11. RESULTS OF STOREHOUSE TITHING

What are the results of storehouse tithing?

Again the Scriptures give a definite answer. "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:10).

You often hear people quoting this verse when they pray. They use this verse when praying for various things, but the key to this window is in your pocket or purse. This promise is only to the storehouse tither.

There may be other windows and other blessings we can claim at other times, but this one is particularly for those who "bring ... ALL the tithes into the storehouse." God said, "The storehouse is My house." If language means anything here, it means the church-the place of worship.

Spiritual or Material A lady stood up during a message and asked me, "Is not this blessing He is speaking about a spiritual blessing?"

I answered: "Yes! I do not believe that one can faithfully tithe without receiving a spiritual blessing or an uplift in soul. But I think primarily the blessing referred to in this scripture is a material blessing."

In Malachi 3:11, God says: "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."
