Let me tell u that a prosperous church is a tithe giving church,not only that,also a giving church!
A church whose pastor does not pay tithe or help d needy will b a poverty-stricken church!
Many churches u see today that are prosperous are overseen by a tithe-given and a charity given pastor(i dnt want 2 mention names)!

The bible is clear abt the importance of tithing,Mal 3:8-9!
TITHE IS NOT A DEBT WE OWE(to God),BUT A SEED WE SOW!
What you sow ,you reap!
WHY SHOULD WE TITHE-
1. bcus God command it: refusal is rebellion!
2. Bcus u live unda d financial curse of God if u dnt!
3. Bcus God will giv u an increase of income wen u do!
4. Bcus God say He will rebuke d devorer(satan) 4 ur sake wen u do!
Tithing is a way of opening God's financial door upon our lives, pls dnt let d devil decieve u!

My pastor and his wife pays to other men of God who are like thier father in the Lord. Everyone pays tithe in one form or the other. Either to God or to devil. There is a prophet in ilorin who lost a 25 year old daughter about 2 months to get married, other men of God went to intercede for him and God told them that he has robbed him of tithe, atimes you might lose what you value, or you keep repairing or spending money on things

whether the G.O buys 10jets,100luxurious cars,50mansion e.t.c with your tithe or offering it is not ur biz because God is not complaining. The most important thing is for u to continue paying ur tithe to God through ur (don't touch my anointed)jetflying pastors so that u'll not burn in the lake of hell fire forever. I don't pay tithe meaning i've a nice room in hell where i'll be burning 4ever, pls don't be like me

Plz enlighten me on how GOD HAD CHANGED/NULLIFIED THE LAW OF TITHING. I realy wan2 knw cos I want biblical proof 2 stop tithing. I prefer giving my 10% to d poor

Read Hebrews Chapter 7: It refers to tithing as it relates to Abra(ham) - The Pre-Law Tithing (Heb. 7:1-4). Then it goes on to Tithing ACCORDING to the Law. That is as COMMANDED in the LAW with the Levi (Hebrews 7:5-6). Furthermore, It compares both tithing act (Heb. 7:cool. Again, the writer then SPIRITUALIZED Levi paying tithe into the act of Abraham paying tithe BUT we KNOW that Levi who are the priests were not commanded to pay tithe BUT to receive or take tithe according to same writer in verse 5.

The writer therefore went further declare the priesthood being changed MUST necessitate a change of law. Now the question is WHAT law? Is it the whole law or law of tithing which the writer says in verse 5, "have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law"? If you either or both, it will still lay a fundamental truth of verse 12 which states, when the priesthood is CHANGED, there MUST be a CHANGE in law also. Therefore, this change MUST affect the law of tithing. This is where change is effective! Hebrews 7:11-12 is where it was CHANGED!

The same writer nailed the discourse and declared tithing NULLIFIED in Heb. 7:18-19 (after introducing us to a better priesthood in Christ, vs. 13-17) in which verse 19 explains verse 18 better. It says, "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof". The ONLY commandment "going before" that the writer ever told us in "context" is found in verse 5 and the writer clarifies in verse 19 that this commandment is "according to the law" of verse 5.

Finally, the writer continued to draw us deeper to Christ from verse 19-End and says, we don't draw closer to God through or by the law BUT by or through Christ. God used the law to train the Israelites in the way of obedience. The Church was NEVER under the law at any time. Since the law had done its job, it ended in Christ and with Christ.

I'm really tired of explaining to these blind peeps that they are being defrauded by their pastors bt it seems they enjoy being beguiled. Henceforth i won't comment on any tithe topic. You guys can continue paying your pastor's salary tithes. Just don't complain to God when you are trekking under the sun and your pastor is flying in his jet.

Read hebrews 7:5-19 with special emphasis on verses 11,12,18 & 19 there you would see the scriptures were tithing was anulled for christians. It was also described as a weak useless and unprofitable law.

Also read deut 14:22-29, there you would learn that the church definition and practise of tithes is very wrong. Wld have posted the scriptures here myself but I am using my phone. Would appreciate if any brethen using a laptop could help post those scriptures here.

This a good example how God feels about tithe money. Firstly, i pray that d 25yr old girl makes heaven and secondly that she'll be able to forgive her father for causing her untimely death. The father can be sued to court (only if they could record God's voice) as evidence, so instead of complaining about how ur pastor is lavishly spending ur tithes, u should be fearful of what God can do to u and family. He visits the sin of the father on the daughter, GOD HATE TITHE ROBBERS THAN BOKOHARAM

As a matter of biblical truth........ANYONE WHO KEEPS PAYING TITHE IS UNDER A CURSE. The word of God is true. No wonder there are many tithe payers in church and yet, poverty abound. Have you asked yourself the reason behind this tragedy? The word of God gives us/you an answer,Galatians 3:10

New International Version (©1984)
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."

New Living Translation (©2007)
But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God's Book of the Law."


Friends, you see one of the problem with the law is, if you MUST obey or follow the law, you must obey/follow EVERYTHING. There are many things contained in the law that we don't practice today. In fact, the law was NEVER written to Christian (Gentile believers in Christ) according to Romans 2:14. You tell these preachers that the law says the wayward children should be stoned to death, they will tell you we are under the Grace and we cannot do that no more. Tell these preachers the law says adulterers and fornicators should be stoned to death, they will tell you we are NOW under Grace. Why are we NOT under Grace ONLY when it comes to tithe.

Besides, biblical tithe was NEVER from MONEY even though money existed since Genesis, it was ALWAYS crops and animals and even that biblical tithe had ended with Christ and in Christ as contained in Hebrews chapter 7. Not everyone in Israel was commanded to tithe, ONLY those involved in crops and animal. Jesus as a Carpenter didn't tithe because he didn't produce crops and animal. Peter, Paul etc NEVER tithed because they never produced crops and animal. Friends, NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE PAYS OR PRACTICE GOD'S BIBLICAL TITHE TODAY. What you have in the church system is modified and twisted version of God's biblical tithe which itself had ended.

This issue of tithe is really getting on my nerves. It went to its climax when my dad deducted 10% of his gratuity of 35 years in service for this exercise . I tried my best to convince him not to, that there were pressing issues that needed to sought out but he refused, i was mad.

"1.This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,2and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.4Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, their brothers—even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. 6This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. 8In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. 9One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. 11If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come—one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? 12For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law. 13He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. 14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17For it is declared:

“You are a priest forever,

in the order of Melchizedek.”a

18The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God"

"22Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 28At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands". - Deuteronomy 14 New International Version
