Tithing Was a Law For Who? Pt.1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- In this comprehensive 5-part series, we will delve deep into the concept of tithing. It's a topic that often sparks debate, but it's important to understand that tithing was originally a law intended for a specific group of people-the children of Israel-and not meant for the New Testament church. Through this series, my aim is to meticulously outline the protocols and laws of tithing, shedding light on the misconceptions that have arisen in modern-day church teachings.

You are wrong sir first of all Abraham was not an Isrealite or a jew yet he paid tithes. SECONDLY Melchizedec was not a levite also they were before Israel sowas it wrong for Melchizedec to collect Tithes? I await your response.
Brother you are the preacher. The postal service did me goofy again. This time it was the postage. You
Deserve better than that
Ooh testimony; I've got about the usual amount of money this month but I'm doing better financially than I have in ten years
@@CH-ud4ee oh my brother. Loók down there at my testimony. God is doing the teach ing
I think the bottom line is it you want to prosper in God's economy don't be shrewed with God and give by a fixed carnal number. It's old testament. We've been robbed
I don't have any problems if people want to give tithes, but what bothers me, is the church hoarding money, getting rich, when their members and the very community they are in are suffering.
Yes!
So true Shelly!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏽
Exactly.
Precisely
Great teaching! I realize that I still have a lot more of the Bible to read and study. I no longer give the tithe but I give freely according to what God puts on my heart to give and I have been very blessed! More blessed than when I was only giving the 10% tithe. We limit ourselves when we only give the tenth, under the new covenant we should be giving even more than that and blessing not only the church but people who are in need all around us. I also believe that giving doesn’t have to be financial only. We can give clothes, cook meals for people, run errands for someone, etc. There are so many things you can do to help people that doesn’t involve money. The church puts too much emphasis on the money only. Some people do not not have stable income and may not be able to be faithful tithers and they are left feeling condemned and “cursed with a curse” because that message is so often preached in the church. Christ came to set us free! 🙏🏼
Absolutely 💯 agree with you my dear
Yes love sister ...i stopped following many preachers and decided to ,read the Bible on my own ,asking GOD to give me the HOLY SPIRIT for direction then ,I was like in new testament is give without limit give as much as u can ,for GOD loves a cheerful giver ...HE gives us more why give only 10% ...and am so blessed now through giving more.
Well said Tania Lacombe, I could not have said it better!
That was a whole message. I will cashapp your offering. (just kidding about the offering)
Char Mariah lol! 😂
This teaching needs to go viral cos there are some good pastors who are confused about tithing they think if you don't tithe you are stealing from God. Thanks brother Kevin God bless.
No body is confused about tithing, it's you that does not want to read the bible, my people are perished for lack of knowledge, Hosea 4 vs 6,
Go and read Galatians 3 vs 13 and 14, and interpret it to yourself, He is teaching that we should take bible teachings which is the word of God by the context they were spoken, it means we the Gentiles should not use the books of psalms and proverbs because they were not address to us .is that the teachings we should take seriously.
@@SecretPlaceOTMH64 , sir, tithing is nowhere in the New Testament. In the New Testament are the offerings as help gathered by Sha'ul for the saints. So sorry, you can give ( or not) how much you want, over 10 percent, under 10 percent, but with open heart , to anyone in need and not necessarily in a building named church. Go and give to a poor man or to someone who need money for treatment or for his child / children. Don't forget and buy some food even for a dog or a cat from the street. Then, you can sleep well because you helped someone.
Shalom
I agree. Poverty of the people is a curse
Edgar you are very uptight about this topic. Which God do you serve "mammon"
@@SecretPlaceOTMH64 Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles( Romans 11:13) said give purposeth in your heart, not grudgingly nor of necessity (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Give as God prospered you (1 Corinthian 16:1-2). 1 Peter 5:2 we are told not to give by constraint. As a Christian you can give more than 10%. The Church is not under the law , it is under Grace…
DISCLAIMER: Kevin did not say not to pay tithes , please listen with an open ear this teaching will bless you 🙏🏽
Black_Esther hi I hope your well? Not sure if you miss read my comment ? I said Kevin did Not say Not to give tithes. He’s teaching us why we should not but because of the negative comments he receives I’m reiterating that he did not say you should give tithes ( paraphrased what he said in his message)
Nicola Waugh Got it. Thx
Sheila Phillip no worries. I actually stated to think that I made a mistake. Don’t want to say wrong things on this platform
The truth nothing like paying tithes in Christ..just use the one give, paying its like taking the cross of Christ who paid it for granted, for the bible says the cross Is foolishness to those perishing
Lol but he didn't say to do it either !! I stoped pay years ago because i couldn't pay them. it was starve and pay. I was tired so i said God if you gonna curse me then i guess i will be cursed cause im tired of not eating. Long story short the lord said why would i curse you for not having money to pay. I never seen anyone that was poor get blessed off of tithing. I started being blessed off of obeying the lord when he spoke to me to do something. I remember when the lord said give ten percent when you get to church. I said ok when i got out of church my car stoped in the middle of on coming traffic i scream Jesus because i could see cars flying around the corner. I heard the spirit say turn the key. I turned it my car few back out of traffic. My life was spared for obeying. Another time God said take 10 percent to your pastor cash. Don't get a money order they need it now. I took it to their house. I found out they needed Exactly what the lord told me to give. The lord said many give but didn't obey. He wants obedience. I give because i choose to give. When the lord speaks i obey. Been blessed ever sense i learned to obey him.
Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses. Proverbs 28:27
Exactly. To the poor. Not the rich pastors we have now who drive 5 cars and have big houses when the congregation live in shacks, council housing and shared accommodation.
Amen
Wow!! Never knew this as it was never taught by or in the church. All hidden truth shall be revealed. Thank You Lord Jesus.🙏🏼
You are not being sincere if you say that your church has not taught you Malachi 3 and Galatians 3 vs 13 and 14
🙌🏽
That is why we are supposed to read scriptures for ourselves.
..."i'm not gonna be long tonight." ...2 hours later 😅
For him 2 hours is not long
It was a good 2 hours
Am watching it now
I know right! 😂 He said that at 1 min, I looked at the total time and it was over 2 hours. LoL how did that work for you? I love his teaching.
😄 I love it! It's always at least an hour and I love it.
This is refreshing truth... I've laughed so hard and it's so true coz I stopped tithing years ago and have never lacked. I give to widows, the poor and casual workers like gatemen and housemaids... Yet when I used to tithe, I was always broke,
Nancy Mubima Me too Sis! I heard my pastor say one day in daytime Bible study; “if you don’t tithe, you hate God.” I was indignant in my spirit but I was already “woke”! I assist those whom the Lord leads me to do for.
Wow!
God, please remove foolishness from my head with Your Word.
Thanks for sharing!! Now I understand that I don't have to put it in the Church. But I can help someone less fortunate
YESSSS Amen 🙏🏽 TRUTH YOU ARE TEACHING YESSSS 🙏🏽 🙌 ❤️ I HAVE SAID THE SAME ABOUT MANY LEADERS USING GOD'S WORD TO MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN 🙏🏽 😀 PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIGH PAYING JOD SITTING IN THE BEST SEATS IN CHURCH AND THE POOR SIT BACK 😀 LEADERS MAKE GREAT PROMISES TO HIGH PAYING TITLE PAYERS 😀 BROKEN PROMISES 💔 TO THE POOR . KEEP YOUR TEACHING FLOWING GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏🏽 🙌 ❤️ ✨️
Same im glad I've learned this
Kevin: If you don't bring scriptures to convince me, buddy you're talking dutch.
Me: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea he got me laughing when he said that.
Amen!!! Such a blessing seeing chains of demonic religion being cast out head on in Jesus name, those with a open heart will accept biblical truth!!!
Finally! This teaching is months in coming. "Show me the scriptures" Classic :) Thank you Minister Kevin Ewing.
Minister Kevin, I THANK GOD FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE!!!...I will study this over and over again until I get it word for word! I am SICK AND TIRED OF THE CHURCH DRAINING THE POOR! GOD said that his people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
Amen and well said, i had to do some serious study and research of this for my self back in 2014. THERE'S NO SUCH BLESSING IN PAYING TITHES TO ANY CHURCH OR ORGANIZATION. To many Christian people poor and broke because many of them don't understand this, Tithing is NOT necessary for us today or anyone. As the word of God says, my people suffer and are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.
Monetary Tithing is a false doctrine.
Is tithing under grace? No
Is tithing for Christians? No
Is God's tithe monetary? No
Pastors, are they Levites? No
Did the Gentiles pay tithe? No
Is church the biblical storehouse? No
Should tithe be eaten outside Israel? No
Tithing, was it meant to pay church bills? No
Did God command non Israelites to pay tithe? No
Should tithe come from outside the land of Israel? No
Did the Levites had an inheritance in the land of Israel? No
I did a research myself, they r lying to us
Great teaching
he said he was going to be done in under 1 hour...i was like 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
Too funny 😂
Same! He has the teaching anointing. It’s just gonna flow!
Many Christians struggle with the issue of tithing. In some churches giving is over-emphasized. At the same time, many Christians refuse to submit to the biblical exhortations about making offerings to the Lord. Tithing/giving is intended to be a joy and a blessing. Sadly, that is sometimes not the case in the church today.
Tithing is an Old Testament concept. The tithe was a requirement of the Law in which the Israelites were to give 10 percent of the crops they grew and the livestock they raised to the tabernacle/temple (Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5). In fact, the Old Testament Law required multiple tithes-one for the Levites, one for the use of the temple and the feasts, and one for the poor of the land-which would have pushed the total to around 23.3 percent. Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system.
After the death of Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, the New Testament nowhere commands, or even recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. The New Testament nowhere designates a percentage of income a person should set aside, but only says gifts should be “in keeping with income” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Some in the Christian church have taken the 10 percent figure from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a “recommended minimum” for Christians in their giving.
The New Testament talks about the importance and benefits of giving. We are to give as we are able. Sometimes that means giving more than 10 percent; sometimes that may mean giving less. It all depends on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the body of Christ. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give (James 1:5). Above all, all tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). It's all God's money anyway. He blessed you to have it and He can take it away. Why? Because God is sovereign. He is God!
Thank you Lord., for leading me to this teaching. You speak to us in so many ways.. Thank you Minister Kevin L A Ewing, i always enjoy your teachings. I am blessed to have you as my teacher. I see a lot of change in my life, ever since i listened to your teachings. May God continue to bless you, may he keep you n protect you and you family.
The reality is God was being a good father. He was being fair and considerate being that he didn’t allow the Levites to have land or a trade outside of His service. Therefore, since they didn’t have land to grow food or a career to make a living off of, he made sure they were taken care of (by the other tribes who could). That’s amazing because they were in that situation because they were being obedient to Him. He is such a trustworthy God that they could trust He would take care of them. It reminds me of the saying of “God’s will, God’s bill”. Like he said in His Word, seek ye first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all of these others things will be added...He opens the doors to opportunities and is able to turn people’s heart towards you. It really boils down to obedience and trust, which is faith. There is even a greater principle here showing how God will take care of you when you trust and obey what He has told you. He is setting you up for success if you do it His way. He sees the bigger picture and has things in place to take care of you.
wowwww, 2 years later and i didn’t even make the connection between the levites having no land claim or trading abilities and the tithes being the provision for them. God bless you!!
Keep breaking down those walls. Heaven is smiling. ✝️🙏🏾✝️
You are right!! If the pastors went to theology school they learned about the Levites! But for generations we have been held in fear and bondage of Malachi 3! I want ALL MY TITHES BACK!...I'm so embarrassed that I had not researched this before now!😣😣😣😣😣😣
Malachi 3:8-10 tells us that we should pay tithes.
I heard of a man who usually pay his tithes. One day he went to the pastor and asked back for all his tithes. His pastor gave it back to him. Soon afterwards, all his sicknesses and problems that were taken from him, returned to him. I pay my tithes and l see so much blessings and favour in my life, and not just my life, but my family's.
Don't regret paying tithes. Think about it, when we go to church, we use the bathroom etc. The tithes help to pay the church's light and water bills. It helps to buy soap, toilet paper etc for the church. It helps to take care of the elderly, the poor and widows.
God loves a cheerful giver. Never stop paying your tithes.
So true!!! Yes I wondered why things NEVER changed for my parents and me. I stopped tithing last year because I was not cheerful. Now listening to this. Wow!
I give offering and tithes but not begrudgingly! Not just money, but as the Lord leads me. I’ve given $1000 with joy! The scriptures have been revealed to me!
Amazing. Even the apostles of Jesus Christ never demanded tithes from the Christians or even the gentile converts.
Agreed. They held jobs. Now some churches did give unto them but that was of their own volition, not a demand from the apostles.
I have stopped giving tithes a long time ago. After i stopped i find it strange that God was still blessing me. I noticed that the people who was paying tithes was often broke. Most time i have to help out with money for food and transportation to them. Minister you are so right. Keep doing what you are doing. God did not stop blessing me after i stopped tithing. I find i am blessed much more than ever.
I stopped tithing a couple of years ago, but God never stopped providing. Go figure.
But now, I have seen folks tithe for years -- and yet, I have not seen the blessings that they don't have room for! Wow.
As an attorney, I filed bankruptcy for more tithers than non- tithers.
Wow, I am not surprise at all.
WOW!!!!
This was always on my heart and with this teaching God confirmed it, thank you Kevin God bless you. Amen
This is blessing me right now! I have been wrong in my understanding but I thank God for opening my eyes to Tithing! Hallelujah! Glory be to God!
I make point of watching atlst one teaching everyday. This one just blew me away.
Av been tithing Faithfully am still miserable and broke. Am free from this foolishness.
The gospel of prosperity in my country is at its peak! Every pastor is talking about tithing and sowing seeds. Am free. Thank you sir.
To God be the glory
I can attest to this so much. I listened this msg twice it resonated so much. Everytime I have been blessed financially its when I give outside of my tithes and offering etc. Which just came out my salary. Even when i got a temp. Increase in salary it was bcuz i had committed to giving outside my tithes go figure.
I would appreciate a teaching series on divorce and the way a church should handle it. Because alot of people are being subjected to abuse , abandonment and neglect because of that verse that says " God hates Divorce"
1 Corinthian chapter 9 settles it for me . JESUS has given me health and strength to work and earn a salary , therefore it is a honor to take back something to his house to help further the ministry , if the minister wants to misuse it , that’s not my problem , he will answer for it .i must mention my giving to the church does not stop me from giving to someone in need . Just sharing how I feel towards this topic . Let us pray one for another .
I am from south africa thank you man for letting God work through you, you saved my life and my family's lives. All praise due to God
God bless you, Sir. Thank you for being brave enough to teach the word of God in its full counsel.
Amen I with trembling followed the Spirit in this and gave to the needs that He instructed me to that was 20 years ago. And we have enough for our needs and desires and enough to give away to those in need like a cycle of Gods abundance. He is an abundant God it’s so simple
My Bible is my best friend. Bethren read your Bibles. You will be amazed why most of us never receive their blessings.
Sometimes am shaken to the core but at the end of the day Jehova opens my spiritual eyes.
Like Kevin I stopped going to church because no one is preaching the truth. I have seen Jehovah do amazing things to me.
Rose I totally Agree.
This Bible is our Sword. We need to make it our bestfriend. Christ word is life & Truth.
I am so tired of the operation of church. Members should be fed when they come to Church with the Truth. Not Leaders twisting the Lord's word to benefit themselves.
Since Covid-19 pandemic. I have realized I cannot remain in this religion Toxicity. I'm staying far away. All this repeated service & preachings And Absolutely No Oil.
We need to read the word & ask God to reveal his Truth so we can understand.
Lord help Minister Kevin!!!!! "Your first fruit, last fruit, Billy goat fruit" Hahahaha.
I am so glad I found this teaching. I was just having this conversation with God. I cannot understand how fear is used to make people tithe, which is the opposite of who God is. There are just so many things that were not adding up for me to continue to give in a religious pharisee-type way. Especially without seeing any results, if the promises of God are true why are we not seeing them in our lives?
Exactly.
I thank God for this knowledge! This practice is such bondage and makes believers poor! Thanks for sharing this, Kevin!
2020 is the year of exposure. Lord have mercy
Indeed
Minister Ewing is very refreshing in his teachings he is honest and diligent to the word of God and bless him O Lord for bringing all that needs to be seen to the light through his studies and his dedication to the people
Revelations!!
Yes I have been saying this all year
It’s 2024 and people are saying it’s “the year of exposure “ too lol😅
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Matthew 23:23
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
thank you for this message I've been trying to tell people this very same thing, Continue doing this thing of waking up our people to the truth
This is the knowledge we never knew before..thank you Kevin
Yes... I love when things like this is brought to the light 😍 💜💛👌🏽
Grateful to the church that I go to so they do not demand or even ask for tithes we have an offering box. They bless me as being needy at the time that I even became a member of the congregation and continue to do so out of love for Christ Jesus
I've been following you 4 years now as we were introduced by Sister Mary in Hollywood glory be to God that you are ministering the truth and nothing but the truth in Jesus name I pray that your ministry continue to prosper as you prosper in the word and continue to teach those who have been blinded and held bondage from their prosperity because of false teachings
Since then the church has paid 2 months of my rent but I can stay in my home and continually check up on me there is nothing more giving then to do things like that. I have been always with you call a cheerful Giver it didn't matter what I had weather much of few I shared I gave time which most people during this pandemic need. It has given me even though sometimes stressful much peace where my dream life has activated more during the time I'm switching residences after 20 years add movement to a small town with morals and love as of old. 2 blessings have been mightily. Love Of Christ does not like in this town even in the smallest ways I thank the Lord Jesus for replacing me relocating me I'm being able to have Wi-Fi at least to continue to see Minister Ewing continue his good works I thank God the Lord Jesus for him. I have learned so much
Thank you Minister Kevin . May God bless you for teaching the truth as written in the bible. Amen.
To God be ALL Glory! The Truth makes us free! Thank you for breaking this down and teaching it in a plain and simple way. May you continue to teach as the Lord leads
I truly believe this Kevin I give thits and didn't see any return but I give to the less fortunate and God bless me bountiful.
So your being alive and healthy is not enough returns, can you see this Israelite
HALLLU YAH! The enemy had been working hard to distract me away from finishing this teaching Minister Kevin. However it is no longer a surprise because it is just like in any of your videos: that upon newfound revelation and obedience of the laws and precepts of the Father God, my breakthroughs becomes GUARANTEED.
I fully believe and do not cast away my confidence in the breakthrough and catapulting that is coming for me right now. We shall know by the FRUITS. I am becoming excited to give my testimonies as well all for the glory of God in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ!
Thank you brother Kevin. I have never heard teaching like this before on Tithing. I have learn so much, I now see things differently. God bless you
I like how Min Kevin Ewing uses scripture in his teachings...a breath of "fresh air" and clarity to a lot of misconceived gospel that has become belief!
from RSA...truth after decades of being lied to...God bless you Minister Kevin Ewing
Brother Kevin...blessings and peace unto you. The Word of God is truth. The tithe is not a law. The question is why didn't the Lord make it a law? The principle of the tithe are before Abram gave tithe unto Melchizedek. Again, tithing is not a law, it is a principle, a fundamental truth.
In Genesis 4 we know the story of Cain and Able. Genesis 4:3 states that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground, Genesis 4:4 states that Able brought the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof. They both brought an offering but what did God RESPECT Able's offering and had NO RESPECT for Cain's offering? The principle of the tithe, giving God what belongs to him first.
Noah the first thing he did when they departed the ark was to give an offering unto the Lord. The law of sacrifices was not in place. This is beautiful. In Genesis 8:20-21 "and Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and said in this heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done." This is not the tithe but the principle of honouring the Lord first.
The tithe belongs to the Lord. So in Genesis 14 when Abram gives (not pays) tithe unto Melchizedek he gives from the mindset of the Principle of the Tithe not the law of the tithe. Melchizedek the high priest of God blessed Abram with bread and wine, then Abram gave a tithe. Melchizedek represents God or Godhead no begging no end, no mother or father. Abram represents Nations
Lets look a little closer...
Genesis 14:18 Melchizedek king of Salem(Godhead God,Word, Spirit/(perfect peace), brought forth bread and wine (Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son) and he (Melchizedek) was the priest of most high God. And he (Melchizedek) blessed him (Abram) and said Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be the most high God,which hath delivered thine enemies into they hand. And he (Abram) gave hime tithes of all.
This is a voluntary act of thanksgiving unto the Lord Most High who possesses Heaven and Earth for his goodness, His protections, deliverance, etc.
On down Genesis 14:22 Abram tells the King of Sodom which represents the fleshly desires of the system of the world. Abram tells the King of Sodom I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord the most high God the possessor of heaven and earth. In other words I am committed to God all that I need or desire he owns it all both in heaven and earth. I need nothing from this world. Abram understood that it is the Lord who maketh rich, who provides, etc. so Abram goes on to tell the King of Sodom I will not take even a shoestring lest you say or get the credit for my richness, riches, or success. Abram understood it is the Lord's doing and belongs. Because he was free to give in his heart with the riches God gave unto him it is was easier to trust God when he gave instructions to take Issac up to worship. Abram faith in God as a supplier, possessor of all things, a deliver was established through the principle of tithing. All things belong to the Lord.
So in Genesis 28 when Jacob vowed to tithe he understood the Principle of the tithe so he could make that commitment. It purposed to give the tithe in his heart, and he gave it voluntarily. Just like his grandfather gave it voluntarily. God is not a forceful God. He is a God of principles and laws.
So when Moses began getting instructions and directions concerning the laws. In Leviticus 27:30 and all the Tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, it's the LORD'S: it is holy unto the Lord. This is why the Lord had respect unto Abel's firstling offering he brought him the tithe which is holy unto the Lord. Able gave God his honor first, he rendered unto God what is his. Matthew 22:21says render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar, and to God the things that are God. Cain just brought an offering that was not what was Gods, God had NO RESPECT for his offering.
God established the principle of tithing first, the people were already giving and bring. God established the Law with the Levitical priesthood because he knew HE is the High Priest. The Levites were for the purpose of establishing a priestly order here on earth. A priestly order was established in heaven (Melechideke was the high priest of GOD who is in heaven) so the Levitical priestly order was established on earth.
New Testament ( Principle of the tithing)
Luke 17:11-19 the parable of the 10 lepers being cleansed. Jesus cleansed 10 leapers and he (Jesus) tells them to go and show themselves to the priests. One one of them was a Samaritan turned around and fell at the feet of Jesus, glorifying God. Jesus said where were the other 9. The one was made whole, other 9 where cleansed.
Let's look a little closer.
Jesus is the High Priest according to Hebrews 4:14 seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
There were 10 lepers. The tenth from 10 is 1. The one represents the tithe that's due unto God. which made in whole lacking nothing. The other 9 were cleansed but not made whole, that's what happens in many cases we forget to give God what is his the tithe and we are never made whole. We received a blessing, a healing, etc. we think the priest are men, when the high priest is Jesus. Don't miss the revelation, we bring tithings unto God, not unto man. Tell God thank you for all that he has done. Bring your tithe unto the Lord, give as he as purposed in your hearts to give. Renew your mind...voluntarily bring your tithes unto the storehouse of God, not man.
Now that we have established God is our High Priest in Hebrews 4:14, He goes on in Hebrew 7 and tells us to tithe after the order of Melchizedek (King of Righteousness, King of Peace). Moses did not know talk about this new priestly order. So that law of paying tithes under the Levitical priesthood is over; however, out of Judah arose another priest similar to Melchizedek... I'm in Hebrews 7:14-16. This new Priest, King Jesus is not after the law of carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek ....meaning MELCHIZEDEK is BEFORE AND AFTER THE LAW. HE IS an UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD...HOLY, HARMLESS, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS.
vs 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this, he did once, when he offered up himself. (in other words, Jesus sacrifice everlasting, there is no needed #FINALANDFINSHED
Jesus is Our High Priest (Hebrew 4)
Jesus is our final Offering and Sacrifice for sin ( Hebrews 10, Eph 5), Jesus is not the tithe.
Jesus is the first fruit of the resurrection ( 1Corinthians 15:20)
Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Law... Jesus did not abolish or do away with the law or the prophets (Matthew 5:17-20
So, why didn't God make the tithe law?
Because he wanted mankind to give freely, voluntarily unto God, as he has purposed in his heart. Giving after the order of Melchizedek if a freewill tithe or offering of faith and thanksgiving. It takes faith to obey God, and one must love God to live a life of faith.
Tithing is a Principle a fundamental truth. Just like breathing is not a law, it a fundamental truth. Take a fish out of water it is a fundamental truth it will die.
God will not make us do what is right. Again, I agree tithing is not law it is a voluntary act unto God.
Let us pray for those in leadership and authority, the teachers, the body of Christ we are many members one body. We are not the judge nor jury. We are our brother's keepers. Helping one another in Love.
Brother Kevin I pray for wholeness and healing from past church hurts, and disappointments. I thank God those times brought forth ministry. I speak the words of Joseph unto you. Joseph said unto his brothers who sold him into slavery Genesis 45:5 now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. Kevin be not grieved nor angry about all the old church stuff, God allowed you to experience and see to preserve life. Through you, God has delivered many people. Remain watchful the enemy is cunny and will try to steal God glory by mudding the waters through hurt and offenses. Remember offenses will come, people will talk, take not thought, make no mention, give not place to the devil, satan. Blessings unto you may brother and continue with this good fight of faith.
Love Libby
Wowwwwww
Love Libby , I was blessed by your comment. I don’t read long messages like these , but brother , I couldn’t stop reading . Thank you for the enlightenment . I admired your non judgement approach , I didn’t know how to address like you , but I always believe in my hearth that JESUS has given me health and strength to work and I should take back something to help his ministry .i am going to repent for the causal attitude that I take for not putting him first in my giving .blessings to you and minister Kevin
Hi good day to you libby? What are you saying the tithes is a must
Absolutely beautiful. Well stated. Thank you.
Beautifully spoken 👏🏿 ❤️
Thank you so much for your obedience to Abba Father. Everything makes sense to me now why God had lead me accordingly to give since 2014. Thank you Bro Kevin and thank you Jesus. I asked God, Lord what do you want to do for Father’s Day and here I am learning the Biblical reasons for tithes and who it was meant for.
Yes, actually I have. I have been in the presence of men and women of God who have said just that: do not sow if your heart, lifestyle, and obedience isn’t right🤷🏽♀️
Go get your walk right, then follow what God says and sow accordingly…
❤
God Bless this Straight forward Biblical teaching on Tithing & Freely Giving and Helping the Poor. I am listening intently again 3yrs later from when I first began to follow your teaching. Powerful Message, Amen 🙏 🙌
Not to mention, your teaching Style alone is a unique gift! I am a Serion Person, yet at the same time my sense of humor is apart of my make up; so thank you also for being comfortable enough in your skin to Teach in Your Own Style... without all of the grunts, growls, fake tongues, and hollering 😆 🤣 😂 Excellent Teacher!!! Much needed lesson.
This is the Meat of the word.Not milk😂😂😂
This word is not for babes.
And that's why even many of the saints won't accept this. Heck, there are many saints that think they are already on meat that won't accept this!
Minister Kevin. I’m listening in 2024. My question is coming from a place of wanting to understand. My question is. There’s a lot of promises God made to the Israelites that we claim today as Christians. So even if the tithing requirements were for the levites, what makes it any different that we can’t follow it? Please I hope you see this or any one who can help me understand. I’m a true believer in tithing and a giver to people in need. I’m blessed beyond measures but I want to make sure the tithing part I get it right.
After the teaching on God's Economy the Lord showed me Micah 3 and this was the eye opener and the confirmation i needed. Please go and read it for yourself.
Charmaine Derrick had that problem and then God started telling her who to give. It's a beautiful feeling when you Give How God Say. Thank you God .
Kevin under an hr 🤔🤔🤔love your teaching blessing to you &the family 🤣🤣🤣let's say over 2hrs but well worth it
I tried but failed miserably :)
@Michele Alston Same here. I think all my riches went for tithes for 30 yrs. Also got no returns. Nothing to show. Busted and disgusted. Thank you Lord for second chances!
:)
@@ld4568 🤭🤭 Kevin's Favorite line lol.lol.
It's so true.
Many wanna be Pastors, demanding congregation to return Tithes. They even verbally insult from pulpits stating that members return Tithes to avoid curses but they don't return Offerings.
I was highly disgusted. I have decided to get out these Toxic leaders bullshit.
All the faithful tithing of many & we are still yet to see some major breakthroughs or miracles.
There are so many members struggling within the church, no food, no jobs, no income. Some homeless etc & none seem to reach out. Also out in the world.
No genuine concern for souls. While these Animals get rich quick. SMH
@@KevinLAEwing please please please do a teaching on epilepsy, epileptic seizures, the laws behind it and causes.. n how to defeat it.. I have a burden for a friend.
Thank you sir. Thanks a lot for allowing God to use you to open my eyes.
Minister Kevin Ewing!! God bless you and your family! The true word of God is food to this spiritually hungry world!!
Minister Ewing you are so awesome. God really use you powerful.People like the preachers that speaks what they wants to hear.Thank God for your boldness speaking only biblical truth.That how God wants us to be.Speak with boldness and authority. I personally have experienced preachers claiming that the tithes belongs to them.
Thank you Min Kev for the eye opening teaching. I have always been one who didnt do it not because l knew about what you are teaching, but l just didnt! Praying that you keep boldly teaching the truth!
Amen! I receive that teaching. God bless u.
No wonder apostle Paul the greatest teacher of the gospel of Jesus to the gentiles never asked for tithe . Despite the fact that he had to travel to Macedonia, Malta, Ephesis etc funding his cost of expense . In fact he gave more from his tent making business to the poor .
Paul’s said in
Acts 20:35 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
My question to the DNA gentiles ‘priest’ where do they get their receiving on behalf of God doctrine from ?
He is wrong
First Melchizedec was a priest but he was not a levite destroying the case of tithes being for levites
Clifton Henderson well we no longer have priest anymore . Jesus is the final priest in the order of Melchizedek. Romans 7:17 . Pastors are not priest. I allow the spirit of God to lead me on where to place my givings . Which exceeds the 10% according to Acts 10.4-5 . Well as long as God accepts my offering am pleased .
Ook this is a wake up call to the believers thank you minister
We continue to journey together as our Lord give us more insights into His true teachings
Thank you so much teacher Kevin I've learnt so much I've always felt something wrong with the old teachings I be offering mine to the less fortunate according to Mathew 25 stay blessed
It would be very interesting to know what pastors do with the tithes....some of them build mega churches.... but how about helping the poor on a monthly basis because tithes are paid every month
Tshipo Nyathi Yes! Exactly!
Saints please read the word for yourselves or else you will fall for errors. God help us.
when you pay tithes expecting something back its like we are bribing God. Tithe as a law
Kabisa I agree with you
@Michele Alston Everytime I helped someone in need God repaid me the same same day and more than 100% more.
@Michele Alston same experience here. We are deceived into giving by using Malachi. It never sit well with my spirit
@Michele Alston He is wrong
First Melchizedec was a priest but he was not a levite destroying the case of tithes being for levites
@@IreneOgoro _ That's because we "give to God" by helping those less fortunate -- especially poor saints.
We do NOT -- and I repeat: we do NOT give to God by giving to our fellowships! That is a lie from the pit!
For example: Do we give to God by giving to our local food mart? No! Do we give to God by giving to our local food banks? Yes! Giving to our fellowships is NOT giving to God! You would think that because it's "church", then you MUST be giving to God, but it is not! Giving to our fellowships is mainly giving to our pastors and toward their ministries and building utilities. Nothing wrong with that, but that is what it is. This is not giving to God! Many folks need to study their bibles again -- and rightly divide this time!
Tithes were crops not money
Jesus speaking to his disciples in Mathew says, you have receive without paying so give freely. A true man of God will never ask you to pay for any healing or blessing. Don’t let a pastor that only read the Bible in church tell you what God’s word say. Thank you Kevin for letting God use you to bring people to him.
Minister Kevin I love all your teaching but what about those who tithe and see the blessing. I never use to pay tithe please note I am a giver and I could of never see my way as soon as I started to tithe an overflow happen every month. I listen to a sermon by Apostle Joshua Selman on tithing and it truly bless my life. I honestly think what you are sayin that tithing is not a law and we should not be forced life how some churches do.
You saw an "increase" because your heart was right in giving. That just happened to be how it played out. The increase had nothing to do with you giving 10% of your income, and everything to do with your heart.
Don't be fooled: Just because you saw an increase after beginning to tithe does not mean that it's because you was giving up 10%.
It's a trick from the enemy to make tithing look legit to keep you bound so that you won't know the truth. He makes you to now think that this 10% must be of God because you "got blessed", when really you're bound to the law mentality that I must do this in order to receive blessings from God. We're being tricked like Eve. In reality, the "blessings" are already yours because of Christ in you.
Besides, there are more tithers who do not see that "overflow" than there are tithers who do.
It's funny because -- if you know the Bible, it says that Christ has already given us everything that pertains to life AND godliness. But, for some reason, folks think we have to obtain it. That's how you know we're wrong about tithing. Its a trick to make us think that we're being blessed or going to be blessed when in fact we already are blessed. So, don't be fooled.
@@powrofgrace Amen
Because you cheerfully gave :)
Lynda Mc Laren , it happen for me too.
I did too, AJS is awesome. Tithing has changed my life more than having a lot of money ever could
That last part about the envelopes was 😔😔😔. I literally said out loud WHAAAATT!?! Do they think God doesn’t care or do they just not care about God. Scary.
My thought too, its scary how they are not even fearful of the LORD.
Naomie Phiri I know!
I mean we want to ONLY LEARN what you have diligently studied .
Dont worry about the other teachers or even other christians who challenge your teachings
God blessings be upon you and your entire family Brother La Ewing I came across your ministry about two years ago after seeking God for a ministry that speaks on dreams then one day you popped up on UA-cam on my phone thank God for that day am from Trinidad and I love your ministry so so much that I listen you all day from morning until night
Wow, what a revelation: if you give sparingly, you will reap sparingly. Tithe is limited, , its the tenth, sparingly. Thank you Kevin
If you make gifts to rich people or oppress the poor to get rich, you will become poor yourself. Proverbs 22:16
This is my first time listening to this. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m still listening but when you broke down Numbers 8:24…….. I just sat back! Whew!!!!! This is some good food. And I’m grateful to have been introduced to your ministry and this particular teaching.
I was deceived without knowing and also helping them to spread this lie to others thinking I was doing the will of God and helping people to find the truth, I have ask God for forgiveness for my actions through my ignorance of his words, finding out the truth really broke my heart I feel betrayed and fool in to a lie but on the other hand am happy I know the truth now .I always watch minister Kevin video but I never watch this one even though my spirit was urging me to but I delayed it an now I understand why my spirit was telling me to watch this particular video. I have make a decision to leave this church because I don't know what other truth they had twisted. I know this will break the heart of my family and friends that I make this decision knowing how i left behind this world and start following God when I start attending that church but that chapter of my life has ended with that church, I will just focus on my relationship with God continue to watch minister Kevin videos and hope one day God may lead me to a church that doesn't twist his words.
AMEN BROTHER KEEP SPEAKING TRUTH!, AS THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
After enjoying your teachings on dreams and the world of darkness, I was afraid you were going to spoil the whole thing with the traditional "monetary Christian tithing"....What a relief! A proponent of this teaching since 1987.
Me too.. Although I always questioned why I was being forced to tithe or even give donation in church, I was reluctant to watch this video. But thank God I did.
Love this so much! And so thankful for this revelation🙏🏽 Praise the Lord!
This was very interesting. I've been tithing for over 30 yrs. I must say that I've been blessed; no financial overflow, but God has blessed me.
My question is, doesn't tithes/ offerings help maintain the church?
Did you shave? "FAKE LEVITES"😂😂😂
I love this teaching so much I have to translate and teach that on my native language. Thank you Jesus for minister Kevin. I already shared with all my family members.
Thank you so....much for clarity!!! Hallelujah Jesus!!🙌🙌🙏
I thankyou for your awesome amazing great blessed teachings on the Word of God .you are excellence a blessing from God
These so called men of God went on live videos urging people to keep the tithe and offering in these hard times when people.have no food they are not working😡😒 how thoughtful of them🙄
Bugingo
@@mukasairene7544 very true mwana nalabuse atoba Kevin anzibude amaso 😳👀
4 okt 2020 Kevin thank you for this teaching . i've been searching around for about a year now reading the word and searching the network for answers , and come across this now i'm sure and not just that, but i got the verses of God's Word to proof that. i also stay on God's Word. Blessings for you and your family.
My pastor used to warn against giving without being right with God and man.
Thank you Min Kevin for teaching the truth and nothing but the truth. London
olivia dowa I’m from London too!!£ . I hope your well in this season? I don’t know if your a regular follower of Kevin ? His teaching has been getting me through... I look forward to his videos
@@nicolawaugh6728 Hi Nicola yes i have been following him since feb 2019. My life has changed.
As my comment before Brother Kevin, they wont come as scripture dictates, as the Word of God will set you free. Most of them have it upside down, good to hear that you putting it into perspective for the haters.Lots of love and may God bless you and the family richly. Give it to them straight up.
Omg..I love this Pastor! His personality and teaching together brings in millions and by that we in turn gets closer to God. MISSION COMPLETED!. I have not stop laughing at the sarcasm. He has to be a comedian. I will definitely be watching more. This is how you teach!!!!❤❤❤shout out to my bestie for introducing him to me.
Minister Kevin I just got finished sharing this teaching about tithes and also listened to it again because I knew that I would get a few good laughs. I appreciate you dearly. Keep teaching the Word of God and trust me I’ll continue to share so that our brothers and sisters in Christ will be set free🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I was recently introduced to your channel by my UK friend & I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I'm truly blessed by your teachings. May the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit continue to lead you in spreading the message of God.
You are so welcome
Minister Kevin already had a no-nonsense personality! These folks and their shenanigans just turned him up to 💯!
So true l also stop tithing hallelujah God bless you man of God for spiting in their eyes
Pastors etc driving big Bentley’s and jets while people in these congregations struggle to pay bills. This is not of God. Do these churches ever remember the poor? Are we to pay God for a miracle or breakthrough? Think about it.
I never understood why Pastors need private jets!
No where in the Bible were we instructed to pay for a miracle/deliverance. Or, you'll be cursed if you don't pay tithes to the pastor etcetera. Teach Minister Kevin 📚📜🙏🏾😇
Go and preach the word of God publicly and see if it is easy, the only easy thing is to stay behind a microphone and camera and say whatever you like, every dick and harry can do that, if you are serious with the word of God, go into the bus,train, the public and preach the gospel, establish a church and pay the rent and see how easy it is, God has placed a lot of blessings to anyone who preaches the gospel, so don't be envious of the pastor riding a Bentley, I know you would prefer a drug baron and thieves, kidnappers, bank robbers, to be riding the Bentley, but the word of God states blessed is the foot that brings the gospel, God said he is the one that gives power to make wealth, the word of God states that the earth is the Lord's and the fulness there off, his word states, I wish above all things that thou mayst prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth. Join those preaching the word of God and ride your Bentley ok,don't be envious ok
Edgar Okoh no one is envious. Envy is a sin and so is greed (love of money). I’m talking about those who go on and on about sowing a seed for deliverance or sow a seed to be a billionaire. Please read before making statements. God bless you.
@@Emeraldbusby99 yes, Christians have the right to sew seeds to be millionaires, it depends on their level of faith and beliefs, the word of God said if only we can believe and have faith all things are possible, the word of the God I serve says as long as the heaven and the earth remaineth seed time and harvest time will never seize, please whatever you have to say must have a reference in the bible to support it , I just gave you two bible verses to support my claims, Isaiah 8 vs 20 says to the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to what is written in this book of the law you know the light of God is not in the. People sewing to be millionaires are operating at a higher level of faith. Ok
