	1. TITHING ACCORDING TO GOD 1.1 Paraphrase of God's Commandments on Tithing One tenth of all your income is Mine, and it is holy unto Me. (Ref. Lev. 27:30) Therefore, I, as the rightful Owner of the 10% of your every pay cheque, command you the following: a) Take the tenth portion of your pay cheque, which is Mine, go and have fun. Spend it on you and your family, for whatever your heart desires. (Ref. Deu. 12:5-7; Deu. 12:10- 12; Deu. 12:17-18; Deu. 14:22-26) b) However, do not forget those whom I have called into My ministry and those who are poor: take 10% of your every THIRD pay check and do not spend it on yourself and your family, but rather give it to them. (Ref. Deu. 12:19; Deu. 14:27-29; Deu. 26:12-13) c) Remember: one tenth of your income is My holy tithe, and you MUST NOT use it for ANY unclean thing, that is, for ANYTHING, but for what I have commanded you. (Ref. Deu. 26:14) Observe the above commandments so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God, and I will bless you and I will prosper you in everything that you do. (Ref. Deu. 14:23; Deu. 14:29) In other words, God said: "Throw in a party - and I'll pay the bill. However, do not forget those whom I have called into my ministry, and those who are less fortunate than you -and I will bless you." 1.2. God's Commandments on Tithing The above is a paraphrase of the Old Testament law of tithing, and if anyone believes that tithing law or the tithing principle applies to the New Testament church - this is it. In order to understand it better, it is necessary to go in detail through the teaching of the Old Testament, as stated by the apostle Paul. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
