Even though he had power to creat wealth out of nothing his mind was not set on acquiring wealth or glory of this world.
As a pastor are you a hired hand paid or you do it out of love as a bride for the bridegroom??
Jesus, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Paul,Peter, James, john none of this people collected salary. They worked with their hands and on donations from people. Free will donations.

Now a simple question what gave birth to these scriptures below?? The kingdom of God has nothing to do with money a creation of man. something that would pass away and be no more.

The issue of money has been a problem since the time of Isaiah, Jeremiah. Jesus, Paul, Peter etc

Agreed! He had power to create wealth, but that wasn't his assignment.
Pastors are to do their job out of love, but that doesn't mean they are to starve to death or be poverty stricken.
Nobody is forcing anybody to give or tithe either.
Like my pastor would say, 'keep your money in your pocket and see if I will not be richer'.

nicemuyoo:
Jesus was never rich. He was a grassroot preacher. He did not have possessions. He was never rich that is false information. "The son of man has no place to lay his head". He lived on basic necessities not luxury of any form.

Err ... Jesus was never a grassroot preacher. And poor men don't have accountants. Neither can a poor man sustain 12 men. And also, no one leaves his day job to follow a poor man (who has nothing to offer).

PaChukwudi44:
2 Corinthians 9:7New International Version (NIV)

7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver


People should decide whatever they wish and fund the church.Voluntary donations has sustained the church for centuries and will continue to so.The early church in the bible did not use tithes and yet they succeeded in spreading the message.The greatest missionaries in the history of Christianity St Paul of Tarsus,Patrick of Ireland,SS Cyril and Methodius,St Francis Xavier etc did not use tithes yet they converted more people than all the private jet pastors has ever done.The notion that the church cannot survive without tithes is a fallacy

People who talk like this are hardly donors themselves.

MATTHEW 25 Vs 31-46

The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’


41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”


I have checked these verses...and it doesn't state that God would check anyone's tithe payment records...rather, your LOVE for God expressed through charitable courses to Humanity (with a good motive - i.e. giving glory to God and showing the unconditional love of Jesus) is what qualifies you for the Kingdom of Heaven.

The tithe was never purposed to qualify someone for heaven, it was designed to for earthly prosperity.

SweetJoystick:
Freeze and his flock isn't against offering. Stop telling lies, he only condemns tithe which is fraud

why don't they condemn other things non-money related?

SweetJoystick:
Freeze and his flock isn't against offering. Stop telling lies, he only condemns tithe which is fraud

How can a man who is not even born again be telling you what is right and what is not right in the sight of God?

OkCornel:
No one is against giving to the Church for the expansion of God's kingdom. What I am against is mixing the TRUTH with lies to scam people into parting with 10% of their monetary income as tithe whereas, God gave instructions to Moses that 10% of Harvested crops and livestock is the tithe...NOT MONEY (SILVER & GOLD)

Lol... Pls, tell me how do we give livestock and crops in this mordern age?

Mr Daddy Freeze or whatever your name is, pls tell me why it is that you people cannot criticize anything else in/concerning the Church except for things that relate to money like tithing and offering?
I mean, there are many things to talk about that many so-called Church congregations are doing and encouraging, so why not criticize and campaign against those things as well?
Why campaign against only money related matters? What do you think you'll accomplish with this campaign of yours? You actually think you are doing something good right? And those people supporting you and encouraging you to continue think that you're actually solving a problem right?
Lol... I just dey laugh you and your supporters.

How do you people expect the Church to sustain, expand and the word of God to spread without money (which can come as tithes and offerings)? Yes, no doubt many so-called men of God have abused, misused, miscommunicated and stretched the concept of tithing and giving too far; using it as a devisive means to extort from ignorant people in the Church only to make themselves richer. That I am aware of, against, and strongly condemn.
But that doesn't mean, every Pastor that encourages his/her congregation to tithe and give offerings is a thief or false Prophet. Yes the man might be rich, but then how are you sure that your tithes and offerings alone made him that rich? How much do you even give on service days? Have you considered that there are people who directly give/sow to the Pastor on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis; and/or the investments the Pastor has.
I'm sure the Bible even says, "happy are the feet of those who preach the gospel". And also, Jesus certainly wasn't a poor man as well. So, I'm not against a successful Pastor. Infact I personally prefer them so.

And just to be clear, I'm not trying to defend any Pastor whatsoever here, neither am I trying to condemn/judge any, because I'm not the One that called them into ministry, nor was I there when they were called.

So, you say most of their members are poor while they (Pastors) themselves live so lavishly. Yes, I won't deny that fact. But have you investigated to find out if these so-called poor members are doing what they need to do in other to attain success and prosperity?
Yes, the church should help the poor, but for how long are they gonna be giving these so-called poor people money to take care of themselves? For how long are they gonna be spoonfed? Are they babies? Haven't you heard, "...the poor have the gospel preached to them".
Every poor man is disobedient in one area or another. Just giving money here and there doesn't guarantee prosperity or financial breakthrough like that. You have to do what is necessary in order to afford necessities. And that is why we need good teachers of God's Word in our Churches in these last days and not head pushers, deliverance ministers and seers. This is also one thing you can campaign against.

People not wanting to do what is necessary in order to afford necessities is not a today problem, people love to be handed things.
Didn't you read where after Jesus fed people with bread and fish they followed him like flies and even wanted to crown Him king, why? Simply because they wanted more free food.
Hence, this TAP challenge of your will not alliviate poverty as you think, it will only encourage laziness and laxity. Because assuming you are a smart guy, you surely know that poverty is not a physical (lack of money) issue, but a mental (lack of wisdom) issue.

People need to put their brain to work, capitalize on their talents, make the most of their opportunities in order to make money. You don't need to be currupt to make money, just be wiser, doing what is required per-time.
Many are making it in the Church and many are not. Why? Because only those willing to do what is necessary and obey principles will eat good, while the others will end up as critics in the Church.

And to supporters of Daddy Freeze, you people accuse people in the Church for following blindly, while you do the same.
Look, don't just agree with what this dude is saying without properly giving it a really good thought. Besides, I'm sure many of you his supporters are not even Christians, and I'm not even sure he himself is even born again. And if he's not a born again Christian, then I'm sure the inspiration behind this campaign of his is not of God. And if so, I'm very sorry for those who call themselves Christians supporting him.

Though I still have alot to say, I'll stop here for now.
There are alot of things to criticize in the Church, so why criticize only money related matters? Campaign against fake pastors/prophets everywhere, alien/fake doctrines etc. You can also campaign against the Government and it's terrible treatment of the people and their unfulfilled promises. Or are you afraid of the Government? Okay!
I've said enough for now, thanks for reading!

Commendations, criticism and insults are all welcome!

Teamwork is often said to make the dream work. True, but more importantly, it is teaming up with the right persons that will make the dream work out right.

Association is a powerful tool for dream realization. It is defined as an organization of people with a common purpose and having a formal stucture. It is also known as the connection or relation of ideas, feelings, sensations, etc.; correlation of elements of perception, reasoning or the like.

Here's a story that portrays the power of association:
There was a time the whole world had one language with a common vocabulary. As people moved toward the east, they found a plain in Shinar [Babylonia] and settled there. They said to one another, “Let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used bricks as stones and tar as mortar. Then they said, “Let’s build a city for ourselves and a tower with its top in the sky. Let’s make a name for ourselves so that we won’t become scattered all over the face of the earth.”
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the descendants of Adam were building. The LORD said, “They are one people with one language. This is only the beginning of what they will do! Now nothing they plan to do will be too difficult for them. Let us go down there and mix up their language so that they won’t understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them all over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city. This is why it was named Babel, because there the LORD turned the language of the whole earth into babble. From that place the LORD scattered them all over the face of the earth.

Your association can either encourage your success towards a goal, or attract failure to you.
You can't associate with a wise man and not be wise. Likewise you can't associate with a fool and not be a partaker of folly.

The people in the story you just read were said to be 'people with one language and a common vocabulary'. In other words, they were people who were on the same page when they talked. Their ideas, dreams abmitions and desires were coherent. And mentally, they were in sync. These are the kind of persons you should associate yourself with in other to make a dream work out right: people like yourself.

A wise man once defined a friend (which is another term for associate) as a replica of oneself.
Surround yourself with associates capable of executing an assignment in the same manner as you would, that think in sync with you, that are on the same page with you in speech, and that have similar dreams to yours.
And the skies will be no limit to what you can achieve together.

Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS, found himself in Argentina. He saw a footwear problem amongst poor children and had a desire to do something about it.
And from that desire, TOMS was birthed. Which is an abbreviation for 'Tomorrows Shoes'. With the simple concept: 'sell a pair of shoes today, give a pair of shoes tomorrow'.

Blake wasn't a millioniare, but that didn't stop him from doing something about the situation of those poor kids. He had no connections or expertise in the shoe business, but that didn't stop him from working on his idea.

Today, TOMS (founded in 2006) is a leading global shoes, eyewears, clothings, coffee and shirts retailer.

When TOMS sells a pair of shoes, a new pair of shoes is given to an impoverished child, when TOMS sells eyewear, part of the profit is used to save or restore eyesight for people in developing countries.

The company launched TOMS Roasting Co. in 2014, and with each purchase of TOMS Roasting Co. coffee, the company works with other organizations that they refer to as "giving partners" to provide 140 liters of safe water, equal to a one week supply, to a person in need.

In 2015, TOMS Bag Collection was launched to help contribute to advancements in maternal health. Purchases of TOMS Bags help provide training for skilled birth attendants and distribute birth kits containing items that help women practice safe childbirth.
And it all started with an idea that came as a result of a desire to solve a problem.

What is that dream in your heart?
What is that problem you've identified in your environment?
What is that idea you have kept dormant at the back of your mind?

Your key aim to starting anything shouldn't be to make profit, but to solve a problem.
It's in the process of solving a problem that you end up making profit. It is in the process of meeting a need that you end up meeting your own needs.

Never leave a situation the way you meet it, when you know you can do something about it. That local problem might just be your opportunity to make global impact.

Remember, you are not an accident, you are an answer.
