TOPIC: Tithing – What God Expects from You
SCRIPTURE: What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Luke 11:42 (NLT).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you pay tithe but ignore justice and the love of God, it is not acceptable before God.
Seeds of Destiny 12th September 2022 SOD MESSAGE
The Scripture makes it clear that tithing was confirmed and commanded by the Master in the New Testament. Luke 11:42 says,
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.
The New Living Translation renders Luke 11:42 thus:
What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
Pease take note of the statement: You should tithe, yes…
This means that the tithe was confirmed and commanded by our Master Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The Pharisees were careful to tithe but they ignored justice. That was not right.

Now, how does this apply to our lives today? A Christian brother may move about breaking the hearts of young ladies but claims to be paying tithe in church; he knows that he would not marry the lady he is deceiving, yet he keeps wasting her time. That is evil. Some people even steal from their places of work and use part of the money to pay tithe. God does not accept such a tithe.
Beloved, when you pay tithe but ignore justice and the love of God, it is not acceptable before God. When we pay tithe but neglect other important things like righteousness and justice, God will not receive our tithe.
REMEMBER THIS: When you pay tithe but ignore justice and the love of God, it is not acceptable before God.

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
