PierreDeFermath:
since you have been paying your tithe,where are you in your life,are you as rich as Dangote or Otedola? let them keep lying to you,do you follow Otedola to church to know if he pays his tithe? the problem is that most Nigerians have very low IQ and most pastors are smarter and using that to take advantage of you. In America that people are not foolish to be pouring their money on tithe,are they not far richer than Nigerians? they have more than 100 billionaires,Nigeria has just 4 upon all the tithing. people are wallowing in poverty and Nigeria remains the poorest country in the works upon all the yeye tithing. and who told you Dangote is a Christian for him to be paying tithe? its totally against his religion. there is no scam in Islam,tithing is capital scam. people are paying it and keep getting poorer.

Yameater:

I go eat your yam clean mouth

biacan:
Freeze see what you've caused

QueenSharon:


: Buying things for the less privilege is not tithe.

God demanded that you bring your tithe into his House; it is not for the less privilege.

Please note that you can give to the less privilege, but it shouldn't be your tithe.

Thank you

see this efool talking about intelligence. Do you know what I meant by left quadrant. You either pay tithe or give to charity or both. It depends on your belief but that you will not do any means you want to remain on that side. I mentioned dangote because I know he is giving to chairty. Freeze has been against tithing but hasn't given his option. the ones paying and getting poorer are not doing the other things required by money i.e saving or investing. There are three basic principles in making money. You make your money work for you and not you work for money. Save, invest and tithing/charity. If one is lacking, you might be struggling. Thats my point. Engage a wealthy person to know more. As for where I am, remember I said there are many people this thing is working for that we don't know. Freeze is an employee/ self paid. He has remained there a long time. Until he moves to the right quadrant i.e businesses owner/investor, don't ever take him seriously. Is it not same freeze a woman alleged duped her of 500k last year December. Keep following a fool!

Ken4Christ:
Those who complain about tithe are either not genuinely born again or are overly stingy.

The tax we pay to government is far above 10% and we don't complain.

When lawyers or estate agent get a property for you, you pay about 10% for service rendered and people hardly complain.

When 'agberos' put passengers in buses and taxis, they collect their commissions even before they take off. Yet, we don't complain.

Hear are Pastors guiding you in the way of life and teaching you how to live a victorious life and some people begin to complain about 10%.

If not for some ministers, there are countless thousands of souls that will end up in hell. Will your billions bring you out of hell if you end up there?

Our Lord Jesus teaching even demands more commitment than tithing. He demands all even liquidating your properties to give. Will you say Jesus was insane?

Tithing is even for spiritual babies. Those who are mature in ministry sacrifice even up to 50% of their income for the gospel sake and there is no regret.

The money you are holding back cannot buy your salvation.

What should be addressed is not the payment of tithe but that the funds gotten should be properly administered to also care for the poor in their midst and advance the course of the gospel.

you can crucify the messenger how you like but not the message. what evidence does that woman have that he duped her? talk about charity,charity is really nice,every successful people do it but if charity is done in place of tithing in this country,the country wouldnt remain the way it is. Tithe is a scam. or you are going to tell me in this 2017 you don't know that the reason why most pastors open churches is for tithes? most guys that want quick riches that I know to be bad guys are now becoming pastors. there are 2 pastors that live in my house alone and we are not much in the house. it's just too mainstream,everybody wants to be pastor. I have an elderly friend who is an agent,he tells me often about the number of people that come to him trying to rent shops and start their church,it has gotten to that,some start with trampoline,some start with binding rusted roofing sheets together,churches are just too much,everybody is paying tithe and majority are still poor. Africans just need to think. those business men you know and think tithing is working for are close to their pastors because pastors are jaz for them for progress in their businesses . it has turned to that now,you see pastors pray for them in public but do jazz for them in private. we know how it goes joor. those rich men would surely pay their tithe. you would think it's the tithe that's working for them but its actually the jaz. My guy,no dey dull,jara e.

you have experience with bad pastors. Does it mean every pastor is a thief. We should us our senses here. Because there are pastors that are fake doesn't mean every pastor is fake and does not cancel the place of tithing in wealth principle. In one of Kiyoshaki's message he said it clear, tithe or give to charity. Go through biographies of renowned millionaires. It's either they are tithing or to charity. The fact that there are fake pastors does not annul it's place. Do you know there are fake charity organisations. Do you know some NGOs are fraud, do you know some charity organisations are just there to commit crime. So these things will always exist. The reason why your likes are talking this way is because it is religion. It's for us to use our wisdom but saying tithing is wrong is a very foolish thing to say!

guy,charity I meant is not all about just giving money anyhow to NGO's. what happens to giving out scholarship s directly,paying school fees of poor children,donating money and food items to IDP camps,going to hospitals around and just paying hospital bills for the poorest people there. that's the type of charity I meant bro and not feeding already well fed pastors that are even richer than the person that's feeding them. why do you think Bill and Melinda gates foundation is where many billionaires in America donate money to? because they're well trusted. there are several criteria for registering NGO and it can be sanctioned and sued if there us any misappropriation but there is nothing of such for a church,only a fool would just be throwing his hard earned money to church in the name of tithing when therebis no regulation or body controlling it and we all know what man can do when it comes to money. So,charity and giving is what most billionaires in America do and not tithing.

PierreDeFermath:
........Kiyoshaki was referring to churches of those days and churches that are really serving God and changing lives and not Nigerian churches of today o. most Nigerian churches tithe won't work cos all your money will go to olosho,private jet,Rolls Royce's,etc,its rather placing curses on oneself instead of prayers but for charity,a lot of people's lives will be changed and they will pray for you.

The Catholic Church is one of the richest and most corrupt institutions in the world.
If you know what goes down there, you won't call them innocent.
It has total assets of over $8 billion dollars. They still collect different types of offerings and levies.

I am a Christian and I personally think Christianity is a spiritual walk with God, it's not about what society perceives or what the prophets or pastors do.

I will give my tithe and give to the needy when i can.

Let God be the judge.

Yameater:

I knew it. People sha!!!!!!
They can be so JEALOUS of you when you make progress

Ubenedictus:
lol it is also the biggest charitable organization in the whole world and the largest provider of education, health care etc. it also has the biggest network of missionaries who are present even in the most dangerous areas on earth. at least we see that money spent well.


add that to the fact that the Catholic Church is over 1.5 billion strong in number which means a Catholic only contributes an average of $8 to the Church... she doesn't extort members and make sure their contributions go into charity

If your line of defense on tithing is Abraham paying 10% of war proceeding to a higher priest, Malachi 3:10 and you call yourself a learned or educated fellow then it is either you are bias, sentimental or a disgrace to ur qualification, because ur education is not fulfilling it's purpose. It is just simple as supporting bad cuz u found yourself in it and don't want to accept you are wrong. That I call pride, u don't need to twist those verses.
I see people giving instance that those against tithe are poor cuz the rich don't complain. Does that mean whatever the rich do is Right meaning they can't be wrong? or does having money equate to intelligence. Most millionaire/billionaire in Nigeria are just fortunate(connection, lucky etc) and it is just few among them that acquired their wealth legally.
If you say it is their tithe that is keeping them rich, why do we still have poor tithe paying xtian.
Believe it or not tithe is a scam, help people with your money and see our society better.
If you need money for church project or expansion, ask for offering or donation and make sure it is well documented.

You know most of you are very funny. Do you think making money is easy? That most rich people in Nigeria are fortunate. I really laugh. Intelligence has nothing to do with making money, there are so many intelligent people that are poor and miserable.

The fact still remains that 1 million freezes can never stop people from paying Tithe. Tithe is sacred, it is God's money, it is not pastors money. When I pay my tithe, I do it in honour, respect and fear of God. See I was never a tithe payer before, I may give to people but I never took tithe serious, those period I made quite some substantial money, lost a lot millions in investments that went down the drain. Then it later dawned on me that I never Honoured God with my finances. Infact now if I make money, I don't even touch it till I have removed the Lords tithe, and pay it to my local church where I go and feed God's word every Sunday.

I still take care of the needy, poor, even my relatives. I am setting up a foundation that will focus on scholarships for the children of the poor(many poor kids do not have acess to quality education) I see that needs. doing projects like tap water for poor communities.

I am involved in the prisons, infact I go to the prisons once every month, and one thing I discovered from going to the prisons is that all these big Churches you people insult are doing great works there. And I mean very great works that requires huge capital. Anyday you visit our prisons and see the kind of suffering there, many there falsely accused, sickly, no food. It is still these churches that send lawyers, doctors, medicines, food supply, educationists there. And you think that God in heaven doesn't see all these good works they are doing.

And still all these things doent stop me from paying my tithe because it is the Lords money, it belongs to God.

Oh you are even people from that side.... hissssssdd
