Many Christians do not know the difference between tithes, offerings, and alms. We know that the Lord blesses every dime, every dollar, and everything we give. Tithes are what we owe God! It is ten percent of our income. When we give above that, we are giving offerings and we are “going the extra mile.”

So, what are alms? The story of alms is told in Acts 10, about a devout man of God named “Cornelius,” who feared God with all his household and gave much alms to the people, the poor, and prayed to God always. In a vision, an Angel of God came to him and said, “Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.” It means, there was a special memorial of all those alms that came up before God. Every one of these offerings will bring blessings into your life.
