OWNERSHIP5 - Tithing

Tithing is for us

Many say “Tithing is just a part of the law. Not for us.”

Tithing was hundreds of years before the law

Abraham:

Genesis 14:18–20 KJV 1900

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Genesis 14:18 KJV 1900

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

Taba Shalemkaa raajaa Melkisedek roTi ra daakhamag liera aae; Ani tini sarbochcha Parameswarkaa pujaahari thie. Ani tinle unlaai aashirbaad diera bhane: “Swarga ra prithbikaa maalik sarbochha Parameswarko tarpha-baaTa Abraam dhanyakaa houn! Ani sarbachha Parameswar dhanyakaa houn, jasle tapaaikaa shatru-haru-laai tapaaiko haatmaa sumpi-dinu-bhayo.” Ani Abraamle tinlaai sabai thokharuko sashaau an’sha die.

Jacob:

Genesis 28:22 KJV 1900

And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Ani yo dungaa, jaslaai maile khaa’bojhai khadaa gareko chhu, Parameswarko ghar baninechha; Ani tapaaile maile je dinuhunechha, ti sabvaiko dashaau bhaag ma nishchaya tyapaai-laai dinechhu.”

Tithing was commanded after the law

Law = from Moses to John the Baptist

John 1:17 KJV 1900

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Kinabhane Moshaa-duaaraa byabasthaa diieko thiyo, tara anugraha ra satyataa-chaahi’ Yeshu KhrishT-duaaraa aae.

Luke 16:16 KJV 1900

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Byabasthaa ra bhabishyabaktaa-haru Yuhannaa-samma rahe; Tyas samaya-dekhi Parameswarko raakyako susamaachaar prachaar bhaeko chha, ra harek maanis yas-bhitra jor lagaaera pasdachha.

Jesus commanded people to tithe:

Luke 11:42 KJV 1900

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Tara pharisiharuho, timiharulaai chhikkaar! Kinabhane timiharu pudinaa, sudaaba ra sabai prakaarkaa saagapaat-kaa dasaau a’sha dinchhaau, tara tyaaya ra Paramesarko premlaai baastaa gardainaau; Yi kuraa-haru-laai timi-haru-le garnai-parthyo.

In the law

After the law

There is great danger in not tithing

Malachi 3:8–9 KJV 1900

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, Even this whole nation.

Malachi 3:8 KJV 1900

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Ke maanisle Parameswarlaai luTchha ra? Taipani timiharule malaai luTekaa chhaau; Tara timiharu bhanchhaau: ‘Kun kuraamaa haamile tapaailai luTekaa chhaau?’ Dasaau’ a’sgaa-hary ra bheti-haru-maa. 9 Timiharu shraap-le shraapit bhaekaa chhaau’ Kinaki timiharule malaai luTekaa chhaau - a’, yas sampurna jaatile nai.

God’s curse affects us in many ways:

Deuteronomy 28:15–19 KJV 1900

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

Tara yasto hunechha - ParamPrabhu aaphnaa Parameswarkaa sabai aagyaaharu ra uhaakaa bidhi-haru, jo aajaa ma timilaai aagyaa gardachhu, hoshiyaar-saath paalan garnakaa nimti timile uhaako sor dyaan-sit sunenaau bhane yi sabai shraap-haru timi-maathi aaiparnechhan, ra timilaai bheThThaaunechhan; 16 Timi Shaharmaa shraapit hunechhaau, ra timi khetabaari-maa shraapit hunechhaau. 17 Timro Daalo ra timro piTho muchhne aari shraapit hunechhan. 18 Timro sharirako phal, timro jaminko phal, timro gaai-bastu-ko briddhi ra timro bheDaa-baakhraa-haru-ko bagaal shraapit hunechhan. 19 Bhitra aau’daa timi shraapit hunechhaau, ra baahira jaa’daa timi shraapit hunechhaau.

There is great blessing in tithing

Malachi 3:10 KJV 1900

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.

Sabaai dasaau’ a’sha-haru bhanDaar-ghar-bhitra lyaao, ra mero bhavanamaa bhojana rahos! Ani aba yaso garera malaai jaa’chera hera, timi-harukaa nimti swargakaa jhyaal-haru kholera ma timiharu-mathi thaau’ nai nahune gahi aashish barshaau-chhu ki barsaau’-dina’, senaa-haruko ParamPrabhu bhannuhunchha.

God will rebuke the devourer

Malachi 3:11 KJV 1900

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.

Ani ma timiharukaa nimti khaai-dine-laai hapkaau-ne-chhu, ra tyasle timiharuko jamin-ko phal naash garne-chhaina, na taa baari-maa timiharuko daakha-ko boT-le samaya napugdai aaphno phal jharnechha, senaaharuko ParamPrabhu bhannuhunchha.

You will learn to fear the Lord

Deuteronomy 14:22–23 KJV 1900

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

Barshapichhe khet-baari-le ubjaaeko timro biuko sabai ubjani-baaTa timi-le nischaya nai dasaau’ a’sha dinu! 23 Timro annako, timro daakharas-ko ra timro tel-ko dasaau’ a’sha, saathai timraa gaai-bastu-haru-kaa ra timraa bhedaa-baakhraa-harukaa pahile janmekaa-haru timile tyas Thaau’-maa ParamPrabhu aaphnaa Parameswarko saamu saanu, jun Thaau’ uhaa’le tyahaa’ aaphno naam rakhnakaa nimti bhunnuhunechha; Phalaswarup timile ParamPrabhu aaphnaa Parameswarko sadaai’-bhari dhar maatra sikna sak.

You will learn to count your blessings

Leviticus 27:32 KJV 1900

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

Ani bhai-bastu-ko, baa bheDaa-baakhraa-ko sabai dasaau’ a’sha arthaat ganti garne luTThi-mani-baata chhirera jaane harek dasaau-chahi’ ParamPrabhukaa nimti pabitra Thahairnechha.

Your Choice:

Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV 1900

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Ma aaja swarga ra prithbilaai timiharuko birodhmaa saakshi raakhdachhu, ki maile timro samu jiban ra mrityu, aashish ra shraap rakhidieko chhu; Yaskaaran jiban chun, taba timi jiunechhaau - timi ra timraa santaan;
