It all belongs to God. God wants you to give His tithes and your offerings. The first 10% of all that is God's He wants you to give back to Him - first. He allows you to keep the remaining 90%. Not only do you get to keep it, He will protect it and bless it for you! Hallelujah!
For those of you who still don't get it - that it all belongs to God - and you think you are working for a living and making your own money... you need to change your thinking. Think of it this way - we, you and I, work and labor to produce our seed. God gives seed to the sower. Wow! God blesses us with a job to work and labor and then when we are paid we are to use it as our seed to plant in the kingdom! Get it? Are you ready? Take your money and plant (put) it in the kingdom! How? Tithes and offerings! Anything over and beyond the 10% is considered an offering. Things like giving to missions, orphans, widows, your neighbor and other charitable causes or deeds - for the kingdom!
God even tells us to test Him in this. Have you tested Him yet? I have found that in this test when we are faithful, He is faithful. He cannot lie. He is always faithful. We must learn to be faithful and trust Him. He will do what He says and you will be blessed and the enemy will cry over it. Why? Because you are not only a child of God but you are putting into practice the number one principle of what God means when He says "seek first the kingdom of God."
