Tithes and Offerings.
Offer your sacrifices to the Lord, and He will bless you with great wealth. Since the beginning of the world, people have been offering sacrifices to the Lord.
A long time ago, people competed to see who would pay the most and give an acceptable gift to God. Cain and his brother Abel went to give sacrifices to God. Cain's sacrifice was not good enough, so God rejected it, and He accepted Abel's gift.
Then, Cain got jealous of his brother Abel and killed him. Before the competition, the boys were already married and had children. So Cain became the father of the people of the Australian Aboriginals... Abel became the father of the Chinese and all the Asian people.
Luke 21:1-4
As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
- Luke 21:1-4
