Payment of tithe is a must for a true child of God for He commands it (Malachi 3:10). Christians do not have to be cajoled before they respond to this call because payment of tithe is an act of obedience.

The question if Jesus was ever disobedient answers that as Christians, we must obey God always.

Blessings follow obedience, so also, blessings follow tithing (Deuteronomy 28:1-2; Malachi 3:8-12).

Payment of tithes without righteousness attracts NO blessing but curses. Jesus established this in Matthew 23:23;

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.”

God demands TOTAL obedience from
us.

If a man is faithful in paying tithes and things are not as they should be, let such examine himself (1 Corinthians 13:5) and repent of evil ways.

Righteousness + Tithing => Blessings

Shalom!

Tithing is personal decision and should not be a yardstick to measure one's fidelity to God. I know folks who are Atheists that are generously donating their time, skill and funds to causes run by missionaries.

Tithing goes with righteousness and a pure heart. Some people think of God as a man who would be moved by material things.

The question is; is their generosity accepted by God?

Anything attached to God's work must be accepted by Him.

Thank you.

God is in a better position to answer that! A good chunk of finances used in providing child health care in Africa come from donors who are not even Christians!

Maybe because one is an Atheist, if he or she donates medical equipments to a needy hospital run by a Christian organization it should be rejected for it is better patients die than use the medical equipments to save their lives because it is not "accepted by God"?

I'm happy that you made this statement.

I'm not here to judge anyone, but to tell other Christians that they should pay their tithe in holiness.
