Credit card, electric bill, water, rent, condominium, monthly purchase, children's school ... How to thrive amid so many financial commitments that we must assume when money never yields and save a little to realize that dream is something that seems to be kind of impossible? If this is a repetitive cycle, it is time to reevaluate your faithfulness before the altar of God. In Malachi chapter 3, from verse 6 on, the Bible gives us a precious financial secret: to give tithing back to the Lord.

"Bring all the tithes into the house of the treasure, that there may be food in my house; and prove me in this, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open unto you the windows of heaven, and pour out your blessing beyond measure "(Malachi 3:10).

To obey this teaching is something that demonstrates the content of our character and is a behavior that guarantees many benefits. The Word of God assures us that the devourer will be insured not to steal the seeds that we throw on the earth and they produce the desired fruit, guaranteeing us the sustenance. You were called to be prosperous. You were called to eat, drink and enjoy the best of your work Tell the truth: are you going to work to enrich your boss? You wake up early every day and leave your house saying, "Today I'm going to work because I want to see my rich boss." No. You will work because you have plans, dreams, projects, yearnings, needs. And it is God's promise that by giving back what belongs to Him, He will prosper your resources. This return should not be the result of the surplus when paying all the debts. But be an attitude of faith and honor, being withdrawn from the first fruits of what comes into our hands. Think of me, if I pay you all, by consecrating my tithing, how much will the Lord have to multiply? In all probability, compared to the entire salary, it will be much smaller, perhaps almost nothing. Now, if you give your tithe back first, God will bless a far greater importance. You understand? God gives us the measure we are willing to give back, to honor him. Be faithful and prove the best in your finances. God bless your day!
