Read: Malachi 3:1-4:6; Revelation 22:1-21; Psalm 150:1-6; Proverbs 31:25-31
God makes it plain that if you don’t tithe you will be under a curse. Some people say that tithing is under the law but I wonder why God would highlight tithing in the last book of the Old Testament if he was about to do away with it. From experience, I can testify to the fact that not tithing puts you under a curse which means that the Lord’s blessing and protection will not be on your finances. You will be totally open to the attack of the devil who will not only take your tithe, but more than that. When you tithe, the Lord rebukes the devourer and protects your investment and blesses it and gives back great dividends. To invest in the kingdom is the best investment you could ever make.
In Revelation, the setting is inside the new Jerusalem and there is a river of life that flows from the throne of God and his Son. It flows down the main street of the city where on each side stands the tree of life with twelve crops of fruit which yields twelve different fruit every month. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations. Those who have washed their robes in the blood of Jesus will have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
John asked God not to seal this book but to keep it open because the time was getting close.
Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord!
Congratulations! You have read through the Bible! I am so grateful for all of you who have joined me in this venture through God's Word. I hope that you will join me again next year. Every year God's revelation is new and pertinent for us during the season we are going through. I can't wait to see what new thing God will tell us next year!
