About this ebook
Christian Giving
How to Tithe & Give Offerings
For churches to grow and accomplish what God has for us to accomplish, we must have some foundational truths established.
Churches must focus on Christ Jesus because nothing can be accomplished except through Christ.
Churches must become a witness for Christ because the devil is defeated by the blood of the lamb (Jesus) and the word of our testimony.
Churches must establish intercessory prayer because nothing can be accomplished if we do not have the proper prayer covering.
Churches must worship because Praise and Worship is a weapon of our warfare against the works of the devil.
Now it is time to look at our giving. God will build the house but he will do it through the offerings of his people. For the people to be blessed financially, they must receive the commandments of the Lord about giving.
Just like we want to do everything else we do in church as God directs, we want our giving to line up with God’s commandments.
This book will explore what the Bible says about giving both in the Old Testament and New Testament.
It is my desire that this book leaves you blessed and educated about the things of God.
