So there's this issue argued over and over again bout receiving or asking for change when you drop your offering........ probably because you don't have much on you, like you have to transport home and you don't have change but you are keen on giving offering.

I just want to know your sincere thoughts on this please let's interact here and know something....i personally thinks it's not a bad thing but let's talk happy Sunday and happy New month to y'all


Use ur God given sense or use leg n trek home.

Haa! In this present dispensation? No wonder immorality is triumphing, and the fear of the Lord Jesus Christ is diminishing. Holiness and righteousness is now a shadow of itself. Disobedience and covetousness is now the oder of the day. My dear brother, do not be deceived. Why not repent and worship the LORD with your substance and see what he will do for you? Just follow me to (Ecclesiastes. 12 down) God bless you as you obey.

Are you for or against me

So what happens to a person who sows a seed offering, prayed and fasted on it for days or weeks and drops it in d offering bag/box hoping he has send the money on a mission only for it to be taken by someone else as change probably to buy chewing gum or to give conductor on his way back. How would you feel as d sower?

BTW can you present a money gift to ur boss in d office and right there in his front ask for change?

Brother if u respect God more than ur boss, you will run round and get change before dropping d offering.

What you've given, you've given! Keep your dignity and respect Gods integrity.
Why are u saying nonensense. You know the money is spent Abi?? They give someone in exchange for something else so if u put in 500 they will give the petrol station people to buy fuel for the church Gen Then the petrol station will use it as change for an Okada man. You understand the principle sha??

It shows a lack of class.
If you intend to give offering, get your change before coming to church.

It is called Offer=offering. It is your might. Even if it is just 5kobo only that is it. Collecting change is not a good idea. Perhaps, one must have prayed over it to wave off such unfortunate occuring in ones life. So collecting change is like taking shading off part of the blessing and benefits of the prayer. If one sees an homeless person or helpless kids on the street, and decided to give in appreciation to God almighty for not making such calamity befall one or ones relatives. Then collecting change back means WHAT?!!

How please. You just said it’s ones might. So if I have a 500 naira note and when I’m praying before the offering basket comes and I tell God that please accept my 450 and I collect the 50 naira back will he reduce my blessing??
Or is God interested in the 50 naira I removed??
Or does he use our amount of offering to calculate the blessing he will give us??
If you want to give 100 naira to a beggar and you only have a 200 naira note, do you walk past and not give the beggar or do u find change?? Which will help the beggar more? Asking for change or not giving at all?

So dumb to ask for change, unless you go in the Church office or where they count money to ask them to break the money in pieces for you.
Other than that is so dumb to put offering money and ask for change.
Giving offering is not by force, if you have no other money and don't want to give out all the one you have, you can skip offering and give next time.

We do that alot in RCCG and it's very wrong... I learnt it since I joined...The painful thing is that I did it today... How much change are we collecting that God cannot even give us at that very spot... I want to use the medium to promise God that I will stop collecting change from offering boxes...

You need to discover yourself if you truly are and put your faith on weighing scale.

It is wrong for whatever reason to collect change for giving offering. For pete's sake, it is not by force to give offering in the first place if you dont have. God searches the heart and rein of man. He cant be deceived.

If you dont have change, look for change before you go for service. You have six days of the week to do that. All other talk is an excuse. Let us have respect for our Maker.

There is no how they would tell disobedient children that collecting change for offering is wrong that they would hear.

Not here to argue with anyone. Afterall, salvation is personal.


Again I say it is not wrong. We give because we have. No human doctrine should compel you to give when you run out of finance. He 'gives seed to the sower' remember. If however you feel moved to give out of what you have and you know you need your change to meet a need, please get it but with a measure of sanity of course and not to cause a scene. God knows your heart and intentions.

You plan your offering before you go to Church. Asking for change is turning the Church to a crayfish selling point. It's not a noble act. Let the money go and expect a bigger miracle.
