Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
The lord ask that we honor Him with our giving. Most of the time we think that means money but I think He greatest desire is for us to give Him more of our time. He ask us to give of our first fruits and I think as for as money is concerned he wants our tithes to be from our gross earnings and not the net. With giving Him of our time I think He desires for us to start each day with Him first even before we get out of bed. Verse ten tells us if we do this we will be blessed with more than we will know what to do with. So what are we waiting for? It is the decisions we make that determines what we have.
Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Malachi 3:10 tells it all. “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
