1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
On one occasion a church had thirty members, and all tithed very faithfully. When people came forward for prayer for healing, most of the time they left healed. Over a period of time the church grew to several thousand members. The new people did not have the same vision as the early members, so tithing dropped to thirty percent. Many more were coming forward for healing, but few were being healed. The pastor was accused of losing the anointing of the Lord. He told them the anointing for healing left because most of the people were no longer living in obedience to the Word in their tithing. After teaching on tithing, the people began to change their attitudes toward tithing. Ninety percent of that church are presently tithing, and the power of the Holy Spirit is being demonstrated again.
Prayer Thought
Giving God the leftovers didn’t originate with Old Testament giving habits. If they tithed before Christ came, surely we should at least do as much. Quit tipping God and start tithing and giving God what he deserves.
