Remnant Tithers, What's the Deal?

Updated: Jan 25, 2021


Welcome, I am excited to work on the vision God has placed within my reach stage by stage! Some amazing things need to be highlighted within Christian music, poetry, and even movies. Believe me, family, God's showing off his Glory.




Why Remnant? The Anchor Bible dictionary as per Wikipedia explains that "The Remnant is a recurring theme throughout the Hebrew and Christian Bible, often describing what is left of a community after it undergoes a catastrophe." Remnant in secular terms can also mean what is remaining of something. Romans 11:5 states, "So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace". There are some spectacular people in our Generation chosen by God and they are impacting our faith in outstanding ways.


The heroes of any action movie typically come out pretty beat up in the end, making their victory scene much more appreciated and satisfying. They almost always have some form of help in the shadows of their mission. The Holy Spirit is our assigned helper for the remnant body of Christ. He steers us in the right direction, giving us the strategy and instruction necessary to live our best life. Revelation 12:17 states, "Even still those individuals [who] keep the commandments of God [will] have a great testimony of Jesus Christ". Remnant though we may be few and tested through the fire of purification we are doing it with the grace of God being all-sufficient for us. We are perfecting all that concerns our Father's kingdom. On Remnant Tithers platform I plan to highlight the artistry and joy of the Lord as he keeps us entertained on this Earth until he returns.


Why Tithers? Well Tithe, but Tithers had a better ring to it for Domain purposes. Also, it sounds like a team. Holy Spirit inspired acrostic for T.I.T.H.E. Things Invested to Help Everyone. The Word inspired encouragement of God is the main treasure we are after. We will find this treasure together within our entertainment industry and invest in redistributing this wealth to others. That being said, there are some practical things I envision T.I.T.H.E. will be a part of to help communities in the future. Things Invested to help everyone!


Tithing was a concept instituted by the early Church through the instruction of the Mosaic Law to provide for the practical upkeep and work done by the Temple and to obtain the offerings needed for the atonement (reconciliation) offerings to God for the forgiveness of sins. It seems to me like it was always about more than just silver or gold to God as most of the tithes repeatedly mentioned in Nehemiah Chapter 10:32-39 were crop harvests, such as fruit and grain, herds, flocks, and even firstborn sons dedicated to the service of priesthood. No firstborns were dedicated to be killed in offerings for the Christian God (just wanna clear that up). Well, I take that back all except Jesus himself! God was and still is concerned with the management and practical needs of his church and all those who minister on his behalf. The singers, the priests and pastors, and of course you and me since we are part of this family.



Very few of us in 2021 have herds and flocks to bring to church. After the ultimate sacrifice of the death of Jesus, the early Church had a great revival and changed the game of the concept of tithing. 'They met together and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need." Acts 2:44-45. Hey hold up, I am not asking you to sell your property or give up your possessions to kick it here with me! I don't expect your cattle unless it's organic choice cuts I can purchase :)

Look at the concept here! No stinginess, or exploitation, just love for one another and generosity in providing for the practical needs of others guided by Godly principles. Tools for your encouragement can be a practical need! That being said let us realize that purchasing (for ourselves or others) Christian literature, music, and or supporting Christian establishments as you are led by the Holy Spirit is a form of tithing in my eyes. Tithing is a concept to awaken the generosity and trust of believers to give whatever God has instructed us to give to help others. It is also a way to supernaturally provide a covering over those blessings God freely gives us. We must steward our resources and present them at their best.


Remnant Tithers operates not to be arrogant of our works, our works exist because we "consider the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness" (Romans 11:22). The word of God and cultivating discernment to hear his voice is the main thang! I implore you to keep partnering with God to figure out how you can invest in his Kingdom one person or mission at a time.


Our vision is to put a spotlight on Kingdom treasure within the entertainment industry to ignite enthusiasm, joy, and a deeper appetite for the things of God.



Let's get empowered, motivated, joyful, and enthusiastic about this life and our God, one song, poem, and movie at a time. Boldly showcase it to the world!
