If you read my previous post on tithe, you will discovered that you can give when you have, even though tithe is meant to be paid monthly and we have many needs that need financial response, what is advisable to do is to remove the actual money meant for tithe immediately after you have been paid your monthly salary.

When you receive huge amount of money or your salary, get a chair, sit down and write down the basic things you need and their respective prices. Doing this will reduce debt and you will be left with some money to pay your tithe.

From research, budget has helped to reduced 80% of debt, engage yourself on monthly budget as it will be a life saver and you will be able pay your tithe at due time.

  1. I’m glad that I came across this tool just a few days ago. For a long time I committed my life to tithe as it’s vital in our Christian life.
    I usually give my tithe few days after I get my fortnightly pay. Sometimes I tend to think I might just give this amount incase I might not have enough to pay off my dept, so I give less.
    That week I end up wasted the money in just not important things. Help me to see the important of taking the first fruit of my income in obedient to the Word n give with a cheerful heart .
