Reasons and uses of the Tithes

Deutronomy 14:23" " And thou shalt eat before the lord thy GOD,   in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithes of thy corn, of thy wine,  and thine oil,  and the firstlingd of thy herds and of thy flocks: that thou mayest  learn to fear the LORD  thy GOD  always. "

You shalt eat  before the LORD thy GOD, this is a commandment,  "You shalt eat" you are commanded to eat, this tithes of substances and farm produce. If you don't eat them the gets spoiled and rotten.  GOD doesn't like wastages.
What are you to Eat ?
The Tithes of thy corn,  of thy wine,  and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks. After,  bringing all the substances to the house or place GOD  has chosen. The substances are to be cooked there, by each households. The animals  shalt be slaughtered by the priests, and washed accordingly, the meat then seasoned and boiled. After, it's cooked, the priests comes and fetched from the pots, using long forks of beaten brass used in the temple. The followed by the orphans, widows and strangers.  Then the people all worshipped and began to eat cheerfully, joyously and great rejoicing. In am atmosphere of love,  brotherliness and a greatful heart.

This practice is similiar to what the Catholic church does annually,  called Harvests and Bazaars.

Reasons and Use of Tithing 02

Then the B part Deutronomy 14:22b" that the field bringeth forth year by year" .

The field represents the farmland, or your workshop, or your office, or the marketplace, or your home,  or wherever you do your business. The business must be a legit, it should be among the acursed things. Acurse things here includes all proffession,occupation and service rendered for and in exchange for rewards or remuneration.

Bringeth forth: means what was harvested from the field, what do you get from your livestocks,what was harvested from your wine plantation,what was your harvests from the fish farm. This refers in business arena,to the Turnover of your business, or your total sales incomes. You salaries,your fees, your bill-charges, your cash rewards and compensations,among others.

Year by year: means annually (twelve months period), beginning from the month of the farming season to the period of harvests,note that the (the period of harvest might not be at the last month of the year neither will it coincide with the time that the LORD GOD has set for the gatherings and presentations ). For instance, harvest might be in the tenth to eleventh month, while the month for the gatherings might also be in the eleventh month or twelve month.
Now for salary earners, it has to be done monthly, or every fortnight as the case maybe, before consolidating it annually if you want to. While for business,it should be daily set aside into accounts or weekly consolidations and remittance.

Reasons and Uses of Tithes 01

Deutronomy 14:22,says "Thou shall truly tithes all the increase of thy seed" . The word  "Thou  shalt " connotes the existence  a of Commandment,an instruction,you can also it an Order. Because it is same as the Ten Commandments of "Thou shalt ". Therefore,i concludes that, Tithing is a Commandment given by GOD.

The word "truly" requires that one should accurately calculate the 10% of all that, which needs to be redeemed. Not 9.999%, you could make it, 10.5555% instead.  Because 9.999% is no longer tithes,and won't be recorded as such.
Truly,also implies that you make adequate provisions for safe delivery.
Truly,includes that you don't give substance that is bad and of poor quality like,like Cain.
Truly, requires that you give unto GOD, the best and the most valued of your produce.

Tithes means 10% of  all substance, Tithes means 10% of products of your own handwork,excluding that of others.(you don't use other people's sweat to pay tithes,pay all your labourers and workers,before paying your tithes) 
Tithes means a Holy offering or gifts unto the LORD.Tithes is Love for the brotherhood of GOD. Tithes also  means Love for the house of GOD.

All the Increase, implies all the profits. And profits is the additional or positive  difference between investment and dividends. In this case, we can say seedlings, fertilizer, labour,less from harvest. Or Turnover less cost of sales/doing business. Or total sales incomes less cost of operations.

 Seeds,here is the seedlings used for the planting, the fertilizers applied, the labour imputs and cost of logistics (this could be optional, depending on the distance from the place appointed by GOD). Or initial capital investment,including harvest where neccassary.

Reasons for and Uses of Tithes

The beginning of tithing as a commandments can be found in the book of Deutronomy 14:22-29
" 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, pan of thinr oil, and the first lings of thy herds and of thy flocks: that though mayest learn to fear the LORD thy GOD
"and if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, or if the place be too far from there, which the LORD thy god shall choose to set HIS name there, when the LORD  thy GOD  hath blessed thee.
"Then shalt thou turn it into money,and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go into the place which the LORD thy god shall choose:
"And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth:and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy GOD, and thou shalt rejoice, thou,  and thine household.
"And the Levites that is within thy gates: thou shalt not forsake him :for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
"At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithes of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
"And the Levites ,(because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee)  and the stranger,  and the fatherless , and the widows,  which are within  thy gates,  shall  come , and shall eat and be satisfied : that the LORD thy GOD may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."

Tithing 03

Continue for previous page. When you computes the cost of outgoings and incomes, you will agree that without payment of tithes, the difference  between the out-going and incomes will bridge from the tithes incomes. Therefore, common sensically,it is advantagious to pay tithes, in order to keep the church system running.

The some argue that it's only for farm products, but because then they are all into farming,  Farming and farm related activities were the main occupation those days. But even at that the people of Israel were commanded to sell and bring money to the house of GOD. You can see that in Deutronomy 14:25.  The priests and the confirms the benefits of offerings and tithes in II chronicles 31:10-12. This things are pleasing to the LORD of Hosts.


TITHING 03

04 Continued
The Church spent so much to conduct services. For the instance, a church spent N1,200,000.00 (that is 40 buses @ N30,000.00 per day to cover about 40 people) cover on free transport for members per week,spent money on toileteries and hygiene is about N50,000.00,the diesel expenses per service is N500,000.00, maintenance on sound system before each service is about N100,000.00,money spent on welfare per service  and ministrations to widows and less privileged could be up to N500,000.00. Other accommodation, logistics and entertainment cost for visitors per week about N200,000.00. Altar  decorations Cost per week could be N40,000.00. Church building services charges and  maintenance  per month could be N350,000.00 etc.

Now consider average attendance of 5,000 to 7,000 attendance and assumed that each pay an offering of N300.00 to N500.00 averagely per person. You will agree that the would closed down without Tithes.
