THE TESTIMONIES OF TITHE

God’s setup of His armies of invisible soldiers; the locusts, cankerworms, Palmer worms and the spiritual and physical devourers is to destroy and cause business failure, retrogression and set back in people’s endeavors, labour and work on earth; to those that will not obey, believe and practice this principle of the law of tithing and other general givings to God, Joel 2:25, Malachi 3: 11.

“Give, it shall be given unto you! Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For the same measure you mete unto others shall it be measured unto you again” Luk 6:38.

Hence, if you are a regular and consistent good tither that keeps and obey this law, the earth shall yield her increase unto you in her strength. And yes, you will always have the assurance and testimonies of your business growth, prosperity, safety and protection from all kinds of thefts on them. For the security, increase and expansion of it is a sure guarantee.

But to the contentious, unbelievers and those that argue and disobey it shall be disaster, failure and catastrophe. For this shall be the wages and dues of those that don’t keep, obey and practice this law. Besides, tithe can also save in the time of trouble and need. There’s a woman who underwent a uterus operation. After the surgery operation on her womb she died and they covered and carried her out.

According to her she said, when they were wheeling her body to be deposited in the morgue, she heard a voice from far up which said; “save her, save her! For she pays her tithe”. Immediately, she was restored and moved her body. When the mortuary attendants that were taking her saw this they took to their flights.

But when they saw her pull off the napkin cloth they used to cover her and situp; they returned and she told them her experience. This woman I’m talking about here is still alive today. Now you can know and see the power and importance of the blessings and testimonies of tithe.

THE GRAVE DANGER OF NOT PAYING TITHE

The danger of not paying our tithes is irreparable. It’s like a man on suicide mission. Or a voyage without end. Or a flight without landing. Or a course without head or definition. The end result of it is eternal crash. Hell! Or an unimaginable place in the unquenchable fire of abyss. That’s the place and portion of men and women that violated, abused and refused to honour and obey this law shall be. Every word of God is pure! So any disobedience to any one of them is punishable with death, even the death of the soul.

“For those who sinned without the law shall perish without the law. Those that sinned in the law shall be judged by the law”, Romans 2: 12.

And those who sinned in the dispensation of grace shall be judged by the law of grace.

“For the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings salvation has appeared unto all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world”, Titus 2: 11-12.

This tell us that grace also has laws. For whatsoever that has the capacity, power, strength, and principle to impart, instruct, teach, enlighten and guide is a law.
The law is a teacher, instructor, guide and a light on our path. So grace is a law of its own hence it can teach, instruct, impart, guide and warn us of the impending dangers of breaking and violating God’s laws. Those things referred to in the book of Titus are the laws of grace.

Whosoever therefore that shall sin against it is guilty of the law of grace and shall therefore die by it. For every word of God is precious! Any acts of disobedience to them attracts a penalty. The penalty is the PUNISHMENT the Bible in Malachi called CURSE.

But this is talking about a divine and physical PUNISHMENT that will cost them their relationship with God. And a set back in the work and sweat of the labour of their hands. For every disobedience to any of God’s laws is rebellion. And every rebellion is a sin against Him! Just like every sin is a curse unto man.
And the end result of every curse which is sin, is eternal damnation of PUNISHMENT in the eternal lake of fire. This is the meaning of that Scripture verse: “You are cursed with a CURSE” Malachi 3: 9. It just simply means, PUNISHMENT!

Since creation till today God has never cursed anything He made. When Adam sinned, God cursed the earth. When Cain killed Abel, the earth that swallowed the blood of Abel received the curse.

“And now art thou cursed from the Earth, which had opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; when you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength, a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the Earth. And Cain said unto the LORD, my PUNISHMENT is greater than I can bear”, Genesis 4: 11- 13.

Do you know why God cannot curse anything that has life He made? The reason is because anything God cursed shall die immediately and never live again. That was why that fig tree the Lord cursed died instantly and never lived again, Matthew 21:19 – 20, Mark 11:13 – 14, 20 – 21.

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, YOU CURSED, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: And these shall go away into everlasting PUNISHMENT, but the righteous into life eternal” , Matthew 25:41, 46. 

You can now understand that the curse mentioned in the book of Malachi is talking about punishment the people would receive and serve for their disobedience and refusal to pay their tithes to God again. Not a curse on their biological life.
If it were a curse on their lives Israel would have ceased to be a Nation from that very day, because anybody or Nation, God cursed shall be no more, or exist forever. So whoever that teaches and discourages people from paying their tithes should know therefore that he’s instigating and calling for a revolution and rebellion against God. That means the person has already gone to prepare his bed in Hell beforehand.
