their third tithe year, thereby experiencing fulfillment of the promise in
Deuteronomy 14:28-29:
At the end of three years, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of
thine increase the same year•.• that the LORD thy God may bless
thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
Below are only a few of the many accounts of brethren sharing how their
money stretched, needs were supplied from unexpected sources and extra
blessings were added.
We have just completed our third tithe year.
Last year I was
making $25,000.
This past year I passed $31,000 (Feast to
Feast). It was a good year. We had a second son born, bought a
new car, took several vacations (one paid in full by someone
else) and still had a savings account of $2,000 more than before.
We had $1,700 excess second tithe to give away and in general, we
prospered.
J.R. (Palm Bay, FL)
We have been blessed more in the last year than the last ten.
I
have told my wife that we cannot afford for 2.!:!!. third tithe year
to end. My income has more than doubled-!�
J.W. (Houston, TX)
This past year--my first third tithe year--I have been greatly
blessed, both financially and otherwise.
I have earned more
money than ever before and have also been given more money than
ever before by my Dad! I have spent a very profitable first year
at AC and was selected to go on this summer's Jerusalem
Archaeological Program. God has blessed me with a job I love,
which began immediately when my third tithe year started! I have
been blessed with many deep and lasting friendships; more than
ever. This past year has been full of blessings. I thank God.
A.C. Student (Pasadena, CA)
As I sit here this morning, I am in absolute awe of the marvellous
power of our Great God. I am overwhelmed by the blessings we as a
family are beginning to receive! You see, this is my first third
tithe year. What an experience to see the Almighty God so direct
circumstances in my life that not only can we pay all three of His
tithes, but at the same time enjoy more physical blessings!
There is no room to enumerate all o� them, so, just one.
I am employed at a small welding shop.
My employer has in the
past year constantly been on the verge of bankruptcy. Since I
began my third tithe year, we have taken in more work than we can
possibly do. I am often called to come in early and to work on
Sunday. So you see, even my employer who has no concept of God's
plan, is being blessed because he is indirectly involved.
I
would say to those whose third tithe year has not yet come,
expect blessings--look forward to it!
It will be a year of
wonderful and thrilling experiences as you see the results of one
of God's great laws taking place in your very own life.
