The threats about tithing is becoming worrisome but it takes a wise and enlightened person to know that tithing is not a MUST but a CHOICE according to what the Bible has made us to understand (only if you are reading the Bible with stupidity and delusion)

Christianity is beginning to constitute nuisance these days. No one bothers to talk about salvation any longer. It's always about how you're going to live the rest of your life in penury in you don't pay your tithe, how the doors of heaven is going to be shut against you if you fail to pay your tithe, why you should not give N50 as offering, etc.

It's however worthy of note that some religious leaders are robbing members to live luxurious life. If we look at what is happening today, we will see that African pastors are the most flamboyant and financially successful in the world. Religion has created an avenue for a lot of charlatans parading as "men of God" to fleece the poor of their meagre resources just to live in luxurious homes, drive the latest luxury cars, travel to the most exotic holiday destinations with their families,

Only rich people are now recognized in churches. The poor are being marginalized because they don't offer the church money.

God please come down and destroy this country make everybody go rest

Salvation is a CHOICE, so is tithing or giving.

Truly, they don't preach about salvation anymore. All they talk about is prosperity, but who's to blame? The pastor's or the congregation. The pastor preaches what they want to hear (money/prosperity) and not what they dont want to hear (repentance) The church in Nigeria is in a competition to have the highest branch network, that's why you will find Redeem, Christ Embassy, Deeper life occupying same building or in the same street. If they are truly after soul winning, the other churches need not establish a branch where the first church did, but as the churches are brands, they (pastors) believe people will choose their church over others

Wisdom can either be earned earthly or divinely because even the deficient leaders have deficient followers. Still, no one can walk the walk of another man without being an ardent follower . While the efficient leaders do have efficient followers. Clearly, the Bible mentioned it as a means to connect to one's extraordinary gift from God if One is an ardent follower of Christ and ultimately God. If people take advantage of others, doesn't mean, paying tithe is by choice. Of course not, tithing is strictly meant for Judeo—Christian Faith. And if anyone isn't comfortable with it, then atheism is available to switch over to but to be called a Christian and not pay tithe,isn't a crime to those who aren't believer of Abraham's faith but robbing God if One is a believer of Abraham's faith and Jesus Christ. We all have right to choice. And when we have choice, then let's choose wisely!
