It doesn't matter how good you felt or how good your deed was. God's instruction must be carried out God's way.
Paying of TITHE is God's instruction and He specified how and where it should be paid Malicah 3:8
Also read the story of King Saul when God asked him to utterly destroy the Amalak. He did but spared the King. He got punished.
You can give arm to the poor, not Tithe and offering.

Reference:


No sir. That is simplistic thinking. If all the substance of the world were shared evenly within a short while it will become exactly the way it is today because we donot have the same heads and hearts. Sin is the primary reason why there is lack on one hand and greed on the other. Money cannot overcome sin or buy righteousness. That is why even Jesus said, the poor will always be amongst you.

So while it is good to care for physical needs, the spiritual roots have to be addressed by the preaching of the good news. That is why substance in God's house is critical and compulsory.


Go and get the real and deeper meaning of what Jesus Christ meant when he said



"The poor you would also have among you"..

And who says the gospel cannot be propagated without money? Maybe the gospels that Nigerian pa$$tors peddle but I bet
you not the true gospel.

And you are worshipping the wrong God. The true God provides all our needs according to the riches of His glory. He is our father. If the birds of the air need not worry about food and those flowers how the are beautifully sheltered, how can we who are His children worry about our common needs.

Does your earthly father charge you some percentage before providing for you? Don't be a fool! God does not love less and cannot be compared to your biological father in loving His children. God loves and provide for us unconditionally. Only an idiot thinks he can buy a blessing.

better go back to the beggar, get your money back and give the pastor so that there may be "meat" and he can pour out his blessings so big that you won't have space to contain them, hell awaits you if you don't do like I instructed

Unless you are in a yahoo yahoo church. Your Tithe is used to Expand , Promote and propagate The GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

It baffles me to c learned people ( even prof, elders) and youth with no proper functioning brain. As far as I am not comfortable with the method of paying(I.e to the church), are the tithe monitored to know if they serve d purpose they are meant for after paying.
No, what you hear is leave that to God to judge but you can spew trash from your mouth to judge someone who decided to put a smile on a poor. If we all do like OP, I bet you..Nigeria will compete with Saudi Arabia where people hardly steal.

I disagree because then you will be serving Nigeria as your god.

He did good but he did it the wrong way that could cause him big spiritual issues if he continues. are even aware that some beggers are cursed?

U were wrong. You are to bring your tithe to God's storehouse. The bible said so, except u dnt believe in it. The bible is a book of principles u need to understand that. You can give to the poor but ur tithe belongs to God's storehouse(the church). As long as it's a church of God. Whatever is done with it is no business of urs. Ur duty is to obey God, u dnt knw better than Him, He created u.

It's Wonderful to give to the poor... INFACT the Bible specifically talks about dt.

But Your Tithe is not a gift. Neither is it your money. Your Tithe is GOD's SHARE of your Money. And He Directs where it should be taken to. See Malachi 3:10

And tithe in the present dispensation is robbery. The New Testament in Hebrew, read from Chapter 7-8 specifically traced the origin of tithe to Abraham giving it to Melchizedec and also tied it to the law and then succintly states that the law was nailed on the cross with Christ. With Christ came the new Covenant which enjoins us to give as we are blessed, not out of compulsion (which tithe is), nor grudgingly nor sparingly for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Ask yourself, why didn't Apostle Paul in all his epistles never mentioned tithe payment? How about Peter, Timothy, even Christ himself? Simple, tithe has been annulled. All through the New testament, where was tithe mentioned and in connection to what? Why do people always run back to Old testament to back up tithe payment when Christ has already fulfill the law and gave us Grace? If you pay the tithe which is part of the levitical issues, why not also use doves, rams or blood of animal for the remission of your sins?
Why claim Christ's grace while also claiming the law's tithe?
Tithe in this dispensation of grace when Christ has already fulfill the law is robbery.

[s]To be frank with you bro, you are still owing God your tithe.[/s] What you have just done is give help to the poor.

Like someone mentioned God specifically stated where the tithe should be brought to the the reason why

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:10

Also mind you, there's a reward for giving to the poor which is different from that when you pay your tithe.

You should go pay your tithe bro
You can't say he's owing God… are you God's secretary undecided
How sure are you, you're paying yours or taking it to right place.

PatriotTemidayo:

See how convenient it is for you to dodge the point.
My question is simple, "WHAT DO YOUR CHURCH OR PASTOR DO WITH OFFERINGS AND OTHER COLLECTION?".

Do they throw the offering into the dust bin, if not, can't that also propagate the gospel......

And i see ignorance in your quest to prove that tithe is mandatory, I am Christian like you but I know that Jesus never forced any to pay tithe. As a matter of fact, he doesn't ask for offering self.
When Judas wanted to create a purse to keep money, can you remember what Jesus told him? If you do, am sure you can tell that is the reason Pastor want to kill themselves preaching about tithe and offering too violently.

Go back to the bible, deut., Leviticus and even the Malachi that gullible followers have been brainwashed with and read it deeply to understand for whom and what tithe is meant for.
Tithe doesn't determine heaven, Infact, it doesn't determine whether you're blessed or not, if you don't observe other rules, tithe is a waste.

Suffice to say that Malachi says ".......so there may be food in my house", how does that sound like powering the gospel........

Ignorant rant!

What are you angry about. Christianity does not force anyone to do anything. The fact that you are angry shows there is a problem. Who are you fighting with. We are trying to gain understanding by explaining what we know of the gospel. If you don't tithe it does not make you better or worse that those who do.

Bring the tithe into my house so that there may be food (in my house). Try me in this says God whether I will not open the windows of heaven.

Someone is saying foodstuffs. I am asking, where are the windows of heaven located. On the top floor or ground floor.... are they casement windows or louvred windows..... all these are figurative texts to explain a detailed process. The bible has its language. You have to be familiar with it to understand.

[ May Almighty God In Heaven bless you more,
You don't have to give your tithe to ur church if you have people around you hungry,
Though some good churches use to tithe to feed the poor, old people, and widows too.
What's impt is to bless someone too from your income aside your family members. quote author=mdokaba1 post=61202480]It was a very stressful week for me as it involved lots of travels and all. So its a Saturday and I was paid for a project I did for the month past.

Going by my tired nature, I knew deep down me that there was no way I could have made it to church the next day and I was hell bent on paying my tithe because of the inherent blessings therein and the last thing on my mind would be to give it to my nebor to pay it for me. (The guy broke and besides I didn't want him to start calculating my take-home (Na sharp man). And I knew deep down that if I keep the money till the next time I would be in church, I was sure I would spend it. (God have mercy on me sha)

So I decided even before getting home to package my tithe and while in the market on a shopping spree I package my tithe and dropped it in the plate of an old beggar. (A mulsim beggar precisely)

Instantly, I saw 50 shades of shocks on her face as she looked at me for a few seconds and I could read her facials more like "For this Buharia?" Lols. And before I disappeared into the crowd, I could see/read her lips mutter prayers pointing towards me. And deep down, I felt blessed and fulfilled.

But was I wrong to have given my 10percent to a beggar instead of to the alter?

Opinions please.
