The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week then prayerfully remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!

Please click this link to read Leviticus 27

"A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord."

Leviticus 27: 30



What I got from Jesus today is: Tithing! You can do it!

What I heard from Jesus today is that He wants to encourage you to tithe if you have not started tithing.
Lots of people want to get away from tithing so they ask all kinds of selfish questions from the 1/10 of your pocket that Sunday, to the money left over after all the spending, to before tax or after tax, to many more ways! Don't do that!

Tithing principle is very simple. 1/10 of what we have got belongs to the Lord and we need to give back God's money to God. Make an offering ten cents more than you 1/10 is an offering with your money. You offer less than 1/10 then you are "stealing" God's money and that's not what God wants you to do!

God does not need your 1/10 but as a good exercise to you so that you can be trained for life that money would not have the power to control you as your Lord lording your life to work, to labor and to die for more money!

The practice Michelle and I have been doing for years should be the same as for millions of Christians who obey God's basic financial principle . Say if your annual income is $70,000 than your tithing is $7,000, you may and should have extra offerings other than your tithing. The tithing should be offer to your home church and for those offering more than tithing, you may donate to other Christian organizations or other needy people. If you do not offer your tithing to your home church, then your church will have big financial problems! Don't do that!

God's Name will be honored if you tithe!
Your home church will be richly blessed if you tithe!
Your life will be richly blessed if you tithe!
Your family will be richly blessed if you tithe!
Your community will be richly blessed if you tithe!
Your nation will be richly blessed if you tithe!
The world will be richly blessed if you tithe!
God's Kingdom will be richly blessed if you tithe!

You really need to tithe! You can do it!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to understand the meaning and importance of tithing and be able to do it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
