Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [17] 10/10/2025 (Evening thought)

2nd Chronicles 31:11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them, 12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 525] In the Hebrew economy one tenth of the income of the people was set apart to support the public worship of God. Thus Moses declared to Israel: “All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.” “And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, ... the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:30, 32.

But the tithing system did not originate with the Hebrews. From the earliest times the Lord claimed a tithe as His, and this claim was recognized and honored. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:20. Jacob, when at Bethel, an exile and a wanderer, promised the Lord, “Of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.” Genesis 28:22.

As the Israelites were about to be established as a nation, the law of tithing was reaffirmed as one of the divinely ordained statutes upon obedience to which their prosperity depended. The system of tithes and offerings was intended to impress the minds of men with a great truth—that God is the source of every blessing to His creatures, and that to Him man’s gratitude is due for the good gifts of His providence.

Nehemiah 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.

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

Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [16] 10/09/2025 (Morning thought)

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

In other words, if a denomination or church teaches that God’s law was nailed to the cross, and it is not valid anymore, that denomination or church cannot be the storehouse, it matters not how much Jesus it preaches. In Biblical prophecy, a woman is used to represent the church, and therefore, you will have to look for the organized denomination that promulgates God’s law and also has the testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of prophecy.

Any other church, denomination, or independent ministry is just a church, but is definitely not “The storehouse or “MY house” and therefore, your tithe and offerings that have been vowed to God should be returned to His designated house. Now, it is true that God’s people are to be found in most churches, and in every language, tongue, and people, and yes, there are many independent 7the Day Adventist churches that may have inadvertently claimed to be the storehouse.

God is now calling all to act in truth and sincerity, by restoring The storehouse, “My house” to its original owner, with the proceeds thereof, from now on, for God is just as specific as He was back then, when He declared those solemn words: “In the place which The Lord Thy God shall choose.”

Revelation 19: 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

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