As I was praying and working on my praying cards (which are index cards, some folks have individual cards with my desires for them and Scripture to pray over them) today a particular need came to the forefront – tithing. Not a favorite subject of many. But it is what it is – an act of obedience, a crucial one.

For sure, GOD does not need one thin dime from any one of us but we so need to give it. And how much? ALL of it! The tithe (10% of your earnings) is only a start. We should be faithful stewards NOT owners of all the monies in our coffers. You see owning our own money will make us very poor indeed.

Hear the Word of the LORD:

8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
11 Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the LORD of hosts.
12 “All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,” says the LORD of hosts.

Did you get that?
And now here it gets uncomfortable for me just on the outside chance that not all The White Stone’s email subscribers are (Faithful) Stewards. Truth is if you are not the Faithful Steward as described above then you are the Robber described above. And did you also get that those outside the Faith see Faithful Stewards (Tithers) as Blessed People. Perhaps one of the reasons folks remain lost is because so many who profess the name of JESUS are Robbers of God. Pretty sad, isn’t it?

You see being a Faithful Steward (Tither) is all about faith and trust. We either believe GOD is faithful to His Word to us or we don’t.

I have one more Text to share before I close today.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the Most High God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
via Genesis 14 KJV – And it came to pass in the days of – Bible Gateway.

Do you see it? Do you see that Abram gave tithe with a willing, grateful heart? Do you see that he gave because the Most High God had been good to him?

Has the Most High God been good to you?

And now since for sure none of The White Stone subscribes fit into the not a Faithful Steward company, this nugget is for you.

Blessed be Abram of the Most High God.  (Spoken by Melchizedek to Abram)
