I found that I was tithing under compulsion. It has been preached in many Churches that we should tithe because the Old Testament said to. Abraham gave 10% to Melchisadeck, but when he did that there was no law on it. Abraham chose to do that out of a generous heart towards God because of God’s blessings to him.

I believe we should have a heart of generosity towards God, and give cheerfully whatever God puts on our heart to give. After all it is God who gave us the power to get wealth. So everything we have we should thank God for, then ask Him what He wants us to do with what He has given us.

As Christians we have been redeemed from the curse of the law, and now we live under grace. We are free to give. God may ask us to give more than we were, when we were giving 10%, or He may ask us to give less. But you will feel free when you free yourself from all curses and just be obedient to whatever God asks you to do.

God blesses those who are obedient to Him. Be willing and obedient as it says in Isaiah 1:19 and God will bless you.

“Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. ” Luke 6:38
