The Simplest Financial Plan I Ever Learned pt.2

Give 10%

I put this first because I believe that giving back to the source of all our blessings is the most important of all. This is more commonly known as tithing. I, myself had not been practicing this for many years but when I became a member of Light of Jesus Community and under Bro.Bo Sanchez’s teachings I learned to tithe. At first it was hard. Of course it was, that was 10%. Imagine if you have a P10,000 that means you have to give P1000. No excuse. But more importantly you must give from the heart. 

Now I can here you saying, “So what do I get when I give?” 

Honestly, nothing. 

But I believe in the miracles of tithing or so to say that I have experienced it myself. We can never out give our creator. If we give we open ourselves to the abundant blessings available in the universe. It’s a law by the way… That whatever you give you shall receive. What you sow, you shall reap. 

I know it can be hard at first but here’s my suggestion for you. Why don’t you try it and experience the miracles yourself. Start by giving a smaller amount and increase it over time until it reaches 10%. Oh, by the way 10% is not the highest amount you can give, it’s just a good way to start. If you can afford to give more than 10% of your income in the future then that’s better. 

Maybe your asking “Why tithe if I can just give the money to my favorite charity?” That is also a good idea but you see, giving to a charity is alms giving. It is not tithing. Tithing is the act of giving first to God and acknowledging that everything we have belongs to him. 

Ok, enough about tithing lessons for now. Maybe this will convince you better to give. According to my mentor, Mr. Rex Mendoza: “If you cannot give P1000 or 10% of P10,000 to God, then definitely you cannot give P100,000 or 10% of P1,000,000 to Him. Both are 10% and I assure you, you’ll never have a million pesos.”
