The teaching of Bro Eli on Tithing. There has been a challenge about some misconception about whether it is the obligation of Christians to pay tithe.
From the old testament Bro Eli explained that title was then the divine commandment for the israelites in order to support the Levitical priest who by that time had no inheritance. It’s what got it from the book of Hebrews 7:5.
The levite received 10 percent from other tribes in order for them to sustain and this was known as a mosaic law. Brother Eli gave us an important shift when Christ came and he was the head of the priesthood. HEBREWS 7:12 revealed that there was a change in this priesthood. And there was a necessity to change the law also.
In the old testament where the levitical tithing system which was adopted by the Levitical preisthood but it no longer applies since Christ came. Instead give freely as believers. In 2 CORINTHIANS 11, this scripture emphasizes on believers giving voluntarily from our hearts not out of compulsion.
This teaching has liberated many Christians of today and this explanation by Brother Eli has showed to us that we should move beyond those rigid tithing principles and embrace giving cheerfully, selflessly and from our hearts. And we are called to align this action to Christ focusing on love and generosity and growing our faith.
We should give out of love and not out of tradition.
It is true that tithing is not a law in the New Testament
I hope this letter finds you well and thriving in your creative endeavors on this incredible platform. I'm writing today to address a topic that is close to my heart and essential for the growth and prosperity of our community: engagement.
It's fantastic to see many of you actively posting content, sharing your perspectives, talents, and insights. It enriches us all and makes Hive a diverse and stimulating place to be. However, let us not forget that Hive is not just a platform for broadcasting our voices but also an arena for interaction, dialogue, and communal growth.
If you're someone who regularly posts content, I encourage you to also take some time to explore the work of others. Upvote the posts that resonate with you, offer thoughtful comments, and consider reblogging content that you find exceptionally valuable. Your engagement doesn't have to stop at the boundaries of your own posts; in fact, it's through collective interaction that we can truly build a community that thrives on meaningful discourse.
There is a certain magic that occurs when we don't just speak, but also listen; when we don't just take, but also give. This sense of reciprocity not only enriches our individual experiences but also fortifies the Hive community as a whole.
I understand that we all lead busy lives, and time is a precious commodity. However, even small acts of engagement can create ripples that turn into waves of positive change and growth for all of us. So let’s embrace this not as a chore, but as an opportunity to amplify the heartbeat of this extraordinary community we are all a part of.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to seeing how we can elevate the Hive experience collectively, by contributing not just content but also the valuable currency of engagement.
Best regards,
