Thus, says Yahweh: "Let a man work and strive for his goals, and I will bless him. From all that I give you, separate ten percent and repay as an offering. In doing so, I will bless you even more and your happiness will be multiplied. "

The question of tithing is indisputable and exemplified in several biblical examples. The difference is how to deal with this tribute. First, we have the free will to decide whether or not we want to contribute. Many people really do not have enough for their own livelihood and then Yahweh God, my father, will understand. In relation to those who have good financial conditions, it is very good to fulfill this requirement. However, do not do it out of obligation. Contribute to the tithe to somehow reciprocate the favor of the creator who is continually shown in our lives.

Another pertinent question in this respect concerns the destination of this tax. To whom should we give ten percent of the tithe? If you have thought of your church, it is your choice, but it is not the only one. We should look into what to apply this value carefully and in my case, I choose relatives or family members who need help. I feel happy to help them and to break my tithing obligation. Another advantage is that I know exactly where my money will be spent and this makes me quieter. I have no confidence in certain leaders of institutions who often use the money for their own benefit. Therefore, use tithing money well and not necessarily on the religious route, because my father does not need anything material. It exists by itself being omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Have more faith, brothers!
