Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [12] 10/07/2025 (Morning thought)

Exodus 25:1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering. 8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Therefore, the next logical question has to be: What is this place which The Lord Your God shall choose? It is the designated place where you would find the law of God containing the ten commandments and the Spirit of prophecy as being manifested through God’s presence, and all the designated synagogues associated with that place….. Exodus 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

Exodus 25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel….. 2nd Chronicles 6: 6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

2nd Chronicles 6:10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel. 2nd Chronicles 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.

2nd Chronicles 7:2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [11] 10/07/2025 (Evening thought)

Deuteronomy 14: 22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

Deuteronomy 14:23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.

Deuteronomy 14:25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose….. Deuteronomy 15: 19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

It becomes very obvious that the returning of tithes and offerings must be in accordance with what God chooses, for the following statement occurs to often in the previous passages, for it to be ignored: “The place which the Lord thy God shall choose”. In fact, the phrase occurs no less than 16 times in the instructions given to the people.

Deuteronomy 14:20 Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy household.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
