Divinfavor - The Tithe (Amount/Measure) & Offerings (Distribution/Expression) Saga!

The Tithe (Amount/Measure) & Offerings (Distribution/Expression) Saga!

..An extract from: BEL-A-RiC with AD-BASE-PiC by Divinfavor .C'

            Achieving anything involves knowing the CSP {Closest Starting Points), VMP {Valid Media Processes)  And APS {Attaining Publicity Stages)

       A person that's honorable (deserving tributary), but, isn't aware of it, is like someone that dehydrates (dies of taste)  in a juice/water bottling factory. Whatever the enemy promises to give you, is far lesser than what he/she/it will collect from you, because, he/she/it has nothing to offer you, except for what he/she/it stole from others like you via taking advantage of their unawareness, illiteracy & ignorance. Just like he {the enemy/evil one) deceived Adam/Eve by telling them that, they shall be like God. Mean-while, Adam/Eve forgot/weren’t aware that, they were Like God already.

        Remain focus on what is needed to be achieved with God's help, because, temptation/trials (pleasant/sweet)/offence (bitterness/un-pleasant) situations must come to distract/test you. But, “..don't let the egg fall off the spoon..”.

          And whatever you do, is just a way of showing God that, you’re grateful, i.e. appreciating {increasingly Valuing) what God has done, and not based on what you have done.

Business (occupation, services) is an infusing blend of both immediate in & out (You; The development expenses of the Attitude & gifts of the Spirit of God as the father (begin, origin) in you,  extended in & out (neighbor, nearest), and external in & out (around, further) transactions of concerns

You (seek first in kingdom of God which is in you as the Holy Spirit, greater is he that in you, the kingdom of God is within you), next, Parents/Children (they're co-relational; your parents are you in the past, while your children are you in future. note: your spouse is a partner; {you in the female physiological dimension} with you, marry opposite physical you, but, has blending Godly character with You. he/she either get theirs from tithes that's given to you/allocated to yourself as well as from housing %, your children inherits from whatever that's left. whenever your parents and You are gone), next, In days old, priest (location attendant) of God, were separate from others so the tithe was given to them for every two years, while the widows/orphans/strangers were given the tithe in every third year, but, in the current/new dispensation of God in Christ, everybody that's a true Christian with the continuous genuine manifestations of the fruit of the Holy (All, Complete, Holistic, Perfect, creat a book that explains/extends each word) Spirit, i.e. Christ as written in gal is a royal priest (worthy of tribute, because of whom they represent), and they include both the poor, the needy, widows, orphans, strangers, .. everyone in Christ. And in the priest hood, there are some who are graced and do business ("occupy" till I come) with their gifts (as written in 1Cor 12) and developed it from small to big with the help of God; offices like Apostle, prophet, ... to administration; having clients/disciples/souls to countless fans/followers/supporters from which they receive offerings for their services; offerings that's aren't tithes-offerings nor free will offerings. Tithe is for the poor/needy in Christ. Note; someone might not be poor, but, he/she needs either your services or your tithe for the gospel ministries; that's why I support the giving of tithes to church fellowship center nearest to you.

    Tithe is the basic/minimum time/money amount, that's measured as percentage of %1 out from %10 of Your Time/Gifts-Skills-Work Income Earnings/Net-Profits/Free-Benefits {YTGSWIENPFB), or, %10 out from %100 of YTGSWIENPFB, or, %100 out from %1,000 of YTGSWIENPFB, or, %1,000 out from %10,000 of YTGSWIENPFB, or, %10,000 of out from %100,000 of YTGSWIENPFB  ..depending on the level of incomes/profits/time that you get/have, from which you now use as the minimal {mustn't be less than that, but, can be more) percentage proposal for Appreciating God {Christ) Attentively/financially, Just like in Maths, where you have progressive measurements in units, tens, thousands..  

        Tithe was/is invented as a guide (formula, tool)  to help us budget/make basic proposal (purpose)  of an accurate measured amount, to offer to God (Christ in You as well as in others), so as to appreciate/Develop Him (Christ, Good, G-d, God)  in our lives. Because, “.. as He (Christ) is, so are we (Christians)  here on earth ..”, I.e. Christians are now the Christ {Anointed) that you can see, due to the fact that; Christ Himself said, “..occupy till I {Christ) come ..”  and we as Christians are now the new Levi/King/Royal Priest. And until you understand that; Christianity is an office/Sign post that Advertises/Replicates Christ via Attitude/Behaviors/Characters/Habbits/Lifestyles/Manners {1Corinthians 13, Galatians 5) as well as via Abilities/Activities/Capacities/Charisma/Gifts/Health/Skills/Wealth (Romans 12, 1Corinthians 12) that must be dependent on the Holy {All, Perfect) Spirit of Christ (God), that "person" maybe wasting without knowing.

 

Note: A priest in the old testament {Agreement, Contract, Script, Witness) is someone that’s from the tribe of Levi in Israel, but, he is a leader, functions/positioned as the top servant of God in the temple, while other Levites assist him in running other activities within the temple/office, and priesthood are in levels, just like the Israelites had High Priest as of then. But, thanks be to God Almighty for being our highest priest in/via Christ.

And, it {Priest) can also be seen as the Person/tribe that is Destined/Residential and located at a particular place/spot of service, occupying an office/skill, dominate in that area, and carrying out his/her duties, as well as doing transactions {Business).

 You’re a Levi/Royal Priest of God {Christ) The Almighty, in whatever He {Christ Via His Holy Spirit in You) enables you to do, wherever you find yourself.

 

 And, everything's goodness or badness depends on what God {Christ Jesus Yahweh Yahushwa Yeshua Immanuel the Messiah)  says that it is. And He (Christ, God)  has made it possible for us to be free, do and live in the lifestyles {attitudes, Behaviors, characters, habits)/ways that forever pleases Him. But, people perish for the lack of the appropriate knowledge {knowing the perfect how/ when/ whom/  what/ who/ where..), and they think that they know it all/the scriptures {Bible), but, they forget that, illiteracy (not aware)  with arrogant unacceptable ignorance (pride, I.e. despising & feeling better than others, e.g. having 1Roman.12/1Corinthians.12 without Galatians.5/1Corinthians.13)   destroys them, and knowledge without  appropriate relevant research, comprehensive reasoning, innovative expression, communicative integration, dimensional replication, daily valid multi-re-generational metamorphoses/transformations, will certainly fade away, because, it's the meek {1Corinthian.13, the humble, student, researcher, teachable, i.e. always learning, understanding and practicing the truth)    that will inherit the earth (i.e. will later overcome, reign and rule over whatever God has made available on the earth, after been subject [perceiving, attending, studying, re-studying, reasoning, understanding, following & obeying guidance/instructions], because, whatever we perceive {sense via seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, faith, hope, love, understandings, curiosity, other dimensions)  including everything as well as the Holy Bible {Library of Books/Media/Records/Witness),  which Paul {the Apostle)   sometimes referred to as the Letter/Scriptures {one of the major means/media of expression/giving/offering/information)  without appropriate revelation, relevant understanding and perfect channeling/Distributions,  can kill, i.e. can destroy someone when misunderstood. Because, it's the Holy Spirit {guidance/understanding from God's perspective/revelation of Himself as the author/writer that based on/knows the future [Book Of Revelation]  and how it affects you now [New Testament/ Agreement/ Covenant]   as accomplished/fulfilled by Himself [Christ]   as the finisher with reference from the Old-testament,  and you as well, working out, [Appreciating/deriving, i.e. like graphs/maths, which involves getting the solutions/outcomes via valid calculative reasoning; using what's available/given] and drawing out/getting your salvation from it {whatever that’s validly available) as a valid means to an end, and not on/at it, nor cling/worship it, except GOD alone. And remaining obedient to His Instructions/Directions for you, ..that's what gives life/profits! 

            Because, it's the same Holy  Spirit/Scriptures {God’s word/Bible)   that will tell you, ".. don't answer a fool, least you'll be like them..",  and in another verse of the same chapter/another time, it will tell you, ".. answer a fool, before he/she thinks that he's/she's wise..".  And, it's the same scriptures that Satan used in tempting Christ, and Christ used it also in confronting/overcoming/resisting the devil.  You can imagine; how can someone obey such an aspect of the scripture?  without the help of God via His Holy Spirit in You, always teaching, guiding & directing you on what to do and which to obey at a particular point in time, based on how often we attend/obey His Words/Instructions very faithfully/promptly. Because, people/challenges aren't the same in particular, and quit comparing yourself with anyone, even if/though, they’re/You’ve identical/similar parts/works; despite been identical twins or having identical gifts/destiny like that of how Joseph and Daniel were similar.     

No wonder, Paul (the Apostle)  wrote, ".. workout (appreciate, calculate, derive, value, maintain, reason out, redeem, map-out)  your salvation with fear & trembling..".

 

  Note: he (Apostle Paul)  didn't say, ".. work for your salvation ..".   Rather, he said that you should ".. work out your salvation ..". Because, there’s no salvation in anyone/thing, except, God in Christ. And, Christ has already worked for your  salvation {escape/freedom from evil/God's wrath),  and you're simply expected to work it out, i.e. accepting/receiving Christ, as well as what He has already done for you, by always appreciating, deriving, loving, obeying and retaining Him with the fear (referring to the fear of not wanting to lose Him as your only salvation, if not carefully valued/continually appreciating Him by attending to God [Christ] in you first. And, always perceiving, understanding and obeying His instructions for you with all seriousness)  and trembling (the fear/love of God & re-valuing [value continuously]  your salvation in Him, as it pertains to you, and never wanting to loose Him/it, just like the wise virgins did [in the story of the Ten-Virgins as told in the Holy Scriptures by Christ],  via redeeming the time, and having valid backups/extra, insurance, ..)      

 

Application:   

    Applying/obeying the scriptures, requires a perfect balance/wisdom from the Holy Spirit (God, Christ)  that dwells in you. Because, the Scripture is a double edged sword; it does not only pears through anything, but, can also destroy/kill when misunderstood, just like electricity. And, it can also be used to serve both good & evil purposes.

            The same scripture {Christ, God)  that said, ".. love your enemies, .. ..do good to them that hate you..", also said, ".. Be wise ..",  ".. he/she that honors Me, I  will honor..", ".. if you draw (move) near to God, [i.e. Perceiving, studying, Attending, Meditating, comprehending, realizing, remembering, obeying, appreciating, retaining.. God & His instructions for you],  He {GOD)  will draw near to you..". Because, God has already taken the "first" necessary steps for you, in the sense that, ".. He first loved Us, ... .. while we {Christians/You)  were yet sinners, Christ died for Us ..".

So, we now need to take the next necessary "second" steps, then, He can now take the necessary "third" steps and vice-versa, as we draw closer in our relationship with Him.  Even, Christ  Himself who made the above statements, is also applying wisdom, in the sense that, no enemy of His, will enter His kingdom, as a matter of fact, He's waiting for them (His Enemies)  to be abased. ".. sit thou at my right hand, till I make your enemies your foot stool .."

         Take Note:  It {In the Holy Bible, as written by Apostle Paul),  didn't say that, ".. by the written words/letters/instructions in the scriptures, is the hope of your glory {achievement), but, it says, ".. Christ {Holy Spirit, i.e. God's Chip/kingdom/rule expressing itself via words/every valid controllable communication means at His reach towards whoever that He wants to reach out to for that moment)  in You is the hope of Glory ..”. And, Christ said, “.. it is not by power {Abilities/Romans 12),  nor by might {Capacities/1Corinthians 12), but, by My Spirit {referring to the Spirit of God, i.e. Christ, God, Galatians 5, 1Corinthians 13)  in you ..".    That's why it says, ".. let the word {Christ) dwell richly in you.."  and not in the scriptures alone.

         Tithes (Godly Taxes/budget Measures) And Offerings (baptisms, communications, expressions, interactions ..)  are different things/one in the same thing, but, not entirely different/the same. Because, they're referring to one in the same purpose, but, varies in approach. Just as Holiness is the same thing as simultaneous Perfection/Purity in all Areas/Aspects/Dimensions of Life/things, but, it differs from purity/righteousness, despite having similarities, in the sense that, one can be pure/right spiritually, but, physically dirty, mentally derailed, educationally ignorant, academically illiterate, materially poor, economically wasteful, Environmentally irritating, practically illegal..

 

Because, Holiness [as an English word]  was derived from the word "Holistic", which is modified as Holy. Holiness entails/requires that one must be perfectly pure/right in all things and not just pure/right in one side, and dirty/wrong in the other side, but, perfect in all things, and having everything perfectly complete and always functioning very excellently, healthy and progressively prosperous on every side!

 

Tithes

           Tithes are nothing more than just the minimal stipulated mathematical measurements {Amounts, Gauges. Portions. Percentages. Prices. Taxes. Budgets /Plans /Purposes /Proposes)  of attention/honor/tribute allocations, in which someone decides to give {offer. express), i.e. another unit of measurement that is done in tens. 

 

 

Offering

 

     While, offering (communicating, interacting) refers to the operating, Baptizing, Communicating, manifesting, expressing, publicizing, impacting..    giving, working, distributing, sharing and expressing of the tithes {amounts, plans, measures, budget)  

 

         This implies  that whatever you give or receive, is in measures. And it doesn't matter the measure that you give/receive, please don't boast, because, it depends on what Christ has done on the Cross and what He's still doing in heaven on our behalf, i.e. mediating for us & making intercession for us via His blood that speaks better things for us. That's why God is good to both the just/unjust, and no one is good except God, i.e. it takes Christ' help to be/do good, because, without Him, we can do nothing. But, always bear in mind that, ".. it's in the measure {however you perceive/want)  that you give, that's what will be multiplied back to you..", and the reason {purpose) for tithing, is not only to have and be taught the fear of God, but, also to give us the opportunity to plan {budget, think) /save /keep /set-aside  ahead of time, before the situation manifests for the offering {giving, expressing), as well as to teach/help us to always have the fear {Love, remembrance)  of God {Christ Jesus)  by putting Him first, perceiving & obeying His teachings/commandments in our lives, and loving our neighbors {nearest persons in need of us/our services/valid companionship, i.e. fellowship, starting from your spouse /children /parents /siblings /friends /partners /clients /employees /employers.. to the public, just as Christ has said, ".. a new commandment have i given you, that you love one another as i have loved you, ... do unto others as you would've them do to you..", 

 

         Even though, they might not replicate the love back to you nor will all that you did good for pay you back, but, it is God {Christ)  that will reward you via anybody/means that He wants, because, you're running a race towards Him alone, i.e. to meet Him {God. Christ) at the end, because, He's the one to Judge you at the end of this present life/world. All you need do always is to keep on perceiving, understanding & obeying His instructions. 

 

 

Warning Note: 

           He/She that pays evil for good, evil will never depart from him/her nor will they ever find good!

 

 

 

 

 

Sabbath

          It’s a word that refers to rest, i.e. to stop any form of work for that day, and rest from all labor. But, Christ made us to understand that, it was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath, and this offers us the opportunity to either rest or work, but, must still be respected as a day of rest. I call it my lazy day.

And, this can be seen as a time tithing strategy, i.e. a time to fellowship with God/your family, but, concentrating more on the words of God/Scriptural study time, just like first fruit is a farmers’ tithing strategy.

 

 

 

The Tithe Administration (Distribution, Expression, Giving, Offering)

 

You aren’t worthy of anything good/profitable that you have/receive right now, if it wasn’t for Christ. God {Christ) allows good to happen to everyone, not minding whether they’re of good/bad behaviors, because, no one deserves anything good except God. and we live in a world where some people are more greedy/evil/sinful than others, while, some are pretending, trying, fighting, struggling, denying/disciplining themselves, to be good despite their foolish/sinful nature.

That’s why it is expected for people to be amazed/wonder why God allow good to happen to everyone at various times despite our evil nature, and no one should mock anyone that’s going through crisis/difficult times, neither wonder why bad things happen to people who might be perceived good, because, no one is good except God {Holy Spirit) in Christ, i.e. the only good person who suffered bad/the most terrible situations/things on our behalf!

    You’re not expected to work for your salvation, but, to workout {derive, possess, enjoy, get)  your salvation with fear {value, i.e. not wanting/desiring to loose it)  and trembling {all seriousness, maintenance strategy, prevention of loss), which is done via perceiving, realizing, understanding, comprehending, calculating {reasoning, meditating, planning, budgeting), Strategizing, organizing, preparing, always learning, taking/writing/keeping notes, attending/doing/practicing, etc, from both personal/immediate/external accurate receptive perception/experiences/revelation/science and literature reviews of both God {Christ) in you/others/Holy Bible, and  getting all that’s necessary for the derivations, keeping what is meant to be kept as an insurance, uprooting/removing/repelling all the demonic/humanic/satanic/evil/foolish lustful/sinful desires/influences/thoughts/words/songs/expressions away, and researching, re-studying, foreseeing, foreknowing, preparing, always ready and taking security measures as well as applying wisdom/understanding/other things to where necessary with fore-senses and while remaining very observant with God’s help as we await the coming of Christ, either awake or asleep, to rescue Us via His own valid available means of escape from whatever problem that we may be going through for now, and later, whenever He decides to rapture us away  from His wrath that is coming upon the earth. 

          

             Balancing the Scriptures that explains how to offer the tithes as written in the books of Exodus 22:29, Numbers 18:26-28, Deuteronomy 12:17, 14:22-28, 26:12, 2Choronicles 5-6, Matthew 23:23, 25:31-40, Hebrews 7:5-10, 13:15-16. 1Corinthians 16:1-3.  You must understand that, Life is lived in various aspect (Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Financial, Marital, Material, Academical [Educational], Accommodational [Environmental], Economical, Social, Practical, Eternal..)  at the same time, and these dimensions (aspects)  are so important that, they all must be attended to very well at all times in the same times for you to be/remain Holy (Perfect). Just like the human body parts, if anything should affect one aspect/cell/part of body, the whole body is affected.  But, there's need for priority.  And this makes; spiritual {valid attitude/behavioral/characteristics' driving source)  life comes first, followed by mental, then, physical, financial, marital, material, .. in the list/order of preference {consideration, Priority). And, based on the above topic, I will be focusing on the financial aspect!

 

Attention!

         Please do your giving as you so wish/planned, or however you want, it's your business, and you are not under any obligation to give as prescribed here, but, as it best suits you. Because, God is not after your money/possessions.  [after all, He gave you all that you have right now, whatever you had before now, and will have in the future]. But, He wants you to be happy, lovely/kind/free, i.e. characterized as He is, enjoying all that He has provided for you without placing any demand on you, as well as, just for you to be/remain/behave like Him, because, you're created/made in His Image [Like Him], and by giving back in appreciation for the life [including everything, i.e. obeying/pleasing Him] that He gave you via using your parents/other links.

 

         So that, He can make you behave/do well at all times, just like He made Himself (Christ). And, as a reasonable person, you should know that when someone gives/does /provides you something needed/useful, you're expected to say, "thank you", and to really show that you're grateful via your consistent actions/behaviors towards that person. But, in this case, God desires you to always sincerely, faithfully and obediently keep on expressing/replicating His Attitudes/ Behaviors/ Characters more than the gifts/money/tithes that you are giving. 

 

        That's what He meant when He as Christ condemned the Pharisees/people for been so careful to tithe, but, neglected the more important aspect/lessons to do/learn from the concept. I.e. Loving God genuinely, loyally and consistently via obedience to His instructions for you, and further proving your love for Him via loving your neighbor (anyone near you, as well as relatively far from you, be he/she your spouse/children/ Parents/friends/ Clients/Customers, employer/employee or co-worker/co-league.)

 

        But, please apply wisdom oO. Because, we live in a dangerous/desperate world.  So dangerous that even Christ Himself, the one who made it (the Earth), advises us to be/remain watchful, wiser, smarter, very discreet, secretive, perfectly discerning and more security conscious.  As well as showing and rendering justice, fairness, Mercy, etc, [i.e. those are part of the fruit/ characters/virtuous of God amidst other meta-verse/drives of God's attitudes/behaviors as described in the book of Galatians.5 & 1Corinthians.13], even as you also give help/tithe. 

 

        And, in the new covenant {Agreement, Testament) basis of giving (expressing, offering) is, ".. as one has purposed (proposed, decided, planed, budgeted)  in his/her heart, let him/her be allowed to give (baptize, express, offer, render), not grudgingly (reluctantly), nor necessary (compulsory), for (because)  God loves a cheerful (i.e. another word for Joy, which is also an attitude/behavior & character of God)   giver. (i.e. In this case, the word "Giver", refers to not only giving the gifts/help/money, but, also another word for expression, communication, interaction or baptism. Because, in baptism [which is the adjective for the verb-word "Baptizing"], which also refers to expression/offering, because, baptism involves initiation, i.e. officially giving/imparting someone the ability/rights to do/be or access something. E.g. When Christ baptizes you with His Holy Spirit, it means that, Christ has "given" you the Holy spirit, and you now have what it takes to express [do, manifest]  like/as Christ will do/express if He were you)

 

            Based on scriptural studies, although, God has been abundantly doing/giving things for all of His creations (including you)  in measures, except for Himself as the Christ, whom He gave all things without measure, because, He (God Almighty) is the Christ. 

After God did things according to His own will (measures, plans) for all His creations, Abraham is seen as  the first human to practice this level of measurement of appreciation to God (Christ, Melchizedek)  His friend, for entertaining him (Abraham).

             And based on the fact that I prefer the scriptures to do the public interpretations of what is revealed to me, and as explained above, you'll discover that the tithes are been expressed (offered) in various dimensions/specialties, and based on the fact that Christ is the Almighty God and the bench mark of every perfect validity..             The following has proceeded from these studies based on how it's been revealed to me, though, you are not limited to my own understanding, but, it's just a guide to help you know what/how to tithe & offer (distribute)  for absolute appropriations & well versed allocations.

         

Always know that; "..the kingdom of God is within you .." as explained by Christ. But, i don't encourage eating the tithe that you're meant to offer, because, if you eat it,  the essence of giving it, i.e. the offering purpose is not achieved. And, ".. the kingdom of God is not meat/drink, but, righteousness, peace & Joy in the Holy ghost [i.e. living in the way that pleases Christ]" as written by Paul (The Apostle)

         And, Christ also made us to understand that, ".. Man (male/female)  shall not live by bread (physical needs)  alone, but, by every word that comes out of the mouth (one of the means/tools of communication/expression)  of God ..",  this now validates that, the purpose of tithing is for the teaching (explaining, expressing) of the fear (appreciation, behaviors, value, Love, Reference, obedience, worship.. )  of God (Christ) as well as fellowshipping with Him and treating our fellows in Christ/other areas of communication in the interactive/transactional proxy with others near us, as though it's Christ/Yourself. 

And, based on the fact that life doesn't exist in just an aspect alone, but, in various dimensions, such as spiritual, mental, physical, financial, material, marital, academical, accommodational, educational, environmental, economical, social, practical, endless.. which requires its own supplies. And it's only God that can supply all your needs, according to His riches in Glory.

                         And be aware that, the tithes varies in the offerings, i.e. there are categories of persons that are meant to receive the Tithes (tributary allocations), and at various packages, i.e. You in Your biological parents/Children/extended family, The nearest honorable (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, which were initially called Levites/Priests/ Rabbis/Scribes/Pharisees.. but now called Elders in the faith [Note: Nobody is a Spiritual Father except God, people may call people whom they perceive as fathers in their own understanding, but, Christ is not in support of that, that's why He specifically said, ".. call no one Father/Teacher, .. neither, be called that.."]),  as well as another "special Tithe" percentages/packages for the needy/poor fellows in Christ (i.e. including widows, orphans, friends, strangers, anyone that's in urgent need),  that are nearest to you, which are expected to be given the tithe of every third year, but, I won't advice you to wait that long before helping them.. ..check out these strategies;

 

The Tithe-Offering Strategy: 

                God is the target, i.e. The One to whom you want to appreciate (offer, give, express, invest)  your tithe with. And may be, you can't see Him for now, but, you'll surely meet Him soon. Never the less, you can still give to Him as He has requested in the scriptures. And now, from my scriptural study of tithes and how it has metamorphosed/meta-versed (expressed, offered)  from the first popular practitioner {Abraham)/Israelites in the old testament (agreement, covenant, witness, records} [Although, God has been tithing, i.e. planning & giving all things in measures, with the exception of Himself as Christ, whom He gave all things without measure/limits]  ...to the new testament via the help of GOD, You will discover that, if you aren't careful and without the leading of GOD, you might be missing the Tithe distributive calculations.

         Sometimes, the scripture will tell you to give it to the minister of God/bring it to church fellowship center, or give it directly to the poor every third year, etc. And, it sometimes confuses you the giver, on whom to give, most especially when confronted with both situations at the same time.         

        In such cases, and based on Scriptural studies, personal practice/conviction and the teachings of Christ, as written in the Holy Scriptures; Exodus 22:29, Numbers 18:26-28, Deuteronomy 12:17, 14:22-28, 26:12, 2Choronicles 5-6, Matthew 23:23, 25:31-40, Mark 7:11-13, Hebrews 7:5-10, 13:15-16. 1Corinthians 16:1-3. Please, know/take note that; In the derivation of an answer in mathematical questions/studies, you're to use every given digits/figures/numbers/values {scriptures) and valid mathematical laws  to get the accurate answers. This implies that, no figure {scripture) that's given concerning the equation (issue/subject), should be omitted, neither base on the digit (scripture) that you like/benefits you from/more, nor ignore other values because it doesn't suit you. All scriptures that pertains to this issue/topic on ground, must be duely considered for perfect solution.

So-therefore, Tithes can be offered (done, resolved)  in these following ways;

           Attention!!!

         Tithes are gotten from your net profits/incomes/earnings/free gifts, as earlier explained.  So-therefore, budget {tithe)  respectively as shown bellow, because, God is everywhere at the same time, but, He has witnesses/specifications, i.e. His kingdom (Holy Spirit /Rule /Control gadgets & expression, which refers to you & others in Christ), God does not dwell in church buildings/temples made of hands, but, in people that are consistently manifesting His Characters as explained in 1Corinthians 13, and as also described in Galatians 5:16-26,  nearest to You.

        I will be using %10, removed from %100 net profits/incomes/free..   as an example for the standard measure for now.

And  You will understand  based on God's instructions/leading.

For standardized order, it is given as follows;

 

1. Your biological Parents/Children in the future (The Origin/Future of You)

             You're an agreement composition synergy of both God and your biological-parents, as well as  the pro-creation of you in the future via your children as your posterity and will also make you a trans meta physical/visible being at the rapture of Christ's church or at Christ' Second coming to reign on earth and judge both the living and the dead.

         So-therefore, a #Measure [tithe, i.e. %10 (or more)]  from %100 (or more) of your net incomes/profits, is to be given to your biological Parents if they're alive, as well as giving them your first fruits or using the tithes/First-Fruits in taking good care of them in their old age, by hiring the services of trusted persons/care-givers to look after them, if you/your spouse/children aren't available to administer to their old age needs directly. But, if they are not alive, You can give your first fruits to your nearest church fellowship center/minister of God, or to the Christian Israelis that are living in Jerusalem. And then, keep their substituent tithe portions for your children/their grand children to inherit in the future or to your needy biological brothers, or sisters, or cousins, or niece, or uncles, or aunties. {Take Note: This enables your parents to financially fulfill the aspect of the scriptures that said, " ..a good person, leaves inheritances/gifts for his/her children's children .."

And moreover, your Parents are the priests of God in their homes, and they are the first minister of God that Christ used in bringing you to this world, as well as catered for you at your childhood/young age, before you became independent, they tolerated your mess/weaknesses at infant stage, first brought/taught you the words (Instructions) from God to you via whatever valid access that they had. Although, some parents are evil, they still know how to do/give good gifts to their children, as well as deserving honor despite been bad but responsible. And, Christ/Apostle Paul supports this, based on the facts that: He (Christ) rebuked the religious leaders of His days for encouraging children who had started earning money to ignore their needy parents, while, claiming that they were doing it for God's service.

Meanwhile, God (Christ)  said, ".. honor your father/mother ..", Apostle Paul, included in one of his letters/writings that, ".. Children, obey your parents in (accordance to God's will)  the lord, honor your father and mother, for this is the first commandment with promise, .. .. let children take good care of their parents first, before coming to the house of God, because, charity begins at home ..". 

Note; Obedience differs from honor, i.e. you can honor (respect/give to)  someone, but, you can as well disobey anyone, who tells you to do the wrong things/what's not in accordance to God's will as written in the Scriptures [that's what this phrase, ".. in the lord .." means. i.e. in accordance to God's will]. Ephesians 6:1-3, Mark 7:11-13, 1Timothy 5:4..}

First Fruits Caution Notes:

First Fruit is a tithe strategy for farmers, but, can be adopted by anyone, based on the fact that, the business is yours and not as a salary earner, except, you have another source of income.

That’s why the scripture said, “.. with the first fruit of thy increase ..”. Meaning, that you must have had something before the increase.  

            Your biological/foster parents deserves the first fruits {Benefit, money, gift, profitable thing ..that enters your hand/accounts)  of every year of your life, for as long as they {Your Parents)  are alive, under the condition that they must be true, good and faithful Christians, who are always genuinely manifesting the Characters of Christ {I.e. attitudes/behaviors/habits of the Holy Spirit of God as described in 1Corinthians 13 & Galatians 5).  Because, that's how you know if God is residing in persons, even though they aren't that perfect, sometimes their human attributes may want to overshadow their Godly attributes, but, for as long as you can mostly see the Christ's characters manifesting consistently in them, despite their short comings, still go ahead and give them, because, Christ became the first fruit unto GOD His father {Parent).

 But, if they aren't true Christians and their characters isn't reflecting Christ, please, don't give them. Simply, take it to your nearest Christ' Church fellowship assembly/center/gatherings/meetings. And, find away to honor {give) your biological/needy parents with money/provision care/supplies for their daily care and needs, whether they're Christians or not, and let God be the judge of their negative lifestyles, but, be careful/watchful for yourself with prayers to GOD, to help you leave a Christ worthy life!

            Before, giving your first fruit, apart from the yearly first benefit/gift/money/profitable thing that enters your hand/account, which must be given to God via your parents as genuine Christians or your nearest Christ' church fellowship assembly/center/meetings/gatherings if your biological parents aren't alive or aren't Christians, You must understand that, the business or company must be your own. As a salary earner, You can't be laboring in another man's business/company/farm and be paying first fruit, except if you have another source of income, then, you can give the first fruit {Salary), because, that man or person or company that you are working for, is another means via which God provides for you. And if you're to use your first salary for first fruit, when you don't have another means of income, how will be able to go to work. Please, don't tempt God.

Although, God can do miracles, and may sometimes break protocols just to intervene. But, He is a GOD of order/principle. You can simply pay your tithe from your first salary, but, don't take the unnecessary risk, except He is telling/Leading to do it. So that, you won’t start blaming GOD for scarcity, when He has already provided for you. And tithe is also another word for first fruit, but, it directly relates to farmers, i.e. that's one of the ways farmers pay their tithe, but, as a salary earner, your first fruit is your tithe, except you want to do otherwise!

Note: When priests of old were given tithes, they were also expected to give a percentage from it. I propose that you should take out %1 (or more) out from %10 (or more) of theirs and give to the needy/poor near you, let your parents/children manage the %9 (or more), or you can give your parents/children the whole %10 and device a means of reaching out to the Needy/Poor. But, make sure that you settle your parents/children first before thinking of reaching out to the needy/poor, because, the needy/poor are countless/endless, that's why in economical theories, there is priority, i.e. an order of preference (emergency; most pressing need. Because, needs are endless but the means of satisfying them are limited for now, until the coming of Christ), and like Apostle Paul said; "..charity begins at home". And Christ came specifically (only) for the Jews (His people), but, due to the disobedience/rejection of Him by the Jews, you and I are enjoying salvation today, i.e. Christ started His ministry (Affection, Service) with the Jews first.

 

 

    2. Another %10 from the same %100 of your incomes (which is now remaining %90, because, you had initially taken %10 out from it to give to your biological-parents/children in the future). 

Then, give it to your Fellowship Meetings With Fellow/Senior Christian, who is  a minister of God near you, either as a Priest or Levi or Apostle or Prophet or Evangelist or Pastor or teacher or Gospel Artiste nearest to you, but, don't forget to remove %1 from it, for the Jews who are Christians living in Jerusalem of Israel. This means that, the Christian fellowship center that you attend, gets to receive %9 as a gentile (other fellows/people/nations that aren't Israelis) in Christ, while, the Jewish Christians receives the %1, as a replication of what the early gentile Christian church did, when Apostle Paul instructed them to send something out from the tithes/offerings' collections that was done on every first day of the week. 

And, the Church of Christ Jesus Yeshua Yahweh Emmanuel the Messiah, that is nearest to you, in which you fellowship with them as a body of Christ in that your location, is the new Levi/Royal priest of Christ, and as  Levi/priests old, do take out a percentage as tithe from the tithes that they collected from their fellow Israelis, and give it to the then high priest (Aaron/others following). So is every Christian fellowship center as a body of Christ in their various locations with you as their fellow member, must give something out from your tithes and offerings to fellow Churches/Christians who are Israelis living in Jerusalem as the high priest representation of Christ via their body, because, God does not dwell in temples made of hands, but, in every Christian that's filled/continually refilled and saturated by God's Holy Spirit in Christ, visible via Godly Characters & Charisma.

         

 Then, you can use the remaining %80 of your incomes for the insurance savings investments, Housing & Developmental Packaging of your gifts {Romans 12, 1Corinthians 12) & fruit {1Corinthians 13/Galatians 5) of Christ’s Holy Spirit in You, your Family/domain, & Business transactions. 

The Purpose of the above strategies:

An adge says; ".. when the purpose of a thing isn't known, abuse is inevitable .."

The above strategies, is to enable You perform Exodus 22:29, Numbers 18:26-28, Deuteronomy 12:17, 14:22-28, 26:12, Matthew 25:31-40, 1Corinthians 16:1-3, And Hebrew 13:15 & 16 from your own God side angles. Because, as a Christian, Christ has ordained you a Royal Priest/Levi/Minister of God (Christ Himself) wherever You find yourself with whatever valid that you find/get/have, not minding whether you’re an Apostle/Prophet/Evangelist {Artiste/Dj/MC, blogger)/Pastor/Teacher or not. But, for the fact that you’re an ever authentic faithful obedient Christian that’s always led/possessed/re-filled by His Holy Spirit, you’re called & chosen. And based on the fact/truth of His word as written in the Holy Scriptures, which says,  “..what I {Christ)  say to one (The Apostles..), I say to all {You/Every Christian),  … the kingdom {Domain/Temple/Office/House/Reach/Presence) of GOD {Christ’ Spirit)  is within you… .occupy till I come...  ..Go into all the world {I.e. including all businesses/occupation, not necessarily as a pastor, neither in Church fellowships/gatherings/meetings alone, nor via words alone, but, also in actions/character/deeds..),  and preach {communicate/express/Practice/spread..)  the good/better/best news {Gospel)   … Do the work of an Evangelist {I.e. be a perfect smooth professional in communicating/expressing/practicing/spreading the gospel..)”, i.e. glorifying the Christ, both in songs/words/practice/deeds/valid thoughts/ideas/Expressions and not self. Because, as Christ has said, “.. when I (Christ) am lifted up, then, I’ll draw everyone to myself ..” Via You.

          All you just need is time, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, right company/environment and continuous practical development edition, e.t.c to be addressed as either an Apostle {Administrator, Coordinator), or Prophet {Director, Visioner, Pioneer, Ideologist), or Evangelist {Artiste/Dj/MC, News/Post-Caster, Blogger/Social-Media..), Pastor {HRM, Conductor, Sheppard/Sponsor, Care-Giver, Provider/Supplier, Partner), Teacher {All in One, (Father/Mother, Coach, Tutor, Developer, Instructor, Practitioner, Sampler, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist {Artiste, blogger), Pastor..} etc)   

And that’s why you need to have some finance/plans from your incomes/earnings/free gifts with which you will use in developing, editing & packaging your business/ministry, as well as remove something (its tithe equivalence) for the Christians that are Israelis/Jews by birth, i.e. the Direct descendants of Jacob, living in Jerusalem as required/written in 1Corinthians 16:1-3, i.e. a tithe measure from your own allocated portion as a person (Church/Levi/Temple/Chosen)  of God, and use it to support/send to Christians who are Israelis/Jews {Direct descendants of Jacob) living in Jerusalem. And if you’re fortunate to be a church fellowship (meetings of fellow believers in Christ)/Coordinator/senior pastor/overseer, i.e. if you're privilege to have a family/leader of a Church fellowship center or supporters/community, whatever you generate from the offerings/tithes/dues/donations from people in your fellowship center/organizations, you're expected to remove not just the normal tithe from your assembly/business/organizations' offerings/profits, but, also another portion of tithes for Christians that are Israelis/Jews via natural birth, who are living in Jerusalem.

Note; Christ/Paul/Peter & Other Apostles/every individual that you read about in the Holy scriptures, once had their basic businesses/profession, before the developmental edition of  themselves to become more admirable than where they were at first.

 

Every portion of your incomes that's given to your biological parents/Children & other fellow honorable/Senior Levi {Minister of God)  nearest to you at your regular valid Christian fellowship center, is to enable you share as required in Hebrew 13:16, an to reach out to other ends that are beyond your reach, as well as to show respect, because, you're expected to consider them {Others) of double honor. And moreover, the Levi is the needy coordinating factor, i.e the person/entrepreneur that coordinates every other factors/Persons such as the needy strangers, widows & orphans from His/Her own angle/end, just like the entrepreneur coordinates other factors of production/resources such as land, capital, labor.

          Tithe is proposed/meant to be given to these four sets of persons, i.e. The Needy (may not be necessarily a poor person, but, he/she is in need, because, sometimes, the rich may also be in need, just like Christ needed the gifts from the wise men, not because He can’t provide for Himself)  Strangers, Orphans, Widows and the Levi/Priest now known as a Fellow/Senior Christian, who is  a minister of God nearest to you; whom you always/occasionally go to his/her fellowship center, or where you fellowship with other fellows in Christ, and he/she is serving either as a Priest or Levi or Apostle or Prophet or Evangelist or Pastor or teacher or Gospel Artiste near you, who is also a Senior Minister of God (Christ Jesus) in the Christian fellowship center that you regularly or occasionally attend, and where he/she co-ordinates the people/Orphans/Widows/Strangers that you may not know [I will explain later].

And, you must also know/understand that; You're a minister of God wherever you find yourself for now, with whatever valid  that you find/Get to do in whatever profession/vacancy/work/business for now. And, you can now use the rest %3 or however the amount that you wish to add to it, for the  reaching out of any nearest needy that’s around/Near you, or you can as well use it for the managerial administration of Hebrew 13.

        And, as I earlier promised to explain more;

Since, you are a royal priest/Levi in Christ, and you are given the privilege of collecting tithes, and you're also expected to give the tithes. As well as, understand that, the concept about tithing from God's perspective, is also that you can fellowship with other fellows in Christ, interact and be taught more about God in Christ.           

            And, as stated in one of the verses of Deuteronomy 14, it says that, you shouldn't forget to share your tithe portion with the Levite (Initially known in Israel as the one [the tribe] that's appointed to assist/serve the people/priest in the Temple. But, since Christ [God] came, and concluded the old way via His Death on the Cross/the splitting of the curtain that covered the Holy of Holies in the Temple at Jerusalem of Israel.

He's the God/King/Priest Almighty, both in Heaven & all Universe, and has told Us [as Christians] to occupy till He comes, and has put on Us, His seal of Authority, i.e. His Holy Spirit, and when He returns, He will reward everyone as described in the book of Mathew 25:31-40.
          

  So, every Christians, including; Israelites & every other nation [Gentiles] in Christ, deserves to benefit/eat from the Tithe, but, there are those to whom it's more useful for, based on the fact that they're on special duty for the Kingdom of Christ on earth, i.e. Christian Ministers of God. It also includes you and everyone in Christ, because We (Christians) are now the new Royal Priest/King/Levites, but, not everyone of us is yet matured enough for the task of being Holy [All Perfect] as Christ [God] is. 

So, He had to share Himself [Gifts] via His Spirit, to as many that receives/obey Him in addition to the natural gifts that He (Christ, God) gave us from our natural birth. Also, including now His Holy Spirit, to whom He gave us as soon we desired/realized the need for His Holy Spirit to always coordinate, teach & empower us to keep doing as He did/still doing, as well as to help us behave well at all times, so that, we won't turn out to be evil.

Some of us are privileged to be ahead of others, and having more access to people [disciples, students, fans, followers]. And just like in the natural birth, where you have first born, second born, third born, etc, in the same family, even, when they're identical twins, one must senior the other, and the most senior is called Elder by both the parents/younger ones, as well as the second born is an elder in sight of the the third born, and so and so forth in an Hierarchical order.     

            But, in Christianity (The Supernatural Order), Just like Christ [God, Melchizedek] is an Elder in the sight of Abraham, despite been his (Abraham's) friend/Great - Great - Great... grand Son. that's how an Elder is in Christ/Christianity. I'm not referring to someone who is elderly/white haired via natural age, but, i am referring to a Fellow/Senior Christians, who  are  minister of God nearest to you, either as a Priest or Levi or Apostle or Prophet or Evangelist or Pastor or teacher or Gospel Artiste near you, who became officially/Unofficially proven anointed, appointed or matured before you] in the faith via a combination of both Charisma [Romans 12, 1Corinthians 12] and Character [Galatian 5, 1Corinthians 13] in the Christian/Heavenly journey. 

        They may call themselves; Apostles, Gospel Artistes, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Servants,..) near you, I.e. they're the coordinating factor that coordinates all other factor from his/her own end, just as You (the Entrepreneur) is the coordinating factor of all other factors of production/resources, i.e. Land, Capital, Labor, etc from your own ends.

The above is based on my personal strategy for administering (distributing, expressing, giving, offering)  the tithes (budgets, measures, gauges, portions)  from both private/public earnings/incomes, but, if you're an individual/minister of Good (G-d, God)  in Christ,  that has congregations/businesses/companies of your own. You should know that your businesses/companies/ministries are different from you, despite been the owner. So, tithe from your own personal profit allocations from the net profits of your own businesses/companies/ministries, as well as from other valid means/sources of incomes which aren't yours, but, You're a partner/worker/affiliated to. Then, from the net profits of the company which you own, You're expected to also tithe, and as written in 1Corrinthians 16:1-3, you're expected to find away to always send another special (separate) tithes from your various businesses/the collective tithes from your businesses/companies ministries to Christians who are Jews/Hebrews via natural birth, living/staying in Jerusalem, just as the early Gentile Churches did via Paul's instructions. Because, Christ will reign/rule from there, during His Earthly millennial reign. And, more over, it's their heritage, because, their fore-fathers paid the price that we (gentiles) are enjoying today, and they worked it out for them, where as, our gentile fathers where busy serving other gods, and sabotaging the destinies of their children.

             Although you have your own immediate family/People to fellowship/interact with at home/work & joints/business places/ neighborhood. Because, as a father/Mother or general/officer/teacher/ Doctor/Politician, Master/king/leader or someone that has people/supporters/ clients/customers around you as a celebrity/business/sports' person, buyer/seller, Skilled/Unskilled, employer/employee, contractor/professional or an inter-actor/blogger, etc, for as long as you're alive & well as a Christian, you're a minister (Apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, student, ..)  of God [Good. Christ]/His Priest in the capacity of whatever valid activities/occupation or professional terminology that you are in/found yourself doing or available for you to do/work, and then develop/progress from there to an administration {where you are the coordinator/leader of people which are not just your country/tribe/family members, but, also includes your friends/people from other nations, because, as a destined Royal Priest/Levi/King in Christ, you now have a kingdom or attained/attaining the heights/state where you now have apprentice/clients/ customers/disciples/ followers/employees/ subjects, ..). But, never the less, once in a while, on regular bases or as you're chanced, you still need to attend fellowship with other dimensions of God in Christ from other fellows in Christ, because, that's why the information technology is succeeding above every other forms of exploits/leaning, because, its operations' development progressions are based on the principle of these words, "learn, understand & relearn the truth", that's one of what it means to be "born-again", i.e. re-born, live & live again, create & recreate, generate & regenerate, innovative & renovate.., but in the midst of these born-again processes, the media involves association/integration with God/fellows who are on the right track, so as to be kept alive and on track, despite your level of achievement/knowledge, because, although, fuel tankers' vehicles already has its containers/tankers loaded with fuel in/on it, they still need to cue/subject themselves with others in line at the fueling station/hub. And   God's General concept about tithing, is also that, wherever you are in the face of the earth, as Christian, when you get/receive tithes/ incomes/ profits/ offerings, you're also meant to give tithes from the incomes/ Profits/ tithes/ offerings that you get/receive, and then, those that you gave are meant to also replicate your tithe acts to whom they're lead or may be probably back to you. And, as these tithes are been distributed, Church Institutions/fellowship centers, as well as rich/capable individuals are meant to send their own tithes/offerings to fellow Christians that are Israelis, living in Jerusalem within the Land of Israel. Because, Christ will reign from there as His Earthly Kingdom Head Quarters and moreover, their fore-fathers paid the price of the salvation that you and i are enjoying today.        

          Please, even as you administer (do. express. give. offer)  the tithes (measures. portions. budgets. proposal), directly to the needy Minister of God/poor (Deut.14/Mat.25.31-40)  in church fellowship assembly/centers or gatherings of fellows in Christ nearest to you, also remember to use yours to do as written in/via Heb.13:15&16, by taking the reserved portion (tithe-measure)  for yourself, from which you'll use in appreciating the services of gospel music Artistes/ministers/producers of Good in Christ that you meet/attended their Church/Musical/Studio programs, services & secessions, as well as friends/strangers that asks you for assistance, and fellows in Christ nearest to you that are in need of assistance. Because, (1) There are needs that are beyond your notice and some people maybe afraid/ashamed to ask for money/supplies from you directly. (2) the purpose of tithe is to teach you to fear/love God and appreciating Him via the needy/poor among your known/unknown fellows in Christ, and a needy can be anybody in Christ including ministers of God.   Also, make sure to appreciate those that have served You in/via whatever valid abilities/capacities as they've served/transact your needs with their goods. .. because, "..Man (Male/Female)  shall not live by bread (physical needs)  alone (there are other areas of needs), .. but, by every word (instructions. expressions)  that comes out from the mouth of God (Good. Christ).."  and  "..the laborer is worthy of their wages.."

        God doesn't have favorites, except Himself {Christ). Which implies that everyone is a pastor (one that has pastures, i.e. Abilities, capabilities, products, goods, Romans.12, 1Corinthians.12)  and minister (one that serves the purpose for which they're endowed, though, terminology (titles or professional cliché)  may differ, and not everybody is required to teach via speech/writing, but, can teach via the sphere of what they know how to do. Even Satan (the evil one/ones)  is an angel/demon, apostle/apostate, pastor/minister/teacher in his own evil capacity, because, it takes time, study, reason, comprehension, practice, research, integration, re-innovating perception, reception, obedience.. but, these issues, i.e. comparisons, greed, Sin, irresponsibility & no wisdom [some people abuse/ignore what they know & despise what they don't understand] hinders them)

 

 *Note.2:* Although,  the offering of the tithe is done as you wish, but, you must understand that the Amounts/Portions/Tithes/Taxes are splits (gauges. measures)  of/from your net profits {whatever that's left, after removing all expenses/capital/the amounts/cost of what it took you to get the profit without adding your personal pleasures to the cost)  as a business person/contractor  and not by your gross profits {mixture of both expenses & profits), and it's given to Christ via Mat.25:31-40 /Hebrews 13:15-16, and it's ".. by their fruit (Gal.5/1Cor.13, i.e. those that consistently/truly behave like Christ), you shall know (via study)  them {Those that are of Christ), and not by power {Rom.12, i.e. Abilities/Charisma), nor by might {1Cor.12, i.e. Attainment/Capacity), ..But, by His Spirit {Perfect Characters' Driving force/expression of Gal.5/1Cor.13)"    And, nevertheless, it's in the measure {Amount. Percentage. Units. Tithe) that's offered from you to others {Deu.14/Mat.25:31-40 /Hebrew 13:15&16), that's what will return back to you in multiplied measure. 

             ..Be/Remain ever wiser by perceiving, obeying & relying on God's direction within/via the Holy scriptures/spirit/you, and knowing that the Constant manifesting of God's Characters (Gal.5/1Cor.13)  via any individual is how to identify people/you of God, and "..not by power (abilities. Grace)  nor by might (Rom.12/1Cor.12), but, by His (Christ's) Holy Spirit (as described in Gal.13/1Cor.13).." 

            .. because, anyone/everyone that serves/supplies your needs, either as your spouse, children, parents, friends, employers, clients, customers, supporters, coordinator, guardian, employees.. via impact/any valid means is your pastor/prophet/minister in that capacity & area/aspect of your life, because, everyone/you has been made by God for the services of His purposes/provisions for your life including others, but, not all of them are approved/accepted of God, even though they may be good, .. because, God cannot be limited in reaching out to you/anyone & the enemy can disguise {Pretend to be good, but, not for too long)

            ..the letter (Scriptures /Bible /Means Of Expression)  kills, ..but, it's the Spirit (revelation & understanding from God's point of view)  that gives life (Benefits/Profits based on its relevance to you). Because, Although, Joseph and Daniel had the same destiny {Serving Kings with their [Joseph & Daniel] similar kind of gifts and characters, but, their temptations/challenges, weren't the same). So-therefore, study the scripture for yourself as He guides you, because, you're running a race towards Him, i.e. to account to Him. So, nobody should teach you the scriptures based on their own experience, but, they can guide you if you want to follow their line of purpose.

             Nevertheless, let only God {Christ Jesus) be your only concluding Guide via His Life as written in the new testament of the holy scriptures, because, He's the Melchizedek Whom Abraham paid Tithe to "..before Abraham, I {Christ Yeshua) existed.."  and He is the author, mediator & finisher of your faith {what you hope to become/benefit from God).

            Although, I've weighed (studied/tested)  all sides. Even though, they (fellowship centers/coordinators) aren't all perfect {Holy, i.e. Completely satisfactory/simultaneously effective in/on all sides), But, I now realize the reason why Paul (The Apostle)  wrote, "..when brothers/sisters are fellowshipping together, there's The Blessing..",  And as Christ has said, "..where two or three are gathered {communicating. interacting. fellowshipping. transacting)  in my name {Purpose. effect, i.e. to do my instructions), there I am..",  but, it doesn't annul the fact that you can't worship God all by yourself, because, He (Christ Himself) also said, ".. if a person keeps my commandments, I and the father is with him/her.." 

            Tithes (Gauges/Taxes) are just measurements (%). Everyone/things, gets/receives & are given/offered in measures/prices. And needs are in varieties & sometimes arises behind your scene. Give your tithes to your nearest fellowship center, but, have extra kind attitude/money for the needy (anyone that has urgent need) and poor (anyone that doesn't have enough) near you. So as to balance the equations of Hebrew 13:15&16, because, though it is meant to be given wholly to your fellowship center/coordinators, but, since Christ is God Himself and The Melchizedek, whom Abraham paid tithe to, has paid the price {fulfilled all the Law on our behalf) and has prescribed His appreciation via Matthew 25:31-40 & Hebrew 13:15-16, and due to some current trends in some of the church fellowship Centers where some of its coordinators claim ownership of Church instead of Christ, allocate church properties to themselves/their children instead of the people, and based on the fact that the tithes (measures. Portions)  is all for one and one for all, partitioning is now needed to be applied, because, the tithe, had at various times in past, gained expression/offered in different forms, and where you don't have the chance give a part to the needy directly, you can send all to your fellowship center

       

Attaining!

            Don't ever depend on yourself, neither on Luck, nor on Anyone/Anything except God (Christ Jesus) 

            Always perceiving, reasoning & obeying Him, as soon as you perceive His words instructing you via any valid means, most preferably via His Holy Scriptures & Spirit of Christ in you, which is the hope of your glory (achievements. admiration)  as you research, study & sense the appropriate instructions/opportunities..

 

In Conclusion:

            Whoever/whatever you fear, becomes your God. Respect (Appreciate, Regard) people, but always fear (worship, obey) GOD (Christ Jesus) alone. 

            Because, only Him, have all things in absolute perfection; including the power to kill, resurrect & recreate!

            And keep on loving, serving & Glorifying Him, appreciating & taking good care of His own, starting from yourself to the next nearest persons (i.e. neighbor, which starts from your spouse, children, parents, friends, clients, siblings.. people that you meet or interact with, most especially the needy & poor around you.)

Note:

            There's a difference between the needy (one who is in need of your help/attention/services) and the poor (one that doesn't have enough & lacks the basic necessities)  in any aspect of life!

        A rich looking person/the rich & royals can be a needy.

Note: 

        Understand that the Holy Scripture as a book of record/witness, just like electronic gadgets that are used for records, so is the Holy Bible written in these structures, i.e. Pre-Text (Future now; what's about to happen), Mid-Text (present: what's happening now, i.e. happened between now and the past, transcending to what's happening  between now and the future), and Post-Text (what has already happened in the correlation with what was said), and this also has to do with some common words/practice that were been done in the time of old testament {Agreement. Covenant), how it is been done/practiced now {in my time) which may also be practiced in your time, as well as how it may express itself in the future, using scriptural relevance with scriptural reference expression in both the past, present & future!
