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.

Pastor too must eat and feed his family o. so remember that but it does not mean church money should be lavish on men on God only, the needy and the church building is also among.

Bro, take a chill pill, ok! What anyone drops as offering shouldn't be ur headache. It's a personal thing. Pastors are rocking designer's & living large, is that not enough? I drop what I ve 2 drop, life goes on, nor be by force �

I think it's wise to put things in perspective. Offering of 1K every week (at d salary of 18k) is unwise because...

Firstly, besides tithing and other offerings, the Israelites had very few thing to pay for. They didn't pay taxes(until the Roman conquest).

Secondly, the Israelites never had to worry about fuel for generator, house rent, NEPA bill, security bill,water bill, kerosene(or gas if you're classy), school fees, taxes(as mentioned previously) etc all costs money and are not free.

Thirdly, tithe was implemented because the tribe of Levi was the only tribe that was not given an inheritance of all the 13 tribes of Israel(13 as the tribe of Joseph branched out into Manassas and Ephraim) and so other tribes had to take care of their needs. However this is not the case in modern church(with the exception of Jehovah's witness).on any given Sunday, the laity would pay in excess of five different offerings even bulletin is not free.

Churches of today own businesses and schools where they charge Nd arm and a leg, so they can't claim to be dependent on the tithe. BTW the Catholic church is worth over 200 billion dollars .

guy Abeg no make me vex, which kind needy? they collect money from millions of people n can never feed a community ravaged by flood. concerning church building, I don't even care about this cos it's like they are enlarging there coast. ask yourself who owns d properties in the long run? no b pastor n his family? with how wealthy churches are in Nigeria if we have idp camp been managed by church in all those areas people are suffering is it too bad? y buy a jet of 4 billion when u can establish a company with that same amount n employ only your church members thereby countering unemployment. if truly they are for God, y use church proceeds to build a church your church members cannot afford? what's is wrong with giving back to the society, u have over 50 cars when u can make do with maximum of 20.those big church there pastors n church members are suffering big-time. still they flaunt there wealth anyhow. ask your self when Jesus turn did the miracle of bread n fish, did he open a bakery or cold room to commercialise it? is that not what pastors of nowadays do. to add insult upon injury I even read it on tribune about a church that paste names of tithe defaulters n u are telling me this people are doing it for God. this days I no even dey go church again cos if u read your Bible n attend all these churches u will b angry cos they are doing opposite of what is in d Bible but there gullible followers will not read there Bible they will only open the side there pastor preached n as a wise businessman a pastor will always preach about prosperity n not the deeds of jesus

Abiiiiiiii.This is the problem the OP is having. Ability to convere your message in the right words and spirit. No law we must give 1000 naira.setting a benchmark is heresy.saw one post with breakdown amount and price from a Ghana church moths ago..Pure heresy. Pls teach people to give and give cheerfully. Don't force or cajole Gods loved ones.Your money won't move God. Dats the truth. Its your Faith in his word. Don't come and turn God to baba Ijebu.pls tell people and preach the gospel and not money.I dey vex for some pastors imagine them forcing peopw to sow,sacrifice etc.asking them about the highest seed they have given God.and now saying God says he or she should double it.haba. I run for my life.all this personal training in giving OP has should not be forced on others as a Law.Me for example has increased my offering to 5H but today I couldn't pay that,I gave 2H today and now u say 1K will make me fell ashamed.Pls let's give from the heart and not by force. Teach people Gods word N tell them yo give well and don't set boundary for them.You be God minister of offering and finance. Haba

Like seriously, why will someone in his rightful sense say such a thing when you know that the this scammer (pastors) are living luxurious life at the expense of your wretched life and even the schools established with the tithe payers money ain't accesible by the majority due to tuition fees that are higher than foreign schools.
