Grow in the Fear of the Lord
The tithe is 10% of your income, and it should be given to God faithfully. Offerings differs from tithe unlike tithing which has a required amount of how much you should give, offering are more of a free will. It's up to you how much you want to give. The bible says the source of your spiritual food should receive offerings. Tithing honors the scriptural principles of generously providing for religious leaders, giving to those in need, and laying up treasures in heaven. Throughout the scripture, we are encouraged to give the first part of our resources to God as an expression of honour and gratitude. Study the book of proverb 3:9-10
The practice of tithing provides a regular reminder of your dependence on God. In good times, tithing helps you remember that God is the source of all blessings, and it allows you to demonstrate your gratitude for His care. In hard times, tithing motivates you to remember God’s faithfulness, and it enables you to demonstrate trust in God to provide for all of your needs.
In Deuteronomy 14:22–23, God instructed the Israelites: “Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed . . . . of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.” Whatever your current situation, tithing is a key to learning to live in the fear of God.
