YOUR PARTNER
In an equal partnership, how are the profits usually
divided? 50/50, right?

5. How to be a Faithful Manager of God’s TREASURES...…….......3.5
=======================================================
God has always claimed only 10% of the profits, or a
tithe.
The tithe is 10% of your gross (monthly/weekly)
income (before taxes).
That is all the money that comes to you from any
source. Whether salary, allowance, or gifts from
abroad, any inheritance, or goods received.
A. TITHING __________ THE LAW
Genesis 14:20 “And blessed be God Most High, who
delivered your enemies into your hand." Then
Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
Genesis 28:22 “and this stone that I have set up as a
pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give
me I will give you a tenth.“
Abraham and Jacob were both abundantly blessed by
God. Gen. 13:2, 5, 6 ; Genesis 30:43
B. TITHING __________ THE TIME OF LAW
The Children of Israel, according to the law, were
required to give three tithes to the Lord:

Numbers 18:21 "I give to the Levites all the tithes in
Israel as their inheritance in return for the work
they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting.”

=======================================================
2 Chronicles 31:5 “As soon as the order went out,
the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their
grain, new wine, oil and honey and all that the
fields produced. They brought a great amount, a
tithe of everything.”
Nehemiah 10:37 "Moreover, we will bring to the
storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests,
the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings,
of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and
oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the
Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in
all the towns where we work.”
The second tithe was a yearly tithe of the harvest
____________. It was designated for expenses
during feast days.
Deuteronomy 14:22-23 “Be sure to set aside a tenth
of all that your fields produce each year. (23) Eat
the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the
firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence
of the LORD your God at the place he will choose
as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn
to revere the LORD your God always.”
The third tithe was for the ______ and the _______.
It was given once every three years.
Deuteronomy 14:28-29 At the end of every three
years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce
and store it in your towns, (29) so that the Levites
(who have no allotment or inheritance of their

=======================================================
own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the
widows who live in your towns may come and eat
and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God
may bless you in all the work of your hands.
WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT THE
PERSON WHO WILL NOT TITHE?
Malachi 3:8-12
 The curse comes because of _____________.
 Disobedience always brings a __________
(chastisement).
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “See, I am setting before
you today a blessing and a curse—(27) the
blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD
your God that I am giving you today; (28) the
curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD
your God and turn from the way that I command
you today by following other gods, which you
have not known.”
Lord Jesus Christ ______ tithes and
offerings
First: Jesus declared He came to ________ the Law
and the Prophets.
Matthew 5:17-18 "Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come
to abolish them but to fulfill them. (18) I tell you
the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not

=======================================================
the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen,
will by any means disappear from the Law until
everything is accomplished.
Second: Jesus, at the age of 12 years, attended the
__________ at Jerusalem. The family gave their
Festival Tithe which they used for expenses while
in God's place of worship.
Luke 2:41-42 “Every year his parents went to
Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. (42)
When he was twelve years old, they went up to
the Feast, according to the custom.”
Third: Christ's enemies found no _______ in Him of
which they might accuse Him.
Matthew 22: 19-21 “Show me the coin used for
paying the tax." They brought him a denarius,
(20) and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this?
And whose inscription?" (21) "Caesar's," they
replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar
what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
What was Jesus saying but, "pay your taxes; pay your
tithe".
Fourth: He personally _________ and insisted that
tithing was just as important as other moral laws.
Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law
and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of
your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have
neglected the more important matters of the law--

9. How to be a Faithful Manager of God’s TREASURES...…….......3.9
=======================================================
justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have
practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
CHRISTIANS MUST FOLLOW JESUS
If we are to follow Jesus, that simply means that if He
practiced the giving of the tithe, we must do the
same.
In John 10:27
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me"
MORE BLESSINGS: in Malachi 3:9-12
With the tenth given to Him, God promised the
following blessings:
1. Curse removed (v. 9)
2. Windows of heaven opened and blessings
poured with no more room to receive (v. 10)
3. Devourers rebuked (v. 11)
4. Testimony established (v. 12)
5. Become a delightsome land (v. 12)
