Tithes and Offerings
What is Tithing?
A tithe is a portion (10%) of your income given to your Ministry. The word tithe literally means "tenth" in Hebrew. Tithing is biblical and Godly individuals practice it as part of their faith.
"A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord's, and is holy." Leviticus 27:30
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first-fruits of all your crops." Proverbs 3:9
What is an Offering?
An offering is anything extra that you choose to give. Usually this is between 11%-20% of your income after you tithe.
Why Should I Tithe and Make Offerings?
Godly individuals recognize that Tithes and Offerings are a way for us to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances.
"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Where-in have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8
If you want to receive God's blessings it is very important to provide him Tithes and Offerings
