It has been gathered that the Burma boy-led association of wack musicians have taken to social media to call out Davido on his recent MAMA evolution award, bagged at the MTV event held a couple of days back.

Burna boy has said, though I wasn't nominated I will still keep doing good music for my fans unlike some dude who intends to give out his award as a toy simply cos he knows he didn't deserve it.

His fellow wack musicians have also acknowledged the fact that despite their wackiness, music still remains their dream. Join us as nairalanders wish them well...

According to the latest information reaching my desk. It has been gathered that a couple of road racing cows have sent the entire convoy of Jagaban into a paralytic and melancholic krimkum.

abeg ohh no implicate me ohh...well if i were a church marketer,don't u tink i wud have been a firm supporter of tithes?
i simply believe every one sud GIVE as he has decided in his heart NOT under compulsion or necessity or to a particular person....in fairness 2 ur post,do u know wat pastors say dese days....they say you are blessed wen u give to a pastor but receive none when you give to others...thats not only erroneous but a terrible lie and an insult to the finished work on the cross....

They probably say that cos of the prayers they stand to shower you with after dropping.....lol

Freemanan:
No

lol...

hurray.....we have one devil's advocate already....anyone else?

Isn't this lovely?

Kindly share your throwback pics if uv got any too...

openmine:
No sir....!

Forgive me....though I reason and totally agree with you on the explanations. But at some point, you sounded like a church marketer who is hell-bent on making a brother drop his next jumbo tithe into the church coffers cos you live on the commission.

Just a joke tho.....thanks man. I guess all I needed was a new perspective to things.

All these comments ain't you. That's what others and yourself have failed to realise.

MizJanet:
This fairytale is getting interesting , so Satan works for God ?

Your god creates hell to torture his imperfect children , then appoints satan as C.E.O

Am suprised you still belive in this fiction

One can only assist you with prayers....

openmine:
u didnt answer question 3....there lies ur answer and question 4 actually shows u how 2 give in d new dispensation...
if I may correct an impression...tithe is not giving but a required payment... its totally different from giving...giving is free will or beta still a benevolent act which is backed by 2 Corinthians 9:7....tithing is an old covenant belief but free will giving is a new covenant belief..dat y I asked u question 3....hope u grab?

alright....tnx for the clarification. Really appreciate man.

but just curious!!....do you own a church? lol

openmine:
am just going to ask u sum questions and i wud like u 2 respond to them individually..
1.specifically point a scripture where the definition of tithe is a "tenth of your income"?
2.have you studied the scripture deutronomy 14:22 to the end...what are ur deductions from that scripture?
3.Please are you under grace or under the law?
4.What can you deduce from 2 corinthians 8 and 2 corinthians 9:7 ?
Please dont think these questions are not meant to criticize ur beliefs but to make us reason together and better...
while i await ur answers,i wud like 2 admire the fact that you want to give ur money to the less privileged...hopefully,u cud give without needing a law to instruct you...cos giving is a way of life of a growing christian!

deutronomy 14:22 kinda sheds more light on the whole issue.

What I was able to deduce is the fact that tithing is all about giving, so it would be justified to give to the less privileged as opposed mandating oneself that it must be dropped with the church.

Both seems cool...........so I guess its up to us to decide which suits ourselves better right?

Or did I get you wrong?

The fishes myt just turn giants overnyt and eat you up.....lol

Nice one....keep it up

openmine:
plenty...

Let's hear it....

openmine:
smh

Any issue?

Well....though I don't feel the whole idea of tithing is a trick.

It's just that times have changed and a whole lot has evolved ever since the existence of eye-watering luxury-stuffs. So it's understandable if those we look up to in our churches succumb to the flesh and misappropriate the hard earned money of several thousands of people.

While it doesn't happen in all churches though, I just feel its going to be safer and have more impact by touching someone's life directly with my next tithe, and I really hope God will understand the rationale behind my decision.

A lot of millionaires driving exotic cars like G-wagon, E-class and co, often times do not see any reason to lend a helping hand to the less privileged man roaming the streets all because they feel relaxed that they have paid their tithe. But how exactly do churches channel these tithes to reach the streets.

Sometime last year while I was still earning peanuts, there was this particular day I got so broke and without asking, my boss gave me N1000, which was quite unlike him. Though little compared to what I earned back then, but for the fact that I was in dire need and couldn't cry out to anybody, this money touched my heart deeply cos I had no tfare to go home that day. I mean it was that bad. I look back at that day and it makes me realise there are lots of people out there who doesn't need up to N1000 to pull a smiling face. The worst feeling comes when I can't do nothing to help, which is the basis behind my point of view regarding re-routing tithes.

TOPIC: Alternative Method Of Paying Tithe


LINK: https://www.nairaland.com/2394538/alternative-method-paying-tithe

Happy Sunday!!! beautiful nairalanders...

Personally, I have nothing against paying 10% of my earnings as tithe cos I believe its a way of securing one's finances and appreciating God for providing us a means by which we can earn a living.

But it strikes me as some pastors own helicopters, private jets, rolls Royce and so many luxury things while the congregations live on less than 5 dollars a day.

I would not want this to deter me from fulfilling what I see as an obligation to my creator, which brings about the question:

Would it be appropriate to use the same 10% I would have paid to the church as tithe, to directly help the less privileged at the end of every month?

Please help with whatever you would perceive as an honest opinion.

sthugo:
I love this topic

According to KJV
Malachi 10,says : 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...

I don't believe the word of God shouldn't be obeyed accordingly.it should,He says His word is not void.

Lets see it from what I just wrote above
" bring ye tithe,that they might be meat in his house"
Meat was use due to obviously they do animal farming alot in the ancient but comparing it with today its money
But my argument is even when people pay this tithe what do the pastors do with it,do they actually make it available in the storehouse,as the scriptures postulates or they selfishly use it to enrich themselves.
The reason for storehouse is to take care of most stuff when needed,like assist the poor,less privelege,the hungry even themselves.
In d old the missionary did alot of giving and assistance to the people,can we see such today in today's churches.
Its all about personal selfish enrichment.
We need His mercy

You made salient points and I like your analysis...

However, I would like to ask if it is okay to rather take the 10% intended for tithe and give it out to help the less privileged, as an alternative to taking it to a church you do not know what the pastors will eventually use the money for?

God bless you as you help me with this question.

We have only been seeing a picture of the army either carrying gun or about to board a fighter jet or helicopter...

Never a picture of them in action

The other time, it was a picture of two soldiers running like mad dogs after being chased by a mere zebra in sambisa forest

I am fed up of these lies.....they are becoming too much abeg.

That's why he doesn't win awards or get nominations[size=30pt][/size]

whirlwind7:
Oh, really?

Do hurry up and buy the jets and luxury cars.
You can then sell them to us and make it big!

Why bother to teach us for just N20k, when you can become a trillionaire in just a short while?

LOL..........unto that useless currency

All that cash for a fairly used Honda Bulldog that cost N250,000 in Nigeria...
