The Tithe is nothing else but our Lord Jesus Christ! The Tithe is not about your money offered to God. For many years we were taught the tithe is our money seed sown unto God and thus expect a return or a much more return of a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown (Mat 13:8) and often Luke 6:38 were used... "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." And you can't out give God!
Though it is true, you shall receive much more but not because you tithed but because in Christ... has given you all things. And beside... that mindset is nothing but selfishness and that verse is used out of context. It is about giving to the poor and not your tithe. Just a few verses before in... Luke 6:30 says... if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. ... If you expect much more in return in your tithe... isn't you like lending to God and expect return?
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love... in Him has given us all things exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Thank You Daddy for given us Jesus, in Him we have all things! In Him we are complete! In Him... It is finished! In Him is our Tithe! Hallelujah!! Hear Him!

Read the parable of Jesus where the man who fell amongst thieves has oil and wine poured into his wounds,
