“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns
be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9, 10).
“And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the
fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that
the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest” (Deuteronomy
14:29).
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before
the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a
delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 3:10-12).
“Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth
to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap
life everlasting” (Galatians 6:6-8).
“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
But I have all, and
abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of
a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:17-19).
