Tithing…Is it a command?

Ιf an Apostle (travelling etc.) that is our example did that then , we must also consider this statement (in the same chapter)
15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
18 What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

2 cor,11:7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

I know churches that dicide to fallow the example of Paul and so they dont alow anyone without work to be a pastor! The result was that ALL MONEY here given for churches and also that NOBODY has to say something against those people!
2 Thes.3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9 Not because we have not power(authority), but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

2:9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
