One time when I was pastor years ago, a man came to me and showed me the expensive alligator shoes he had just bought. He said he had been saving to give his tithe money, but he spent the money on his shoes. I looked at him and told him, “You are walking in stolen shoes!” “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” Malachi 3:8 — “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10 — God has a formula, which works!
