3 John 12
 2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth.
26
Deuteronomy 818
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God for
it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant which he sware
unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
27
Psalm 1121-3
 1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that
feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his
commandments.  2His seed shall be mighty upon
earth the generation of the upright shall be
blessed.  3Wealth and riches shall be in his
house and his righteousness endureth for ever.
28
Matthew 811
If your child asks for bread, do you trick him
with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare
him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you
are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're
at least decent to your own children. So don't
you think the God who conceived you in love will
be even better?
29
How do you treat your kids?

Genesis 1420
20 And blessed be God Most High,        who
delivered your enemies into your hand."
      Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
32
Leviticus 2730-33
30-33 "A tenth of the land's produce, whether
grain from the ground or fruit from the trees, is
God's. It is holy to God. If a man uses any of
the tenth he is to have given, he must add twenty
percent to it. A tenth of the entire herd and
flock, every tenth animal that passes under the
shepherd's rod, is holy to God. He is not
permitted to pick out the good from the bad or
make a substitution. If he dishonestly makes a
substitution, both animals, the original and the
substitute, become the possession of the
Sanctuary and cannot be redeemed."
33
Hebrews 78
8 And here men that die receive tithes but there
he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that
he liveth.

• What is tithing?
• What is it for?

35
Numbers 1825-29
25-29 God spoke to Moses "Speak to the Levites.
Tell them, When you get the tithe from the People
of Israel, the inheritance that I have assigned
to you, you must tithe that tithe and present it
as an offering to God. Your offerings will be
treated the same as other people's gifts of grain
from the threshing floor or wine from the wine
vat. This is your procedure for making offerings
to God from all the tithes you get from the
People of Israel give God's portion from these
tithes to Aaron the priest. Make sure that God's
portion is the best and holiest of everything you
get.
36
Nehemiah 1243-44
43Also that day they offered great sacrifices,
and rejoiced for God had made them rejoice with
great joy the wives also and the children
rejoiced so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard
even afar off.  44And at that time were some
appointed over the chambers for the treasures,
for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for
the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields
of the cities the portions of the law for the
priests and Levites for Judah rejoiced for the
priests and for the Levites that waited.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now

a blessing, that there shall not be room enough

for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Matthew 61-4
1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men,
to be seen of them otherwise ye have no reward
of your Father which is in heaven.  2Therefore
when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a
trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that they may have
glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.  3But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth
 4That thine alms may be in secret and thy
Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward
thee openly.
56
How to do it

• Pay God first!

James 16-7
 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.  7 For let not
that man think that he shall receive any thing of
the Lord.
58
Luke 638
Give, and it shall be given unto you good
measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and

you out a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it.
