Deuteronomy 14:22-29 (New International Version, ©2010)

Tithes

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Deut 14 vs 23 go and read it

Why jumping to only malachi 3v8? Read the whole of malachi bro so that your eyes will open, also read leveticus, why is it that pastors never quote any other verse except malachi? Tithe never started in malachi, read more verses so that you will understand the origin of tithe and who tithe are meant for.

emusmithy:
That's not true.

Read Malachi 3:8-10.

Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house , and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
MEAT IN MY HOUSE...So the keeper of the house can feed and not die of hunger in doing my service.

You pipo wants pastors to be paupers but you've failed already.

I wonder ooo. If you dont tithe yr life will be tight bla bla bla

saintmark88:
I never said all pastors are bad, I only meant those who manipulate people with all kinds of methods including threat of God cursing them to part with their 10% is daylight robbery

Because that is what the bible encourages us to do

emusmithy:
Why must your tithe be used for giving to the poor? Why not the money for beer, cigarette, clothes, girls, parties?

The devil is a bastard!

U see ur life? Zombie!!! Hes not collecting tithe but encouraging people to use their tithe to help someone out of poverty. You wont tead, you will just jump into conclusion bevause of your hatred for the young man. If daddy freeze own a church i will attend. Nonesense

debossng:
So Daddy Freeze is now collecting Tithes?

Wonders shall never end! Peeps shine ya eyes

Has church ever taken from tithe to even repair common leaky roof? Whenever church want to still do anything they still task us. Has your church ever given account of tithe? Or told you they are taking from tithe to repair church bus or roof? Everytime we are still made to contribute. Stop defending the obvious please.

felixomor:
Tithe has only one meaning in bible concordance.
If you want to add your own. U are alone.

And if your last line says people need money, but in your mind, church doesn't need money ba.
Yet you want to go to worship centres and feel comfortable when you worship God and share His word. But Church doesn't need money
Good o. Continue

Didnt u read it there that it was gift? What understanding do u need again? Tithe and gift is different na, we pay tithe and still give gifts to our pastors

felixomor:
Tithe simply means 10 percent
So how are you sure of the percentage the church members gave?
Even In the book of Acts, it is recorded that some christians even gave 100 percent of all they had.

So tithe is even an understatement.

By the way, have you now seen that money given to a bible believing church is also a sacrifice unto God?

What subsidy again? Guy take your time ooo

9jakohai:
There is no scam.

Just Nigerians refusal to face reality.

The truth is, most Nigerians don't want to pay high for fuel. They want govt to subsidize fuel...

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home.

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

How does this relate to the message? Some of u need some serious sense

kingthreat:
I dont have a problem with Daddy Freeze. But looking deep at him, it's obvious he is envious of those pastors. If he is going to preach against Men of God, then he should do better than the men of God.
How many Needy people has he helped
How many charities has he invested in
When has he ever evangelized.
Does he put Jesus first in his conversations?
Why is he unready to forgive reconcile with his wife.

Please if he cannot uphold one Christian tenet, then he should please shut up.

Why is Daddy freeze still fresh? I expect him to have even died.... biko cool o down, God is not angry with anybody, its the pastors that God is even angry with. Go back and read malachi, the message there was even for the priests not us. The robbery that was talked about was directed to the priests and not us. So many dont even tead bible sef.

desreek9:
Tithing is not a scam, as u quoted 2corin.9:7, you give willingly, no one is forcing anybody, whatever the men of God uses it for is their business, it's left for God to judge.

All those criticising men of God should take heed, God only knows those that are serving him in spirit and in truth. An example in the bible is when miriam was gossiping about moses to Aaron, she was punished for it, although wat she said was the truth.

Take heed people.

Spot on

BankeSmalls:
Hoe can you remember all these when SARS approach you from behind and rain slaps on you and at the end of the day threaten to shoot you and plant a gun on you if you don't take them to the nearest ATM and empty your account?

No wonder, the practice of atheism is on the increase.

Same problem with my vehicle.... toyota camry 2004. On flat roads it drives properly but when climbing hills it stalls......pls i need help here.

nickxtra:
My Nissan primera drives well on normal and flat road,
but becomes sluggish on hilly road and does not change gear on time. Where are u in Abuja?

Dont confront him on ur own. And dont be in a rush to report to the police. If u can find a way to see some of this child right activists. Look for a way to handle what will happen after the whole thing is blown open. Who takes care of her after the whole thing is blown? And pray the girl doesnt deny you when it matters most.

I came here seeking answers to my car issues and one ifiot from no where is here correcting grammar.

Dis is nigeria, u can leave whenever u are tired, the laws never reach like dat. I once got one job like that, i signed all manner of agreements and bond. When they started misbehaving, i dropped my resignation, they called me that i cannot resign like that based on my initial agreement. I told them i am in my house, come and catch me and drag me to work for u by force. I warned them never to call me again. Wicked souls

chuksdsilent:
I passed an interview for a web development job I applied for and I was asked to sign a letter of non disclosure agreement before
1. I am told what the company is doing
2. They will show me their office
My question is
1. is this normal?
2. If I want to leave after some years is it possible?
They said they want to be sure am in. The salary is 70k in lagos. I don't want a situation after sometime I will start regretting taking up the job.
Reasonable advice please

U better be careful, dont get served in the process. The dude came from America, u know dos people head no dey ground, if u do anyhow him fit shoot u ooo. After all this mouth let it not be that its u dat will be on the floor in pool of blood. God forbid. Why not talk to him nicely and let him know what hes doing is not good. Fight wont solve anything, tomoro u babe fit still leave u for another man. Br careful

I really need to fix it bros. I work in a very far place. My colleague has bin picking me up daily, i dont want to abuse my priviledges

Denn:
Cheaper alternative is to park the car.

All these should have been done upon first time engine was opened

Thanks man. I just hope this will not cost me too much because im very broke at the moment.

Denn:
*Inspect oil pump strainer, clean, better still change oil pump assembly
*Change main bearings, check crankshaft and measure journals for uneven wear, machine if necessary or replace
*Use a better engine oil and service your car regularly

Its a toyota camry 2004.

diportivo:
from my experience with this ur model of M.A.N diesel,its because you don't top up the grease compartment every morning

instead of changing metal,just put more grease

thank me later

There is dis meral grinding sound i hear from my engine compartment, everytime i hear the sound and i report to my mechanic he recommends i should change engine metal, i have changed engine metal twice now and i discover that about 3-4 months after change the sound returns. This time around i contacted a friend who is more experienced and he was very furious, he said my oil pump was the culprit, he said my mechanic should have known that for engine metal to get grinded like that it is because the oil pump wasnt pumping efficiently. What are you thoughts concerning this? I really want to be sure of what the problem is.

Gurus in the house i need your inputs.

Its a TOYOTA CAMRY 2004

Bless you

The ig is just playing politics,if he's serious he will set up patrol nation wide to monitor and arrest defaulting police men. He's just paying lip service.

Guyman02:
But the IG for the 50th time has asked them to dismantle all Roger Road Blocks?
If they cant obey their IG na Oba pikin them go respect?
Sometimes I dont blame the guys who say Nigeria is a Z..

Amen my sister. Life could be really difficult at times, challenges can only make u a stronger and better person. The earlier u realise that u are on ur own in dis life the better for u. Ur family and friends owe u nothing, they have their problems to take care of too, if anyone help u thank God, if others don't help u, hold no grudges.

queenfav:
God bless you bro.

I am a man that has passed through very tough challenges in life, I ve tasted cool cash before and became very broke to the point of drinking garri for a full week, morning afternoon and night, trekking very far distances dat 50 bucks ordinarily would have settled, I sold all my property to my gold necklace, I remember the abomination paid me 7500 for a gold chain I bought 23k, so many other things that if I begin to share here dere won't be enough space. I passed through all this, I did not commit suicide, what u are passing through isn't Upto 2% of what I have being through. Here I am today a much more better person, im very comfortable and enjoying myself, if I had killed myself then who for dey enjoy all this largesse. Guy calm down, nothing last forever, no condition is permanent......there are menial jobs u can do, don't sit at home waiting for manner to fall from above, go to supermarkets, filling station, you could even go to house building sites, off to wash cloths for some people, go to car wash, if u had done all dis immediately u graduated, u would ve made more Dan that money, because ur posting didn't come immediately u graduated. What I hate the most in life is begging, stop begging and be responsible

They tell us Moses brought LAW but Jesus brought GRACE, they preach about the importance of GRACE......They simply pray with the GRACE of Jesus and collect money with the LAW of Moses

Are u speaking in tongues?
