On Sunday I drove to Richmond, VA to attend a Prosperity Workshop at the Unity Christ Church of Bon Air. Having read several times Edwene Gaines’ gem of a book The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, I was eager to meet this dynamic, passionate, and powerful woman. She did not disappoint!
Edwene faithfully adheres to the biblical practice of tithing to acknowledge that God is the Source of all good. “Tithe your gross income to wherever you’re spiritually fed,” she advises. “Amazing things will happen if you put God first in your life and career.” Tithing is Edwene’s Number One Spiritual Law of Prosperity. She tithes on all her income…even the penny she finds on the street.
To those of you who seek to put God first in your business, my suggestion is this … Tithe! Tithe for six months and let me know what happens. I truly believe the Lord will bless you for your faithfulness … and give you peace.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” Malachi 3:10
Hi Jory,
What a fantastic picture. I have been a fan of Edwene’s for years and would love to meet her in person. I bet that was great for you. The concept of tithing to where you are spiritually fed is a great one – as I understand Edwene, that is not only limited to your church – even a waitress can provide you spiritual food.
Thought provoking post!

Thanks for your comment and insight, Maripat. Yes, Edwene recounts a beautiful story of being blessed by the spiritual wisdom and encouragement of a waitress. Love that. I am SO glad I saw her book on your shelf and you let me take it home with me to finish on the plane. She is an inspirational woman indeed. As are YOU!
Love and Hugs,
Jory
