Series 1 Title: 
Kingdom Stewardship Devotionals — Understanding Tithes & Offerings

 
✝️ Soulspring Devotional ✝️

Hymn from Global Canticle

No. 2 (Sec 8): Built by Grace
Scriptures: Ephesians 4:3 · Colossians 3:14 · Psalm 133
Suggested Tune: St. Anne
Meter: 8.6.8.6
Key: B♭ Major

Built by grace, not human hands, 
Not by wealth or grand designs. 
But by love that understands, 
And mercy that refines.

Built by grace, each stone aligned, 
Each heart a sacred part. 
The Spirit binds what God has signed— 
A temple of the heart.

Built by grace, not pride or fame, 
Not walls that split or strain. 
But unity in Jesus’ name, 
And peace that breaks the chain.

Built by grace, the Church shall stand, 
Though storms may shake the land. 
For Christ has drawn with nail-scarred hand 
A house no hate can strand.

 

🌈Key Scripture
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 open the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until there is no more need.” 
Malachi 3:10.


Devotional Teaching:

The instruction in Malachi 3:10 is one of the most direct and powerful invitations God ever gives His people. It is not a suggestion. It is not a gentle encouragement. It is a command with a promise, a divine principle with supernatural results.

1. What is the Storehouse?
In ancient Israel, the storehouse was a physical place connected to the temple. It was where the tithes were collected so that:

🦞 The priests and Levites could serve without distraction  
🍭 The poor, widows, and strangers could be fed  
🍬 The temple could function  
⛩️ Worship could continue  
⛱️ God’s work would never lack resources  

The storehouse was God’s system for sustaining His kingdom activity on earth.


🔥Encouraging Scripture 
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”  
— Luke 6:38.


2. What is the Storehouse Today?
Today, the storehouse represents the spiritual house that feeds you — the church or ministry where:

🗼 You receive the Word  
🛕You grow spiritually  
🏗️ You are discipled  
🏕️ You are covered in prayer  
🏘️ You are equipped for kingdom assignment  

Your tithe belongs where your spirit is nourished.  
Your tithe belongs where your soul is fed.  
Your tithe belongs where your faith is strengthened.

3. Why “Bring the Whole Tithe”?
God didn’t say “bring part of it.”  
He didn’t say “bring what you feel like.”  
He said bring the whole tithe.

Why?

Because partial obedience is still disobedience.  
Because God is not honored by leftovers.  
Because the tithe is holy — it belongs to Him.

When we bring the whole tithe, we are saying:

⚖️ “God, I trust You fully.”  
🔶 “I honor You completely.”  
🪀 “I obey You without reservation.”  

4. The Only Place God Says “Test Me”
This is extraordinary.  
God never invites us to test Him in prayer, fasting, worship, or holiness.  
But in tithing, He says:

“Test Me in this.”

Why?

Because giving requires trust.  
Because money reveals the heart.  
Because tithing confronts fear.  
Because God wants to prove His faithfulness to you.

He is saying:

“Try Me.  
Obey Me.  
Watch what I will do.”

📜 Supporting Scripture 
“Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
— Proverbs 3:9–10. 

 
5. The Promise of Open Heavens
When you tithe, God promises:

✅ Open windows of heaven  
✅ Overflowing blessing  
✅ Provision without limit  
✅ Divine protection from devourers  
✅ Increase that cannot be contained

This is not prosperity manipulation — it is covenant truth.  
Tithing aligns you with God’s supernatural economy.

6. The Storehouse Blessing Is Global
When believers tithe faithfully:

🏛️ Churches grow  
⛲ Ministries expand  
🏠 Missionaries are sent  
🏡 The unreached hear the gospel  
🏩 The poor are supported  
🏟️ The kingdom advances  

Your tithe is not just a personal act — it is a global seed.

This is why GAIA teaches stewardship:  
Because the storehouse blessing is not just for individuals — it is for nations.
