God bless all nations through him.
First, let us examine the historical backdrop of how to receive the blessings of Abraham. God’s blessing was bestowed upon Abraham, as documented in Genesis 12:1-3: “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people, and your father’s household to the land I will show you.'”
I will make you into a great nation,
- And I will bless you;
- I will make your name great,
- And you will be a blessing.
- I will bless those who bless you,
- And whoever curses you, I will curse;
- And all people on earth will be blessed through you.
No one will understand how to receive the blessings of Abraham simply by paying tithes. Primarily, God bestowed these blessings upon Abraham and made him very wealthy before he met Melchizedek, the king of Salem, as recorded in Genesis 13:1-2. Indeed, the blessing of Abraham finds its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus Christ, the “Seed” of Abraham (Galatians 3:16) and the Redeemer of the world.
However, people raise grievances daily regarding church tithes because they can no longer endure the lies they are told. Now, does tithing make you as wealthy as Abraham and Levi? Discover and share when you see anyone. Indeed, I haven’t seen anyone who has become a millionaire by paying tithes.
Moreover, the scripture tells us, “When Melchizedek encountered Abraham. Levi, who collects the tenth, was still in his ancestor’s loins. Hence, it proves that Aaron and his sons are priests, and priests do not collect tithes but the workers who are Levites.”
Didn’t they contain the tithe during Abraham’s lifetime? Instead, it was Levi, who was still unborn. That was how Levi paid tithes through Abraham.
Abraham wasn’t a Christian.
Furthermore, tithing is a relic of the Old Testament that fulfilled God’s immediate purpose for the Levites in an agrarian Israel. It began before Christ came to dwell with us on earth, and He did not extend the requirement of tithes to His followers, the Christians.
Therefore, enough of tithing! If you belong to Christ, not only that, but you are Abraham’s descendants, his promised heirs. Indeed, you can only become a billionaire through Christ, in whom are all the riches of God. Jesus paid it all for us on the cross.
Why pay tithes again, Christians? You want to know how to receive the blessings of Abraham , which the sweet-tongued pastor won’t tell you. Is that right? When Jesus has made everything perfect for all time, Christians are to remain holy.
Finally, Jesus paid your debt, including tithes, through one sacrifice. He granted us redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins. Consider the riches of God’s grace in Christ and become a recipient of them.
Those who claim to speak for God have willfully misrepresented the truth about tithing. Therefore, please refrain from giving tithes. Many who collect tithes today will face severe consequences in the afterlife. Do not help anyone in their descent into doom by paying tithes.
Before paying tithes, ask yourself and the pastors if tithing enriches anyone, as God assured Abraham and Levi. Otherwise, consider using your cash for better purposes than to enrich your pastors. Indeed, no one has benefited from it. For those who are called, cease if the Lord calls you to pastor His sheep. Otherwise, you are not being obedient to Him. Period!
God’s commands on offerings prosper us, not tithing.
God required the 10% from the Sadducees and Pharisees. Contribute your tenth to a clergyperson if you’re a Pharisee or a Sadducee. Otherwise, you are a Christian. In reality, the practice of Old Testament tithing is a key distinguishing feature of Pentecostal churches. Be cautious about these private-property Pentecostal churches.
He is the Lord; obey Him and enjoy the benefits of obedience. Jesus said, “If you give, you receive,” and that’s the law of nature. This is how to receive the blessings of Abraham.
Above all, you will receive a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Will the measure you use be measured to you? (Luke 6:38)
The warehouse mentioned in Malach is where Jews brought grain and wine to the temples to store 10% of it. It has nothing to do with the Christian Church. Therefore, pay tithes if you’re of the Jewish set, for Levi paid tithes through Abraham. And Jesus Christ spent it all for us Christians.
Old things have passed away, brethren—Jesus and Christians represent the New Testament; let us obey the Lord’s teaching. Christians are believers in Jesus Christ. The Bible does not state that Jesus or his apostles instructed people to tithe to master how to receive the blessings of Abraham or to become wealthy.
Do not tithe; it’s not how to receive the blessings of Abraham.
Does tithing make you rich like Abraham? If not, you are a Christian unless you discover otherwise. Any minister who cannot run a church without tithes should consider other professions or seek the Lord.
If the Lord truly called you, His name is Jehovah Jireh. He will manage the Church for you. And if a pastor tells you that you are sinning by not tithing, tell him, “Christ took my infirmities and bore my diseases.”
So, you are blessed. Tithing does not enrich but rather fattens ministers. Being good Christians and obeying Christ are the keys to receiving the blessings of Abraham. He only tells you to give, as mentioned above.
In contrast, in the blink of an eye, one can count the millions of pastors, including quacks, who have amassed wealth by ceaselessly collecting tithes from churchgoers. Please remember this: It’s people who attend church, not the other way around.
So go to the church, worship, praise the Lord, and give an offering for the atonement of your life. And regularly ask yourself, does tithing make me rich like Abraham, or does it make me lose my income?
Please always inquire before tithing. Enough of tithing; we must always do God’s will. The Lord is God, and His name is Jesus. He will show us how to receive the blessings of Abraham if we obey what He says, not simply because we tithe, which Jesus did not command us to do.
