POWER OF GIVING


IN THE BIBLE THERE ARE SOME CHAPTERS THAT EXPLAIN THE TRUTH BLESSING OF THE POWER OF GIVING "TITHING 10%".

CAN IT REALLY CHANGE SOMEONE'S LIFE?

I HOPE IT WILL ENLIGHT AND INFORM THE ONES WHO WANTS TO JOIN AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE OF CONTRIBUTING 10%. GIVING IT WITH YOUR HEART.

GENESIS 14:20

...And blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

GENESIS 28:22

...and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house,
and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."

2 CORINTHIANS 9:7

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

LUKE 16:13

"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

MALACHI 3:10-12

10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. 12 "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty.

DEUTERONOMY 12:11

Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD.

1 CORINTHIANS 9:4-14

4Don't we have the right to food and drink? 5Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas? 6Or is it only I and Barnabas who must work for a living?
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk? 8Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Doesn't the Law say the same thing? 9For it is written in the Law of Moses: "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain."Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. 13Don't you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
