Bible Verses to Open your Prayer on Tithes and Offerings
GEN. 14:19–20
And he blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
LEV. 27:30–34
Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”
DEUT. 12:5–6
But you shall seek the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there. There you shall go, and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock.
2 CHRON. 31:4–5
And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the Law of the Lord. As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field. And they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.
MARK 12:41–44
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
Here is a look at the truth about tithing according to the scripture Malachi 3:10. Presented by Grace Bible Church.

The Fruits of Our Labor
By: Raymond A. Foss
We prayed together, to the creator,
the source of all we have,
offering “the fruit of our labor”;
but the words themselves were discordant
somehow not precisely what I believe
a worthy prayer, offering back to God;
but is there more? Something else to say?
Our fruits; our labor, really?
We are offering that which we “earned”,
hmm, but what does “to earn” mean itself?
What are the fruits of our labors truly?
When does the fruit stop being the Lord’s
When do we earn anything? Isn’t all of our all,
our lives, our work, our wealth, our poverty,
our living, our dying, all a gift of God?
Maybe, just maybe, our prayer should change;
maybe we should pray that we offer to You,
our loving, creator, sustainer God, a mere portion
a small measure,
a pittance of that which you have given us
through our works,
our living out of our working lives
through the gift of the job, the position, the career
you have called us to, at this time in our lives.
That we offer to you a small part of that which
You have so abundantly blessed us.
Not the fruits of our labor, but a piece of the harvest
of the daily bread which You alone have provided
a bit of the loaves, the fishes, so that we may add
to the basket from which you bless and break
and share with the whole world, Your ministry of love
to the ends of the earth, and the end of the age.
Living more humbly, acknowledging the source
the center of all we are, all we have
sharing with others, that which was never ours, truly,
gifts, all we have, from the creator,
to give back, from our hearts
so that others would know abundance, daily provision
that none would be hungry, thirsty, anymore.
Source: Raymond A Foss
These are just few of the wonderful offertory prayers anyone can offer to the Lord to thank Him for all the blessings You have received and the ones that you have yet to have. The Lord answers all requests asked from him, but not all at once.
But as the cliche goes, all good things come to those who wait.

Tithes and offerings: Prayer to provoke blessings of tithing
Posted on December 3, 2008 Updated on December 2, 2008
Read Malachi 3:10 Genesis 14:17-24
Many have job; many cannot work. Thank God for His gift of life for the privilege of your job or business!
Lift up the seed/tithe and pray: Lord you gave me the opportunity, good health, the brain wisdom and strength to work. I recognized and worship you with this tithe as the source of all my iincome.
Take this tithe as a symbol of my submission to your divine omnipotence. Abraham paid tithe to Mechizedek, the high priest!
Lord Jesus, I pay any mortal man! Lord Jesus, you are my High Priest. Accept this Tithe to your priesthood now!
It is not to my pastor or any mortal man! Lord Jesus, you are the High Priest. Accept this Tithe now and grant that my source of income shall not run dry! By this Tithe, I hereby acknowledge that you are the possessor of heaven and earth.
Accept it Lord and pour me out a blessing! Father, rebuke the devourer from whatever angle! Father increases my income and decreases my expenditure!
Lord, Lord, blocks that unnecessary spending of money and wastage! Lord, baptized me with your favour and mercy Lord! Deliver me from losses of any kind and saturate my life, family and ministry with blessing money cannot buy!
Yes saturate my life with blessings that all my income put together 100 times cannot buy! Lord, I am a Thither! Let no man say they made me rich!
Lord make me rich like you did to your servant Abraham, the father of faith. Let my obedience fight for me this day and this month in Jesus name.
LIFT UP THE TITHE AND PRAY IN TONGUES NOW. Thank you Lord for hearing me again in Jesus name.
Begin to worship the Lord now.
