Men and women on drugs, drink, porn, and everything else that follows, these are prayed for.. It's the Church that needs our prayers, believers in Christ who have one foot in the door, and the other in the world, Christians that come to Church on Sunday, who does bible studies and fits in with the crowd are the ones that needs our prayers. Young people coming to Christ-because mummy and daddy are Christians, they say to their Children, which way would you prefer, to be with Jesus in heaven in all His glory, or spend eternity burning in hell! Of course the Children will say they would rather spend eternity with Jesus, then Mummy and Daddy will say 'now say this prayer, and everything will be alright, you are saved. Most Christians believe once saved always saved, this isn't true, those who are truly saved, are led by the Spirit changing for Christ. {Romans 7:18-19} Paul makes himself clear, how he feels after sinning, "But now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me, {that is, in my flesh} nothing good dwells, but to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will do, I do not do, but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. This is a heart of a Christian living for Christ. Are people coming to Christ for the right reasons, most of the time Mummy and Daddy haven't a clue where their Children are, they can pull the wool over their parents eye's, but they can't pull it over God's. But not only the youth are to blame, of the street, or just out of prison Pastors, have learned new ways how to make plenty of money without them being caught by the law. Legalism in Church have allowed criminals to turn a Church into a business, that's earning monies they themselves couldn't of made in a life time on the street. Pastors preaching to be paid. |

OLAADEGBU: Obedience is the shortest route to blessings. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 8:56am On Nov 15, 2017 |
I agree-but ripping of the Church of God in tithes and offerings, is not walking in obedience, the law on tithing is a sin, and it does not bless you, it can't bless you, and it won't bless you. I am not going to waste my time preaching to you, it doesn't matter how the Word of God is written, you heart is no where to be found, plus if we were brothers in Christ, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Re: Tithes And Offerings by OLAADEGBU(m): 3:22pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
brocab: We are definitely not brothers in Christ because you still have mammon as your god. All you seem to be preaching about is the love of money. The word mammon signifies "that which is to be trusted." You cannot trust God and money. It's either you trust God or you trust in money as your source of joy, great love, sense of security and the supplier of your needs. "Where your treasure is there will your heart be." |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 4:05pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
Thanks for being so honest, I was starting to panic, that had taken the weight of my shoulders, we aren't brothers.. God warns us-about the tithers that collect mammon of tithes and offerings, He warns us in Word, "Men of corrupt minds destitute of the truth who suppose that godliness is their means to financial gain. Did you know Jesus said: from such withdraw yourselves. Are you listening to Him, or is tithing to much for you to bare that your only way in surviving is tithes, it gives the key to your success and security, without money you can't be blessed. Well stranger I have news for you-lay down your life for Jesus, and He will set you free from tithes, taken those heavy burdens from you too. Lets join together and come and spend eternity with the lord, stand with me, stranger that we may become brothers in the lord, and share the wonderful truths about the Word of God free of charge sharing the lord's blessings. 'Doesn't this sound great, we could rely on the lord to provide our needs as He promises. All is this to much for you to bare? OLAADEGBU: |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:47pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
brocab: It is good that we don't have to deceive ourselves. The fact that you said that you serve the lord (notice the lord with the lower case), that is definitely different from the Lord (with the upper case) that I serve. I again stress that you serve mammon who is your lord as you cannot serve the God (Lord) and mammon (lord). Go through all your posts on it will be difficult to see you posting anything other than money matters and why Christians are not supposed to give to God. Your lord (mammon) has given you work to do and that is to discourage children of God from being obedient to the Word of God. If you want to spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ you must first of all forget about giving your money. He needs you to first give Him a place in your heart. What is money if both the holder and the money is to perish in eternal fire? Covetousness is the idol that prevents many religious people from serving the true God. Godliness with contentment is great gain. When God eventually conquers your heart let your wallet be conquered too, don't lose eternity because of it. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 4:58am On Nov 16, 2017 |
So you are a JW now, they speak of the larger and lower L or l, is tithing mammon, I believe so, are you a tither, yes that is true too. Do you preach tithing, yes you do, to you take tithing from the poor, yes you take that too.. You argue over tithes, you preach tithes, you collect tithes, your pockets are plenty, you lie against the Children of God, your riches are full. I have shared the gospel, I have given the scriptures and still you haven't given any sign, the Word of God is the truth-you haven't tested the Spirit, What more can I say? Maybe it will better for you, to go through my post, instead of looking at them as an attack against you, try reading the scriptures, ask the Spirit of the Lord to show you the meaning to each verse, maybe you should be asking yourself, have you wondered why brocab have spent so much time sharing these scriptures to you? Maybe it's time for you to test the Spirit, ask Him to give you the answers to every verse, brocab had shared with you.. Listen bro, I am here because I was sent here, to help you read and have some understanding about the Word of God, all I have been doing is sharing the Word to you, bro, sometime in our lives we were led down this very same old road, and it was a matter of time before we cried out to God, to show us in Word and in truth "is tithing today biblical. The answer I received is in my words, and I will share the gospel across every nation, until Jesus returns.. I could laugh at this below, because it is very hypocritical by you, you claim you don't worship money and then you write something like this. "But as I said: we once believed in the tithing gospel too, until the Lord had showed us in Word, we were set free, from the enslavement that you are trying so hard to lay the burdens of tithing upon our hearts. Quote+first you say this-If you want to spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ you must first of all forget about giving your money. He needs you to first give Him a place in your heart. What is money if both the holder and the money is to perish in eternal fire? {Isn't tithing given in money. and you say, don't give your money, and you say the people should tithe, you preach tithing, you preach money.} And second you say this-Covetousness is the idol that prevents many religious people from serving the true God. Godliness with contentment is great gain. When God eventually conquers your heart let your wallet be conquered too, don't lose eternity because of it. [/quote] So now you believe tithing money saves us-I will lose eternity with God if I don't give my wallet over to Him. Do you actually believe, God will conquer our hearts over money, are you insane, do you actually believe God will punish us because we refuse to tithe, if you were to learn the scriptures clearly, you will see this doctrine does not belong to God, if prosperity preachers, acted upon the scriptures, no-one around the world will be hungry poor and destitute, but unfortunately they look after themselves. Had it come to your mind, why your pastor lives in a mega home, drive fancy car's, wearing the best clothing, and living in the most expensive area, while you and your family, your Children are still living in the slums? When will it be your turn to receive 30, 60, 100 fold money back guarantee. Allow me to pray--Lord you have sent me here to glide and support our lost brothers in Christ, I have tried Lord to reach out to these men and women, Lord forgive me, for I have not yet accomplish my tacks. I pray for QLAADEGBU Lord help this man see the light, open up his eye's and set Him free from these heavy burdens he had laid upon himself, caste these lies away from him he had chosen to believe. Amen.. OLAADEGBU: |

Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 8:52am On Nov 18, 2017 |
Well it seems you haven't moved towards the Word of God 'just a fiction, I have no-idea where you received your information, I have read the verses you have shared with me, but I have never managed to find how you understand them, and why people twist Malachi around to only suit an arguing need? I read my bible, and the Lord had already warned me about deceivers at work-I have answered you and shared with you the Word of God, but you haven't yet made any comments concerning His Word? Nor have you given anybody any evidence to prove how you understand your doctrine. Jesus warned us of wolves coming in, as sheep, and false prophets have come and gone, they had deceived the world with signs and wonders, if possible even the elect, even through the gospel. {Matthew 24:23-25} As I read the Word of God, I can see, how easy it is to be deceived, if Christians refuse to read their bibles, it is so easy for anybody to play the conman to deceive them. If people were seeking after Christ, they would know how to recognise a discernment, especially around those prosperity preachers with corrupt minds, destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is their means to financial gain. If people spent more time in the Word of God instead of doing their own agenda's in life, like idolizing their pastors or finding other agenda's other then God, they would understands the Word of God without being deceived in Church; they would listen to Jesus and withdraw themselves. Does anybody realise Pastors are just men, they serve for a wage, they are neither the shepherd nor the owner of the sheep. {John 10:11-14} Jesus said: I am the good shepherd, "The good shepherd lay's down His life for the sheep. {But the hired man-who merely serves for wages, who is neither the shepherd nor the owner of the sheep, when he see's the wolf coming, deserts the flock and runs away, and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them} This is a good description who the Pastors are in this day and age, just men serving for a wage, they are nothing like the apostles, the apostles served and preached the gospel freely. "It makes a difference to have a discernment, between the wolves and the sheep? |

I have given you my answer to this same question before. {Matthew 6:28} Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow {Seed} nor do they reap {The Harvest} nor gather {The Crops} into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them, Are you not worth, much more then they. Do you ever read my answers, or is the Word of God a joke to you? I have repeated this as well in the past, "In Israel the Jews don't pay tithes, and yet you pay tithes under law "Moses law?

Do I have to repeat this, everyone knows through the Word, Jesus was under the law, but your understanding of {Matthew 23:23} as tithing Christians this scripture is used to lie against the truth. Plus {Mark 12:17} and this is another scripture being used out of place, just for the tithers greed. If only you read the Word of God equally, instead relying on just one. It makes life difficult for you, that you have many members on the same page, I understand why none of you learn anything-your job is simple, by the push of a button your page is solved. I don't believe you are saved-one of your members is a JW. {Galatians 2:21, 5:4} For righteousness comes through the law, Christ died in vain-You have become estrangled from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by the law, you have falling from grace. |

Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 12:40am On Nov 20, 2017 |
Call it as you like "insulting" The problem is "No one likes to hear the truth, and it's the Word of God, that brings the truth to them. {Matthew 22:21} you are flying with the fairy's with this verse, you are way out of context. This verse is about ownership and image-Caesar's image, and God's image, it has nothing to do with tithing or giving back money. It's about ownership, and it go's like this, {Give back to Caesar, what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God} This is not about money, this verse is about image and ownership, who's image is describe on the coin "Caesars" who owns the coin "Caesar" give it back to him, and who's the image of God, we are His image, God created us, He owns us-give ourselves back to God.

Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 12:43am On Nov 23, 2017 |
So you are allowing the bible speak for itself-and then you decide to add and remove the written Word of God, you claim in your bible it actually say's Caesar demands taxes, and Jesus demands tithes and offerings? Typical, it's easy for you to add and remove words, when it isn't scriptural to do so, it's a common thing with Catholic's. The bible is speaking to those who are hearing, and you aren't hearing.. {Matthew 22:17-22} Tell us therefore what do you think, is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? And Jesus perceived there wickedness, and said: why do you test Me, you hypocrites? Show Me the tax money." So they brought to Him a denarius. And He said to them, whose IMAGE and INSCRIPTION is this? And they said to Him Caesar's. And He said: to them render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's {The coin} and to God, the things that are God's {The people} When they heard this they walked away. Like you said: let the bible speak for itself... petra1: |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by petra1(m): 1:07am On Nov 23, 2017 |
brocab: Did he say people ? He said “THINGS” that belong to God . Which are tithes and offerings .let me show it to you in other translation bro. Matthew 22:21 (HCSB Free) 21 “Caesar’s,” they said to Him. Then He said to them, “Therefore give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Mark 12:17 (WNT) 17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him. What do you pay to God ? Tithes |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 3:22am On Nov 23, 2017 |
You can find as many ways as you choose to solve your argument, again not even in these verses from different bibles, have anything to do with taxes, tithes and offerings. It's about images and description, Give the things back to Caesar and the things back to God. Things is a go between, and still you haven't got any evidence "Things" is the answer to the scripture. It doesn't matter which way you look at it, If you are not willing to give your "things" over to God, learning and spending much of your time studying the Word of God, you aren't giving to God at all. I suppose being part of an organisation that loved money from the beginning of time, then the things of money will fall under the purgatory tithes and offerings act. petra1: |

Pray for our nations, that someday, everybody will turn from their evil ways and worship the only true God-Jesus Christ is Lord. Pray for our Church that the Lord will help us to seek after the kingdom of God, pray for us-the Lord will give us wisdom and knowledge how to recognise the truth, Pray for those who have been taught the unscripted tithing message.. Pray for the lost in Church and out on the streets, Pray for those who are hungry spiritually and fleshly, Pray for those who are thirsty, poor and in need, that the Lord will give the Christians strength to seek after them, find them, love them, and teach them the Word of God. Pray for me, and you and everybody, that God will choose each and everyone of us, when He returns, that we will enter into His kingdom and glory forever and evermore.. |

DAILY ⓂANNA THURSDAY APRIL 26, 2018 ICED! TEXT: MARK 12:35-44 "And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury" (Mark 12:42,43). In recent times, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have been at the head of an unusual campaign. They rank among the richest people in the world pushing to get the world's super-rich to donate a good part of their wealth to tackle social, political and economic challenges in the world. They have given and are committed to giving more in support of some worthy projects around the world. Commendably, over 40 billionaires and multi-millionaires have joined this mega-giving wagon. The big givers' details can be found in the World's Top Givers list which is reviewed annually. Were such list to have been compiled when Christ was on earth, this widow's name would not have been captured. As offerings were being cast into the treasury, the rich gave out of their abundance and perhaps prided themselves as best givers in the fellowship. But Christ noticed this poor widow throw in just two mites and yet adjudged her the best giver. Jesus did not judge the greatness of her gift by the value but rather by the sincerity, sacrifice and heart of gratitude that went with it. Others gave out of their surplus while she did out of her poverty mixed with faith, as she gave all her living. We can therefore say certainly that in addition to the commendation she got from the Lord, she definitely did not die of hunger afterwards. God is interested in our giving, no matter how small, especially for the furtherance of the gospel. What matters is not how much you give, but how much you keep. Do you keep so much to yourself and give only 'a peanut' to your Maker? The Lord still observes the motive and attitude of our giving today. How much do you really give in proportion to your God-given wealth? ✍Thought for the day: "God measures the quality of our giving by how much we keep back." COVER TO COVER: PSALM 73, 77-78.

OLAADEGBU: 1. NONE of these men have been able to show us where the APOSTLES who were the PIONEERS of the Church ever PRESCRIBED tithing for the Christian even where there were numerous references to and PRESCRIPTION for giving by the Apostles. 2. The book of Hebrews NOWHERE asked the Christian to tithe. What the book shows is the SUPERIORITY of Jesus' person and priesthood over every other. Tying this to the necessity for the Christian to tithe is at best very mischievous and can even be termed outright demonic. There is NO INSTRUCTION or COMMAND to the Christian to tithe in the book of Hebrews: NONE! 3. If Acts 15 does not make a statement to these 'men of God' then they are the ones who "make (people) twice as much a child of hell as (they) are." 2 Likes |

It's interesting to note that going by Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29, God never asked for tithes to be paid monetarily (i.e. gold, silver or any other form of money)... Certain Pastorpreneurs have twisted the scriptures to claim tithes are to be paid monetarily. Well, I'd be happy for them to explain what the Israelites used to create the golden calf...and why God didn't request for gold as part of the items to be tithed.

Re: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 3:09am On Jun 09, 2018 |
We have all read, not all the Jews gave tithes back then, it was mainly the farmers that gave 23% of their yearly takes, but in these last day's all the Christians claiming to be Jews pay tithes around the world! Sadly this argument will continual as long as it takes, I always believed tithing had separated the Christian belief, but without realising it at first, I found most tithers don't believe to be Christian, but Jews obeying the Mosaic law, "nothing more! I remember the days talking with many tithers they actually believe they are Jews, so when I look into the Old testament, it is Old Testament Jews that tithed-when searching the scriptures, Jesus was under the law but He didn't tithe, nor did His disciples, no-body tithed under Christ. {Matthew 23:23} “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. The above scripture tells us the Pharisees had one foot in God and the other foot in riches "In other words, nothing had changed, tithers serve God and serve riches at the same time. I suppose the golden calf story, is Jesus telling us-we can't worship Mammon and God at the same time, we will either love the "ONE" and hate the other. OkaiCorne: |

DAILY ⓂANNA TUESDAY JULY 10, 2018 DOWN TO THE LAST PENNY TEXT: 1 KINGS 17:8-16 KEY VERSE: "And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die" (1 Kings 17:12). It is easy to be generous when things are going well and there is enough to spare. Anyone who makes a request at such time may be fortunate to have it granted. But when things become tough, doing good is hardly considered by most people because the human nature is prone to be concerned with oneself and not others. The case of the widow under our textual glare was even worse. Apart from being a widow, there was national economic crisis; with no hope of getting support from anyone. She and her son were at their wit's end. She was getting ready for the worst - eat the last meal and wait for death. It was at this time that Elijah appeared and made a demand on her already strained and spent resource. But this hard request brought breakthrough for the woman. Sometimes, the finite, human nature thinks God is inconsiderate when He makes demands during hard times. Some think sincere pastors and prophets are insensitive to their members' plight when they demand support for the work of God. So, they prefer to wait until a favourable time before they can support God's work. This is unbelief. Real faith and love for God is demonstrated when we are willing to give to God even in difficult situations. He must always be considered first before our personal needs. This act of faith is vital for breakthrough. Our obedience to God must be primary. Our giving to Him must be accorded the highest priority. Our service and devotion to His cause must be uppermost because whatsoever we possess comes from Him. ✍Thought for the day: "Radical faith gets radical results." COVER to COVER: Isaiah 5-8.

DAILY ⓂANNA MONDAY SEPTEMBER 03, 2018 AND THEY SHALL BE MINE TEXT: NUMBERS 18:8-19 KEY VERSE: "Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine" (Numbers 18:14). God calls His children to be His representatives on earth by reflecting His light and glory. Every child of God therefore represents Him on earth as His minister and ambassador, living a holy life in His likeness. Aaron and his entire household were called to minister unto the Lord in the sanctuary. Because of this calling "by reason of the anointing" (Numbers 18:8), they were given the responsibility of taking care of the things of the Lord, which included things offered unto the Lord and the proper conduct of the people in His presence. Aaron and his sons and daughters were to eat and live of the things offered unto the Lord, a sign of not only being members of God's family, but also an indication of occupying distinguished positions of reverence. Every believer is a special treasure unto the Lord. Such a Christian is a vessel unto honour. This honour is not by virtue of belonging to a particular local church or family where one's father is a pastor. However esteemed among men, we are to live holily, serve and represent the Lord with our lives, recover souls from the world and its sinful pleasures. There are rewards for holy and faithful saints: "And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him" (Malachi 3:17).

The director called her and said that their operations in Cameroon were not going as planned so they would have to pay them off. When she was paid off, the first thing she did was to set aside the tithe before thinking of what to do. A few weeks later, the same director called her back. He said that although they were leaving the country, they would still maintain a presence in Cameroon. They laid off other staff but kept her to take charge of the office. God's command on tithing is for all to obey irrespective of our status. If we are to enjoy the blessings of God in our lives as youth we too must obey in tithing, no matter how little it is. The Bible says, "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much" Tithe is an expression of faith toward God. Prove God and you will be blessed in your finances and other areas. • Challenge: "Obedience brings a blessing." • Prayer: "Lord, give me the grace to tithe." • Quote: "Tithe is an expression of faith toward God." • Bible Reading in one Year: Deuteronomy 28:1-3 See more here: |
