   Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat   
   in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will   
   not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there   
   shall not be room enough to receive it.   
      
   All he desired was a minimum, basically the first fruits of what one does.   
      
   Giving to get, does not work if money, etc. is ones selfish goal for he   
   see’s the heart and its purposes.   
      
   Sometimes it almost seems to be sacrificial if things are tight, But putting   
   God first in your life, should be our way of life, in every area of our life.   
      
   Anti-God types who are opposed to His word need not apply.   
      
   2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;   
   and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.   
      
   2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,so let him give; not   
   grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.   
      
   2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always   
   having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:   
      
   2Co 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the   
   poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.   
      
   2Co 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for   
   your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your   
   righteousness;)   
      
   2Co 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth   
   through us thanksgiving to God.   
      
   This too is part of the Gospel Message to the Believer, who walks by faith   
   believing. Pay serious attention to all these scriptures, especially verse 7.
