​
4. What if I don’t give tithes?
• Not tithing will result in your being disobedient to the command of God.
When you decide to worship God through your giving, it exemplifies your trust in His word and your obedience to His command. Giving can save your future as well as save your life. When you sow, it is your way of planting seeds to reap a blessed harvest.
The bible says “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessings, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
-Malachi 3:10
