Joshua Boyd
Jesus, our High Priest, the one designated to give a sacrifice for the people, is from a line of succession in Melchizedek. Like Melchizedek, Jesus receives the tithes and He blesses. There is a blessing that only comes when you tithe. It is a blessing of protection and provision.
Malachi 3:6-10
These are strong words from the Lord through His prophet: cheated God! Under a curse because you are not tithing? The purpose of the tithe is to honor the Lord. To return to him what belongs to him and to give of ourselves in offerings to honor Him even more. When we honor God, it allows him to honor us, bless us and protect us.
King James says “I will rebuke the devourer”. God will stop the enemy from taking from you and destroying your stuff, your livelihood, your work. That protection only comes to those who tithe.
