Thursday 19 January: An Honest or Faithful Tithe
A: As children of God and stewards of His blessings we are asked to be faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:1,2)
Being faithful means tithing 10% of our increase to the storehouse and honouring God with the first part of our increase. Managers of the storehouse must use the funds to support the ministry.
A: ‘After a long time’ the servants’ master asked them what they had done with the talents he had given to them. Like the master, God will ask us His servants to account for our management of His funds. To those who have been financially faithful – ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’
Tithe must be brought into the storehouse no matter how it is used.
