"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob Me. But you ask, 'How do we rob You?' In tithes and offerings Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." -- Malachi 3:8-10 NIV

Several weeks ago the Lord laid it on my heart to tithe to an organization called City Ministries. This organization was started by a minister named Bob Johnson and his family. This is a ministry which goes out to the streets reaching the homeless and even prostitutes by giving away hot meals, offering prayer, and having Sunday School and worship services in the streets and of course making that available to the homeless. Many churches and organizations talk about helping the homeless and less fortunate, this is one ministry that literally goes down to the street level and does just that.

Some Christiansins have a real problem making money or being prosperous I will never understand that. If Christiansins we believe God will bless us, why do we often have trouble understanding that God can and will bless us financially? Christiansins, if we prosper financially then at the very least we will tithe to God's work. If non-believers earn money, many of them will spend money on things that will not benefit the kingdom of God. It obviously goes to reason who would God rather see prosper over his people?
