what it means.
Malachi 3:10-11 "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be food in My house, and try Me now in this," says the Lord of hosts, "If I
will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such
blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes..."
T - tenth
Explain that tithe means tenth, and have some bills and coins on hand for
the children to practice calculating how much that would be for an earnings
of $5, $10, etc.
I - into the storehouse
We are instructed to bring the tithe into the storehouse. That would be the
church where we get our spiritual food.
T - test. God
God tells us we can prove Him or put Him to the test. If we give our tithes
He will bless us abundantly!
H - heaven's blessing
That's right. God promises to open the windows of heaven and pour out a
great blessing on us! Keep in mind, God's blessings do not always come in
the form of money although He will bless us in that way. But He also
blesses us in other areas: health, peace, joy, favor, needs met, etc.
E - enemy stopped
God says He will rebuke the enemy (which is Satan) for our sakes. That
means when Satan tries to hinder our blessings from coming to us, God
Himself will put him in his place!
