As an individual or business owner, do you harken to the biblical directive of Tithing? I decided to write and share this piece because I see Tithing as a spiritual principle that never fails to bless abundantly – both in business and personal affairs.
Tithing is a spiritual principle that creates miracles. I am a tither, and I believe Tithing is the best kept prosperity secret of the ages. It is a practice that blesses and prospers all who embrace it.
This article answers such questions as: What is Prosperity? What is Tithing? Why should you tithe? How much should you tithe? When should you tithe? Where should you tithe? And how does tithing bring you prosperity? Hopefully these answers will unveil powerful spiritual secrets that are sure to impact your life positively.
What is Prosperity?
Prosperity is not just about having enough money to meet your every need. Prosperity includes joy, happiness, knowledge, wisdom, understanding and good health that empower you to enjoy a full, confident and productive living.
What is Tithing
Tithing is the biblical injunction of giving back to God, in gratitude. It is a spiritual principle that creates miracles. Tithing is the best kept prosperity secret of the ages. But many ministers of God often do not teach or speak much about tithe because they fear to be misunderstood, or even alienate the congregation who may think they are seeking personal enrichment.
Tithing is the same as Giving; but I see tithing as a higher obligation because we are giving back to God. Givers, they say, never lack. Why? Because givers are channels through which God’s blessings flow to others. Givers are channels through which God blesses people. Tithers are Givers; and givers never lack. How?
Consider a water tap to which people go to fetch water. Its duty is to dispense water once turned on. The tap is not the owner or source of the water. It is only a channel through which the water flows from the tank or reservoir to those who need it.
Can the tap or pipe deliver water from the tank to the cup or bucket without getting soaking wet? Therefore you can never deliver God’s blessings to others without being blessed! That is the powerful secret that all true tithers and givers know.
Givers know that whatever they give was also given to them. They know that they are channels only. They know God is the source of all good. They know the source is inexhaustible; therefore they give without fear – and that is the key. They give without fear that it will finish. They give without fear that they will not have enough left for themselves. They give without hesitation. They give without looking back.
That is how Tithing and Giving work. They build a solid Prosperity Consciousness in you. Prosperity Consciousness is that state of mind in which all thoughts of lack has disappeared. Once you attain this state of mind, it cannot but manifest in all that you think, say and do. That is the power of Tithing and Giving.

Why should You Tithe?
The Bible says: Keep the charge of the Lord, walk in His ways and keep His Statutes… that you may prosper in all that you do and succeed wherever you go (1 Kings 2:3). Tithing is one of the Lord’s statutes.
Again: Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom (Luke 6:38).
For me, the keyword in Luke 6:38 quoted above is: shall men give. God does not jump down from heaven to bless you. God blesses you through people (men and women). How? When you become useful (valuable) to your society, solving people's problems and making life easier for others, they bless you with their money.

Therefore as you tithe and give, do well to create channels through which God (using people) will bless you. You must have something doing, something to offer, that adds value and makes life easier for people. This you can do by providing products or services that people want and are ready to pay for. Indeed, men shall give unto your bosom according to the works of thy hand. Therefore, your ability to add value, whether with head or hand, is your greatest asset for financial prosperity. Give and it shall be given unto you.

Tithing 10% of your income is a spiritual insurance for the remaining 90% left in your pocket, bank account, business, endeavour, profession, trade, etc.
You should tithe because it helps you to become aware of the immense and unlimited prosperity of the universe. Tithing makes you a blessed channel for the manifestation and distribution of God’s goodness and plenty. You cannot bless others without being blessed. True Tithing and Giving are a manifestation of gratitude to the source of all good. Gratitude is the seventh and highest level of abundant living.
How much should you Tithe?
Malachi 3:10 has the answer. One tenth of all you get. Ten is the spiritual number for increase. Ten is an easy, simple and progressive multiplier. Ten per cent (10%) is the barest minimum to tithe. Many notable wealthy individuals confess to paying as much as 20%, 30% or more as tithe.
When should you Tithe?
If you want to prosper, tithe regularly - weekly, monthly, or as it suits you. Whether you are making money or not, tithe. Whether you are employed or not, tithe. Giving is not only about money. You can give your time, your expertise, manual work, dis-used items, visitation, empathy, charity work, etc. There is always something you can give.
Where should you Tithe?
Tithe to the source of your spiritual growth and enlightenment. Give to what you believe is true, honest and of good report. Give to persons or places that serve or do great work for the uplift of humanity. Tithe to your church, your priest, reverend minister, spiritual master, way shower or teacher, your support group, charity, etc. Be sure to only give to a cause you believe in. In summary, give or tithe to where you feel good about so doing - without any doubt or restraint.
How does Tithing bring Prosperity?
Tithing works because it works from the inside to activate a prosperity mindset in you. It changes your basic belief that life is all about taking, to a new and elevated understanding that truly, life is all about giving. Giving guarantees receiving; Giving creates new opportunities for receiving.
Remember that, at the end of it all, when your race is run, you shall be remembered not for what you took out of the world for yourself, but for what you gave to the world of yourself. Life is about Giving!
A regular and consistent habit of tithing and giving works because it creates in you a state of mind in which all thoughts of lack has vanished. That state of mind is Prosperity Consciousness; which ultimately manifests in your everyday experience as material prosperity. Prosperity Consciousness generates and envelops you with Positive Energy. Positive Energy blesses, heals and protects you; and even those around you.
Tithe is not a debt you owe; it is a seed you sow to guarantee a future harvest. Tithing keeps your channels of blessings flowing. Tithing keeps your open doors open. Tithing keeps your healing and wholeness potent.
To all true tithers in the house I say: GOD shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory. You shall not want, you shall not lack, as you tithe your way to Prosperity. Blessings!
