Payment of tithe is a must for a true child of God for He commands it (Malachi 3:10). Christians do not have to be cajoled before they respond to this call because payment of tithe is an act of obedience.
The question if Jesus was ever disobedient answers that as Christians, we must obey God always.
Blessings follow obedience, so also, blessings follow tithing (Deuteronomy 28:1-2; Malachi 3:8-12).
Payment of tithes without righteousness attracts NO blessing but curses. Jesus established this in Matthew 23:23;
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.”
God demands TOTAL obedience from
us.
If a man is faithful in paying tithes and things are not as they should be, let such examine himself (1 Corinthians 13:5) and repent of evil ways.
Righteousness + Tithing => Blessings
Shalom!
