Tithing and Offering Part 5a
This week's blog, I will be categorizing the tithes that are acceptable and unacceptable to God. Let us dive right in!!!
Tithes (10%) That are Acceptable to God:
- Wages earned from a LEGAL job, career, or profession.
- Interest earned on LEGITIMATE investments.
- Profits earned from LEGAL and LEGITIMATE businesses that we own.
- Salaries received by those employed by God in FULL-TIME MINISTRY. This includes ALL Pastors and Overseers that are over congregations.
- Monies received by Pastors and OVERSEERS during Pastors appreciation and anniversaries.
- A fifth part(5%) of what we recieve from our income taxes. This applies to ALL who use the tithes that they gave throughout the year as a tax write off or to redeem during tax time what they gave as tithes to God. REMEMBER!!! That the TENTH PART (10%) is holy unto God. Being set apart for the sole purposes of the building of HIS Kingdom and for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read Leviticus Chapter 27 for this precedent on the Fifth part (5%).
- Monies received from income tax refunds. Wages that were taxed from monies earned from our employment, careers, professions, and the businesses that we own. In all truth tithes are to be GIVEN from the GROSS AMOUNT of our salaries NOT the after tax amount. God should ALWAYS be given what belongs to HIM FIRST!!!
- Tithes that are given free from blemishes(SIN). This will be expounded on further when I list the Tithes that are UNACCEPTABLE to God. This is what God meant when he said in Malachi 3:10a "Bring ye ALL the TITHES (10%) into the STOREHOUSE." KJV
In consideration for all who read my blogs I will divide part 5 of this blog into two separate pieces. Reason being is that the list for tithes that are UNACCEPTABLE to God is quite long. Any questions or comments I encourage you to go into the comment section of this blog and ask your questions as well as share any comments that you may have. I will lovingly reply to them. God Bless you all Greatly and Richly in ALL THINGS in Christ Jesus. Love you much.
