A Tithing Illustration - from the garden

As a pastor I use examples to illustrate things for the folks so they can get a handle on the spiritual or invisible.

Once I used an illustration in which I took a cantaloupe to illustrate the tithe and what comes with what is given.Out of ten cantaloupes the first one becomes the tithe or what you bring to God in the storehouse.One might think that the cantaloupe is the only thing given. However when you bring the cantaloupe to God, you also have brought all the tithe to God. By this I mean that everything that is involved with the cantaloupe is brought to God.To illustrate, I cut the cantaloupe in half and what we saw was that within the cantaloupe that we brought to God were seeds of more cantaloupe.So within the tithe you bring to God are the seeds then of your future harvests.

It seems that what God makes always bears the seeds of more in it, even man. This perpetuates or continues ongoing blessings and/or provision.

Be Blessed
