So the Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. That God gives the wicked the work of gathering and laying up wealth for the sons of righteousness. Those are some powerful passages of scripture and I believe them. There are those who may think that God will just snatch wealth from some guy and give it to you like Mugabe taking the land from the White settlers in Zimbabwe. That is not the case. What he does instead, is present you with entrepreneurship opportunities, gives you wisdom, ideas and key strategies that then allow you, through business deals, to take the wealth from the world. Deuteronomy 8:18 "Remember the Lord your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth"
Some think that the wealth is so you can just have a ball, live in a big house and buy some designer clothes. As much as God wants you to do that, I believe the main reason for the transfer of wealth is so that you can finance the Kingdom. Finance missions, crusades, childrens homes, poverty reduction projects, create jobs and assist in the society as needed and directed by the Spirit of God. The Gold is for the building of the Tabernacle. Living large and flossing are fringe benefits of being the keeper of the purse (and make no mistake that is all you are).
We are always adviced to learn saving with what we have. If you make Ksh. 1000 save Ksh. 10 and as your money increases you will have formed a habit of saving. As a Kingdom financier, you need to start where you are with what you have. Pick a project to support and support it faithfully. Tithe to the Kingdom faithfully as well. Now, whereas the Tithe is mandatory, Giving is free will, so you need to set the amount you want to give according to what you have but remember also that with the same measure you meet it shall be given unto you.
I have discovered lately that there seems to be a direct corelation between my giving and my recieving business ideas from God. Interestingly enough, the ideas I get seem to then be supported by the government or another organization that even offers financing for the same. I am reminded of a sermon by my spiritual mother Rev. Kathy Kiuna that I am a woman with "No Limits!!"
I believe it!

I would prefer to send you an email but you did not provide that on your profile.
Please consider a different view on tithing. One place to start is www.nomoretithing.org. It has links to about two dozen books and about three dozen websites that all teach that 'tithing' is not a requirement for Christians and is not a guarantee of prosperity.
