Proverbs 3:9-10 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Blessings of Tithing: Blessings for obedience. God’s house will not lack (Mal. 3:10). God’s ministers will not lack (1Cor. 9:7-14; 1Tim. 5:17-18; Neh. 13:10; Mal. 3:8-10). Material and spiritual blessings (Mal. 3:8-10; Pro. 3:9-10; 2Chr. 31:1-21; Neh. 13:1-31).
1Timothy 5:18 states that we must not muzzle an ox that treads out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. This clarifies that no one should work for free (Matt. 10:10; Luke 10:7).
Examples of paying tithes: Abraham (Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:1-11); Jacob (Gen. 28:22); Levi in Abraham (Heb. 7:9); Hezekiah and Israel (2Chr. 31:1-21); Nehemiah and Israel (Neh. 13:1-31); Hypocrites (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42; 18:12); Christians (1Cor. 9:7-14; 16:2; 2Cor. 7:11; 8:1-15; Gal. 6:6; 1Tim. 5:17-18; Heb. 7:1-28).
No scripture even mentions a substitute program for tithing in the New Testament.
‘So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.’ This expresses material prosperity.
