Tithing testimonies have become commonplace in Christian circles. Some preachers use tithe testimonials to coerce people into giving money. In many instances, the ‘testifiers’ are examples of how everyday Christians can receive God’s blessings when they tithe. This concept misleads believers and suggests that tithing will result in life-changing transformations. It’s an easy trap to fall into. However, such gimmicks gloss over the work of turning a life around.
YOU MAY HAVE seen or heard those tithe testimonials. For example, some Christians claim they receive blessings, especially financial ones, when they tithe. How about the testimonials from those who said they were struggling when they didn’t tithe, and once they started tithing, their situation improved?

Why do I say that?

FAQs About Tithes
How Much Tithes Are You Supposed to Give?
The traditional amount for tithes, as mentioned in the Bible, is one-tenth of ancient Israel’s crops and cattle. This percentage is derived from passages such as Leviticus 27:30 (KJV), which states, “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.”
However, the New Testament does not specify an amount. Scriptures focus more on the spirit of giving rather than a specific percentage. Each believer’s decision on how much to give is often guided by personal conviction and the teachings of their particular church.
How Often to Tithe?
In the Bible, the frequency of tithing is not explicitly defined in terms of modern-day practices such as weekly or monthly. The practice of tithing comes from the Old Testament, where tithes were given from the produce of the land annually, as seen in Deuteronomy 14:22 (KJV): “Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.”
In contemporary Christian practice, the frequency of tithing is often determined by individual conviction and church doctrine. Many believers choose to tithe with each paycheck.
Why Is Tithing So Important?
Tithing is essential to many Christians because they see it as giving back to God a portion of what they have received. In the Old Testament, it was a commandment to support the Levites and the Temple services, as stated in Numbers 18:21 (KJV): “And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.”
For many contemporary Christians, tithing symbolizes trust in God’s provision and is seen as an act of worship and gratitude. While not all Christian denominations view tithing as a mandatory practice, it is often taught as a discipline that fosters generosity and helps support the church’s mission and outreach.
