Opening The Windows Of Heaven And Rebuking The Devourer

Since I started tithing faithfully in 2002, I have seen God manifesting His faithfulness to me in great dimensions. The sum total of all the tithes I have ever paid since 2002 are a mere fraction of the blessings I have received from God on the account of my tithing. I am the net beneficially. I see people arguing about paying tithe and I pity them because they don’t know what they miss by not engaging on this simple mystery.

Remember that we pay tithes from the blessings God has already given to us not from what we expect to receive. You are not expected to beg or borrow to pay your tithe. You pay tithes from your income. You pay from what has already come in. Never take a loan to pay tithes.

When we pay our tithes, we commit God to open the windows of heaven to shower us with heavenly blessings. These blessings may include, divine favours, divine ideas, divine revelations, physical rain etc.

Anything coming from heaven never leaves the ground the same. Heavenly blessings bring a lot of earthly transformation.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:(Isaiah 55:10)

When you obey God by paying your tithes, you are inviting heavenly blessings which bring profound transformations on earth just as the physical rain does. A man who pays tithe will never lack seeds to sow nor bread to eat.

Secondly, when you obey God and pay your tithe, you enjoy the protection of God from the hands of devourer. There are many devourers including sickness, debts, conmen, robbers, court cases, bad governance etc

“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 3:11)

God has a protection scheme for His children. You only enjoy this benefit as you abide faithfully in the payment of your tithes. When you are disobedient in this, you are never free from minor accidents which end up consuming a lot of your income.

Let me try to paint a picture for you here.
You will be driving your car and you run over nails and get a flat tire; somehow your mechanic will negligent to repair a minor thing in your car and you will have to buy an expensive replacement; you overlook your car battery for some days and discover you have to buy a new one; your children run into minor accidents and you keep spending small and large sums of monies here and there; unexpected guests keep popping in your house wasting both your time and your resources.

By the end of the month you discover you have spent more on this seemingly minor accident and incidents THAN the tithe you would have paid. You end up spending the money you would have used to pay the tithe, plus disobedience fees, to the devil and his agents.

The easiest way to have a “devourers cover” over your resources is paying your tithes. Then you commit God to rebuke the devourer for your sake. It is worth it. Save yourself from trouble. You cannot rob God and get away with it.
