The Bible has commanded every Christian to bring in all the tithes and offerings to the storehouse of the Lord. It is one-tenth of one income or earning. Many people are faithful while others are not, they feel like they are making the pastor wealthy. Tithes are one of the important thing a Christian need to offer God without murmuring or grudges in the heart. Many find it very difficult to release their tithe because they see it as a huge amount of money. While some feel like the money is too small to give God. No matter how huge or little is the money, it is neither too big nor small in the sight of God. God is the one who blesses both the rich and poor and he can take whatever he gives at any time.
Many people in the church both members and non-members have found it a habit to render sinful money to God. Money that is been gotten from sinful acts such as robbery, fraud, gambling, and stealing. Some people do it to please their church leader, to get fame, or post in the church. Here are two types of tithe that are unacceptable before God.
– Tithe gotten from sinful activities
Money that is gotten from sinful activities is not pure in the sight of God. But many people will want to offer unto God what is not right or clean just because to fulfill all righteousness. Such money is unacceptable before God and it doesn’t attract any reward or blessing.
– Incomplete tithe
Some members in the church find it a problem to pay their complete tithe. Because the money might be too big in their eyes so they tend to remove little from it. It is very wrong to touch our tithe and offering because anyone who does that has automatically robbed God. Such persons are regarded as a thief or robbers.
