Open Heaven For Teens – 27 September 2025 TOPIC: God Doesn’t Need Tithe
MEMORISE
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. – Leviticus 27:30
SCRIPTURE READING
Malachi 3:7-12
7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 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 throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Open Heaven For Teens – 27 September 2025 MESSAGE
Nowadays, many preachers on social media platforms tell people that paying tithe is an Old Testament doctrine. Some of them say that people should only give the prophet’s offering by taking money to their pastors directly. I do not know the Bible they read, but my Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16 that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God.
Tithing is a principle instructed by God, and it can bring unprecedented blessings. It is a test of your obedience to God’s word, checking if you will trust Him with your finances. As a student who receives allowances, you can give ten percent of it as tithe in your place of worship. Likewise, if you make extra money from services you render through your skills or gifts given to you by people, give God a tithe of it.
The truth is that God does not spend your tithe; however, the church uses it to fund kingdom projects that glorify God. I give more than ten percent of all my increase to God as tithe, and that is one of the reasons He keeps blessing me financially. My dear child, do not listen to wrong doctrines; pay your tithe.
KEY POINT
Obey the biblical doctrine of tithing and watch God prosper you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 51:1-53:12, Ephesians 5:1-33
HYMN 30
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
3. Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we’ll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]
