Title: The  Godly tithes.

“Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.' And he gave him a tithe of all.”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭14:18-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. 

It is a Godly thing to give a tenth of your increase to God. Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek who had no father, no mother, genealogy, no beginning of days or end of life. 

Point of Reflection:

“For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,” without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Jesus Christ is a priest forever of the order (rank) of Melchizedek. 

“For He testifies: 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.'"‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. 

Melchizedek was a manifestation of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

So then Melchizedek appeared to Abraham when returning from battle.

 Melchizedek did three things: Broke bread with Abraham (the first supper), blessed Abraham and took tithes from Abraham. 
Abraham gave tithes under direct instruction of the Holy Spirit, as he was not under the law. Bringing tithes results in God rebuking the devourer- a demon of waste and inefficiency in your finances. (Malachi 3:8-12). Jesus commended the tithes: “But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭11:42‬ ‭KJV‬‬. 


Bringing the tithes  and offerings opens a door to blessing and a deeper revelation and experience of God. His word says in Malachi 3:12 KJV "And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts."
His word also says in Malachi 3:17 KJV."And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.”‭‭  Also remember that the letter kills but the spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6. Tithing and offering has to be done to the spirit and not letter of the word of God. Always be ready to do it but let the Holy Spirit direct you.

Do you desire to strengthen your relationship with God through tithes and offerings? He says you shall be a blessed and delightful person. 

When you are ready-

Prayer of consecration:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank for redemption through the blood that was shed on the cross.

 I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

 I set myself apart for you and consecrate myself for you, to serve you with my substance.

 I reject and denounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.

 I commit myself to you to do your will with my substance.

I commit myself to bring my tithes and offering to your house.

While I am ready to do it I will allow the Holy Spirit to direct and lead me.

 Thank you for your promises of blessing upon my life.

In Jesus Christ's name I pray.

Amen.Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze
