10 notes from an unusual
sermon on Giving by this Abuja
Pastor

Pastor Sunday Ogidigbo, preached about giving today in a
serial message titled Wisdom for 2016 , the Pastor of the
HolyHill Church based in Abuja delivered a profound
teaching on the subject of giving.
Touching the subject of giving, the Pastor made a
noteworthy remark, which may find hard for many to
chew, he said that ‘it is better to give to the Poor than to
give to your Pastor’. He also condemned those who give
to others before taking care of family, describing it as an
act of folly. Find below excepts from the sermon:

1. “The best time to give is when you don’t have”
“Giving MUST begin at home”

2. It is easier to give to strangers. Some people
spend all their salaries to impress others
outside

3. If you’re rich and they can’t see the signs on
your family, you’re a fool. How can you have
relatives, you have money and you don’t
give? Break the bank while your relatives are
alive. Charity begins at home

4. Giving to people who cannot give you back, is a
very fertile ground

5. The attitude with which you give is as important
as the gift you give. Give cheerfully

6. If you go to church & they say empty your
pocket, don’t do it. Nobody should manipulate
you into giving. Give with a conviction. In giving,
be systematic. Don’t be irrational

7. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,
for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares ~ Heb.13v2. Don’t let bad
testimonials of encounters with strangers scare
you from being kind to strangers ~

8. It is better to give to the poor than to your
pastor

9. In giving to even your family, give what you can
give while you build your capacity. 2 people in a
well can’t help themselves

10. Be grateful that you can give. Your seed will
speak for you in the day of trouble

Pastor Sunday Ogidigbo is the Senior Pastor of HolyHill
Church out of Wuse II in Abuja.

I admire the pastor for being courageous enough to say this. But the best form of giving is to give according to leading of the spirit

100% better.. I don't understand how we have something to give away, we give it to people who already have it even more than we do instead of people who do not have it at all..

why should one buy a jeep for a MOG with 4 private jets when there are people such amount can change their lives for good..

If your pastor or GO is richer than the people he pastors, ask yourselves; "Is he here to help us or are we the one here to help him...?"

The pastors go around preaching abandonment of earthly riches and stashing up riches in heaven at the same time they are stinking rich here on earth, isn't it time to wonder if they really believe what they preach?

This pastor is highly commendable.. #Respect!!

God or Jesus do not see us as slaves but as their beloved children. It's the islamic deity that sees it's adherents as slaves.

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. grin

Lying to cover your own God's Ass and accuse the other drunk God..(Islamic God).. thats not working bro..

The word "douloo" translated to mean slave in Greek is most often used in a metamophorical sense in the new testament to mean giving yourself wholly to one's service. Indeed we are no slaves in the literal sense. We are children of God.
