At the end of the parable of the talents, the man with the one talent who buried it had his talent taken off of him! Then the “unprofitable servant” has to be cast into “outer darkness”! The word unprofitable means useless. Not tithing will always lead you into being useless.
I recently had to buy a new smart watch – you know the kind of watch that counts your steps and heart rate and all those other things – because the one I had would not charge any more. You could plug it into the charger and it would be fine – the screen worked, the heart rate monitor worked, the step counter (presumably) worked.
But the second I unplugged it from the charger, it just switched off. I checked with a few people who know about these things, and it is virtually impossible to replace the batteries in the device I had. This watch though mostly functional, pretty, and expensive – was now utterly useless to me because I could only use it while attached to the wall! That made it useless. I threw it in the bin.
Don’t be a useless servant. Don’t be useless to Jesus. Tithe! You have been redeemed and rescued by Jesus at the most remarkable cost to Himself, and you have been given a mission to change the world, but if you do not tithe you are incapable of the basics of the Christian life – hearing God, listening to the Word, sowing seed, being consistent, accepting Jesus as your High Priest, being faithful in money. I have seen more Christians fail to enter their destiny and become unprofitable because of failure to tithe than anything else, by a huge majority this is the number one reason that I see people fail their ministry.
Grace! Do not become one of the useless Christians. Do not become useless to your church, your destiny, your Lord and Saviour. Tithe!
