TITHE: Is It Obsolete?

I belong to this yahoo group fellowship born out of my former teenage fellowship from where we grew up way back in Benin City, Nigeria. Its called Youth Vessels of Christ Fellowship (YVC). At the moment though, we are all in diaspora, so we started what we call "YVC online" We currently have had fresh converts join our group, and also have welcomed believers join our group so we are growing. I invite you to join if you can. Its interesting, we all write in about any issue and trash them together as a family. For a couple of days now, we have been dealing with the issue of tithe, and one of our online cordinators insists that tithe is an old testament ordinance that should not be in practice today. There were many other opinions, and I think because of his influence in the group most members were starting to waiver between to tithe, or not to tithe.

Down below was my personal contribution and the last point standing as we speak. I was responding to a brother that said; he believes in the benefit of tithing, but does not believe that you're cursed if you dont tithe! I need your personal opinion as well. Please feel free to say what you believe about tithing after going through this post. Together, let us find the truth about this ancient ordinance, and stay with it!!!

MY CONTRIBUTION
Well...my two brothers! If one doesnt get the benefits of tithe, which is open heavens, and an overflow...what does one get? I believe that if you dont tithe, you are a robber, period! Remember, a thief is better than a robber, cos a thief steals to eat, the bible says he's punished only if he's caught! But a robber is dangerously armed...and many people are robbing God as we speak..at gun point...how rude can that be? Verry.

So pls lets not just look at our comfort, lets look at scripture... Melchizedek King of Salem has no beginning, and no end, just like Jesus. He is Christ himself...no beginning no ending, and so is the ordinance of tithe.

Thank you.

JUNE: ITS JUBILEE!

Its good to remember that we are in a season of JUBILEE!!! Its time to believe God for the impossible! He is right now, at this season, restoring the fortunes of His people, and bringing them new hope, new strength, and fresh harvest! Isaiah 51:3. Its His heart beat that all may have total freedom from every kind of oppression of the enemy!

A little secret you may want to know. We are in the RAINBOW months! The Rainbow as we know is a great sign of God's covenant to preserve his people.We are entering in this four months to the Hebrewic end of year, into a season of restoration. The spirit of Jubilee shall begin to separate and increase His people! The angel of the Lord shall begin to mark people's houses for increase and for separation.

I suggest at this point, you go and buy a Tambourine if you do not have one...for a season of celebration and rejoicing is come upon you! The blessings of three years, shall come to you in four months! Laughter is coming into your house! In this four months...prepare youself for the days of Favour is here! Prepare! For God is about to visit you! Prepare yourself for your Harvest is here! As you go, you will encounter diverse miracles and breakthroughs! Shout...its JUBILEE TIME!

Read the key scriptures to your Jubilee... Isaiah 51:3..and
Isaiah 32:15-18. Meditate on these scriptures and pray with them.

Be very expectant...GOD IS HERE!

Receive the grace for complete harvest in every area of your life now, IJN!
Read Isaiah 51:3 ...today!

Love you loads!
