“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Covenant with Tithes”

Genesis 9:14-16 Genesis 28:18-22 Genesis 31:13 Psalms 89:34
Deuteronomy 8:18 Deuteronomy 7:9, 10

• Covenant is a weapon of war – Just like obedience is a weapon of war

• The greatest covenant that is in scripture is – The covenant we have through the Blood of Jesus Christ

• However, there are other covenants that are part of the promises of God for you to benefit from as you obey God

• God is a “God of covenant” - God promises to do – If you will do

• Covenant: Agreement – Contract – Promise – Vow – Similar to our understanding of a firm handshake

• The greatest motivator for covenant is love - You should tithe because you love God

• God is committed to covenant – You must see and value covenant as God does

• Every time God made a covenant with man – He gave them a sign

• The sign is to remind God of His covenant with man - With every promise – There is a sign

• The tithe is a sign of the covenant – God is not committed until you do your part

• Every time you give – You remind God of the covenant – You also remind God that you remember covenant

• The word remember is a covenant word - It means to recall – Bring to remembrance – It also means memorial

• Let your giving be a memorial – A sign before the face of God

• Every time you tithe - It’s before God’s face - God is being reminded of what He said to you

• “To open the windows of heaven – Pour you out a blessing that there is not room to
receive – I will rebuke the devourer – I will make you a delightsome land”

• The tithe is not a religious obligation – It is a sign of the covenant – A reminder of God’s promise to you
