SOME TESTIMONIES OF SOME TITHERS

QUAKER OATS COMPANY
Does the name Henry P Crowell sound familiar to you? How about the company he founded-Quaker Oats? While yet a young man, Crowell heard a sermon by Dwight L. Moody. He made a remarkable commitment to the Lord. He said ‘ I can’t be a preacher, but I can be a good businessman.’ He prayed ‘if you would let me make money, I will use it in your service.’ He bought a little run-down mill called Quaker Mill. Not only did he faithfully tithe but it is reported that he gave far beyond the tithe and funded the Lord’s work for over forty years.

COLGATE PALMOLIVE COMPANY
Who hasn’t heard of the Colgate Palmolive Company? Do you know that a tither found it? William Colgate left home when he was just a teenager. He felt that his father was too poor to keep him. With his only belongings tied in a bundle, he met an old canal boat captain. He confided to the captain that he was leaving home to lessen the financial burden on his parents. He explained to the old man that the only trade he knew was soap and candle making. The old captain knelt and prayed for the lad and then looked him in the eyes and said, someone will soon be the leading soap maker in New York. It can be you. Be a good man, give your heart to Christ, pay the Lord all that belongs to Him, make an honest soap, give a full pound and I’m certain you’ll be a prosperous and rich man. Those words apparently made a strong impression on him.
He tithed from the first dollar he made as an employee. Soon he was made partner of the company he worked for and ultimately became the owner of the business. He, like Henry Crowell gave far beyond the tithe. It is reported that his giving grew from 20% to 30% to 40% to 50% and finally he was giving all his income. He gave millions to the Lord’s work. Think about that.

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER Sr
Some of today’s well known wealthy families initially gave their wealth when the patriarchs of the family committed to tithing. Take the Rockefellers as an example. Listen to John D Rockefeller Sr’s own words.
Yes, I tithe, and I would like to tell you how it all came about. I had to begin work as a small boy to help support my mother. My first wages amounted to $1.50 per week. The first week after I went to work, I took the $1.50 home to my mother and she held the money in her lap and explained to me that she would be happy if I would give a tenth of it to the Lord. I did, and from that week until this day I have tithed on every dollar God has entrusted to me. And I want to say, if I had not tithed on the first dollar I made, I would not have tithed on the first million dollars I made. Today’s the heirs of many of this great industrialist may have wondered far from the principles that created such enormous wealth and influence. Many of their companies are now publicly held and the stock holders don’t have a clue that they are still reaping the harvest of the righteous acts of their founders. To sustain such success and blessing, there need to be a rediscovering of the principle of putting God first and building a business as a way of seeking the kingdom of God.

R.G leTourneau (INVENTOR OF CATERPILLER MACHINES)
My father was actually impressed by R.G leTourneau. R.G leTourneau was the creator and manufacturer of giant earth moving machinery. As my dad will receive the offerings at the church he pastured, he was fond of referring to R.G leTourneau as a man who could not out give God. Before the end of his illustrious career, this manufacturer will reverse the percentages and give God 90% and retain 10% for himself.
I remember that my parents receive regular publications from the charitable foundation R.G leTourneau started and funded with 90% of the stock of his corporation. Each month the publication will show pictures of the monster machines, some weighing as much as 200,000 pounds and each newsletter incorporated tithing because R.G leTourneau contributed his great success to it. Before his death in 1969, he had contributed millions and millions of dollars to the work of God worldwide.

OTHER NOTABLE TITHERS
We could go on and on and list names like J.L. Kraft Cheese Company, Wallace Johnson, the founder of holiday inns, or the founder of welchs grape juice. Each of these Godly businessmen was committed to tithing and I firmly believe that was the key to their outstanding success and legacy.
When the issue of tithing as applied to the small business is raised, many opinions abound. Often the small business operator is left in a dilemma. Should he or she tithe on gross revenues, net profit, salary taken or taxable gain?

Kenneth hagin once shared a testimony of the depression how a christian farmer went to his pastor because his coton farm refuse to bud even though it was ripe , they needed to harvest it before the rain that was coming.If it rains .the whole farm would be destroyed . it was like that allover the town but the pastor asked him " do you pay your tithe ? the man said yes, The pastor asked him for the tithe card, those days they use cards in churches and the pastor signs in when they pay. So the pastor went with him into the middle of the cotton farm he raised the tithe card up and said "lord you promise to rebuke the devourer, this card is the evidence that this man is a tither.the pastor was not done speaking when they began to hear cracking noise all over the farm! the whole farm turned white! . the cooton budded. other farms were destroyed by the rain.

ashjay001:
I've not paid tithes in forever!

But, paying tithes creates a positive slant of mind for d payers! Most religions are built on faith, if u believe strongly enough, u'll get returns on investment.


Those MOGs are just motivational speakers, since most shepples cant believe in themselves, get them to believe in something!

Deprofessional:
Let's be open minded.

Don't insult, don't abuse, don't use fowl language.

Just bring in your intelligent narratives.

Mention one blessing that accrue to tithers which do not accrue to non-tithers.

To put this question more clearly, mention one thing you have gained, received, achieved etc by paying tither which others who do not pay have not gained, received or achieved etc.

Deprofessional:
If your Earthly father has a G-wagon, you cannot be moving around with public buses.

How come your spiritual father has a private jet and you cannot afford three meals a day? Daddy Freeze asks.


This point raised by Daddy Freeze has finally exposed the criminals in the house of God. They take from the poor and enrich themselves while promising the poor of a better place in heaven.


How can you rationalise Chris Oyakhilome who preaches on the need to lay our wealth in heaven , yet buys choice properties in Dubai, London and other places.

I have said it, and I will continue to say it, most Nigerian pastors are actually robbing the poor.

daniska3yaro:
So much blessing,mercy,grace and favors,its just a mystery that you can't use your common sense to solved it.

Benosky011:
Me and my friend were today arguing between Toyota Oil and Mobil 1 5w30 USA oil, the one that is better.

I know that the likes of Gazuzu and others can help settle it between both of us.

So, pls advice, Mobil 1 5w30 and Toyota 5w30, which is better for a Toyota Camry?

noxide:
After uncountable months of running 20w50, I switched to Total Quartz 9000 5w40 with no issues

It's two months now

nurey:
You for kukuma tell op make him buy red oil, since that is even way cheaper than Quartz 5000.

Op use the Quartz 9000, it has the recommended oil weight for your car 5w30 and am sure it's rating will also protect your engine. I hope the camry is a tokunbo vehicle not a Nigerian used ooo.
