1 Timothy 6:15

…God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

The Lord likes to see his blessings going back to him by means of our tithes and offerings. Gusto nya yun. Isang paraan yun ng pagkilala natin sa kanya bilang King over our lives.

Isang major crime ang tax evasion. Hindi mahuli-huli si Al Capone, a very infamous criminal sa Amerika in the 1920’s, kasi malinis siyang gumawa ng krimen. Nahuli siya at naikulong sa pamamagitan ng simpleng kaso of tax evasion. Why? Because it is a major-major treachery to the state not to pay your taxes.

Kaya nga nakipaglaban si Lapu-lapu kay Magellan dahil ayaw nyang mabigay ng tribute. Kasi kahit maliit na bunga lang, bakit siya magbibigay ng tribute to Magellan e ibibigay yun, in turn, sa king of Spain? Ibig sabihin, pag nagbigay siya ng tribute, kinikilala nyang hari nya ang hari ng Spain. Kaya hindi nagbigay si Lapu-lapu.

Ang pagbibigay natin ng tithes at offerings ay major-major na pagkilala na Hari natin ang Dios. It is not only for practical use that the church needs these para ma-finance ang mga gawain ng Panginoon; it is also our personal gesture of submission to the kingship of God in our lives. Kaya tayo nagbabayad ng buwis. Meron ba namang kaharian na hindi ka nagbabayad ng buwis? Meron bang mga gobyerno na hindi ka sinisingil ng buwis? Meron ngang hindi naman gobyerno, naniningil ng buwis, di ba? Dadaan ka lang hihingan ka ng tong. “Kailangang magbayad ka sa akin dito dahil teritoryo ko ito.” O, Dios pa ba ang hindi natin bibigyan ng ating buwis?
