Understanding Tithing

New Testament tithing is like that of Abraham, you tithe after a triumphant victory and prosperous encounters with God. It's done to return a percentage of the spoils from those victories and encounters. Historically, apostles were commissioned emissaries sent to take back stolen goods of their king. The tithe gives back to God what belongs to him, which is why apostles receive the tithe. The tithe is the reason for the scripture "remember the LORD, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth", meaning once we become prosperous and victorious, we have to return the tithe of that prosperity and victory to God. Tithing shows that we rely on God to make us prosperous and help us win our battles being victorious. It shows that our prosperity and victories are the benefits of serving God. The tithe is supposed to take care of the house of God and his ministers. The New Testament didn't have to discuss tithe as much because the saints understood the term apostle spoke of this matter in its historical position. The Melchizedek order is the order of the king-priest. Abraham was anointed as the new Melchizedek and Jesus, by John the Baptist, was anointed the new Melchizedek, reinstating that order. The reason God told the children of Israel that they were the head and not the tail was because of the tithe, once they were prosperous and victorious in their businesses and crops, they would return the tithe to God through the priests. Jesus is our high priest under the Melchizedek order and we return the tithe to him through the ministers in his Church. The reason saints tithe is because they know they’ve prospered because of God and want God to continue to prosper them.
