This Sunday in Church , take your 'Tithes' and Offerings to Church. When the service gets to the Malachi 3 session, look for anyone around you who has real needs, and give your tithes and offerings to them. Better still ask the ushers or pastors to ask the following people to come forward : - Mothers who do not know where the next meal for the family will come from - Fathers who have lost their Jobs - Widows who have no husbands - Orphans who have no parents. - Students who are barely eating talk less of paying school fees - Those who wear rags or who have no shoes - the homeless and destitute. Do not give it to the ushers or take it to the front of the church , give it to these people, these are GOD's children who have real needs, yes, they are the ones who need your money, your spare clothes and shoes, extra cars etc. I repeat, do not give a dime to your church or pastor and let us see how they will react !!!! 82 Likes |

Crap! God did not say you should give your TITHE (God's 1/10th demand) to the poor... If you want to give to the poor, c'mon, you can even give your FULL salary after paying the tithe to the church.. You can get a big loan and give to the poor, NO ONE will stop you.. And only a f00l will practise that which you suggested... You don't need to show the whole congregation what you want to give.... Invite them to your house, pack your belongings and money and properties for them BUT Your tithe is for God! Try and change his order by trying to use your "professor wisdom" and you're doomed... If God wanted us to do that, he'd have given us the commandment! These things have been written before our greatgrandfathers were born and you can not change it with your JET age 21st century terrestial sense... 58 Likes 1 Share |

davidylan: The tithe is for him! Alone? Ask your Pastor i/c. He's God's sheperd on earth. If God wanted you to control "tithes" and decide who to give, he would have made you a PASTOR! If I am a poor man & you come to me saying, THIS IS MY TITHE for this month, take it and feed yourself. I'm sorry but I won't take it.. and any wise christian would do the same by rejecting the money.. What point will anyone make of that? To put me under a curse? If u must give me, must you tag it tithe? Is that how you guys give? 14 Likes |

A close friend pays his tithes to a Pastor in Nigeria because the Pastor prayed for him 3 years ago before he got his visa. Basically, his tithe is a form of appreciation for prayer rendered on his behalf. When people fail to study the Bible, they get it all twisted! SMH I still tithe to the Church and do little charity as well. I don't think charity should replace tithing though Jesus was very particular about helping the poor/needy. 3 Likes |

[quote author=Acidosis]Crap! To whom did he say we should give it ? Better still , tell me what this means : "When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien ( immigrant ) , the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied." - [b]Deuteronomy 26:12[/b] If you want to give to the poor, c'mon, you can even give your FULL salary after paying the tithe to the church.. Ah okay , hmmm. Your tithe is for God! Try and change his order by trying to use your "professor wisdom" and you're doomed... So when the tithe is collected for GOD , what does he use it for. Does he use it to buy food and eat, or perhaps to buy the latest designer clothes from tejuosho market or even better build a house to live it ? Tell us, once all the tithes are collected , is it mailed to heaven, where does it really go to ? Do we the 'mumu' sheep not deserve to know where our hard earned cash goes to If God wanted us to do that, he'd have given us the commandment! Where is the commandment to tithe, engage your brain for a moment before you reply and don't start spouting brainwashed statements. 38 Likes |

If you cant give tithe and offering to your church and still give to the poor and needy then keep quiet. You have a problem. There are people who do it with ease.

On the brighter side of life....let's not mix tithing and offerings please. @ Frosbel that's very thoughtful of you, I have a sister who taught me just that, she would just give any given day. If we are to give can we not make it only on sundays? |

Okiki_Oluwa: After giving to the Church, one can just hope that the Church ll make good use of the tithe & offerings like using it for Church dev & giving to the needy... I dont give tithe because church said, but because its in the bible. Also I have the spirit of God and he has NEVER told me that i should not give my tithe. I dont need any frosbel or whosoever to give me any crap about tithe and offering. This is why every child of God must continually seek the Holy Spirit to dwell in him because he will guide you into all truth. Away with frosbel and his cohorts and their NONSENSE teachings.

frosbel: HumbledbYGrace: alexleo: @Frosbel, HumbledbYGrace, alexleo But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit. - Romans 7:6 NLT If the Wright brothers stuck to the old way of obeying the letter of the law of gravity and not taking advantage of a better and higher law, we would still be grounded We would not be, as now enjoying the release from that law, enjoying the benefits and be air bound 4 Likes |

amdatam: I always believe in giving to those in dire need directly , and probably through collections in church for a similar purpose. By default my position after so many years in the 'church' that man built , is to never agree to anything that has a compulsion to it as a matter of life or death. God is a loving GOD and he appreciates £1 from the heart more than £1000 from a grudging heart or a heart made to pay because it is compulsory or worse still , because we want him to double our money. 5 Likes |

frosbel: @frosbel It is exhilarating reading John 4:24 embraced and it is true the old law was a stepping stone, a means to an end, as it were and not an end in itself Also, fact of the matter is, we have different capabilities and so the £1 or £1000 denomination money in your post has more to it Someone turning £1 over, 1000 times gets £1000 Another turning £1000 over, 1 time, gets £1000 Now except for the FREQUENCY, that another £1000 giving, 1 time is no different to someone's £1s giving, 1000 times |

Pls sir where did God command the jews to give tithe to the levites WIDOWS, ORPHANS and the STRANGERS. Now that we dont have levites again, so those practicing judaism should give tithes to only the widows, orphans and strangers? What about the pastors that collect tithes and eat alone without giving to the widows, orphans and strangers, will God purnish them for the double sin? because as christians, they are not supposed to collect tithes. Now sir dont mind the ignorant sheeps shouting blue murder for ur effort to show them light 4 they do not know what they are saying for the law they are trying to obey says - the tither should divide his tithe among the levites (no longer applicable) the widows, orphans and strangers, the law never said take all the tithes and give to one group of persons (levites). I tink una want practice LAW? Una want practice judaism in christianity, una go know say khaki no b leather, its a pity. 11 Likes |

Goshen360: Still jogging and warming up at the sideline....waiting to set the tithe captives free.... God Bless you. 100,000 likes. Let me fully quote your last reference to scripture. 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ - Matthew 25:37-4 So we actually do it to him when we do it to the brethren who are in need, sick, hungry , thirsty or in prison and not for the building of massive mega temples, churches etc , funding pet projects and giving ONE MAN, the Lord Pastor the opportunity to live an exotic and expensive life style. 10 Likes |

Am not a bible scholar but of my own God given knowledge. The israelites were instructed to give the levites tithes cos the levites were the only tribe that was give the Job of taking care of the temple,and the box of testimony, they were only given that work no other work for them,they weren't asked to till the ground, so i think we should give our tithes to the church, but d bible says "whosoever doesn't say his/her tithes is robbing God." this is not telling not to help the needy, aren't the children of israel helping the needy? But they still give their tithe. So, we shouldn't mix vivid together wit offerings to the needy. U can always give to the needy as u ape empowered to give,but definately not from ur tithe. 3 Likes |
