Tithing: Can You Get Rich From Doing It?

By Jill Hamfields


Many religions teach that a person should give 10% of their wealth to the church. Is this ancient practice still worth following today? According to millions of clergy worldwide, it is necessary to tithe because God will protect and watch over your finances if you do. People that do not tithe are said to have no protection over their finances. Howe do we tithe if we have lots of bills to pay and very little money coming in? It can be devastating for many families to go through having no money coming in. Tithing is supposed to not allow that to happen to you.

In the Old Testament, it is said that God told Abraham to tithe 10% of all that he owned. In return, God said that he would pour out a blessing for him and bless his home with many blessings. He would receive so many blessings that he would not have enough room to count them all. However, many Christians that tithe say that it doesn't work. Many Christians say that when they tithe, their finances often get worse or nothing out of the ordinary happens. However, you have other Christians that say they are wealthy because of tithing? What do you believe and why? There seems to be a different response to spiritual tithing.

Giving 10% of your money to God is actually a commitment. It builds faith and character. When you tithe, a spiritual protection starts to go over you. You begin to see protection overflowing in your life. You may think that you are about to lose your job and then all of a sudden you get a raise. God can move upon the hearts of your employer and make them see a value in keeping you. It is important to always be honest with God. If you fear tithing, it is okay. Most people fear giving 10% of their money to the church each month. God will put you through a series of tests in order to see if you are willing to give your 10% even though you are under great financial pressure.

Poor people that tithe seem to be rich in faith. They tend to trust God a lot more when things are going bad in their life. Their faith often brings them to new recognition. Many poor people often feel like their lives are tough to deal with because they have little money coming in. However, the Bible is clear in the fact that it God opens doors that nobody else can shut. Life is often difficult for most people to look at for various reasons. If you are like me, you probably have a lot of questions about tithing. However, you must walk in faith and allow God to open doors for you that nobody else can shut.

If you learn how to trust in God, giving him 10% of your wealth is necessary. God wants to see where your heart is. If your heart is for God, you will want to obey his laws and commandments. Even Jesus himself tithed and told the apostles to give God what is his. Throughout the Old Testament, all of the Israelites tithed. Everyone from Abraham to Job tithed. If you want more faith or a new beginning in your life, then you have to tithe faithfully to God and allow all of the pieces to the puzzle come into play. God is always watching over you and protecting you at the same time.
