Do You Trust God Enough to Give?
“‘Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.’”
Malachi 3:10

Ponder This
You’d probably say, “Pastor, I want faith.” But do you really want faith? The truth is your faith will begin to grow when you start seeking growth in God. So, would you like for God to be real to you? Then, God says, “All right, you put me to the test. Prove me.” Being truly rich, however, has nothing to do with money—and everything to do with faith, love, spiritual power, and knowledge. But, if God can’t trust you with ten cents out of a dollar, what makes you think He can trust you with Holy Spirit power? If you haven’t been faithful in your finances, who will give you the true riches as a steward?
When you tithe, you’ll do more with ninety percent and God as a partner than you will ever do with one hundred percent by yourself. You say, “But, Pastor, I’m poor. I know you’re talking to wealthy people, but you’re not talking to the poor people today. Would you tell a little widow on a pension that she ought to tithe?” Of course! If there’s anybody who needs the blessing of God, it’s that little widow on a pension. God doesn’t want her money; He wants her. He wants to bless her. He says, “Come now and trust me. Prove me.” We all need to trust God enough to give to Him, then sit back and watch what He will do.
