In the Book of Acts and the Epistles of the Apostle Paul, the early Church primarily funded itself through voluntary contributions from believers. Here are some key ways the Church gathered financial support:

1. Voluntary Sharing of Possessions: In the Book of Acts, particularly in Acts 2:44-45 and Acts 4:32-35, believers are described as having everything in common. Those who owned property or possessions would sell them and give the proceeds to the apostles, who distributed the money according to the needs of the community.


2. Offerings for the Poor: Paul often organized collections for the poor, especially for the believers in Jerusalem. In 2 Corinthians 8–9 and Romans 15:25-27, Paul encourages churches in other regions to contribute financially to support the poor Christians in Jerusalem. These collections were voluntary and motivated by a spirit of generosity and solidarity.


3. Support for Apostles and Evangelists: Paul also addresses the idea that those who preach the gospel should be supported by the Church. In 1 Corinthians 9:14, Paul writes, "The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." Although Paul himself often chose to support himself through tent-making (Acts 18:3), he acknowledges that it is appropriate for ministers to be financially supported by the Church.


4. Hospitality and Material Support: The early Church relied on the hospitality of believers. In several of Paul’s letters, he thanks churches and individuals for providing material support, including food, shelter, and resources for his missionary journeys (Philippians 4:15-18).


5. Regular Offerings: In 1 Corinthians 16:1-2, Paul instructs the Corinthians to set aside a sum of money each week in accordance with their income, which would later be collected to aid others, especially the church in Jerusalem.

These practices reflect the Church's emphasis on mutual care, generosity, and sharing resources to meet the needs of the community and further the mission of the gospel.

In this submission did u see anywhere that they gave this support to receive blessings?were they threatened will hellfire?Did u see anyone pay tithe?freely they gave expecting nothing in return.Is this the same thing Nigerian churches do?

Sebocious:

Offpointng:
Lol you think? In UK today, if you no know person wey go link you up to a better using his influence, you go suffer with meager jobs taya

It's everywhere nigga tho it's kinda worse here

So if someone refers you which is normal,will he do the interview for you?u can refer someone and even earn money from it..the question again is,will he do interview for you?let's say what we know

PEACE2023:
You are wrong bro. My uncle gave over 2,000 southerners Job during his time because he got to the top. I am a beneficiary.
Another of his beneficiary was just appointed permanent secretary recently.
He has started giving southerners Job too.
The problem is us not the northerners.
Imagine having 30 people climb up the ladder and 7 of them are Southerners, it will still be good because 7 southerners will get Job but if among the 30 no southerner, the FG can not appoint a junior southerner when there are seniors from the north. Never.
Let me tell you.
My uncle gave people Job in many government agencies and parastatals. Some are DPOs, Controllers both in immigration and customs, some are Captains in Army, navy and Air Force. They are climbing with their set, if they remain till their pick, one of them must join the top ladder because federal character is still being used where you have personnel across the geopolitical regions.
Greed is stopping us from taking what belongs to us.

Being in a foreign organized country,it sounds bizarre hearing you say..my uncle gave this and that job...lol..like someone said here,northerners don't fare well where merit is used.And it is heartbreaking that these mediocrity will be our leaders and then we expect Nigeria to be a better place.

FxMasterz:
Everything you said is correct concerning every believer. That's my brand of Christianity. That's what I preach. And interestingly, that's what Oyedepo teaches.

Oyedepo was the first man of God in this country to teach you how to take charge of your life as a Christian and be a beacon of hope to others in your neighborhood. Infact, he teaches that wherever a Christian is, especially in the midst of unbelievers, he is the pastor or the priest of God for the people in that place. He teaches that you're born again to be a solution provider and not a miracle seeker. You're the one that God has placed in your neighborhood, your office, your school, anywhere, as a representative of God to the people. God put you there because He wants to work through you to manifest His love towards the people. You're not there by accident. The believer is the solution that God has sent to his generation. Your refusal to take full advantage of God's grace upon your life is a disservice to God's kingdom. "It is a slap on your redemption for you to be running from pillar to post looking to someone to lay hands on you when God has already placed the solution within you." Let me stop here. At least you already got the gist.

Please let's celebrate this great man of God. It doesn't matter whether he knows that I exist or not. He doesn't actually need to know. He is indeed a blessing to this generation.

Happy birthday once again to the great man of God, Bishop David Oyedepo!

What you are saying is not true.if it were true,the country will have better people.ive never seen a person that refused to collect bribe because he is a winners member.The brand oyedepo teaches has not made us better people instead it teaches greed,covetiousness etc He does not teach Christ.He does more of Judaism mixed with traditional religion.

Any master at manipulation can have the same 'success' he is having.i said success because he has achieved that which worldly christians measure success.
But if u read the Bible well,he is a failure through and through

KnowAll:
If I was Obi I would not run again, I better be number 2 than face this humiliation,

All these narrative mercenaries..smh

kettykin:
The prayer of the pastor helped a governor reclaim his mandate from APC and when the.man became a governor he came back to the church in prostration and Thanksgiving

So you think it was the pastors prayer that helped the governor?how old are you bro?

kettykin:
When I saw a whole governor bow in the church . I realized the church really had the miracles real , but someone was catching cruise with the church testimonies by manipulation and editing the actual content and I know the people likely doing that

What do u mean by a whole governor?as in?

Propaganda thread.filled with multiple monikers spinning the same narrative .well done.

Obi/datti campaign org. still remains the only ones who did account of election spending to date.
Funds were sent directly to the abure controlled labour party,till date no audit or account of the funds.

The unaccountable is asking the accountable to be probed..what a joke

emkz:
This dude said FBI would release 90,000 pages on the person who defeated the candidate Hundeyin supported.

Obidients believed and started celebrating.

When the date of the alleged release came and passed without anything, Hundeyin folded and found another excuse to deny his fraudulent activities on the gullible Obidients.

Obidients forgave him and handed him a rope to lead them to the slaughter house.

They followed him like cows following a herder.

Then he claimed someone was involved in drug dealing.

Again, Obidients believed and started celebrating.

When he was asked by Arise News that civil forfeiture was not a criminal conviction, Hundeyin insisted "there must have been some sort of conviction".

Obidients believed and started celebrating.

What sort of conviction would not be in the public domain?

Anyway, the head of the Obidient mob took that as a plank to file an elections petitions case. He ended up not proving this as the entire evidence he had was the hateful tantrum of David Hundeyin.

Then David Hundeyin published the ID page of a Guinean passport claiming Tinubu was a citizen of Guinea.

Yet again, Obidients believed and started celebrating.

Why do Obidients always celebrate? We'd come to that later.

Hundeyin could not convince anyone that Tinubu was a citizen of Guinea. He just believed. Obidients believed. They have no minds of their own to ask basic questions.

Later, David Hundeyin joined the fray to claim Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University and potentially committed identity fraud.

Even as ridiculous as the allegation was, Obidients believed and started celebrating.

Then Atiku, a respectable man, joined the conversation.

Atiku used that argument to go to Chicago State University (CSU) to build a case that Tinubu never attended CSU.

Atiku returned with his fingers burnt, but commended David Hundeyin for his investigative work that helped Atiku undermine himself. Tinubu thanked Atiku for helping prove that Tinubu did attend CSU.

Later, David Hundeyin asked Nigerians to subscribe to his platform. When they refused, he insulted them.

Even then, the Obidients felt good that their investigative journalist god insulted them.

Lately, he has succeeded in putting PIDOMNIGERIA in trouble, took control of PIDOMNIGERIA's Twitter account, exposed him, and quietly exited when he saw what PIDOM is facing, probably after Hundeyin set him up. PIDOM sadly is too naive to understand the mind of Hundeyin.

Some of us listened to his interviews and wondered how he could mislead intelligent people.

Finally, to the celebrating Obidients. There is a maxim that says: "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". Let's extend the maxim: "fool me many times, I am your bitch". Many of you have become Hundeyin's bitches. He'd sacrifice you for his own interests as he has done against PIDOM!

God endowed you with a brain.

Use it.

Well done..this your full time job ehn!

Why do I have this feeling that the church strategically invested by opening a shop for his mum to reap returns as he was maybe an up and coming artist then....my 2 cents tho

I wish it looked like this in real life...the former dakada propagandist have finished their contract.Are you the new kid on board?if you want to see real hardship,visit Uyo which is the capital city....not to talk of the other LGAs

On Sunday,they are the same people you will. Find speaking in tongues..lol

yoruboid:
He performed at things that are very easy to lie about

In Sports, no one argues with results

In Education, he created miracle centers

In Security, he lied because more than 90% of crimes in the SE are unreported. What about the Izu River killings? BH never slaughtered as much at once

In the HDI he keeps lying about, how come people from his state keep trooping into Lagos if the quality of life was better

I’ve always said the five plots lie a lot about school enrollments, GDP but no one can argue with what is very obvious like revenues and infrastructure. If their GDP was high, why are their IGRs low?

Apc has given you guys a full time job.i hope your pictures can be made available let us know who is doing these Apcs dirty jobs

The Only Unsinkable Ship In Life

It's not the Titanic but JESUS.

JESUS is the only ship in this life that can never sink no matter the storm.

A serious storm is coming that would sweep away anyone that's not inside His ship just as it was in the days of Noah. Matthew 24:37-39

Hence why you need to get into His ship before the door gets shut.

It will be the wisest decision you ever made in your entire life.

God bless.

But Jesus was not his name.he was Jewish,he spoke Aramaic,Hebrew,maybe a little Greek.

Medipharm:
You people are despicable

You think they are doing these for free?lol

erico2k2:
You got to start at the base of the mountain b4 you hit the summit!If you rush in you crash out. The only way to start at the top is if you are self employed!

You are right.just needed answers to my initial question tho

erico2k2:
man must start from somewhere. Nobody start from the TOP even those born here.

Yes I get.but man need to position self for higher stuff

erico2k2:
From my personal experience, I can tell you this for free, ,The UK employer give less attention to your certificate, They focus more on Experience cos most of your interview questions will be case studies. So how do one give answer to a case study when they don't have any personal or gone fru situation where they could use such as a case study?. Unless such job is at entry level then I don't know,
PS .Some Employers even go as far as even saying things like UK experience!

Thanks bro.i have ample corporate experience in Nigeria but in UK,na warehouse levels..lol

wiseoneking:
Everything with tribal sentiments, what else is in you guys mind other than this Sh**it. You are moving forward and still dwell in places full of dilapidated houses that are not fit fir humans.

You think it's done free of charge?lol.

sIfioksq:
Those Obedients just dey hate, we dey move forward with FG and Tinubu, Ekiti go dey alright with this MOU for our Specialist Hospital!

How many monikers are you using Mr agent?

Tareq1105:
Shut up there. You think you have monopoly of talking rubbish?

If server was switched off as you alleged, don't you have copies of your Form EC8A from your Agents in the 176,000 polling units across the federation?

Can't you add them together state by state and get your total?

Which election materials do you want INEC to give your lazy LP legal team?

Mention one Tribunal at which INEC supplied electoral materials to any legal team.

LP legal weren't smart and very lazy. And that explains why 70% of its efforts were on Disqualification of Tinubu and not on the scores of APC, PDP and LP.

Till today, nobody knows what LP scored in that election yet it claimed Obi won but doesn't know what he scored.

I thought I was discussing with an objective person not knowing it's all these agents on nairaland.enjoy your stipends bro..na your time

Obaranje:
talk with sense, did you read about any glitches in their server at a time a particular candidate is leading in a particular region?

This is a call to our electoral body to be truly independent, up to the task and creat a strong sense of confidence in his people.

Not that nonsense you wrote up there. Even though we know the talkertive man from the east didn't win but a lot need to be corrected in our electoral body to inspire confidence in the people

If I may ask, are you proud and confidence of your electoral body, looking at what transpired in kogi and imo state last election?

The talkative man didnt win yet you switched off server ,ignored what happened in even rivers state and your eye-neck refused to give him election materials at court.yet he didn't win..so who won?
