My tithing journey (A thread)
If your conviction is to tithe. Please do it. I trust the Holy Spirit to lead us all into the truth. I& #39;m not gonna try convince anyone of anything. God can do a better job at that than me.

However, this is my take on it. I think the issue is not tithing itself. It& #39;s obedience. Since tithing is a heart thing. Money is one of the strongest grippers & corrupters of the human heart. That& #39;s why it& #39;s controversial.
I caught myself trying to convince myself not to tithe for a whole year and all the time I knew deep in my heart that the real reason was that I didn& #39;t want to give my money

I& #39;m being honest.

Guys I searched the scriptures trying to back up my argument. That time I knew in my heart I was being wildly disobedient because I just couldn& #39;t shake the conviction that I had in my spirit that I need to tithe. I didn& #39;t have peace in my little rebellion at all.
That period of time exposed my heart. It wasn& #39;t even about the scriptural references about tithing anymore. I had a resounding conviction in my heart that I was rebelling against for reasons that were messed up and I also realized that I did not trust God like I thought I did.
Personally, there many reasons why I believe I ought to tithe. Reasons additional to what the Bible says. I think even without the likes of Malachi 3:10 I& #39;d still do it. Any rewards or blessings coming from that are far from my mind. Obedience the best reward...
I tithe mainly for these reasons:
1. It& #39;s one more way for me to bring my heart in submission to Christ.
2. It& #39;s one more way to express my gratitude to God.
3. It& #39;s one more way to surrender myself.
4. It& #39;s one more way to put Jesus first as the Lord of my life.

5. Lastly, it& #39;s also an extra way to discipline my flesh & keep it in check. This is just me though . God will reveal to you what you ought to do if you really want to know. But if your heart is hardened about this topic, you won& #39;t be open to recieve what God is saying to you.
So whatever you believe about tithing, check your heart. Make sure that belief is not coming from a place of rebellion. Seek God & enquire for yourself. He& #39;s not stingy with wisdom (James 1). Seek to be obedient, not to just be right.
