Genesis 28 vs 20 -22

20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:

22 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.

  2. Jacob vowed to give God a tithe even when God had not given the ten commandments.
  3. Jacob vowed to give God a tithe prophetically through a personal revelation.

It will be a time of joyous celebration, honoring the One Who came to give us eternal life and worshipping our Heavenly Father.
