I dont know why some people are so pained on this tithe issue. Is any one forcing you to pay tithe, we that are paying it, are we complaining? So whats the fuss all about. IF YOU ARE AGAINST TITHING FOR NO SENSIBLE OR JUSTIFIED REASON, YOU ARE OF THE DEVIL.

nicemuyoo:
Tithe consist of agricultural produce that MUST come only from the boundaries of the land of Isreal. Tithe is not money!!! Tithe is ONLY used to cater for the levies, widows, orphans, stranger and the tither never for church buildings. That was in the old covenant law.
Tithe is not applicable today but the spirit of free will offerings applies done with right motivation and in secret not for public knowledge as clearly instructed by the messiah himself or else you don't get any blessing for it from God only mens approva and praise

victorioushands:
I do not know what T. B. Joshua said on tithe but, if he differs from others, then what he said is the right one. Some of the 'leading' pastors in Nigeria are already in a pit they don't know how to come out from and they will do anything to justify whatever took them them just so they can feel not so lost.

One man revealed what was done him in 4square and many think it's an isolated case but the truth is that it's happening in over 90 percent of today's churches. I have experienced it more than once and you need to be committed in every way to know these things do happen.

Abraham paid tithe on the spoils of war, and not on his other earnings, I am open to correction though


My father! My father!!

Ride on sir!

Tithing dates far back before the Mosaic law. It is a covenant practice born out of revelation and insight into the deep things of God.

Father Abraham gave tithes.
Jacob gave his tithe.

And if we are Abraham's children and are now partakers of Abraham's blessings, then we must equally engage the deeds of Abraham (Hebrews 7).

Many are busy shouting, "we are now under grace, and not under the law, therefore the law should be done away with". Is this only regarding tithing?

I hope grace has now nullified the law that says thou shall not kill, thou shall not commit fornication, thou shall not lie, thou shall not worship any other god besides me, etc.

Many have become abusers of grace because they don't understand what grace is and what it has come to do.

Grace is the divine ability to do God's will without limitation where ordinarily, men would fail. Grace rides on the wheels of Mercy.

It is this mercy (divine pardon) that everyone enjoys today as a result of the blood that Jesus shed on Calvary. That is why, when many ought to have died instantly after committing a sin, they live on. Mercy suspends at outright almost instant consequence for sin and gives many chances for repentance.


The death of Jesus didn't abolish tithing because if it does, then it also abolished the sin of murder, idolatory and fornication.

His death only grants us divine pardon from the immediate consequences of sin.

God told me you are a big THIEF!!! Ole jati jati.....! Too much emphasis on this tithe ish shows that all you care about is money! OLE man.

HeyCorleone:



Lol.. You still didn't give reasons why pastors shouldn't be accountable to their members.

opesky74:

You people still don't know how to read the bible, you don't come here posting excerpt of 2 to 3 verses, but you have to read the whole chapter to understand what it says. Further in that chapter, it talked about the law being imperfect, hence a need for change, which is why Jesus christ came. Just read your bible properly

lebete3000:


Trying to know what your pastor uses your tithe for means you actually didn't give it to God, cos if you did will you ask God what He's using your tithe for?

"When you give, you give to the Lord"- Ron Kenolly.

Safiaa:
People need to stop worshipping this man like he is christ. I dont trust this man at all, he is extremely dodgy.

CyberFury:
Last I checked God didn't note down any account number in any the bible.

So I can tell you this idea of tithe is something that came up along the line, and became a law that people like Adeboye are willing to die to uphold because that's what fuels their private jets.

They tell us to pay tithe and we pay, and they build schools with the money and then make the fees unattainable for the poor masses that paid to have these schools built.

Your kid gets sick and they ask you to bring him to the church for prayers only releasing the poor kid when he's at the point of death, but when their kid gets sick he's flown out of the country in a private jet to a top notch hospital.

God has given us brain, and as such expects us to make use of it from time to time. Not making use of your senses is in fact a sin.

You keep fueling private jets and putting food on people's tables, while you can't take care of your wife and kids.

Please stop allowing green algae to cover your brain due to lack of mental activity.

HeyCorleone:




Tither you have been spotted.

Happy now?

By sheep I meant the animal as it is. Senseless by nature. Not thinking. If one enters fire, the rest follow it.

The instruction you gave was from the old testament. How many Old Testament instructions are still followed till now?

I'm not even sure you know what the word contradiction means.

Keneeby:


How many of all these you mentioned have you done? Be honest with yourself.

HeyCorleone:



Matthew 25:31-46 tells me exactly where to find the face of God. Never for once is tithe or donations or giving to a minister mentioned there.

lebete3000:


I guess you sent me the wrong reply cos I'm yet to see any correlation between this scripture and the topic at hand.

I repeat giving to the poor doesn't subtitle for Tithe and vice-versa. It's like saying because you help the poor you'll make heaven even if you don't believe in Christ.

As a Christian you know that's definitely impossible cos Christ is the way.

Such a person is just being d Biblical Foolish Virgin in the Parable of our Lord Jesus Christ.

yemi1261:
I initially wanted to like and support your post but I became disappointed at a point. Plseas try and understand people's fuss on this issue. Not all are outrightly against tithing even though I am yet to be fully convinced about it going by what I have seen and heard.I think the bone of contention here is that God commanded it to make available food in his storehouse so that the less privilege will see something to eat. These less privileges are the ones reffered to as levites who had no inheritance in the land. But today, what are these tithes used for; acquisition of earthly materials, building of too expensive universities and other frivolosities. Tithing is not bad but let our men of God do as God commanded

HeyCorleone:



You have no right to refer to anyone as a plastic Christian. Such term is very derogatory.


Why is it that it is those very "authentic Christians" that are the first to cast the first stone?

I am not saying tithing is wrong. What I am clamouring for is accountability and transparency. Let the G.O regularly publish or tell his Church members how tithes and offerings are spent up to the last penny. At least such practice was evident in the Old Testament. The pastor is both answerable to God and Man.

legendte:

You are not far from the truth brother but I leave you this, try giving the amount to the poor and less privileged and see how more fulfilled you will be. How do you cope with paying tithe rather than helping the helpless among you? Jesus centered his teaching on helping the defenceless. Giving generally makes you feel good but insisting on tithe as a law makes it look like we are still under the law. Christians means followers of Christ and the bible would have captured it if it were necessary for us as Christians. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto me. It's a personal thing anyway. I didn't say people shouldn't give to the church but they shouldn't make it look like it is a pre condition for our blessing. Blessed is he that giveth than the one that taketh.

They did signs, wonders and miracles to prove they had communication with God.

Which has Adeboye done?

Harrynight:


Correct urself! dont stand with Enoch cos he's wrong.... stand wit the truth as found in the Bible which simply state that Tithing has been scrapped From the Era of Jesus christ!



no man of god will tell u this truth i belive cos of what they stand to loose!

Armorall:
Tithing is to trust God. If I refused to pay Tithe, that means I have refused to trust God. So to Trust God, I will cease to be my brother's keeper and pay my Tithe to my Pastor, who will in the same spirit buy Private Jets as an easier means to take my money to God. I referred this to 18th century age of the Westerners. This means it will take Africa another 200 years to get to where Western world is Today.
