“‘Test Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows of heaven, And pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.’” Malachi 3:10
I really learned about the principle of tithing after I lost my life and found RMI. I decided to start tithing again, but I had no income since I lost everything. So, my Beloved Lord showed me to start tithing from the grocery money my former spouse paid into my bank account. Then I started to get orders to make clothes and embroidery. I started to get nail clients, and my aunt asked me to help her at her checché in the afternoons. And I tithed from all of that to RMI that became my storehouse. Although it wasn’t a lot of money, I did not look at it in that way, I just knew I had to be obedient to my Beloved Lord and give my full tithe to my storehouse. And my Beloved opened more opportunities for me, it was baby steps in the beginning, but I saw His provision in my life, the children and I never lacked anything. When I needed help or something broke, He provided through my family.
The Wise Woman in Waiting book is the book I wish I had earlier in my life, but now I can use this book to teach my daughter not to make the same mistakes I made.
If you want to teach your daughter, or any younger women, to build her life on the Rock, please read CH16 "Opening Heaven". I also found that I learned so much from these lessons, gaining more wisdom to be a Wise Woman.

Thank you for sharing precious Adina. I will never forget when I made plans that I will tithe when I get my bonus, but our Darling Lord said to me to tithe and be obedient before that. And I have to admit I was so scared, because my money was just not enough and when I calculated I wasn’t going to get out with my money, so I stopped calculating. And today I can also really testify, that our Darling Lord is the Best ever Provider and we also lack nothing.
The tithe is so important. At first, when I learned about the tithe at RMI, I knew nothing and I was afraid. The Lord has blessed me with food, and when I am in need, He brings me food for those I need. The tithe is a principle of obedience and where we overcome fear, because we trust in Our Beloved
I too never understand the importance of tithing until I came to this ministry. It was scary at first especially not knowing where money would come from but like you ladies shared I never lacked anything and neither did my children. Even now after a restored marriage, there are many trials but our needs have always been provided for us. His Word and promises are so true. We must trust Him.
Dear Adina, Thank you for sharing this lesson, it reminds me of the struggle I had to start paying tithing. I barely know the principle and was so afraid of paying tithing and still not having enough money.
Once I started, the blessings started pouring in. My Heavenly Husband told me a while ago that I need to work one day less. Even though I am missing a third of my income, I do not lack anything. He provides for our family! I am so thankful that I learned this principle here.
