If you believe in paying tithe, do you have any motive for paying or just following the biblical instruction. Also
1. Do you attach any request from God or you just believe the blessing therein will be yours by faith
2. Do you make it up if you did not pay any previous month.

P.S. - Tithe paying believer comments ONLY. Thanks

I believed in it and I paid before. Then I stopped believing in it and refused to pay. Guess what? I have never seen any changes in anything. I progress gradually just as it used to be when I was paying. Though I still pay some kinds of money in church these days, even sometimes if what I pay is 10 percent of my income, I will never call it tithe.

As for the motive? Look at it this way; I attend my church every time I have to be there and these are the things I enjoy:
1. The church runs on generator for power all the times, and this cost money.
2. It costs money to get the church premises cleaned all the time.
3. It costs money to maintain a lot of gadgets in the church
4. It costs money to pay salaries to those who work at the church, e.g. the guy who plays the keyboard and the priests.
5. It costs money to do a little charity work.

These are my motives for paying some money at church.

Now, I do not see my God as a money doubler!

xactly

To receive another in multiple folds.

I don't pay tithe...offering and seed sowing are my things.

I want more blessings from God....

first page thinz nooni

No matter rich I get, will never get fool by this thief calling themselves man of God..... I think highest offering anyone can get from me is either 5 naira or no more.

What other motive than in obedience to God' word. If U say U are a christian its nt a pastor' preaching dat makes U pay tithe. "Shall a man rub God?..."

Tithe this.... Tithe that every time dnt let it tk u 2 hell @op.

How on earth did this thread made it to front page

tithe is good but how many christian is truly giving 1/10th of their income?
just give freely and God will bless you abundantly

I don't

liyalla: What other motive than in obedient to God' word. If U say U are a christian its nt a pastor' preaching dat makes U pay tithe. "Shall a man rub God?..."

Ofcourse not! Who are we to rub God

As far as I am concern, tithing is all about giving to God according to ur level of faith. It's like casting ur bread upon many waters and not about giving to God inorder to insure your life.

Young man.. Fear God!
Btw, u dont "pay your tithe later".. u dont owe God his Ten percent. If God should 'owe' you, you'd spend ur entire life in misery.
If you are for God you wont even be asking smtin diz senseless just to brew an argument.

it is a command by GOD and if u abide by it,u will eat d fruit of it

same thing 2 sowing

I'm still a student and i don't fancy paying tithes. But if you check my life, i'm better than some people who do.

.....if i ll nt open u d windows of heaven, nd pour u out a blesn, dt there shal nt b room en0ugh 2 receive it.
I so much blv in dz, dat's Y am paying my tithe

Truely, I say to you
yo have seen God and have obeyed his commandments
and are indeed blessed for having such an understanding

...shalom

The promise of God in Malachi 3:1o .

When you pay your tithe it unlocks the gates of financial prosperity.

Paying of tithe is a commandment from God. Malachi 3:10.

When you pay your tithes it unlocks the gates of financial prosperity in your righteous labour not 419. Please you cant rob a man to pay your tithes. You are wasting your time.

Wow!!! Guess i thought hard before creating the topic

as said earlier... "Paying believer comments ONLY". God bless

you are worst than me

There is a scheme going round, whereby some smart people fool others to part with their hard-earned money so these smart people can enrich their pockets.

I hear they call it tithing.

For those of u saying a pastor cannot force u to pay tithe,read malachi 3vs8 and u will understand the reason for tithe paying.

Whether you pay or not is of little consequence in the long run. Your life will not be any different. What is yours will come to you. The things that are not yours you will never get even if you pay 90% of your income. And please you are not "giving money to God," or "sowing a seed." Don't be a fool.

it is very disheartening to see Christians talk abt tithe like this...I believe if you truely have a relationship with God,you'll obey His commandments nd do as He said in Malachi. you should also note something,if you're giving in d house you're giving for d work of God,even though d money is siphoned into d wrong pocket,God sees your heart nd He will bless you.You're paying tithe to get full delivery of your blessings in Christ Jesus,you're setting in motion d riches 'which u already have by faith ...it is simple,just obey.plzzzz
