as coincidences, but we would have to be
spiritually brain dead to do that.
When it was prophesied in the Book of
Acts that a famine was going to come upon
the whole earth, the churches did not begin to
hoard; they took up an offering and gave! (see
Acts 11:28-30) When we give, we are putting
our treasures in heaven and our trust in God.
If you believe that economic catastrophe is
coming, the only wise place for you to invest
is in the kingdom that cannot be shaken. You
may think that you cannot afford to tithe, but
you cannot afford not to. Most of us do not
really need more income, we just need to have
the devourer rebuked. But the Lord promises
to do more than that; He promises that we
will be so blessed that we will not have room
enough to hold it all.
Are you that blessed? If not, then “bring
the whole tithe into the storehouse.” That
means the before-taxes tithe. If we really
believe the Word of God, why would we not
want to bring the whole tithe and much more?
He promises a blessing which is so great that
we cannot even contain it anyway.
The following are a few other biblical
promises that the Lord has given in relation
to this. Knowing these and living by them can
turn your whole financial life around. They
are God’s Word and He cannot lie.
