"God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them : Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth." Genesis 9.1
The very first thing God had done for Adam and Eve had been to bless them ! (Genesis 1.28)
God gave Noah and his sons the plan and the instructions for the blessing to work. He gave them the basic truth about seed, time and harvest.
God gave Noah and his sons the plan and the instructions for the blessing to work.
Some people say that tithe, or offering, is not part of the New Testament ; but God told Noah that the seed, the time and the harvest would not cease ! God also gave Noah and his sons the same responsibilities he had given to Adam and Eve.
They had to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. God did not tell them to fill only one part of the earth or to be fruitful only in one corner of their territory. God expected Noah and his sons to bring blessing to all of the earth.
A question for today
God's plan for you is to bless you so that you are a blessing ! Will you follow his instructions to bring the blessing ? Do you sow by means of tithes and offerings to reap a harvest ?
