So Much Blessing You Have No Room to Store It

“‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’” (Malachi 3:10)

This promise sounds too good to be true

This promise says some amazing things. First it tells you to bring “the whole tithe” into the storehouse, and then challenges you to “test God” regarding it. That’s pretty bold!

What does it mean?  

Definitions  

·      Test - A procedure for critical evaluation.

·      The whole tithe - Not merely a portion of it. God is not served with partial service (See the story of Ananias and Sophia, Acts 1:5-11, who held back some).

So, you can say it this way: Bring all the tithe, not just part of it, to God’s storehouse. And when you do, God will bless you so much that He will open Heaven’s floodgates with such an abundance of blessings that you won’t have room enough to store it! Test God and prove that it’s true! Wow! That’s huge!

Therefore

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6.38 ESV)

Because God loves a cheerful giver!

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. 9:7 ESV)
