Your church is where you pay your tithe. Prayer ministries don't suppose to be receiving tithe unless you don't have any church where you worship. But you can appreciate the pastor there. Every child of God must endeavor to pay h/her tithe don't let Atheists or your pastor's life style deceive you not to pay. It is for the work of God and if the pastor or the church decides to waste it, they'll face the consequence if not now on the judgement day.

so the normal offerring you pay is for what?

If I'm right, tithes are used to feed the servants of God and keep the ministry going
but...
If a church pastor or priest can sustain his church from his own pockets, don't even pay any tithe to him.
The Lord said, leave whatever you have and follow me. So, imo, our don't pay your tithe to any pastor that is rich already. use it to take care of the poor. they need it more.
I ain't giving my tithe to a fat pastor who rides a Bentley and owns 5 private jets.
The over religious people will have my head now but who cares... I'm just a potato salad.

Let's check a scenerio where you worship in a particular church, but attend a ministry else where and decide to pay your Tithe. How wise would it be to split your tithe among those places of worship?

Paying your tithe to a church is scam. You should be in charge of dispensing and administering your tithe.

Read Deuteronomy 14: 22 - 29

Where is it stated in the bible that you have to hand over 10% of your earnings to your church?

Det 14:22 said 'set aside a tithe - a tenth of your fields produce each year'. if you are earning from any field of your endeavor then you can pay your tithe; but if you are not earning whatever you give is an offering not a tithe. Tithe is for the House of GOD (see Mal 3:10-12) or the fatherless, widows (see Det 14:28-29). By giving we acknowledge God, its all about giving back to God and the society. If you don't have cash, you may have some knowledge, skills, etc that you use to help those you are better than, or you can use in the place of worship. Mat 23:23 and Luke 11:42 emphasize more on justice and love of God. Many fear God without loving HIM. Some give tithe just because to receive. Even though some priests/pastors are corrupt we give so that there will plenty in the house of the Lord. (Hope i answer your question, i stand to be corrected if there is any mistake)

Is like you are citizen of Nigeria but split your tax between Nigeria and America because you use to visit America. Bible is specific about place to pay your tithe, "In the store house" that is where you feed spiritually. Not where you visit occasionally.

Tithe is under the Levitical where the priest where not expected to be given enheritance under the Mosaic arrangement. the 11 tribes of Israel were expected to contribute 10 percent to the heads of the Levi and in turn, the Levi give 10 percent to the priest. (Heb 7:5).however, this arrangement did not bring perfection to man and God thus made a permanent arrangement through the Christ, tithe is for those dying (that is under the law) but those who live (that's under christ do not pay nor receive tithe) Heb 7:8.Heb 7:12 thereforr concludes the argument this way " For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well". This is the only part of the Christian Greek scripture where the word tithe appeared in the Bible and the letter was meant for Heb Christians who were mixing the law with the priesthood of Christ. while you are free to give all your earnings to God, please do not call it tithe,Christians don't pay tithe except you go show me where church (not temple) should pay tithe or receive tithe

I have a local church in my community which I previously attended, and which I know is in dire need of funds... Now I live in Abuja/Lagos/overseas and attend a mega church which is well to do. Out of simple wisdom, I would certainty be splitting my contributions 80:20 in favour of my old church. Anyone that says this is wrong lacks wisdom.

90% of people pay tithes not because they love God and doing his will. It's just because of the blessing which is attached to as mentioned in the bible PLUS recognition from Pastors. You see new members giving tithes just to get close to the pastor. I don't really go to church no more sha.

I need to mention this as well, the money you're giving as tithe, what is it being used for? Why pay 50k per month as tithe to a Pastor who's worth $150 million? Doesn't make sense at all. Even Jesus would like "see this stupid man". Ok, the bible instructed us to pay tax, you need to remember that the bible was written thousands of years ago and a lot has changed.

Why not make it a duty of yours to sponsor a kid in the motherless babies home? If the kid becomes anything great tomorrow, YOU MADE HIM, that's giving back to the people and there's nothing that gives more joy than that.

Instead of making your Pastor richer, change the life of an helpless kid..........

Happy Sunday

oga o. How did you come up with this fact? If I'm to go by what you said, ministry should be the right place sef. Because we go to ministries more often than we attend church services which comes up on Sundays.

I don't think there is anything wrong with splitting as long as you are taking it to the house of God, the command is to bring it into the store house of God .

Malachi 3:10King James Version (KJV)

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
that passage of the scripture is meant for the sons of Jacob which are athe Jews and not you as a Christian your pastor always quote 3:10 start from 3:6 you will see it was talking to Israel as a Nation

work of God like private jet, mansion and other fleet of businesses for GO and his cronies. I wonder Why people still think enriching pastor's life is doing work of God when Christ told d rich man to go sell all his properties and give d proceed to d poor without even ask for a tithe of it to be given to any church. He said ad long as you doit to the least Og these ones, you have done it to me
