Scripture: Leviticus 27:28-33

Leviticus 27:28-33 says, “Nevertheless no devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the Lord. No person under the ban, who may become doomed to destruction among men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death. 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. If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it. And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” The Lord said “Nevertheless no devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord…” That devoted offering, or tithe, is the Hebrew word khay-rem which is defined, ‘Set apart for God.’ It is God’s tithe. It is devoted to Him, holy to the Lord and is set apart to God. It is under covenantal obligation to God. “And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” Those devoted things are holy unto Him and committed unto Him. Because it is committed unto Him, when we give it, we get covenantal authority in the earth to represent God as His arbiter against those who are using His resources destructively and for advancing evil. We can become God’s point man for financial justice: justice against thieves and justice against those corrupt in government. That is the prayer posture we need to take. We should be inviting the Holy Spirit into our prayer times and pray in tongues in order that God will lead us to our assigned judgments. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!
