I just want to share with you our road to becoming a faithful giver of tithes to our church.
Me and my husband had been Born Again since 2010 and to be honest, we do not follow what is written in the Bible that we are to give 10% of what we have such as earnings and salaries. Me and my husband talked about giving 10% of our salaries to our church. I have to be honest that it was hard for us as this will be the first time that we will do it in 3 years.
This happened last week and I earned 4,800 for 2 weeks and my husband earned 4,200. So that means that it's a total of 9,000 and we are to give 900 of it to church. If you think of it, 900 can buy a can of milk for our daughter, groceries and pay our water bill or electricity.I was tempted to reduce the amount but with God's help, we survived the whole week waiting for Sunday service to arrive and then we gave our tithes.
I talked to my husband about it and he said that he was also feeling the same way. He thought the amount was too high but then he thought it will be for God. We are so proud of this achievement. It felt good when we are able to provide and give back to God all the blessing we received and we believe that there will be more blessings to come.
