Bring (as an act of worship) the full amount of your tithe - the whole tenth of your income - into the storehouse (local church), that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, go ahead and put Me to the test, check Me out, experiment with Me, test Me, give Me an opportunity to prove myself and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven for you - I will throw open the floodgates of heaven for you - and pour out on you so much blessing (financially and materially) that you will not have room enough to contain it. Then I will rebuke the devourer for you - I will protect the source of your income, I will stop the thief from destroying the fruit of your labors. - Malachi 3:10, 11 (Paraphrased)
