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."
