The Tithes Belong To God

«Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test.» Malachi 3:10 (ESV)

Everything belongs to God. You, your dad and your mom belong to God. Everything that you own belongs to God.

God asks that we return to Him a tenth part of everything we receive. The tenth part is the tithe. If you earn ten dollars, you should divide this amount into ten parts and separate one part for Jesus. The part that belongs to Jesus, you should put in an envelope and take it to church. There, it will be added to the tithes of other people, so that the church can pay the salaries of those who preach the gospel.

The remaining nine parts will be yours to use wisely.

People who are faithful to God are very blessed. It doesn’t matter whether they earn a little or a lot, God will give them wisdom to use well what belongs to them.

Let’s practice!

Ask your mom for ten coins and separate the tithe.
