Stewardship
"Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
While tithing is not a qualification for membership, we do however believe that each member of God’s House have been given the assignment of supporting the vision of God for the house through the faithful, sacrificial giving of Tithes and Offerings.
Tithe means the tenth part. We believe biblically the tithe to be the first, the fat, and the best of our increase, and that it is Holy Unto The Lord and should not be mishandled. Therefore, we believe that the 10% should be taken from the gross and not net of the believer’s income.
The tithe and the offering are to be brought to the Lord as a part of the worship experience.
We believe that it is through the worshipful giving of financial support that th e lives of God’s people are involved in the building of His Kingdom in the earth and therefore are supernaturally blessed and sustained by the Lord through the activation of
their faith. (Malachi 3:8-12, Haggai 1:3-11; II Corinthians 9:6-12)
We believe tithing to be a spiritual principal instituted by God before the Mosaic Law was implemented. (Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:1-10; Psalm 110:4)
We further believe that the whole of our giving of tithes and offerings come under the heading of first fruits and are seen as being Holy. (Proverbs 3:9-10; Romans 11:16). First fruits being the offering unto the Lord the best of all that we have and that nothing has priority in our hearts but God.
"Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
