I knew that 10% must be included. After all, majority of 'men of God' open religious centres in anticipation of that free cash!! Anything else is secondary, reason most of them have no jobs but ride expensive cars, flying everywhere, some even own private jets sef. I don't blame them sha, Sheeples dey easy to manipulate

Which one be kingdom wealth.

Michael547:

What verses in the Bible does God demands Christians to pay him 10% of their income. You are yet to quote the verse

‭Matthew 23:23 NIV‬
[23] “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

So Jesus was referring to Christians in this verse?
And what law was Jesus referring to in that verse?

Remove tithing from there jare

@ the bolded...

Blessed by who ?

Even Satan dey bless people too.

What the OP is talking about here is the Blessing of the Lord that makes a man so wealthy and adds no sorrow to it..
Satan dey bless Yahoo plus boys and he will give them short life so that they cannot enjoy the money..

God is still in the business of blessing people, irrespective of your religious affiliations..

God is still in the business of blessing people, irrespective of your religious affiliations..

Lol. Nairaland and these irrelevant religious arguments every other Sunday.

Marvyx:


If you think all the wealthiest people from A - Z don't have a 'god', they are serving, you don't really know what's happening. If you think you can attain a wealthy position on earth without influence from the spiritual realm, you neva know wetin dy sup. They may not be religious, but they are all serving something.

For tithing, if you believe all pastors are fake, look for God's address and go and tithe to Him. Calling ALL pastors fake shows you don't really know much about Christianity.

Best comment so far!

There are realms you can never attain in life if you remain in the physical and ordinary being!

Indeed, every big man has a spiritual coverage which can either be from God or god(s).

Kingdom wealth? And ur country is the poverty capital of the world?

I mean, 99% of nigerians do not have more than 500,000 naira or so sitting idle in their account according to a recent stat. And we know xtians form a large % of population of nigerians.

So is this kingdom wealth applicable to only a minor of a minority seclusion of xtians or what?

Im really impressed to what xtianity can do. With little effort, xtianity is more than capable of creating an alternative reality for the gullible followers. And they believe!

How much do you pay (in Naira) as income tax every month?

My Papa's Teaching 💯

rexbuton:
Do not be deceived, the word of God cannot be broken. There are specific rules for Kingdom wealth ~ this is wealth that defies logic and explanation. Here are the keys. The points below are for children of the kingdom of God only. Thanks.

1. Seeking God. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and ALL other things shall be added unto you.
To seek God means to devote time for the study of His word, consciously walking according to his dictates, living your life as a representation of him on earth (living as the salt of the earth), and pursuing the advancement of his Kingdom via establishment of souls.
“Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish the covenant with he sware unto thy fathers ‘’
God is looking for people who would use their positions to evangelise for God. There are billionaires who are sunday school teachers, who are ushers, who go out for evangelism. People who would sponsor free medical outreaches under the name of Jesus. You must live your life in a way that people are confused about if you are a professional or a pastor.

2. Having a handiwork. God blesses the work of our hands, God does not reward the lazy. When you have a handiwork, then God’s power becomes a force multiplier, he makes things to happen for your sake, mistakes for your benefit, government policies for your sake, being at the right place at the right time. What people sometimes get as ‘luck’ would be what you constantly get as grace.

3. Honoring your father and mother. Honoring in this context doesn’t mean greeting them in morning, or standing up so they can sit, but TAKING care of their needs financially and materially. The bible forbids neglecting your parents with the excuse that you have given the money to God. The commandment to honor your father and mother is the only one that has a promise amongst the 10 commandments.
It doesn’t matter whether your parents took care of you or not, it is their right, it is a universal law. It is not transferable to your spiritual father or pastor or prophet.
If your parents are late, then the person who played the role of your parents is who you owe. Because your parents retain the power to bless or curse.

4. Your tithes and offerings!
Can a man rob God? Yet we rob God by withholding his tithes! According to King David, it is a privilege for us to be able to give unto God, because all we have and acquire are from/for God. 10% of your income is God’s money. Babies in Christ find this aspect very controversial. So I will take you back to the Old Testament, offerings and tithes were the best crops and animals, and they were dressed, garnished, burnt and the smoke ascended up to heaven as their offering.
I am sure the Israelites burnt dirt and refuse every other day, with the smoke rising up into the air, but there was never any controversy about if the offering smoke actually got to heaven or if it was like any other rubbish incinerated. God is not looking at the smoke or the 10% you have brought, he is looking at the OBEDIENCE and FAITH in bringing in your tithe. How much are you willing to let go off in obedience to God? Same example is giving in Abraham almost offering Isaac, his only son, the son of his old age! If you cannot release 10%, can you release your own life for God to use?

Thus focusing on what the tithe is used for is beyond our pay grade, that money has been offered to God, 10% is statutorily God’s money. We are fortunate today that the money is often spent on running the church office, evangelism, crusades, tracts , care of the needy in the church etc. Because if we were still agrarian offering burnt offerings, ‘’leading researchers’’ would have told us how it was physically impossible for smoke to go past the atmosphere up to the heavens, and how our smoke from offerings was rapidly depleting the ozone layer, while jet fuel from private jets were not. But thank God we are not talking about laws of physics and chemistry.
I have written so much about this point, because the devil actively targets believers by deceiving them, even using false prophets in our midst, leading to a situation where some believers pay tithes and offerings grudgingly thus missing out on the reward.

5. Giving to the Poor: Whosoever ever giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord, and he will surely repay. The word of God also says that when we give our bread to the hungry, then in our darkness (or lowest point), we would be shining as the noon day, our barns or bank account will burst with plenty, and the glory of God will be on everything we do.
Even unbelievers know this fact. Taking care of orphans, widows, prisoners, disabled, the elderly, children and other vulnerable groups are acts that God cannot ignore. When you do these deeds, you have to do it anonymously if possible, so that God will reward you directly. Alms giving with cameras flashing is hypocrisy, there is no reward for that.

Ancillary points worth mentioning.
A. God honors covenants. In establishing Abraham, he made a covenant with him and swore by himself, and all through his walk with the children of Israel, God always refer back to his covenant he made with Abraham, reaffirmed with Jacob, and again via Moses and Joshua.
Some people have ancestors who have made covenants with demons of poverty, mortgaging their future generations in exchange for short term benefits such as long life, or protection from enemies- not just in Africa but in the western world too. This leads to their generations struggling without limit, you could see families where no one has built a house, no one has a car, or no university graduate - or the person who almost gets out of the cycle dies mysteriously. Those are demonic patterns. Or having strange expenditure as soon as money arrives.
There are people overseas who are known to have incredibly bad luck, there is usually a covenant in play. If you have done all the above diligently and still struggling, then you need to address foundational covenants of hardship and poverty. How?
a. Completely giving your life to Christ
b. Intense fasting and prayers
c. Meditating on and verbally declaring God’s promises of wealth and abundance. There is power in the spoken word of God.
d. Deep deliverance - Fasting, prayers, deliverance exercise. No matter how dark that covenant is, engaging the power of fasting and corporate deliverance (praying as a group) is able to dismantle those satanic deals. Even the lawful captive shall be delivered, let alone you who inherited deals you didn’t sign up for. I will not shy away from recommending MFM Prayer City.

B. Honouring the office of the priest, pastor or prophet. It is controversial, but it is true. Sowing in the lives of your spiritual parents attracts spiritual rewards. You will always receive a prophet’s reward, if you honor a prophet for the sake of God.
There are special circumstances where prophet can overrule certain negative decrees operational in your life. Most notable example was Jacob cursing Reuben, and Moses overturning the curse on Reuben.
Today we have people with diabolic parents who have placed curses on them, and these curses are frequently overturned by men of God. The word of God says ‘’no causeless curse shall stand’’, and ‘’there is no condemnation for them which are in Christ Jesus’’.

Shalom

The first key to be wealthy is to avoid to dey carry religion for head. The second is to spend more time working.


The Christian Bible doesn't not even preach wealth. It say it is better for a camel 🐪 to enter a needle's eye than for every Elon Musk wannabe to enter the kingdom of God. It also says the love of money (money wey you work for o) is the root of evil things.

Secondly, no give shishi to pastors or prophets. All of dem are fake.


There is no law that commanded pastors to tithe you. Na you no know. Na only pastors get the updates and it's the only way to collect from Nigerians since we are smart in every other areas but religion.

And yes, if you quote Malachi here and refuse to observe all the mosaic laws (like extermination of those who abuse the Sabbath), you and your pastor are hypocrites. You call yourself Christians but follow mosaic laws that was abolished because it involves money crediting you?

You pay tithes and you say Jesus died for you. So why did you think he died if you still have to pay for your sins with money? Okuko Owerri.


Even your pastors know this. But they can't tell you.



That's why the most popular pastors are the richest...flown with private jets and security details armed to the teeth. What about you a profilic church goer tithing? You are told to pray for God for protection.


You remember when armed men accosted Pastor Suleiman? He survived right? Why? Because of the security details and bulletproof provisions! Now imagine it was you that such event happened to with your leggedis Benz or Camry or Corolla. Shey you know your own don finish like that? In fact, those same people wey go say na God protect the pastor for say God gives and God takes. So God don dey take with gun baa?


You didn't even question the fact that the holy spirit didn't even inform the prophet what was going to happen!


Before you say it was God who protected him, so you mean to say those others killed at the spot weren't of God, or your God is one-sided?


Africans, try get sense o.


Na only every Sunday una be Christians. Every other day, you folks become very tribalistic. Look wetin una do for last election...tribalism, sentiments, and all what not.

We are all hypocrites!


With all these una holy spirit and grace, you still remain the most backward in terms of social amenities!


That's why travelling abroad bi like testimony to you. E bi like one big thing. No bi say dem dey share money abroad o but you yearn to be in a system that works (without religious overdo). You go still carry the news go church as testimony say: "I want to thank the Lord for what he has done. I was given Visa to travel to America. Praise the Lord." Lol. So to travel also na thing of the Lord?


Touch your head with both hands and say: "I must decide to not be stupid anymore."





Quote me anywhere.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don laugh tire here. This man u be comedian!

rexbuton:


1. Tithing is not the first point raised in the write up, nor is it the only point, so I’d rather we didn’t dwell on it.
Tithing is not a question of percentages but a question of obedience and faith.
But I’ll post clarification this one time which should suffice for other people asking similar questions.

The Bible is very clear in Leviticus 27:30 where it says “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy.”
God’s people were not even to think of the tithe as theirs to do with as they pleased. It was the Lord’s, and they were to automatically give it back to him.

The first tithe made in the bible happened in Genesis 14:19-20. The first person to do so in the bible was Abram. Abram (more well known as Abraham) returned from battle and was met by Melchizedek. During their encounter Melchizedek attributes Abram’s victory to God and he blesses Abram. Abram responds to the blessing in gratitude and gives Melchizedek a tenth (aka tithe) of all his possessions.

And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

This happened long before the Mosaic law. Jesus came and said he didn’t even come to abolish mosaic law. Even when he challenged the Pharisees he didn’t condemn tithing, he said it was as important as other points I gave in the original write up. This, Jesus upholds the tithe in Matthew 23:23 (cf. Luke 11:42).
Compare with Mark 7.19 where Jesus goes against Mosaic law by stating that you can eat any food, and it isn’t food that defiles a man.
So if Tithing was wrong or obsolete, Jesus would have told his disciples to not bother.

Finally, there is nothing compulsory, it is a matter of choice. I like to use this verse for summation:
2 Corinthians 9:6
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

So u are now a follower of the laws in Leviticus?🤣🤣

Maybe I should drop all the laws in Leviticus for u so that we can analyse and follow it all. 😅

Michael547:

Who are the ones that are true? Can we know them?

You may not know them, you may not have heard about them because they don't have big names or control mega churches/ denominations.
Stop the generalisation.
I have encountered both the genuine and the fake pastors.

Una don start abi. Brainwashing principles.
Kingdom wealth is NOT locked, so you don't need any key to unlock it.

As a Christian, focus on Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit be your companion. You will have what you need when you need it, in abundance, such that you can help others with excess.

of


D key


dey make me


Laugh 😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂

I really appreciated what you wrote up there. I have some observations as regard the 4th point and the B part of the ancillary points.
The 4th point is no more bidding since the advent of Christ Jesus's death. That death removed most of those ancient and mosaic laws and replace with Just two laws which are;
1. Love your God with all your heart, Mind and Soul, which Love God with a pure heart.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

If you follow these 2 new laws, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th will come easy to who really love God.
On the B part of the ancillary, God is available to anyone who is acceptable to him. For you to be accepted, you have to love him and love your neighbor. Priest and the office is no more functional due to the advent of Jesus Christ who is the chief Priest that intercede on the our behalf via his blood on the torture stake.

Final, most of those that serve God with whole soul aren't wealthy and rich. They are poor and the reason for that is just because they can't be play both devil's game and serving God. To wealthy in this world, you'll have to eat with the ruler of the world. Cheat, steal, and lie.
The only promise God made is to preserve your spiritual riches against Satan's attack if you cling to God truthfully.

I hope u read in proverbs that a diligent man will stand before Kings, it didn't say a man that pays tithe or offering ..

chatinent:

It also says the love of money (money wey you work for o) is the root of evil things.

Money wey I work for, yes. But please what do you understand with the word LOVE? Now, let's say you claim to love a girl so dearly, with the love you have for her, you can do anything for her to please her. And she was hungry, you have no food to give her, but with the love and you disliking to see her hungry, you steal food and give to her.

Now from the example, love is not a sin. But stealing is a sin here. You steal the food for her base on the love. Note: it is just an example.

Now, the bible made it known in what you quoted that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Nobody in this life will say he or she doesn't like money. But when money, is being loved, the person with this in his heart can do anything thing to get that money. Example are our politicians that even have the money, but still loots our common wealth.

Ritualists using the people they claim to love to do money rituals. Can we now see what the love of money can cause? The love of money, has sent blood brothers to early graves, where you see them fighting over property, becos they know how much money they can get from it.

@ poster, pls pardon me to ask you this? 1. How do the apostles use the donations they received in the acts of apostles?
2. Why do this generation of pastors focus on building mighty cathedral, enjoying luxuries, travelling here and there while members have no basic needs (food, cloth, shelther)

You guys need to shush about this kingdom wealth business for once and refocus on restoring the sheeple back to righteousness and Godly living! For the fast almost 20_25 years that the focus of preaching changed from 'where will you spend eternity ' to 'acquiring kingdom wealth ' Christians have become poorer both morally, materially and spiritually more than before! Our nation is in shambles, with every corner being overun by the heathen and yet you will not see that God only blesses a holy and sanctified people... you that posted this, how rich are you? God is not a get rich quick formula! He said "seek first my kingdom and its righteousness and every other thing will be added to you". You coming to God because you want money or attending church because you want breakthrough, you are just deceiving yourself because God is not your local pastor that's just marking attendance. He sees your heart and the motive therein... you will receive nothing!

Distribution for the needs of the poor and the church.
Today’s focus on building large cathedrals at the expense of the sheep is unscriptural. But it takes nothing away from the point that God’s work MUST be run with the resources he has given us.
The message is for God’s children though.

Jesus Christ never preached or teach about money! He preached about the kingdom of God. He preached about love. He preached about repentance. He preached about giving to the poor. He preached about feeding the sheep. But pastors of today preaching about giving to church. Today you have the richest pastors. They preach "your reward is in heaven", but they're billionaires here. There's God. They're not afraid of God Almighty. Judgement will start from the house of God.
