Magnify your 10%- Bro. Bo Sanchez

Bro. Bo’s topic is about tithing. He has his personal opinion about it. He said, that Catholics weren’t thought to tithe, it’s always to tip. It’s a horrible teaching not to tithe, for Is a law of generosity. He also taught us that we should be specific especially in Tithing. We should declare: GIVE 10% of YOUR INCOME TO THE LORD. To give until it hurts. He also compared how Born Again Churches were built all over the world, simply because their members prioritize tithing.

He also said that he and his accountant were facing problems in Feast.

Bad news: They don’t have the millions yet to build 1,000 Feasts all over the world.

Good news: They have a millions and millions and millions to build 1,000 Feasts.

Another Bad news: All money is still on our pockets.

4 Blessings of tithing

1.     Habit- habit of giving.
      -  Tithing should be done regularly, so that blessings will come regularly.

2.     Happiness- It helps to provide poor of poor people needs.

3.     Holiness- Greed destroys us.
-       You gain freedom from materialism.
-       Set apart something for God.
4.     Hunger- Calling for God.


He also cited that a person who has scarcity mindset can’t tithe. He challenged us with this question: When there’s nothing left? Can we give?

Other important questions:

1.     Where do I bring my tithe?
Answer: I bring the full amount of tithes to the temple.
-       It also increases my abundance by prioritizing tithing.
-       Giving alms is different from tithing.
2.     Should I give based on my net or gross?
Answer: Should I be blessed based on my net or gross.

I decide to tithe even if it hurts.

  1. The New Testament teaches generous, sacrificial giving, from the heart, according to our means. For some, $1 might be a sacrifice, while for others, even giving 50% of their income might not induce a sacrifice. In the Old Testament, ONLY the farmers tithed, and it was equal percentage (a tenth). The New Testament teaches the principle of equal sacrifice instead of equal percentage. Equal sacrifice is much harder to achieve, if not impossible, than giving ten percent.

    NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE pays the Biblical tithe today.

    Leviticus 27:30-33, Numbers 18: The First Tithe - a tenth of crops and animals and commanded to take the tithe to the Levites.

    Deuteronomy 14:22-27: The Second Tithe aka The Festival Tithe - a tenth of crops, plus add to that the firstborn animals, and take for the yearly feast.

    Deuteronomy 14:28-29: The Third Tithe aka The Three-Year Tithe aka The Poor Tithe - a tenth of crops, kept at home, and invite the Levites, widows, orphans, stranger to eat.

    Now, tell me. Which of the above three tithes commanded by God does anyone follow today?

    The ONLY people in the Old Testament that were commanded to tithe were those who INHERITED THE PROMISED LAND WITH EVERYTHING ON IT. They got the land, house, animals, crops, etc. ALL FREE AND CLEAR. No mortgage payment or rent to pay. And THEY were commanded to tithe on the crops and animals and take it to the Levites who INHERITED the tithe INSTEAD OF the promised land with everything on it. No one else tithed. Wage earners did not tithe. Jesus didn’t tithe. Paul didn’t tithe. Peter didn’t tithe.

    Jesus paid the whole price. Tithing ended at the cross.

  2. Woah! this is definitely a real thing. me, I decided to tithe from my allowance maybe. Because it's truly difficult to follow 10% from the income for I'm my family's bread winner.

    Btw, what's your religion?
