Thanksgiving Offering

As Thanksgiving Day approaches, many have made their offerings to the turkey industries by buying much food and turkey. But have you made or prepared your special offering of Thanksgiving to God in HIS House? The modern Western Church has lost much of its way in knowing how to make offerings to HIM. Yes, there is much abuse but the mistakes of men should not stop you from doing what is right with God. Do not end up a turkey yourself.

You must always put God first. HE is to receive your first fruits, the first tenth or tithes, and FIRST CONSIDERATION before anything else. May your hearts always be in order and give HIM your best. A joyful giver is one who has realized how he/she has been saved by HIS Grace. 

Nehemiah 10:35-39 (NLT) “We promise to bring the first part of every harvest to the Lord’s Temple year after year—whether it be a crop from the soil or from our fruit trees. 36 We agree to give God our oldest sons and the firstborn of all our herds and flocks, as prescribed in the Law. We will present them to the priests who minister in the Temple of our God. 37 We will store the produce in the storerooms of the Temple of our God. We will bring the best of our flour and other grain offerings, the best of our fruit, and the best of our new wine and olive oil. And we promise to bring to the Levites a tenth of everything our land produces, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our rural towns.
38 “A priest—a descendant of Aaron—will be with the Levites as they receive these tithes. And a tenth of all that is collected as tithes will be delivered by the Levites to the Temple of our God and placed in the storerooms. 39 The people and the Levites must bring these offerings of grain, new wine, and olive oil to the storerooms and place them in the sacred containers near the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers.

“We promise together not to neglect the Temple of our God.”
