Tithing Brings Definite Financial Increase

Tithing Brings Definite Financial Increase

Great stories from folks just like you on how tithing has brought them prosperity:

Maine: “I have been tithing for two years. Not only has it done wonders for my prosperity consciousness but it has loosened my grip on money so that it could grow and flow.”

I think this is an extremely important point – once you stop holding on to your money and being “tight” with it – especially if you feel you just don’t have enough” – money will not only flow out of you but it will reciprocate and come right back to you – and many times over.

Ohio: “This morning I put my tithe check in the mail. It was for $59. The postman later brought me two checks totalling $669.54. How’s that for fast action from tithing?”

Oregon: “On the same day I released my tithe check, I received $2000. Tithing DOES prosper.”

North Dakota Teenager: “I started tithing three months ago. Before that I had little income. Since my first tithes, money has come to me from every direction: First came a babysitting job. Then some friends gave me clothing. Next, my grandfather gave me almost double the amount of money he usually sends me for my birthday. Also, other lovely gifts I can use were given me. I now have a complete new wardrobe. If this can happen at sixteen, I may be a millionaire by the time I’m twenty-one.”

Europe: “When I founded my business over a year ago, I could not have imagined that within the first year I would be writing an invoice for $60,000 worth of business from just one client! I attribute my success to tithing from my business income, as well as from my personal income.”

New Mexico: “I had recently felt that life was passing me by; that I was not in the best job for me. Yet I could not see, humanly, how anything better could come, nor how I could last until it did. Nevertheless, I began to tithe in faith. After writing my first tithe check, I had only $48 left until payday.

Almost immediately I was offered a job of reporter for the local newspaper. My starting salary is $12,000 per year- far more than I was previously making. within 90 days my annual salary is due to go to $15,000, with a possibility of another raise within another 6 months. I would suggest to people in a  similar “no win” situation that they begin to put God first financially, then relax and watch what happens.”

The most important thing I take from this story is that we have to put God first. That should be our primary thought whenever we get paid or have any type of income – “what part of this is owed my business partner (God).”

California: “I released my first tithe, and three days later I sold fifteen acres in the beautiful California “high desert”. that land had been for sale for more than two years. the sale came when I released those tithes for universal good.”

Check out this story about why tithing had NOT worked for this woman in Ohio: “In the past I tithed in a haphazard manner so I received haphazard results. I became bitter and decided that tithing was not working for me. I now see it was the manner in which I tithed, and the limited state of my thinking. More recently I have begun to tithe faithfully with love and appreciation for what I have to share. Even though I began tithing only from my net income, the results were tremendous. This prompted me to begin to tithe from gross income, and from savings. I now plan to begin tithing from an annuity, tax returns, and interest earned. I am delighted with the expanded life i am now leading. This practice has enlarged my spiritual understanding as well.”

This story about tithing haphazardly gave me another analogy for people who are involved in Internet marketing. One aspect of Internet marketing is affiliate marketing. Your affiliates would not stay with you if you paid them in a haphazard manner. Think of God as an affiliate and then know that you are to pay them right on time!

What’s Behind Your Resistance To Tithing

What’s Behind Your Resistance To Tithing?

Even though in ancient times, tithing was a part of life and was ingrained as the first thing to consider in someone’s life. However, in modern times, people have sometimes have a psychological block against tithing. This is probably because the church leaders have tended to emphasize what tithing will do for the church, instead of what it will do for the tither.

Look up tithing promises in the Bible (e.g. Malachi 3:10). You’ll discover that the Bible assures you that it is the individual that will be prospered, protected and blessed through tithing. It really is all about the tither, not the recipient of the tithe.

Most people have not been taught that tithing is a dynamic personal prosperity method. Once you look at that and not as a “burden” or a responsibility inflicted on you by the church, your prosperity will flourish.

One man and his wife in Texas learned this success principle when the man was out of work and had several children and his wife to take care of. They only had $50 left but they decided as an act of faith to write out their tithe check for $5.00.

Almost immediately he found a position with an engineering firm.  They continued to tithe over the next few years and amazingly his career turned to the oil business. New opportunities presented themselves in abundance. In less than ten years they went from their “last dollar” to a net worth of well over one million dollars.

Another man in Montana reported: “I had been practicing all the laws of prosperity – except total tithing. I had felt I could not spare that much. But from my recent studies, I realized I could not afford NOT to give God His full tenth of everything I received, if I wished to permanently prosper. Since I have done this, I have been blessed far more than I could have ever thought possible.”

Look around you – if you have friends or acquaintance that are completely/totally prosperous ask them if they tithe. Are there others you know who do NOT tithe – look at the various areas of their lives. It’s important for you to overcome any resistance you may have to tithing. Perhaps it’s been this “obligation” as opposed to being something you choose to do.

Look at your limiting beliefs. Is resistance to tithing based on a limiting belief!

How Does Tithing Protect You From Negative Experiences

How Does Tithing Protect You From Negative Experiences

When you put God first financially, you open your mind, body and all aspects of your life to the goodness of the universe; to infinite life, love, wisdom, power and substance. You also tend to look to God for guidance, healing and supply.

Since tithing is businesslike, orderly, scientific and practical, you open the way to receive similar results in your life. This is an important point – the fact that it is businesslike – remember that we have taken God on as a business partner.

In 1855 John D. Rockefeller began tithing. His total income for that year was $95.00. He tithed $9.50 to his church. Between 1855 and 1934 he gave away $531 million dollars. When people tried to criticize the Rockefeller wealth, he had a standard  reply “God gave me my money.”

Since we are made in the image and likeness of God a rich universe is happy to multiply our good as an expression of universal affection, appreciation and esteem. Remember that these blessings are yours by Divine Right!

Through your acts of impersonal, unselfish giving, you attune your consciousness to that of universal abundance and put yourself in line to receive its rich gifts.

It is only when we let go of our “littleness” that we can expand into a larger life.

Tithing is an act of faith. Faith moves on universal substance to enhance and bless the person who is doing the tithing.  You will prosper and your problems will fade away.

More Secrets of Tithing

More Secrets of Tithing

The ancients knew intuitively that giving, sharing and putting God first financially was the first step to permanent, enduring prosperity.  Tithing was a household word in Bible times, and over and over their sharing of the tenth brought them peace, power and plenty. They gave, not the last and the least but the first and the best – their giving made them rich. They felt that their tithing practices not only prospered them but protected them from the negative experiences of life. Their acts of giving were occasions of celebration.

Here’s a story from Catherine Ponder’s “The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity”.

 A Woman in Oklahoma – “When I began to tithe in faith the small amount I had, the first thing I noticed was that the chronic car repair bills ceased. Money not only began to flow in unexpectedly, but new business opportunities also prospered me. Also, the quality of my life improved so that I now enjoy a harmonious lifestyle. Another surprise has been that a longstanding health problem no longer plagues me. It simply disappeared.”

Just as the farmer returns one-tenth of his seed for soil enrichment, so does impersonal giving and sharing, open the way to enriched living on all levels of life to anyone who faithfully practices it.

Another story:

A person in Missouri: “I am grateful to have learned of the power in tithing. I have friends who have studied along inspirational and/or metaphysical lines for years. Yet they continue to struggle financially because they refuse to tithe. I have other friends who are studying along these same lines whom I have been able to introduce to the practice of tithing, and they no longer “strain and strive”. instead they “tithe and thrive”.

It’s been said that the person who takes up the practice of tithing will have at least six surprises:

1) He will be surprised at the amount of money he has to give to God’s work.

2) He will be surprised at the wisdom and good judgment tithing gives him in using the remaining nine-tenths of his income.

3) He will be surprised at the ease with which he can meet his financial obligations.

4) He will be surprised at the deepening of his prosperity consciousness.

5) He will be surprised at how easily he can go from one tenth to larger giving.

6) He will be surprised at himself for not having adopted the tithing plan sooner!

I can tell you from personal experience that starting to tithe made all the difference in my entire life, not just my financial prosperity.
