Okay, this is a challenge I need a solution to. My parents are saying no money no money when it is obvious that they have. My little brother is home because he has outstanding fees so I was wondering if I should give him my tithe to pay part while I pay the tithe next month when I get my next salary, I don't know what to do.

Mods please move it to fp, I need urgent solution to this.
it's very bad people misunderstand tithing.

My brother, Paying ur brothers school fees is paying your tithe. people make lot of mistake with this. A tithe is not only payed in the church.

tithe payed in the church is for everyone and tithe payed to the needy, less privileged, motherless kids and widows comes with much more blessings as said in the new testament.

Remember tithe is meant to be given to God and Jesus said what so ever you do to you brother, u do to me. I pray God gives you understanding

[quote author=crazysaint post=45485641]joke not with tithe.... To me i will advice you to pay your tithe first. Now checkout the blessings that follows in payment of tight: The windows of Heaven will be

herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I

God promised to pour His blessing to
you, by opening the windows of
Heaven. When your heaven remains
open you will struggle less. little
effort will yield bountiful harvest.
Opportunities will be staring at you
even you are not there the
opportunity will still be waiting for
you.
[Please go and pay your brother's fees. When God gave his only begotten Son "Our Lord Jesus" how much tithe did u pay him? What does God want or need your money for? It's really very sad knowing that we are mislead by religion or "men of God" who for the sake of their own bellies and greed encourage their flock to live in ignorance. As followers of Christ, we aren't meant to pay tithe. Tithe was one of the laws commanded by God to the Isrealites to pay to the levitical priests so that they can have food. But the priesthood has been changed also were the laws which made it. Jesus, the Most High Priest is from the tribe of Judah.... The old covenant has been replaced with a new one. Please read Hebrews Chapter 10.]

I had a gf I dated for 4 years. On this very good day she needed financial assistance to buy material in school, she requested 5k, I gave her 7k. 2k for pocket na. 2 days after she was sounding dull on phone, I insisted what the matter was, she told me she donated 5k to church, and she still needed to get her materials if I can give her another 5k, I almost slapped her on phone.

At a particular period she needed to pay her school fees and the due date was within 10 days from when she mentioned to me. According to her, her parents was going to get it probably a week after the due date elapse. I Borrowed her 25k to prevent her from paying extra charges and to pay back when her parents Pay. I asked her for the money a day after the fixed date they sent her the money but unfortunately she had used 20k from the money for donations in her church. I was mad, her conclusion was, anything she does for church, I'm always against it that I'm a devil. I was shocked. Honestly we broke the following month. The way people are so brainwashed ehn.

Oga, go pay your brother school fees. Or else no one will epp you and what matters mostly is that God understands that you wish to pay your tithe but your brothers problem stands

Truth is whether you like it or not. You pay or you don't pay, over 500 people will still pay their tithe, your change which will help your brothers current problem

Ehen Ehen...dt your Gf ehen...if nah me nah "Horse-Whip" I go use design her body

It's a shame really that people are falling for this gullibility the OP is creating. No, it speaks much about the attitude of the so called Christians here. Rushing to defend what they think is conscience and rightful thinking.

most people are asking him to pay his brother sch fees and forgo tithe but they havent stopped to ask him what happened to the other 90% of the whole money. God gave you 100% and asked for jst 10% for ur blessing while u keep 90% to ursef u stiil dey put eye for God own.

God doesn't ask for any money from him, that is only a trick from the pastors. if God really needs the money he would have just taken his own 10% before handing over his 90% to him.

ApostleT:


If you are a Christian you are not under the law of tithing. However it is a good thing if you choose to give a tenth of your income to the church.

If you understand that the church of Jesus Christ is universal then giving your tithe to your brother (who I assume is also part of the universal church) is not different from giving it to your local church. So I will say help your brother and do not feel guilty about it. It is an act of love and kindness that God appreciates more than a religious act of giving tithe to your pastor just to be in the good books of your local church or of your own feelings.

Most simple and mature response so far from the word. Grace be multiplied unto you my Apostle!

[font=serif][color=#1980BC]When and how will God definitely provide that money Oga?

His brother is in dire need of money right now and he should carry the money and dash a pastor?

Nawa o!

Maybe God will throw money down from heaven. [/colorfont]
You are suffering from delusion of grandeur. When you you dont know and you think you know, is the a very big problem!! Who told you paying tithe is dashing a pastor money? Tithe is between the op and God, no third party is included be it father, brother, mother or spoise. Its like giving someone his or her own share of a business deal. Its not in your place to spend ur partners money on his her or her behalf, or tell the person how to spend his share. Not paying tithe is not enriching any pastor if u have understanding is provoking divine bleasings on yourself. When you dont pay tithe,(10% of every increase) you are robbing God.

For f*k sake, what's this I am reading. I can't even comprehend. My brain about to shut down due to human foolishness. Nairaland is at the same time diminishing my sense of reasoning as it increases it. Today you are happy going through a thread, tomorrow you are crying following another. Chai today 10/5/2016 at exactly 11.30 following this thread, I am crying. I need to unfollow this poo before my brain gets relegated.

God created us in his own image, so helping your brother is same as paying ur tithe, just that you are not giving it to your pastor or church. That's my understanding

Any charity to make yourself a brother's keeper or a service to your fellow man in need, that is as good as a tithe or even better than a tithe that could go to make another pastor drive a second or third car to park it in a third house while he uses additional tithes to pay his own children's and brother's school fees.
Do what ever charity calls to you and consider it God's work. The money never reaches God anyway, its to be spent on God's earthly children here and its not always a guarantee of good charity with churches these days ~pastors flying private jets shocked.

Tithing is not mandatory for Christians. You are free to pay a tithe as mandated by your religious institution, but be clear; a tithe is not demanded by God.

What is demanded however is that your parents take proper care of their child and lay good grounds for their futures. If your parents won't listen to you, please involve someone they will listen too.

Don't set a precedent of spending your money when they should be spending theirs, unless they genuinely don't have.

Appreciate your desire to please God, and your care and concern for your sibling.

Don't mind all these charlatans screaming tithe this tithe that. Its a personal something without any form of mandation. I pay mine cos I want to pay it and I dont pay 10 percent but a stipulated approved petcentage which is reasonable.

I read people talked about pay your tithe or pay the fees..hmmm, firstly use your digression, paying tithing or giving to church is more of a choice and your faith, just do what your heart says and what you feel is right, dont be too religious about it,try pray and ask God for direction

Bro, God gave u 100% and after eating ur own 90%, u now want to use God's 10%...my advice for u is either u leave the boy @ home or use ur 90% if not u will just pay d fee in vain if u use ur tithe cos God himself MAY frustrate the boy's in school cos its HIS share u are using n u will still pray to the same God to help ur brother pass his exams...so how will wen u are using his share...

Your tithe could be in form of that school fees. ''Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me'' Matt 25:40

I'll be saying this islamicaly bro, in Islam we do Zakat either with money or foodstuff but its 1/10 of ur revenue for the year but there are certain conditions u must meet like you or any of ur immediate family member not owing a debt, like satisfying ur immediate family , by making sure ur parent and siblings are OK before observing Zakat. So I think u should attend to your brother's need first before that cos i also think God will not be happy to see ur bro fail.

Even as I am not against the paying of tithes I still but ponder why when it comes to tithe paying there's is a reference to the old testament with no single scripture from the new testament to back it up..... D essence of the tithe like I understood from d old testament was for the availability of food for the men of God who aren't involved in the day to day activities n thus d essence of tithes so that there could be meat "food" in the house of God....... Ask yourself which of these pastors aren't involved in today's day to day activities not to talk about d cars, schools, jets N co that these so called pastors now have...... I still will prefer helping d needy with my money . Kindly pay your bro school bills

He should ask God to provide for his brother, shey God na human being? God has already made it available in abundant for this OP (90% is left in his pocket) but he forgot to tell you guys what he used the 90% left to do and he's now bargaining on the 10%. #BackwardLife#MeaninglessQuestion#DeserveSlap.

Wrong

They usually do so to manipulate their tax liabilities

Go figure!!!!

Is it not morally justifiable to manipulate the tax and rather give back to the society than manipulate the same tax and fund an individual in the name of pastor who already has all the means?. Many will perish because of religion.
