MoneyWalk 220 The Bible Way

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people who love the Lord by faith give a tithe of their income in order to help spread the good news of Jesus Christ within their own community and around the world. Employing this biblical principle, you will:

·        Help fulfill the Great Commission given to believers.

·        Honor God by being a good steward (manager) of money He entrusts to you.

·        Show that His will is the first and main priority of your life.

·        Show where your heart is truly located (in Christ and not in satan and the world).

·        Allow supernatural reward, protection, and blessing into your life on a continual basis.

Tithing is percentage based (10% of increase) and not based on a denomination of money, as such it is inherently fair to everyone because every believer gives the same proportion of income to the church for ministry work, regardless of their level of income. A person with no income would tithe $0, whereas a person who earns or receives $100,000 annually would tithe $10,000, a person who earns or receives $1,000,000 per year would tithe $100,000, etc.

The story of Abraham told in both Old and New Testament shows that great people of faith tithed. The New Testament describes him as the father of our faith. We can likewise operate in this faith principle showing the world around us that Jesus Christ is LORD over all our life including finances.

Some people argue we live in the dispensation of grace and not under the law and therefore God gives us no commands to live by and especially not tithing. However, this argument cannot be correct because Jesus said if you love me keep my commands. The Great Commission He gave us says we must teach other people all that He commanded. Other letters to the saints identify commands in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to refrain from certain things and/or to take certain actions.

Many Old Testament laws were done away with, but those things are clearly identified in the New Testament or never mentioned in it. Tithing is mentioned in the Gospels as something we ought to do as a complement to justice, mercy, and having faith. Also, the writer of Hebrews makes it clear that New Testament believers tithe to the One of whom it is witnessed that He lives. That cannot be anyone other than Jesus Christ! He receives our tithe in Heaven though we bring it on earth to His appointed authority, the church.

Jesus didn't condemn the law (or by inference all His commandments) rather He fulfilled it by doing away with the need for us to perform works to gain entry into His presence and Heaven. He also fulfilled it by commanding us to do works of faith. Tithing is a work of faith you can do to honor the Lord and help carry His word to the ends of the world. His living in us by the Holy Spirit provides all the power and wherewithal we need to obey His commandments when we otherwise would not be able to do so by human volition.

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
