Biblical GIVING in simple words. Tithe/Giving is 10% of your Talents, Time, and Treasures. Offerings is anything other than that.
An obvious manifestation of Gods heart and mind as a follower of Jesus is the virtue of Generosity (in all aspects of lifetime, talent and treasures). A Christian Life – at its best is a life of worship (our life as a worship offering to the Lord). Tithes is the number one worship offering of our patriarchs of the faith in the Old Testament – to God Almighty.
Jesus’ teachings on giving is a holistic approach than tithes in that the Lord teaches about giving our whole life for the Kingdom of God. At its best – that includes our treasures/money and whole life, dead to things of this world and living for His kingdom (aka- Christ centered).
God the Father Almighty gave it all, so that we will be reconciled unto him by sending Jesus to us. He was born human yet, sinless as a God son, one with the Father. He ministered to us – then died on the cross for all of our sins to become our one and only savior, so that we can receive all of Heavens blessings.
The goals of Tithe/Giving are either a worship offering or due to need in your life. Whatever is your goal, it is important that you give with a FAITH decree or declarations to make it work in your life. Give a purpose to your giving to make it work as it is meant to be. Open Heaven blessings, Favor and Protection are the ultimate ones and this will happen when your intimacy with the Lord is permanently at the Third Heaven level.
