Tithes before Taxes

Time and again, taxes are defined as the lifeblood of the Government and their prompt and certain availability are an imperious need. Without taxes, the government would be paralyzed. Revenues derived from taxes are intended primarily to finance the government and its activities and are thus exempt from execution.

Tax differs from license fee. Tax is imposed to raise revenue for public use. It is paid after income is earned and non-payment of it does not make the business illegal. While license fee is imposed for the regulation of lawful business or occupation in the exercise of police power of the state. It is paid at the start of the business and non-payment thereof makes the business illegal.

But please pay your ten percent (10%) tithe before taxes. We need to pay our tithe on the GROSS INCOME and not on the net income. As soon as you receive money, remember the storehouse which is the local or internet church you attend where you get fed spiritually; consider the needs of your beloved pastors, ministers and the church servants.

Bear in mind, that we rob God when we do not give the tithe because that ten percent of your income belongs to the Lord. Hence, we need to return to God what is His. Kindly reflect on the following passage:

Malachi 3:8

⁸ "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
"But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'
"In tithes and offerings."

GIVE 10% OF YOUR GROSS INCOME BUT GIVE 100% OF YOUR HEART!
