Malachi 3:10-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 Bring the full 10 percent into the storehouse so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this way," says the LORD of Hosts. "See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing for you without measure. 11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not ruin the produce of your ground, and your vine in your field will not be barren," says the LORD of Hosts.
When you think of the weapons of your warfare, do you consider your money? Your tithes and offerings have the power to rebuke the devil! Oh how awesome. That bares repeating, your money is a mighty weapon. It has the power to change your life. First, God honors your obedience. He commanded , not suggested in His word that we bring our money so that there will be meat in His house. He even gave you the right to test Him. He said see if He won't open my floodgates for you. Hallelujah! Then, He said, "I'll rebuke the devourer for you..." You cannot lose. He guarantees that your money will stop the enemy. All of that for 10%!
Are you as effective at warfare as you could be? Do you use all the weapons He's given you? If not, start now! If you do, continue! In these times of financial hardship, can you afford not to?
God Bless
