The Best Investment You Can Make in Peace, Health & Prosperity

The Best Investment You Can Make in Peace, Health & Prosperity

If you’re not sure about all this tithing talk, pray about it; pray about your giving. Ask your Higher Power, your God, your Universe to reveal to you WHERE to share your tithes. When you say “Reveal to me where I should tithe” you will be guided in your giving so that all involved in your gift (you, the giver as well as the recipient) will be blessed.

As you continue in your personal and spiritual growth, your tithing practices may grow as well. You will probably go from one-tenth to larger giving – opening the way to receive even greater peace, health and prosperity in your life. In any event, you will find that tithing is the best investment you can make in successful living, and also the most soul-satisfying.

Try this affirmation: “I do not depend upon persons or conditions for my prosperity. God is the Source of my supply, so I now put God first financially. I tithe my way to prosperity. The voluntary, faithful tithing of my whole income now operates the law of ever-increasing prosperity for me. I now tithe my way to peace, health and plenty.”

What Do All These Words Mean?

The word “dynamic” in its root means “spiritual”.

The word “law” signifies those ideas or methods that work if we apply them.

The word “prosperity” in its root means “wholeness”.

This study is all about the spiritual laws of wholeness, which, when practiced, bring peace, health and plenty into our lives.

Tithing really does work! Take some time to research the age-old concept of tithing, figure out who is the source of your spiritual supply, say the above affirmation and then make a habit out of tithing. You’ll be glad you did.

Thrive – Don't Just Survive!

Thrive – Don’t Just Survive

A business man once wrote “These days people are constantly complaining about food shortages, housing shortages, and a shortage of money due to rising prices. In my business, we’ve had to deal with shortages for a long time. But through my prosperity study we’ve succeeded anyway. I plan to thrive – not just survive!”

Use this technique to help you thrive. Begin your day by mentally going over the planned events for that day, visualizing them as pleasant, harmonious and successful. You will begin to experience prosperity, pleasantness and peace. Usually if you mentally plan, visualize and expect a successful day in the early morning hours, there will be little to undo mentally at the day’s end.

No matter how many laws you know about, if you’re not able to live and work harmoniously with others, all else seems of little value. Your financial success is due  to only 15% of your technical ability, and 85% to your ability to get along with people.

The Power of Secrecy, Release & Focused Giving

The Power of Secrecy, Release and Focused-Giving

Your giving is sacred and therefore should be kept secret. It is wise to give quietly with no strings attached, regardless of the amounts involved, not referring to them again. If large tithes are involved, it is sometimes necessary to emotionally release them and continue to do so until one has a sense of freedom from them. There should be no sense of possessiveness about the tithes one shares, regardless of their size, since all we receive comes from God and is not ours to permanently own. In tithe-giving, we are only returning to God a portion of all He has already given us. So, if you resent your giving, then the practice of release is in order.

It is wiser to give the tenth systematically and freely than to give much larger amounts spasmodically. Tithing is not a “get-rich-quick” scheme by which you can force your good. Instead, the act of tithing is a process of growth by which one evolves into larger giving (and therefore larger receiving). Remember that God is your business partner. You don’t pay your partner sporadically do you?

to give and then make demands on the recipient of your gifts is like a bribe, not a tithe. The conscientious tither does not give for “show” or “publicity”. the recipient of your tithe should also be equally quiet about the gifts. Otherwise it is easy to dissipate and “talk away one’s good”. There is prospering power in both secrecy and then in release.

                                             

 

One of the “sins” of many tithers is that they tend to scatter their tithes, giving to many causes. Scatter tithes tend to bring scattered ineffectual results, both for the giver and the recipient. Scattered giving to many causes does little to help any of them. Your generous concentrated tithes can be “manna from heaven” assuring financial stability to a single cause. Never be afraid of giving big tithes to one or two causes, if you wish to reap big results in your own life. You should never be afraid to give too much either. That is a limiting thought for everyone involved. One businessman said “I became a millionaire after I first heard about tithing 15 years ago. Later, when I decided I was giving too much, I stopped tithing. Soon, I went broke. I learned an expensive lesson, so I am again tithing my way to wealth.
