Who's the owner

1. It all belongs to God.

Psalms 24:1 NLT

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.The world and all its people belong to him.

Psalms 50:10-12 NKJV

10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,And the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know all the birds of the mountains,And the wild beasts of the field are Mine. 12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

2. The first belongs to God.

Exodus 13:1-2 NKJV

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”

Exodus 23:19 NKJV

19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Genesis 4:3-5 NKJV

3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

3. The tithe belongs to God.

Leviticus 27:30 NKJV

30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord.



To take what belongs to God is stealing(Malachi 3:8).  



How can God bless a thief? To take what belongs to God places you under a curse.  (Malachi 3:9)
