READ: Hebrews 7:1-10
“…neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.” – Malachi 3:11
Often the causes of a failed harvest are beyond the power of the person experiencing the failed harvest. Why does a Mexican earn so little for his efforts compared to his fellow human being five miles across the border in America? Why is it that the fellow on American soil puts in the same amount of time and effort as a Mexican but earns nineteen times more?
The causes and solutions of this dilemma are beyond an individual’s ability to correct. But God Almighty promises the tither that He will prevent the harvest from falling unceremoniously to the ground. He will not allow your fruits to fall before the harvest time.
Is it any wonder that tithing is a major key to real prosperity? Are you surprised that non-tithers can become poorer by keeping ten percent of their income away from God?
What can you do without the help of God? How far can you go if God does not help you? It is time to begin tithing so that your profits will not be cast to the ground before you can enjoy them.
“And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 3:11-12, Amplified Bible).
