Hebrews 7 vs 1,2,12
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
- Abraham was the first tither.
- He gave a tenth of his possessions to a priest called King Melchisedec.
- If you read those verses carefully, you will understand that King Melchisedec was a symbol of Christ.
- King Melchisedec was described as a king of peace, and we all know there is only one king of peace: Jesus Christ.
- Therefore, Abraham paid tithe to a priest even before the Lord.
- There has always been a debate about whether to pay tithe or not, and either tithe has been cancelled in the new testament.
- Though, the tithe was a law of the old testament. Tithing started before Mosaic law.
- Though it can be argued that every Mosaic law was cancelled when Christ came to the word, we can say that even before Moses was given law, Abraham paid tithe.
- If we do not have a problem paying taxes to the government, why should we have a problem contributing to the kingdom of God?
- You have many advantages when you pay your tithe.
- I pray the Lord gives you the spirit to be a giver to the kingdom of God.
- You shall be a blessing unto others in Jesus’ name.
- The devourer shall not penetrate your income in Jesus’ name. Amen.
