but in this strict order!

Again, you don't necessarily need to be a member of a local Church simply because it's very close to your house or work place!

Romans 8:14 KJV
*For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*

*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).
