Giving and Tithing

A Heart to Give

heart of a tither

By Kenneth C. Ulmer, PH. D.

God doesn't want our money. He wants our hearts.

Tithers bring a heart after God. 

The woman in Mark 12 and Luke 21, who gave two mites, was blessed by Jesus because she had a heart that told her that it all belonged to the Lord.

Two mites many not have been much by the standards of other people, but it was a massive amount to her-and she earmarked 100 percent for God!

It was all she had to live on, and she was blessed by Jesus because he heart prompted her to give her all (See Luke 21:1-4).

The 7 Promises of Jubilee

Jubilee PicBy Benny Hinn

When the children of Israel cried out, God not only delivered them from bondage in Egypt, but He also established a system that would continue to provide deliverance again and again every fifty years by declaring a Jubilee in the land.

With the Jubilee, each generation could be delivered, and with that deliverance came seven amazing promises that should be very significant to believers today:

1. Liberty
“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family” (Leviticus 25:10). 

Bondage is a cruel master. Bondage is not of God. Today, too many people are in financial bondage. When you borrow money, you are in bondage to the lender. God is getting ready to set the captives free supernaturally. Liberty is coming!

The Joy of Tithing

By Benny Hinn

I'm so grateful that our relationship with God is an ongoing one, that He takes us literally "from glory to glory." And how glorious it is to be in an ever-deepening love relationship with our wonderful heavenly Father! Every day as I spend more time with the blessed Master in the Word of God and in prayer, I become that much more acquainted with His ways, that much more familiar with what is important to Him, that much more motivated to please Him in every way.

And as I become more and more acquainted with His Word, His will, and His ways, I become ever more convinced of the importance of tithing in our lives. Yet I sometimes talk to people - sincere, convinced brothers and sisters in the Lord - who say, "Tithing is part of the Old Testament law and not a requirement for believers today." Frankly, I cringe when I hear that. I fear that these good people are experiencing giving only as a requirement or demand when our heavenly Father wants us to experience it as a delight. No one requires us to give to someone we love - it happens naturally. It is delightful to give to those who have given to us first -  and we experience this delight when we tithe.
