Millions of financially successful

ashng.) However, very few individ–
uals recognize and obey che viral sev–
enrh law - conracr wirh God. And
pare of chac law is a financia! principie
chac rhe Crearor God has ser in
motion jusc as surely as He has ser in
morion che law of gravity.
This law is God's eterna! law of
tithing.
This law is real because Almighry
God made it and sustains ir. Ir is as
real and cerrain as rhe laws of physics
or chemistry.
Buc jusr whar is a "cirhe"? sorne
ask.
The word "tithe" is merely an old
English expression meaning
tenth.
In
Bible rerminology. it is rhe
first
"tenth" of your income.
The principie of chis law was
undersrood even before God made
His covenant with ancienr Israel. For
Abraham gave "rirhes" ro Mekhize–
dek, God's represenrarive, long before
the nation of lsrael carne inro being
(Genesis 14:20).
Lacer, God gave the law of tirhing
ro the physical nation of Israel. "And
all che tithe of the land, whethec of
che seed of rhe land, or of che fruit of
che cree, is rhe Lord's: ir is holy unto
rhe Lord. . . . And concerning che
rirhe of the herd, or of the flock, even
of wharsoever passerh under the rod,
rhe renth shall be holy unro rhe
Lord" (Leviricus 27:30, 32).
God designed rhac chis full
tenth
of
che nacional income be given ro His
representatives in rhar age, che Levíti–
ca! priesrs. "And, behold, 1 have
given rhe children of Levi all che
renrh in Israel for an inheritance, for
rheir service which they serve .. ."
(Numbers 18:21).
Under che New Tesramenr, rhe dis–
posicion of the tithe was changed so
rhar it now goes to rhe spirirual
priesthood of Jesus Chrisr rarher rhan
co the physical priesrhood of Levi
(Hebrews 7 :12).
In very plain language,
Jestts Chri.rt
taught tithing.
Nocice carefully Jesus'
words: "Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees,
hypocrires~
For ye pay rirhe
of mine and anise and cummin, and
have omirted rhe weighcíer marters of
the law, judgmenr, merey , and faich:
chese oughr ye
ro
have done, and
not
to leave the other
(being fairhfuJ in
rirhing]
tmdone"
(Matthew 23:23).
Yes, in the New Testament, Jesus
Chrisc is quored as saying people
should nor neglect or fail ro observe
God's law of rithing. You are going
ro
deprive yoursdf of financia! happi–
ness if you do.
