SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: THE TEST OF FAITHFULNESS

Luke 16:10 (NIV)
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."

Tithing is God’s ultimate test of our financial integrity. If we cannot trust God with ten percent of our current income, we cannot handle greater wealth. True faithfulness in tithing proves our hearts are ready for major supernatural promotion. Faithfulness with our tithes shows that we trust God to provide for us. Faith is the only way to please God and when we please Him, He has no option but to meet our needs supernaturally.

PRAYER: Father, grant me the grace to remain faithful in the little so You can trust me with more, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Prove your financial integrity today by being strictly honest with your tithe, no matter how small.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: JESUS ENDORSES THE TITHE

Matthew 23:23 (LB)
"Yes, woe upon you, Pharisees, and you other religious leaders—hypocrites! For you tithe down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things—justice or mercy or faith. Yes, you should tithe, but you shouldn’t leave the more important things undone."

Jesus directly reaffirmed tithing in the Gospels. He corrected hypocritical leaders but clearly stated they should tithe without omitting justice, mercy, and faith. For the New Testament believer, tithing remains an ongoing expression of worship and obedience. It is not right to teach that the grace message did away we tithing, remember the person of grace—Jesus Christ—emphasised tithing. Those who Jesus can tell you better.

PRAYER: Father, help me to balance my giving with a life of deep integrity, mercy, and true love, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Check your heart attitude today to ensure your tithing flows from sincere love, not empty routine.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: REBUKING THE DEVOURER

Malachi 3:11 (NKJV)
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” says the Lord of hosts;"

The tithe serves as a spiritual shield over your resources. When we are faithful, God promises to rebuke the devourer—stopping unexpected leakages, losses, and frustration. Tithing protects your labour, ensuring you gather and enjoy your fruit. And whether you believe it or not, the covenant preservation via the tithes is still at work today and the message of grace and mercy does not change that truth.

PRAYER: Father, rebuke every devourer attacking my finances and protect the labor of my hands, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Stand on God's covenant promise today and declare your finances completely protected from the devourer.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: THE STOREHOUSE PRINCIPLE

Malachi 3:10 (AMPC)
"Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house..."

God specifies that the tithe belongs in the storehouse. Today, your storehouse is the local church where you are spiritually fed. Tithing ensures that the work of the ministry continues smoothly, fulfilling our responsibility to fund God’s house. One reason why many Christians suffer is because they deny the local church their tithes because they keep arguing than sending their tithes.

PRAYER: Father, bless my local church and use my tithe to advance Your kingdom work effectively, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Joyfully bring your tithes to your home church this week to support the work of God.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: HONORING GOD FIRST

Proverbs 3:9 (ERV)
"Honor the Lord with your wealth. Give him the best part of everything you have."

Tithing is fundamentally an issue of honour. True honour does not give God leftovers after expenses are met. When we put God first financially by giving Him our firstfruits and our tithes, we invite His supernatural backing to multiply the rest of our resources. Friends, please fight against anything that tells you not to honour God with your tithes because that thing is demonic. Remember, you do not tithe because God is poor or is a needy.

PRAYER: Father, teach me to always honor You first with my substance without hesitation or delay, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Ensure God gets the first portion of your earnings rather than giving Him your financial leftovers.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: THE TITHE IS HOLY UNTO GOD
Leviticus 27:30 (LB)
"A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy."

God explicitly declared that the tithe belongs to Him. It is not our personal property to give, but God's portion to return. The tithe is holy and set apart. Respecting this boundary keeps our finances securely connected to His divine protection. Until we accept this truth, we will keep taking what is not ours—the tithes. When God says this is mine and I have given it as a heave offering to my servants for their services in mine house, please don't go against this divine institution.

PRAYER: Father, sanctify my finances and give me grace to never touch what belongs to You, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!
ACTION POINT: Separate your tithe immediately when income arrives, treating it as holy and set apart for God.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: JACOB'S COVENANT OF THE TENTH

Genesis 28:22 (GNT)
"This memorial stone that I have set up will be the place where you are worshiped, and I will give you a tenth of everything you give me."

Jacob made a solemn vow to return a tenth of everything to God in response to divine protection. Tithing is a covenant acknowledgment that everything we accumulate in life is a direct result of God's blessing and grace upon us, not our personal strength, know-how or labour. Tithing is personal, it should be done out of personal conviction. That you do not tithe doesn't mean you should speak against it, leave it for those who believe and let eternity tell when we get there.

PRAYER: Father, establish my heart in Your covenant and keep me faithful to my vows, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Renew your covenant of financial faithfulness with God by dedicating your income to Him today.

SERIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TITHING
SUBTITLE: TITHING BEFORE THE LAW

Genesis 14:20 (NIV)
"And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand. Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything."

Long before Moses received the law, Abraham practiced tithing. He voluntarily gave a tenth of his spoils to Melchizedek, recognizing that victory came from God. Tithing began as a spontaneous response of gratitude, proving it is driven by faith, not legalism or the law as some people claim. Tithing has absolutely nothing to do with the law, because Abraham practised tithing long before Moses was given the law. Therfore, tithing is an act of love and not obligation.

PRAYER: Father, help me to cheerfully honor You with my substance out of love and gratitude, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Study Genesis 14 today to understand how faith, not law, motivates true biblical tithing.

SERIES: THE BELIEVER'S STRUGGLES
SUBTITLE: SHE OVERCAME THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED HER

Romans 8:37 (KJV)
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

She had faced doubt, fear, discouragement, and failure. She had stumbled through seasons of spiritual inconsistency and tears. Yet she rose each time, not by her own strength but by the grace of God that refused to let her stay down. Looking back over the month, she saw a trail of God's faithfulness through every struggle. She understood at last that the believer's struggles do not disqualify her — they are the very ground on which her deepest victory is won.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for being my strength in every struggle; I declare that I am more than a conqueror through Christ, in Jesus' name. Amen!

ACTION POINT: Write a letter of gratitude to God for bringing you through every struggle this month.
