I don't really need to start explaining the importance of tithing.
Of course we all know paying tithe of every income is necessary but I attend a church where every tithe you pay is recorded in a tithe book with a your name boldly written on it .
The motive behind it is definitely not for show off but I don't feel convenient with the fact that the deacons who will count the money would know how much and how regularly I pay my tithe.
Secondly, we tithers are asked to come out every with our tithe book for prayers before dropping it in d tithe box. I feel shy doing that , especially when I think of those girls who will be like "hmmmm, haywire don dey pay tithe , d guy don get money b dat" .. I feel so inconvenient.
The truth is, I've been unable to pay my tithe for a while now, though the cash is intact .

Today is Sunday again and am still bothered.





Thanks

Na all this tithe cards that makes people to show avarice to paying of tithes! When the pastors are more interested in tithes than the Mission God has sent them for!

I personally won't collect that tithe card, it's between me and my God and no minister should chaperone me on it! Abi Pastor Don turn to God?

Tithe is the word of God, like every other law of God it's not a force to obey but a day of recompense for every action of man is coming!

If you like you pay your tithe if you like you do otherwise! God has the final say of Judgement!

Am sure it's RCCG, those brown envelopes with ur name, number and months of the year sef




Its not a one-man church . It has branches worldwide and am certain this tithes are used to pay the large number of pastors and missionaries in the field.
I don't have problem how the tithe is spent . I leave that to God .
My only problem is why do they have to keep records of how much I've been paying ?

I was born and brought up (growing) in the Catholic Church and I don't think its a must to pay tithe. Its not monitored and they don't preach much about it. One of the reasons why I love the church.

The special prayers for tithers made me stop tithing. Giving should not be broadcast no matter the name and purpose.

Though my church uses the tithe booklet you talked about, I dont bother taking it, I just put mine in an envelop and label it as tithe. My tithe is between me and God so why the record.

okoi001:



you are getting it wrong. Maybe you are just a christian for its sake. Read your bible well, get to know what it speaks about paying your tithe. Read the book of Malachi.
It is between you and God, not with your pastor. Be smart since you went to school.

As a faithful believer, it is mandatory u pay ur tithe...its a command attached with blessing....
don't deceive ursef, d money u giv to d poor and needy is absolutely different from tithe. Christ came and amended d ten commandments and he summarized it to two.....paying tithe symbolise ur tithe to God and giving to d poor and needy symbolise ur love 4 ur neighbour...
Nevertheless, d card is to checkmate u here so u won't default..... I avnt seen a pastor climb d pulpit and call tithe defaulters so dre is nothing wrong with d card.

Go and read the book of Debut 14:22-end. pastors only refer to Malachi 3:10, u can read all the verses of that Malachi chapter 3. I'm waiting for u.

Its not foursquare but one of the Pentecostal churches that has been in existence for ages . So u will understand that such practice has also been in existence as a doctrine . I was in fact born in the denomination but still I find it hard to agree with them about the tithe idea

udysweet:
I'm guessing its Foursquare? That's the one I know dey come out cos that's were I used to attend before?

worlexy:
Most of what is practised in churches today are not Biblical and non-Christlike. Tithe booklets are just there so that the pastors can monitor your "faithfulness" at paying your tithes. if what I give is between me and God, why should I be monitored by any pastors after all God loves a cheerful giver not those that are compelled to give by pastors chasing you around with Tithe booklets every Sunday or pastors always blackmailing you with Malachi 3:10. Malachi 3 is applicable to churches whom pastors aren't being paid salary by the church and pastors who are not busy buying exotic properties all over the place. The levites are the ones that ought to receive tithes on behalf of God cos even though they are part of Israel, they were not allowed to inherit piece of land in Israel hence there's no way they could farm and eat, their job is solely to serve God and they live within the temple, the only way God could bring food to their tables is to command other tribes of Israel to pay tithe so that his priests could eat( that is why Malachi 3 says bring all the tithes so that there can be FOOD in my house). But nowadays that pastors get paid, buy jets, build mansion, while the church members are impoverished, who should tithes be paid to? And what should tithes be used for? Is it even justifiable to pay tithes? There was mention of tithe in the new testament, mind you.
