Giving Tithes to God

poem by: Joe Breunig
Written on May 02, 2013

Revelations of the heart
regarding how one's money is spent
echoes volumes about character
and our God-given talents.

For Jehovah is far from being poor;
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.
He's not into ungodly extortion
to keep you from paying your bills.

By serving two masters,
one will be dearly loved - the other sorely hated;
so one can never be truly happy
until settling the God and Mammon debate.

The wealth of God lies in His Word.
His principle of tithing is a mechanism
to pour out financial blessings upon us.
Therefore, purge your mindset of secularism.

Jehovah desires our faithfulness
to fulfill our ministry to the Earth.
We won't be judged on our daily income -
Know that money can never define... Our true worth.

FYI - Mammon is the church term for the "God of money".

Thank you for sharing your writing. Matthew 6:33 ... Kingdom Business... God owns the cattle on the hill and all the gold and silver. The world does not understand being in Christ you have riches.... It is God who gives power to attain wealth...
