# Maintain a positive confession;
As a child of God u shouldn't talk like the rest of the world, reason the bible says-
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.Job22:29

#Work hard;
God expects His children to work and not fold their hands, see proverbs 14:23
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. So ya'all needs to work hard.

# Pray regularly for your government;
Some might not be of this opinion but See 1timothy 2:1
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

#Pay your tithes and your offerings;
This might spark up reactions, but its a choice paying the tithe or not, but to me it's only telling God that He can trust you with much, when you pay your tithes...
It's just a show of love to the one who gave you the 100%.

#Invest wisely as a Christian;
This is another reason why you got the Holy ghost, cos He will guide you into investing wisely.

#Give to the poor amongst you;
No greater way to succeed as a Christian if you don't give, God gave Jesus to us, why can't we give back to the poor and needy.


Please add up your own.....

Pastor! So you want uninterrupted tithe collecting for this hardship ba? God is watching you.

All you said are order except number 3. Pray for which government?
And hope not this kind of confession

Maintain a positive attitude.
Dress well let it not be as if the world is on your shoulders.
Buy what you need and not what you want.
Before buying something with your hard earned money, ask yourself... Do I need it or want it.
Finally, know that this cup of recession will pass away... No kill yourself

Oboi 2nd to comment

i agree with all your point EXCEPT give to the poor among u.

na pesin wey don chop belleful fit dash him neighbour

How? In this time?

Work smart.... Invest wisely.... Give to the poor and needy out of ur excess... Not to your pastor who has abundant..... Unless ur pastor is very poor and needy..... And if he is...tell him to go get a job....

Be wise in your giving!

Always be positive and optimistic.. not silenty wishing for d govt.'s failure to score cheap points

Time to pay tithe well

If only i could understand what the op is saying



Person wey hunger go flog hunger go still flog

No matter how hard things are, God will never leave his children to beg for bread. He still cares..

Hmmm

How to prosper the pastor you mean??

Thumps up tk Ambode! !!

Tithe ko tight ni tithing is a pious fraud promoted by some manipulative churches. There is no requirement for Christians to tithe in the bible.

I knew paying of tithes must be among
Like Scarface rapped
"They tell me see my pastor but I don't go
Cause they all be on this one street
So I take it on myself to thank him one deep
And give my money to the most needy
And never put it in the hands of the most greedy
Cause their puttin' a price tag on a man's word
And it's a fashion show, so the men flirt
The world is endin' so they try to make us switch fast
And they openin' up these churches for some quick cash
And usin' the money fo' they new cribs
While brother Johnson just got kicked out where he lived
I follow no man, cause man be phoney

hmm

Piece of trash. The only way to suceed is hard work. I didn't have to do any of the criteria you mentioned to be where I am today. However, I give to the poor not because I wanna be more successful but because of my altruistic nature. Africans will continue to be caught up praying for their government while the rest of the world continues attaining new milestones. Develop Africa and stop wasting your time praying that things will get better. We didn't get to where we are today by praying while folding our hands doing nothing.
You guys pray for your government but still try to come here at littlest opportunity... Maybe because ur prayers arent working. Develop Africa!!

We pray to God for the government. The government prays to God too for a miracle. Let's be more pragmatic. Be a solution & don't wait for a failing government to determine your fate.

The church asks us to depend on God for a miracle, yet they depend on our offerings. GOD DONT SPEND MONEY, MEN DO!! I'd rather help a neighbor or brother in need. "Whatsoever you do to the least of your brethren ..." Remember?

Agreed! But don't wait for the Holy Ghost alone o. Consult experts and seek counsel in Investment.

you no pay tithes??

In all, first and fifth points are on point.

Government is not by prayer. If it is by prayer we should be way ahead of countries like China which is atheist or US or UK.

Tithe is just to enrich the "church"

I count all pastors who make tithe a must and the 11th commandments criminals... quote me and I will educate you why I don't serve a God that need bribe from me b4 he blessed me..I serve a God who dwelet in the heavens and own all things here on earth in heaven and Benet the earth.He bless me according to his mercies and not my tithe..iam not a Jew under the law but a Christian under grace trough Christ Jesus..

Op, I'd you like maintain a positive confession from now till next. Positive confession won't help but hard work. Or could you maintain a more positive confession than Goliath in the bible? Who said he would tear up the flesh of David and feed is yo the birds of the air.
About giving tithe to the pastor. We all know no sensible man would be giving out 10% of his income for a fraudulent scheme.
Well, every malla.m to his kettle

All very correct, these are biblical principles

The bottom line is are all above inline with the scriptures? Yes they are. Any other opinion is human ideology.
May God help us all
