Numbers 18:26
You are to speak to the Levites, and you must tell them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you are to offer up from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe
Sometimes people look surprised when they see tithing as part of my living costs as a missionary. Even some missionaries believe that they shouldn't tithe but be the recipient of it only.
I tithe for a few reasons:
* We need to be an example for the local church. If you don't tithe why should they?
* My church on the mission field needs money to keep running too. And they have many children's homes and other programs etc.
* If you look at the verse in numbers, even the Levites tithed and they were the set apart servants of God.
* Even Jesus tithed.
