[b]I was visiting a redeem church here in Texas on a thanksgiving day.....it was time to pay tithe. in an effort to get people to pay their tithe, the pastor decided to tell a story of testimony about a group of armed robbery victims....He said a large group was traveling from Lagos to a certain location. While in transit, they encountered a road block and stopped. Then a large group of armed robbers jumped out from the bushes and ran towards the bus shouting and shooting in the air. They then entered the bus and told everybody to get out of the bus and line up beside the bus. According to him, the armed robbers then asked the bus passengers"if you pay your tithe move to the left, if you dont pay tithe stay where you are." He said most people moved to the left but a handful stayed. Then the armed robbers looked at the people that did not moved to the left and told them"you that dont pay your tithe you are robbing God so we are going to rob you, but you that pay your tithe you are free to go." The armed robbers then robbed the none tithe paying group and ran back into the woods without taking anything from the tithe payers....

When i heard the story i was a little perplexed....how can armed robbers who took months in planing and gathering weapons and man power....ambush a bus only to ask them if they pay tithe?
What if everybody would have moved to the left what would have happened? they would just thank them and tell them sorry for the delay and leave?

anyways...has anyone heard the story or similar one before?[/b]

Na sunday sch?

That pastor must be a learner!

Yes I ve heard that story and also believe it is possible cos God works in mysterious ways that is why His ways are not our ways.

It isnt funny.its a big lie

I believe well well. I know the pastor didnt just frame that story up. Last year, when robbers came to a building close to mine, they were asking for tithe money. They said, pay your tithe, i know say una no they pay tithe for church. Like yesterday, i and a lady were discussing about tithing. She said about last three months, she just decide to start paying her tithe in round figure and last month, her boss made her salary a round figure.

(1)Offering.
there was this sunday morning service when a visiting pastor from other assembly came to our church. He was to collect an offering for the developement of the head quarter church. That day, he started his sermon/appease to the church members when he talked about his experience about a man in his church that the holy spirit ministered to to give the whole #100,000 he just collected as salary. The man felt reluctant initially but later resigned to fate and laid the money down as offering. The visiting pastor said before he got home, the man got an alert on his phone that #1million has been sent to his account from an anonymous.
In my mind, i said ha pastor, na me you dey bobo!



(2)LIFE PARTNER.
Our church is a lill bit developing church not like winners, redeem and deeper life.
That day when the pastor was preaching, he told us that it is better to marry someone from your church than marrying from another denomination. He cited an example of a lady that marry a man that always change to a cat in the night. All his emphasis was centered on the ladies and mild on guys.
In my mind, i knew the pastor knows that if the ladies marry from another denomination, that is good bye to the lady. But a guy marrying from another denomination brings the bride to the church and through that the church will be growing and not reducing. Pastor and overcrowding sha!



(3) HEALING
Our pastor talked about a lady that was sick and the lady had faith in the pastor telling the pastor to come and pray for her. Our pastor got there and asked if she had taken any drug, the lady answered no. Our pastor prayed for her and told her to eat and she ate rice and vegetable. Pastor said within 4hours, she was already fine and alive without taking any drug at all except his prayer.
In my mind i said ha pastor! Is vegetable not a drug? Why didn't she got healed immediately you prayed for her if it was your prayer that actually healed her.

So you don't know that some criminals go to church. Some evil people look for a channel to appease God for their evil. Some of them believe God should understand their actions were not intentional
Even in the Bible demons proclaimed that they knew Jesus and Paul.

mumumugu: It isnt funny.its a big lie

Your name says it all. You are what u answer

#Fake pastor stories

being ignorant does not give you the right to act stupid and be disrespectful. can you talk to your dad like this? i bet you do.

lecturerdabo: Yes I ve heard that story and also believe it is possible cos God works in mysterious ways that is why His ways are not our ways.

I'm actually laughing my a$$ off at this post.....

This churches and pastors image tanisher his here again....why can't you let pastors be for God sake? If you can't pay tithe, those who pay knows what they see in returns and don't complain...... You don't need to cook a story in other to tanish them...just come out straight and accuse them atleast nairaland is a free place to post accuse anyone even our president.

atleast he didnt threaten that your child will be run over by a vehicle if you dont pay your tithe...i mean why result to threats

Lmao. I Refuse to Comment

I have heard Pastors who told us a man came to revival 5ft 9 tall and he left 6ft 2

I have heard a pastor wanting to drink tea closed his eyes to pray and his tea became half full after opening his eyes when he wondered God told me "Didnt you invite me to come and join you"

Also Pastor who drove on empty tank for 300miles

Also a pastor who healed someone blind from birth as evidence they asked him what colour was this and he said BLUE. Question How can someone blind know Blue colour?

Moral: Don't be a learner

op why say stupid things,i believe you have your own opinion,why not keep it to urself than spew it out.#dumb#u irritating

Show a born again & I'll show you complete hypocrite. Mtcheeewww... Capitalizing on people's fear to milk them dry.

All na runz

They are not armed robbers, must be special task force of church members trying to enforce tithe paying

Only for naija.

clemmonce: being ignorant does not give you the right to act stupid and be disrespectful. can you talk to your dad like this? i bet you do.

What? Are you angry that you and your pastor's tithe fraud schemes are ridiculed?

I'm proud I pay my tithe! never begged bread from those who do not pay so why are they crying on my behalf?

mysticgal: op why say stupid things,i believe you have your own opinion,why not keep it to urself than spew it out.#dumb#u irritating

is everything ok with you? dont get mad at me...im just asking a question

In as much as some pastors may say series of stories to make u pay ur tithe aint sufficient for us to judge them. Let God b the judge

This is obviously a lie. . . . . The smart ones will see right through it. Next time try to make your lies seem a little bit realer, and not so comical. Honestly, no sane, right thinking [size=18pt] ADULT[/size], emphasis on adult, could cite such example. . . . Not because of the moral implications, but because it is utterly stup*d and highly unbelievable.

A girl got bitten by a cat in her dream and she died instantly!!....... I seriously wondered... Who did the girl tell?.... Pastors though!
