Dont Be Deceived In Church Today Brethren. by honourhim: 7:32am On Jun 07, 2015 |
When pastor tells you to give a sacrificial offering to God today, a violent offering, a painful offering that will cost you much in order to prosper, pls give that offering to a brethren in need of it. Giving to God is not only when you give to pastor/church, dont be deceived. When you give to the least of the brethren you have giving to God. Again i say dont be deceived. Matthew 25:37-40 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Most of these pastors stress so much on giving to God because at the end of the day the offering you gave in the church is under their control. Dont fall for their greed and selfishness. Let God direct you today. 103 Likes 10 Shares |

honourhim:True my brother. Where I fellowship we pay tithe and as the treasurer 100% goes to the conference Instead of the church retaining the money and spending it on the poor in our street. As for me Instead of giving my money to be used to feed pastors who are supposed to be feeding themselves like the Apostles I had rather find a Good message online and make tracts of it to distribute to people. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

Hero10001:Meat for whom? How much meat is enough for the priest while there are so many needy out there? For example, if the average person in a pastorial community cannot be sure of one square meal a day, is it morally justified for a pastor, who feeds on the goodwills of that community, to enjoy 3 square buffet meals, with dessert? 7 Likes 1 Share |

elantraceey: In the early church, offerings were shared to every man according to their needs and no man lacked anything but in our time offerings are pastors personal property. Is that right? Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

starlingslimnet: Sorry. But no. When God commanded tithes he said 'so their might be food in my house'. And in the ancient times, there were offerings that only the levite priests could eat if they wanted to. But still don't let your pastor con you into giving offerings. If he asks you to contribute to the development of the church, you can if you will. But, don't let him scare you with false pronouncement. 2 Likes |

starlingslimnet: you are doing the right thing. but print good message of prosperity not fear. plaetton: giving to the poor will only increase poverty. the best way to help the poor is becoming rich and by inspiring them, not feeding or pitying them. 4 Likes |
