One of the most important areas of prosperity that people have not yet been extremely and precisely clear about, is in the subject of giving. If one is to become as rich as one possibly wants and hopes to be, one must get their idea right in the area of giving. Wrong ideas, half truths and misleading deviations from the path are what cause people to have trouble moving forwards in achieving greater prosperity and success in their lives. A lot is destroyed or failed to create because of lack of precise knowledge in this area. It is time to set things straight in every way in regard to the subject of giving to God for prosperity.

There may be different ways that you can give your money. You may choose to give the most to where you decide is best to give to. God would want you to do what’s best instead of what’s good or even great. It is not about which place you give to. It is all about promoting the gospel. You may choose to give your money to an organization that you trust to handle money well in doing God’s work. But if you have the capacity to best use that money to do God’s work yourself, you might as well do so. You will have more direct control and certainty over how the money is being used for good. It’s about being more efficient in the way one uses money.

Some people say you should not eat in one restaurant and pay in another. Well, sometimes you eat in multiple places and not just one. You may give according to the proportion where your spiritual diet is supplied from each particular source. You may receive nourishment from one spiritual source, but if another spiritual source gives you much more vital knowledge or practical truth that is beneficial to you, you may give more of your money there to support it.

You can set things up so that one’s giving does more than just the normal way of giving. You can set things up in such a way that there is some form of circulation where one’s giving can also come back and benefit oneself in some way. This is smarter way to give. God did not say one can’t do that. Wisdom can do more things than is realized. When one sets up a system of giving that is smarter and also benefits oneself, one has more to give and the cycle of giving can expand and increase and one’s capacity to do good can increase more and more. God expects you to be a good steward of His money.

Although a circuit works and is functioning, if we can fine tune it, we can ensure that power is more efficiently used, and do more work with the same amount of energy, increase the energy flow, and ensure less wastage of power. This is how light bulbs have evolved over the years, from the incandescent light bulb, to halogen, to the fluorescent, to the LED. It is all about efficiency. You can engineer the circuit of your flow of money usage and giving to become better and more efficient.

The Apostle Paul uses his commercial business to finance his own ministry for spiritual work. He only took up offerings to finance other ministries. Those who are not called with their own spiritual ministry to finance may finance other ministries instead. But those who are called with their own spiritual ministry may tithe or give to their own ministry if necessary. Other ministries are still going to use the money to promote the gospel anyway. The gospel is the good news about the goodness of God.

Nobody will take care of your ministry. You must take care of your ministry. It is a man’s responsibility to make sure that the needs of his children are met abundantly first before giving to another family. Your ministry is your area of giving to God.

God said be fruitful and multiply, and business is a way of fulfilling God’s will because it provides people with the sustenance for being fruitful and to multiply. A business is set up in a way to benefit oneself, but it is also to serve other people by offering them a product or a service. People deserve to be blessed and rewarded for the good that they do to the world through their business. People who do business deserve spiritual help and blessing because they are fulfilling God’s will for Man.

If God does not bless and support one’s ministry until one gives to another person’s ministry first, what kind of a God is that? A good God will always bless and support each ministry that serves him and He will do so abundantly.

Those who achieve success and prosperity in life do so by doing business, and the more success and prosperity they want, the more business they must do, and the more action they must take, and the more people they must serve, or the more service they must offer. Therefore the ones who receive more are because they give more, and they give more through their business. God only expects us to give one tenth of all our increase to promote the Good News (Gospel). That is because the Gospel is the foundation and the Cornerstone of all supply and grace. If one neglects the cornerstone and the foundation which is Christ, the rest of the building is in vain and empty, and not according to God’s fullest plans and purposes.

God only expects one tenth. God does not expect people to be foolish and give away 100 percent. God is a practical God. God knows people have needs, and He has ordained it that people should consume and eat and enjoy the fruits of their hands, and only give a portion to Him. God expects the majority of what a person makes, to be enjoyed, saved and invested by him/her, and to only give a portion away for the Gospel.

Although the Bible says the more a person gives, the more they receive, it doesn’t mean they should be foolishly giving a greater and greater portion of what they have that they cannot practically or even comfortably afford to. God doesn’t want a person to be strained or stressed in their giving. God said do not give reluctantly or grudgingly, but give the amount that you can give cheerful, if not don’t give such an amount, because it is too much. And yes there is such thing as giving too much of what you have, and that is not good but bad. Because God wants you to spend, save and invest your money as well. Obeying God properly is doing Good. God is not a God of vagueness. God is a God of ratio. God is a God of precision and efficiency. God is a God of mathematics.

God says one tenth and that is all that is required. If one wants to give more, one can give 20% or 30%. It is all up to one to decide as they like or purpose to. One can even give up to 50%. But usually one should only give more than 50% if one really has plenty of money to spend, and one should only give up to 90% if one is Super Rich.

One is a fool if one gives away a huge ratio of their money thinking that is the way to become rich when they are not yet already rich. One who gives in such a manner will give themselves broke like many fools in the world. When you see someone give away a car and then God gives him a new one, and then you also give away your car thinking God will give you a new one but instead you end up walking. The question is did you hear from God to give away your car? If you did not hear from God to do such a thing, don’t be a fool and do it. God did not ask you to give away your car and God does not want you to do it. Only those people that gave away their car because they were specifically and clearly directed by God through their inner promptings to do so for a purpose are the ones who will be paid back by God when they obey.

Always look to the standard way of God’s way of doing things to prosper and succeed, and not take other people’s special cases and make a big deal out of it. This is what causes a lot of people to go awry in the ways of God and end up doing foolish things that result in loss because they are not following God’s will or purpose. Everything spiritual should be done in a scientific and proper way according to the system and probabilities set out by God, and not try to take the risky shot out of the blue unless God specifically guided you to do it. Evil spirits want to mislead you into thinking you are following God, when actually they are just messing with you.

God has a financial plan of spending to increase one’s quality of life, saving, and investing. Giving is only a portion of His plan. One needs to spend money to increase their quality of life in order to be in a better and better position to do more good and make more money. And one needs to save and invest money in money making deals or activity that can further increase one’s wealth. God is a practical God and His plan involves all things practical to money making, and is very proportionate.

When the science of spiritual giving is explored and the path to prosperity is taken in a scientific way, the ability to track results is the key to knowing truth from error. One must look to results in order to judge spiritual theory. By their fruits you shall know them. God does not expect His people to have blind faith. He wants us to open our eyes and see! He wants us to be able to measure, calculate and ascertain cause and effect in all things spiritual.

When one wants to know the achievement of prosperity in a scientific way, one must look only to those people who have achieved significant prosperity and success in their lives. One must not look to people who preach lots of spiritual things but are producing little results in the area of prosperity in their lives. When one looks at many of the rich and successful, one observes the same things over and over again, and those things are lots of action taken, much work done, business building, saving, investing, spending money to increase the quality of their lives, and giving only a proper portion of their money away.

One should take the same principles found in the majority of the rich for a scientific pathway to creating the same results, and not make the foolish mistake of taking special cases of some people as the conclusion. Those people who seem to have inherited their wealth, or do not work, or gave an unreasonably large sum of money and became far richer after that, are special cases. The fools that try to take special cases as the example to follow end up getting nowhere or loss all they have.

Many people in Church take out only one or two scenarios from the Bible and make a big deal out of it. They refer to the example of the woman who gave two mites which was all she had to the temple. That is just a special case. God does not expect all of us to be like the woman with two mites. Something is very wrong there. God does not expect all his people to be living in poverty and giving out of lack. Special cases in the Bible are not to be made as the norm. That is foolishness in the Church.

When Moses asked the people of Israel to give offerings for the tabernacle, they gave abundantly until Moses had to tell them to stop. But the Egyptians had blessed them with plenty of silver and gold when the Jews left Egypt. God gives first before He expects us to give back to Him. And He will stop us from giving more than we should. Just the appropriate portion is all that He wants us to give. He is not a God of slaves but a God of free people.
