SCRIPTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReturn to Me, and I will return to you,\u201d says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:7 AMP)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTIONAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at Malachi, chapter three, to which many people refer when teaching on tithing. Tithing in this chapter is unique because it takes you both ways; it takes you back to the Old Testament, and also points you to the New Testament. Let\u2019s look at verses 6\u20139 in the Amplified Bible<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cFor I am the Lord, I do not change [but remain faithful to My covenant with you]; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, have not come to an end. \u201cYet from the days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and <\/em>ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,\u201d says the Lord of hosts. \u201cBut you say, \u2018How shall we return?\u2019 \u201cWill a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, \u2018In what way have we robbed You?\u2019 In tithes and offerings [you have withheld]. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, this whole nation! Malachi 3:6\u20139 AMP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here God is speaking about the tithe through the prophet Malachi. The people of God had forsaken the commandment to give the tithe from their increase according to Leviticus. Here in Malachi, God was allowing them to cancel all back tithes and start anew, to return to Him with their best. He also explains that the tithe opens the way for the children of Israel to return to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear God, Thank you for your great mercy to me for the times I\u2019ve ignored or disobeyed your instructions in my life. I repent, and I purpose to be faithful and obey you in the future and will reap the rewards of obedience. In Jesus\u2019 Name, amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
