Tithes

 

Tithes were introduced by God, established by His Word and executed by the Holy Spirit.
Leviticus 27:30-34 (NKJV)
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD. If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it. And concerning the tithe of the heard of the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD. He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

walletTithes started before the Old Testament Laws.
Genesis 14:18-20 (NKJV)
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.


Tithes teach us to fear the Lord.
Deuteronomy 14:22-23 (NKJV)
You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

indira's homes

• In Phulbani, India

Back In 2005, when MSM was searching for people who will open their hearts and homes in Phulbani, India, Hanna Misra came forward. Since then Hanna has been caring for orphans from the small village of Phulbani.

• In Yerah, Ethiopia

Yerah is a small mountain village in Ethiopia, 530 Km from Adisabbaba. It consists of 500 mud huts which houses 5 to 6 people in each. It has no electricity, running water, and medical facilities.

• In Kenya

In a little village in Kenya, the smoke from burning grass-thatched huts darken the skies. When a home-owner dies and the house is left unattended and abandoned, relatives gather immediately after the burial to destroy the dwelling and all the diseased person's property and belongings for fear of evil spirits inhabiting the abandoned house.

• In Uganda

On August 28, 2006, my husband ministered at Pastor Edwin Ouma's church in Uganda. Pastor Edwin was one of the Ugandan pastors that we met in Mbale during our conference with about 3000 people.
