INTRODUCTION

Tithe is the practice of giving one tenth of one’s income to the church to support the general operation and mission of the church. For the daily running of a church, funds are needed, and funds can be generated by the leadership of the church when donations are given by members of that church. Tithe is one of the ways to support the growth of a church. Churches like other organizations require funds to operate and funds can be gotten from tithe and offering given by members of the church. Tithing helps the church to be actively involved in helping the less-privileged people around. God commanded tithing and when one tithes, it brings honor to God. Tithing honors the scriptural principles of generously provided things needed in the church and laying up treasures in heaven. In the Old Testament, God commissioned the tribe of the Levi to serve by caring for the tabernacle and providing spiritual leadership for the nation of Israel, God instructed the Levi not to be given any inheritance because of this great commission while the rest of the Israelites were instructed to bring tithes of their increase to provide for the priests and Levites. In the New Testament, Jesus mentioned the practice of tithing in Matthew 23:23. Paul also admonished the Christians to give to those in need and to those who were ministering in the gospel. Tithing helps us to remind ourselves that all resources belong to God and are provided through the grace of God.
