GOD’S ECONOMY VI
By Christopher J. Hardwick
Mal 3:8-12 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we
robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed
Me, Even this whole nation. 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be
food in My house, And try Me now in this, "Says the Lord of hosts," If I will not open for you
the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room
enough to receive it. 11 "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not
destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, "Says
the Lord of hosts; 12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,
"Says the Lord of hosts. NKJV
Now even though the tithe was established as part of the Law, it was first established as a
principle. Now this is very important because if you apply the principle, you will reap the
benefits of it. According to this scripture there is a promise of the windows of heaven
opening up and a blessing poured out that we will not have enough room to receive it, if we
bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. The Lord even said to try Him in this! God makes
this a promise to us and lets us know how to access the windows of heaven and watch
blessings pour out on us! This principle is old and new testament and is established on a
principle and He backs It up with a promise of overflowing blessings! Then he goes on to say
that He will rebuke the devourer for us. Then the promise goes on to say that our vine will
bear fruit and our land will produce and not be devoured! Then He tells us that all nations
will call us blessed and we will be a delightful land! So don’t get caught up in a debate with
someone about the tithe being old testament and part of the law. It is a principle that will
reap the benefits of God’s blessings to us! If you don’t believe in the tithe, or your not
convinced it’s for today then my suggestion is give more! After all the more you sow, the
more you reap! God wants us to get on His economy, so he can bless us!
