GIVING

We Encourage Members of New Beginning Chapel (NBC) Part of the Life in Christ Outreach (LICO) to give their Tithe (10%) of all Income and Offering (Any amount  giving in addition to the Tithe) just as the Bible Teaches. In addition, to the Giving Tithe & Offering to the Home Church, We encourage people to give Offerings of any amount to Other Christian Ministries and Charitable Good Cause Projects in and outside the Church to bless Humanity.

We believe in Bible Teachings and Practice of Our Lord Jesus Ministry in relation to Giving.

Jesus our Lord affirmed it Was okay/ in order to Give Tithe (10% of what we earn or receive) while not neglecting matters of Law, Judgement(Justice), Mercy, Faith (Matthew 23 verse 23).

Jesus our Lord’s Ministry during His Life time on Earth was supported by People who believed in His Mission such as Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Many Others who gave out of their Substance (Money/ Resource to the Ministry of Jesus Christ Our Lord. (See Luke 8 verses 1 to 3)

The Old Testament Book of Malachi Chapter 3 verses 6 to 12 contains teaching on Tithe and Offering.

Verse 6 - God says I am the LORD and I Change not.

Verse 7 : God says people have turned away from God’s Instruction to Give Tithe  & Offering and God wants His People to return to the Practice of giving Tithe & Offering.

Verse 8: God says when we don’t Give Our Tithes and Offerings we are robbing Him (God), Stealing and acting as thieves.

Verse 9: People including the Whole Congregation/Nation of People bring themselves under CURSE (Financial Hardship) when they Rob God in Tithes and Offerings.

Verse 10 :  God instructs Us to bring all the Tithes into the Storehouse (Church)

Verse10: God wants us to prove Him/Test Him, that He (God) will Open the Windows of Heaven to Pour out a Blessing that will be so large, that there won’t be room enough to contain it when We obey God’s instruction to bring our Tithes to the Storehouse (Church).

Verse 11: When we give Our Tithe to God’s Store House (Church), God said He will rebuke (FORBID) THE devourer from destroying the fruits of our ground, which can be applied to mean - God will Prevent disaster in Our Work, Business and Investments etc)

Verse 11: When we give Our Tithe to God’s Storehouse (Church) God said “neither shall your Vine cast her fruit before the time in the field” which can mean  there will be no Financial Mishaps, No Financial Calamity, No loss, nothing eating up our Blessings etc).

Verse 12: When we give our Tithe God said He will Pour Out a Blessing (verse 10), Thus because of God’s Blessing on Us (Tithers), Nations will call Us (Tithers) Blessed and we (Tithers) will be a delightsome Land.

The Store house is the Church- that provides Spiritual food for people to be fed in God’s Word (Bible) through Holy Spirit inspired Bible Preaching and Teachings leading to continuous growth in their Walk with God, Our Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit).

The Bible teaches that Individuals, Believers and Disciples of Jesus must develop the Financial Stewardship of giving Tithe (10%) of all Income from all sources to God and anything given above the 10% is Classified as Offering.
