Saintsammurai:Many your pocket not run dry in Jesus name. " Lay up not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal". You just spoke the truth. Am sure many will quote but just ignore the ones you can. Many claiming to be earning less can easily spend on lavish parties yet they expect God to bless them. Inasmuch many lunatic called preachers squand church offerings of which they will punished severely by God, there's no excuse not to give generously to your creator that has given free life. One need to visit the hospital to see things for yourself then they will understand better. It should be noted that giving should come from the heart and should be sincere not compulsion. |

so far on this thread, it seems Nigerians are now wiser and the pastorpreneurs are being frustrated. gone are the days they attach price (1m) to miracles while people rush forward to pay, they then reduce to 500k, 100k, 10k and 1k. while people hustle to be part of it with nothing to show for the effort thereafter. experience they say is the best teacher. Op, I seriously understand your frustration. 1 Like |

This OP needs slap......let God himself judge whoever is not giving honestly from his pocket......it's not your duty or business to dictate what another person should give. I pray that God slaps your mouth with what you have stupidly written down. |

[quote author=Saintsammurai post=60307363]SO many NIGERIA christians are with these mindset of going to church with any amount of cash in their their hands..to use for offering....AS a worker or as an employed human, that receives monthly salaries,, And as a true and a non hypocritical christian, you should be able to put nothing below 1,000 naira every sunday in the offering box. "You cannot spend thousands on drinks, food and recharge cards, including dstv and go tv subscriptions, etc.. without setting outside nothing less than Four thousand naira for the four sundays in a month, just to use as an offering, "note" "this is excluding "tithe" "Putting 100 naira, 500 naira, 50 naira in an offering box shows disrespect and disregard for GOD almighty, for he deserv much more than that.....WE dont have to be christians by mouth making, we need to show it too with our money....i hope you all change for the glory of GOD.[/quo Stop deceive people with name of God, does God spend money or has anything to do with your money? Has any pastor ever told the congregations on how they spend the money or print out financial report for congregations. You're a pretender deceiving people with name Of God to make money. Has the same pastor ever cared on the members that has not been taking 3meal a day except asking for donations everytime. |

Saintsammurai:I see dat though u claim to be a Christian, u actually don't read ur Bible. U mentioned spending for God. And the best way to spend 4 hod is to take care of d underprivileged. Hence Jesus said, wat ever u do to the least of these ur brethren, that u do unto me. It's not bad to give in church bt believe me, if u can't love the downtrodden amongst u. Any thing u claim to do for God is hypocrisy. "for if u cannot love ur neighbour who u see, how can u claim to love God who is the invisible one". Try making use of ur Bible irrespective of wat u are being told by ur pastor. 1 Like |

I am a born again Christian and I only give what the Holy Spirit tells me to give, not what a pastor or a nairalander says. Jesus said to the Pharisees that they give tithes and offerings yet neglect their parents. Matt 23:23-"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law,justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. I cannot understand how a Christian will impose a minimum amount of contrbution on another Chrisian,only God has a right to do that. This is why the church is not effective because we have neglected showing mercy to others. A person earning N18,000 who has a wife and child, has given 10 percent as tithes, leaving him with about N16k. From the remaining he has to travel to work and church, buy food, pay school fees, pay nepa bills, give to parents. Yet you expect him to give N4000 every month as offering. Hmm!! even the bible tells us to count the cost of anything before doing it. Wisdom is profitable to direct. My husband tithes 25% and I tithe 10%, God speaks to us differently. TBH, I am hoping to increase my tithes at some point but not because my pastor told me, but because I believe that is what God wants. Very importantly, my pastor/vicar does not drive fancy cars. He is a a servant leader( when you come to my church you won't even know he is the pastor as he sits within the congration) We ( all church members) know where the money is going and you are allowed to nominate charities or missions where you want the money to go. Nigerian christianity needs to look properly at itself. We will one day give account to God. 2 Likes 1 Share |

God is all sufficient, He has no need for our offerings or sacrifices. Whatever one offers or sacrifices in the name of God seeking His pleasure and closeness is for oneself not for God. |
