This is a part of a letter from Benny Hinn with his signature as proof it is from him. Actually, it is not a new letter and has been on his website since 2008. See http://www.bennyhinn.org/articles/articledesc.cfm?id=638
Basically he is clearly implying that Benny Hinn Ministries is the storehouse you should pay your tithes into. Or at least he is hoping that his supporters will pay their tithes to him as they are the ones who believe that Benny feeds them.
These Word of Faith preachers are always misquoting scripture to get you to send them money and try to put pressure on your conscience. They state "if you give, God will bless you and will not bless you if you don't give".
My bible teaches that God's love and grace is unconditional for the born-again Christian. Paying tithes is because we love God not because we want something in return. If we do it because we want something from God, it becomes a blessing due to our works. The New Testament is clear: we are saved by Grace, we receive the Holy Spirit through Grace and we continue our walk with God through Grace - not of works! This was his letter:
THE STOREHOUSE
As you support the storehouse that the Lord has placed into your life, the Lord has promised to send these seven supernatural blessings upon your life!
If this ministry has been that storehouse for you, then it is the law of God that you should give your tithes and offerings to this ministry. In fact, according to the Word of God, you should support whatever ministry God uses to feed your life.
I want to share an important truth with you. The Word of God is clear also in Deuteronomy 26 that the tithe does not belong to the dead. In the midst of teaching on the tithe, the Lord tells us, “Nor given ought thereof for the dead” (Deuteronomy 26:14). If you want to receive the seven supernatural blessings of the tithe, make sure you are not giving your tithe or offering to a dead work. If you give to a dead ministry, there will be no result! But when you give to a ministry that is alive and preaching the Gospel to the world, then these promises will be yours.
BREAKING DEBT FROM YOUR LIFE
I want to see the Lord bless your life. It is your tithe that opens heaven, and it is your offering that brings prosperity your way. The Lord requires both, the tithe (at least 10 percent) and the offering (extra money that the Lord directs you to give). We cannot be blessed without the tithe, and we cannot see abundance without both the tithe and the offering.
Today, give both to the Lord. Sow your seed. And as you give your tithe and sow your seed-offering this month, lay your hands on that seed and claim the seven supernatural promises of Malachi 3.
Winning the lost for the glory of Jesus Christ, God’s beloved Son,

Anyone who reads this, who is still in Word of Faith, I strongly urge you to leave it now. They are charlatans and wolves, deceivers and thieves and are dragging you into heresy. They are also NOW dragging you into Rome and Papal worship. If you do not believe me then please check this latest article written in November 2014:

THE STOREHOUSE
Before giving these seven blessings in Malachi 3, the Lord very clearly mentions the tithes and offerings in verse 8: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings” (Malachi 3:8). Then He says, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse” (verse 10). The “storehouse” is not your local church!
Many years ago, I taught that the storehouse was the local church. As I have continued to study the Word, travel the world, and mature in the Lord, I have come to realize that the storehouse is not the local building but the ministry that feeds your life. Any ministry that feeds you the Word of God is that storehouse! The Word of God is clear on this, for He says, “Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse.” The tithe belongs to the ministry that gives you fresh bread and the meat of God’s Word.

BREAKING DEBT FROM YOUR LIFE
When I saw this powerful truth and began applying it in my own life—as I became a tither myself—God truly broke the debt from my life. Debt is broken by only one thing—giving to the Lord’s work!

The Lord requires both, the tithe (at least 10 percent) and the offering (extra money that the Lord directs you to give).
