Even Rappers Tithe

If we look up the definition of 'tithe' in the dictionary,
it says that it is "to give a tenth part of something
paid as a voluntary contribution".

Are we then 'tithing' to charities, or to our church,
or to others?

Whether it is 10 percent or 1 percent, whatever you decide to give,
it is a personal question.
And only God can judge/see our true hearts and intentions.

As even in the bible it says in 2 Corinthians 9:7...
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart,
not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver."

However, there is something to be said about
being generous, and how much comes back to you.

As it says in the bible...
In Luke 6:38, 
"Give, and it will be given to you.
Good measure, pressed down, shaken together,
running over, will be put into your lap.
For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."

And...

Proverbs 3:9-10
"Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits
of all your produce;
then your barns will be filled with plenty."

And amazingly, the word of God encourages you to "test"
this principle called tithing too!
Malachi 3:10...
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse,
that there may be food in my house.
And thereby "put me to the test", says the Lord of hosts,
if I will not open the windows of heaven for you
and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

Its a pretty cool concept.

Basically, the more generous we are, God sees this,
and ensures that whatever we give to others will be returned
to us in a supernatural way.

But it may be a little conceited 'expect' to receive when you give though...
just "have faith" that God will work things out eventually.
As nothing you give ever goes unnoticed. :)

Even secular rappers know about this amazing biblical
concept called tithing.

Here's an interview with a Secular Rapper LL Cool J
and TD Jakes about how giving to others
will be returned back to us- in God's perfect timing.

Enjoy! And happy tithing! :)
