Note: Therefore it is very important to live close to the Lord in prayer in order to be sure of paying tithes where they will be profitable to Him and the true cause for which the Lord Yahshua died.

Note: We actually do not give the Lord anything in paying out tithes, for the tenth of our income is His. He says it belongs to Him. He created the heavens and the earth. Naturally the earth and that which is on it belongs to Him. See Psalms 24:1 and 50:10. He upholds and sustains it. Hebrews 1:3.
The tithe which is holy unto the Lord actually provides us with another pair of feet to go forth with the gospel of salvation as our Savior would do if He were actually here on earth again as a man. It gives us a part in preaching the message of salvation unto all the world, to which work He has called every person baptized and redeemed from the world.
