Giving to people is also the same as giving to God..but if you must go to Church you also have to give a tangible offering to the Lord..

mehhnn!....


Giving to people in need is one thing on it own...

and the best form of giving on this planet.. is giving where it is needed...

Your doing the right thing..

but let me help you sir..

You don't give to church..
as in don't see it as giving to church (the administrators of the denomination)

but when you give in church, give to God, not as a gift, but as a sacrifice, and if it is a sacrifice to the most high, it should be a sacrifice worthy gift...

If Solomon gave to people more than he gave God, he won't be the wisest man that ever liveth.

Giving to the needy/poor is also GIVING but can not take the place of Giving to God.

Don't judge what the church leaders do with your offering, which is not commensurate with the way you have been blessed.

There are different types of offerings, give to God what is His and to Caesar what is Caesar's.

PervertProphet:


Well, you are a foolish Christian just like the 5foolish virgins-another convo told by Jesus.

It's not hard to discern how you need to help the church with your finance if truly your heart is there to light more men for the kingdom of heaven.

studentofTruth:


Tell God to come in person so that we give it to Him directly!

Else, we will keep using the proxy Jesus Himself asked us to use — Mtt 25:35-45. Read this verse from the Judge Himself!

I have over time realised that I find it difficult to give larger amount of money in church. Most times I struggle to give #50 or even #20 as offerings in church. But I have always find it easy to give large sums to persons in need in and outside the church.

Quite recently, a brother accosted me in church with some challenges about his wife's childbirth in the hospital, I went with him and paid off 45k to discharge them. Aside him, I have given up to 100k (if not more) to persons in need this month alone.

But I struggle so hard to give larger sums in church. Even today, I gave #40 as offering in church when I actually have larger denominations in my wallet.

Funny enough, on my way out of the church today, I met my school mate and we went to my house together, although he didn't state categorically that he's in need, but he told me how he has been out of job for 3 months now. After the visit, I gave him 10k from the same wallet I gave #40 as offering in church today.

My question is, what could possibly be wrong with my giving in church? Is it trust issues or I consider it better to give to persons instead of the church?? Is anything wrong with my style of giving??

I need answers please!!

mehnnn....

to cut long story short...

men of God too are humans... especially, d full time clergymen...
hence the church should support their(church leaders) basic materialistic needs
(I said needs not wants or lust on luxury)..

so because these clergymen intercedes for the church... as a full time job...
it is very reasonable to sacrifice to God, knowing that the clergymen will benefit too..

abi make them go steal ?
manner don't fall from heaven, they fall from ur pocket

jesusjnr2020:
I sense lack of trust because if you trusted the leaders to be able to use the money judiciously as you do, you wouldn't have any reason to be less generous to them as you do to others.

I don't think you should be concerned though since you are helping those who are needy including some members of the church because that's actually the whole point of giving - to help the poor and needy, not the rich. That's why after giving in the Bible, the disciples distributed it to the members of the church according to their needs. Acts 4:34-35

I think what you should be more concerned about is why you've remained with a church where you so distrust the leaders?

May God reward you for your kindness and generosity to the poor and needy. Amen!

God bless.

look at this hungry pastor wanna be. the op did not say he never gave to the church, he did but not as much as he gives to the needy and there is nothing wrong with that. Matt 25:40 sums it all.

PervertProphet:


Okay!

Hungry satanist wannabe.
