Objective: Help memorize Malachi 3:10 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
To Make: Print, color, and cut out the poster of your choice. You can print the larger poster two ways: (1) Print on an 11″ x 17″ paper, or (2) print on two 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheets and mount together as follows.

Ways to Motivate Children/Youth to Memorize Scripture:
• Give out small black and white scripture cards to memorize.
• Once they are passed off give out the colored version of scripture cards.
YOUTH GOAL PLANNER. Learn about the Commandment of Tithing. With this youth can learn how paying a full tithe will (1) build up the kingdom of God on the earth, (2) grow their faith, and (3) open “the windows of heaven” to “pour out blessings, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:8-12)
POST-AND-PRESENT ACTIVITY. OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN seek-and-say. Youth can learn the Prophet Lorenzo Snow’s revelation after reading Malachi 3:8-12 to help the saints overcome debt and drought. Praying for rain and blessings, they were to pay tithing to “open the windows of heaven.” Paying 1/10th is all the Lord asks to have Him “pour out blessings.”
