If everyone in the world gave 10% of their
income to the poor, it would alleviate almost all hunger and poverty. God wants us to give to others not out of obligation, but out of compassion.
In the New Testament there is no specific reference to tithing 10%, but there are many passages about supporting those who minister to you, sharing your possessions and income with your brothers and sisters in Christ, and caring for the poor.
You cannot out give God. When you give, God will often allow you to see how He is giving to you in return. It may or may not be financial. It may be material. But there will be a blessing.
Give and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. For with the measure you measure, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38
