Giving: A Biblical Command

If there is a topic people have ignored and hated, it is the doctrine of giving in support of God’s servants and work. In the Old Testament, the Jews were taught the importance of giving, and those who obeyed were blessed by Yahweh Elohim. Those who refused to obey and give in support of God’s work and servants were placed under the curse of God. If God has given you, you must give back to him by supporting his servants materially.

And this giving is not only aimed at your local Church Pastors. Any Minister of the gospel who ministers to you in any way, whether physically close to you or not, deserves your support. Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek, the King-Priest of Salem. Melchizedek was NOT the Pastor of Abraham, but he blessed Abraham when he came from rescuing Lot. Abraham was very rich because he understood the benefits of giving to the servants of God. If you cannot give to those who minister to the Church in any way, then you are cursed with a bitter curse. Judges 5v. 23 curses those who do not help the Lord against the mighty. Helping the Lord against the mighty is first by supporting those he has called and anointed to serve him and his people.

Gal. 6v. 6 commands that those who instruct others should be supported by those instructed. 1 Cor. 9v. 7 states that a soldier does not go to war at his own expense. Those who minister to others are soldiers and must be supported by those they minister to. When we pray for others, we are confronting demons on their behalf and there are consequences to this. We risk our lives through spiritual warfare and we deserve to be supported. All ministers of the Gospel of Christ are supposed to be given financial support by all other Christians. Luke 6v. 38 says that when you give you get back. If you cannot give, you will not get back blessings from those who are called to minister to you.
