Tithing Richard Kieninger If
you want the system for increasing prosperity to operate for you, then you
need to donate your tithe in a precise and consistent manner.
For example, you might choose to send your tithe on the first of each month, calculating
it to the penny. You
invariably attract the attention of Higher Beings by being exact and
methodical in the loving contribution of your tithe to an organization that
is doing God’s Work. You establish yourself as someone who is a dependable channel
of funds to Their pet projects. Tithing once a year is not often enough to
establish a channel. Once a month is more reasonable.
When you dedicate 10% of your income to God’s Work, the Higher Beings will
try to increase your income by setting opportunities alongside your path for
you to act on. The more you earn, the more money you
give to Their programs, due to your established habit of regular, precise
tithing. Most millionaires like this arrangement and follow it religiously,
mainly because they get to keep the other 90% of their increased income! If
your net earnings are $1,000 a month and you tithe $100 each month, it’s not long before you’re taking home $1,100 a month, in
which case you would then tithe $110 and further increases continue as time
goes by. Exactitude
and regularity in setting up a clear-cut channel to God’s work is the
important thing. Suppose you say to yourself, “Well, I’ll send $100 a month;
that’s about right.” Then, when you income increases, and if you continue to
send only $100 a month, there is no additional benefit to God’s Work. That’s
why it is important to be precise. There are many organizations who are helping people, but it is even better to give to
an organization that is doing God’s Work. The Lords of Karma, who are Adepts
of the Brotherhoods, notice your conscientious
efforts in tithing and they start giving you opportunities to increase your
income. For instance, you might get a promotion at work. Keep in mind that if
you win a prize, receive a cash gift, make a net gain on the sale of an
investment or get an inheritance, you should tithe on this increase. A
regular tither’s good fortune is
usually brought about by the Lords of Karma. You have everything to
gain by being a good steward. If you don’t tithe,
the Universe will somehow extract from you the amount your tithe should have
been, and often in an inconvenient way if, for instance, your car gets
damaged or breaks down. So you paid your dues anyway
but didn’t get the “seed money” benefits. It’s wiser
and more pleasant to follow Universal Law, which is, by definition, God’s
Will. In our Patriarchal
society, it is easy to downplay the feelings that well up when we experience
nature. It has been necessary to pull away from the matriarchal attitudes in
order to build America as a stepping-stone to The Nation of God. However, it
is now our aim to create a balanced culture while preserving the technology
and the economic prosperity. We also are reawakening an awareness of the
harmony in nature. We treasure awe when experiencing the grandeur of the
mountains, the delight in the beauty of flowers and forests, the satisfaction
in fields ripe for harvest, the joy in the oneness of all life. These
feelings inspire a spontaneous surge of thanksgiving. We long to express gratitude
to God and the Higher Beings. From this attitude springs the most beneficial
motivation for tithing and a fount of happiness. Through tithes
we may lovingly repay the thoughtful efforts of the Creative Intelligences
for this Universe, our very lives, and the abundance we enjoy. |
