The idea of giving one tenth of one’s income is God’s method of establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. Its God’s way of resourcing the work committed to men. It’s a Kingdom principle for a kingdom work. Jesus taught the disciples to pray. He gave them a number of principles that would help them to pray effectively and He then proceeded to give them an example of effective prayer. It is thee most important prayer found in the bible. Jesus said, “This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, As we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the evil one. (Mathew 6: 9-13)
The focus of prayer is the establishment of the rule of God on earth. The prayer is a vision statement. When you pray this prayer you’re supporting the vision of Christ…and His mission… to establish the Kingdom of God in the earth.
So then it is logical to conclude that it would be of no benefit to pray this prayer and neglect financial support (tithe) ; it’s with our finances that we resource the Kingdom.
