Obedience opens opportunities for much blessing. The windows of heaven are
opened to those who Tithe. If God seems remote from you at this time, think
about your giving! Malachi 3:8 speaks about God being robbed. The people were
not giving Him what they were commanded to. He says they were cursed because
they had robbed Him. It was like a blight upon their lives, mildew on their
crops.
God's work needs the blessing of our finances. We are to provide meat
for His house; finance for the kingdom to be increased and the Good News to be
preached. It all costs money! God challenges us to prove Him through our giving.
He says that He will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that we
cannot contain? Mal 3:10 That is an amazing statement!
He also promised to
rebuke the devourer. Their land would yield good crops. The pests and diseases
would not cause the harvest to fail. They would have plenty in their barns if
they put food into God's barn. It was in His interests to bless them, because as
they had increase so also His house had increase, because they gave to
Him.
'Bring ALL the tithes into the storehouse, and prove me now, says the
Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out so
much blessing, that you will not have room enough for it. And I will rebuke the
devourer for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground'.
Malachi 3:10,11
