You shouldn't just pick a verse without reading the whole chapter when you want adequate knowledge.
In the book of Jeremiah, chapter 7 clearly God was addressing the worshipping of the temple/church as an idol. Jeremiah 7:3-4
He was emphasizing that true worship is not the church but Godliness, the expression of good judgement, standing for the liberation of the oppressed, not committing evil, etc Jeremiah 5-11

Finally the answer to your question lies in John 4:24
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Now this didn't stop Jesus from preaching at the synagogue. He wasn't telling people to abandon churches.
He came to teach us that we can carry the church every where because we are now the church.

To conclude worshiping God is a personal journey of faith but it is not a solo drill. We need each other.
We are called to be workers in His ministry.
We are to find our place in the church, sharpen one another and continue to grow in Godliness through Christ-ikeness.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25

All this long rubbish but yet you cannot answer a simple question.did God destroy Shiloh yes or no

1 Timothy 5:17-18 ESV /
Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, [s]especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.”

Point 1
This scripture does not say you should be giving pastors all your money.it does not say if you give pastors that you give to God.it only posits that those working for the church deserve a little payment for thier service and offcourse the elders deserve a little more.do you earn the same with your company manager?




Matthew 10:41-42

The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Point 2
This verse says nothing about financial or earthly reward. It also doesn't state that you should be giving money to the prophet.it says if you receive,give little as water(food) for nourishment.God or his disciples won't need money but
Accommodation or food to have strength to continue the gospel.


1 Corinthians 9:11 ESV /

If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

Point 3
Again this verse validates what I said in the first point.it does not say if pastors reap material things from you then you are giving it to God.Again if you read further down paul said he will rather die than preach and collect money.


Malachi 3:10 ESV /m

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

Point 4

Old covenant verse.not relevant for Christians


1 Corinthians 16:2 ESV /

On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.

Point 5
This talks about donating for the upkeep of the saints..ie other brethren in service in some town not to one pastor.again it does not say if you contribute that it is to God.


Ezekiel 44:30 ESV

And the first of all the firstfruits of all kinds, and every offering of all kinds from all your offerings, shall belong to the priests. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, that a blessing may rest on your house.

Point 6
Old covenant scripture not relevant for Christians


2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Point 7
If you read down to verse 9 in context.you will see it talks about giving to the poor not pastor.


Romans 12:8 ESV /

The one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Point 8
Again this verse has nothing to do with giving to a pastor.it talks about the gift of giving which everyone cannot have.giving to the poor or maybe to meet any specific need.

Mark 12:41-44 ESV /

And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

Point 9
This was before Christ destroyed the physical temple.you could worship God in the flesh(money or burnt sacrifice)but after the cross you can only worship him in spirit and in truth.if you read further Jesus said not one stone of that temple where the widow dropped her last two mites will be left standing.any temple that takes a widows last two mite instead of giving the widow,christ brought it down at the cross.

Recalibrate,you need sometime to come back to normalcy.i know.

Boboye4slim:
Mumu your problem is your baseless assumptions. No one taught me to give to pastors. It’s my money and no one can coerce me physically or psychologically to give to anyone. No pastor, no preacher, no healer, not even an homeless or needy person can coerce me to help if I don’t want to. It’s out of my freewill. I deem it fit to. I do what I do cus I want to. Try your pseudo wisdom on someone else

I won't reduce myself to throwing insults like you.i just debunked everything you quoted up there.give your money to the poor.then you can make heaven.matt 25:31-46.dont be rude,listen and learn,take corrections.you can only worship God in truth and spirit.know the truth.read the Bible by yourself leave those pastors,they are after your money.you can support a church,the Bible is not against that but don't think there is a blessing attached to it.dont expect reward here on earth but in heaven.your pastors cannot tell you this because they need to to believed the opposite and thus make money from your kind.cheers

My brother or sister I don't blame you.those that taught you are very greedy people.they gave you this scripture s to justify that you continue to give them money.like I said ,you cannot worship God with money.God doesn't need your money.the poor do.not your pastors.christianity teaches contentment.your pastors can be paid a stipend and so are church workers.but they can also be like paul and earn a crown in heaven by preaching without charge.paul said imitate me as I imitate Christ.the only way you can give to God is in Mathew 25 31-46.your pastors pretend they do not know.shalom.read my points in your quote to get understanding

[quote author=obailala post=73596655]@Op,

There's nothing wrong with giving to the church of God. Oh yes, God is a spirit and doesnt need your physical money; but what God needs is your faith! God's hand can be moved in your life when he sees you do something difficult (a sacrifice) to gain his attention.

When God asked Abram to sacrifice Issac as a burnt offering, of course God isnt a cannibal so he wasnt going to come down and eat Isaac, he didnt need Isaac for anything. Likewise when God asks for animal sacrifices in the old testament, he doesnt come down to eat the lamb the people sacrifice, God doesnt eat or need your lamb meat. Also, when we fast to support our prayers, of course God doesnt come down and eat the food which we didnt eat, neither does He take pleasure in seeing you go hungry. But in all these things, God is simply moved when we deprive ourselves of something valuable to us in order to gain his attention. Depriving ourselves of something valuable or subjecting ourselves to distress is called 'sacrifice' if we do it to gain God's attention.

This isnt even restricted to God. Even juju spirits that ask for sacrifices in shrines for a native doctor to perform a charm, the juju spirits dont come down to eat the white spotless male chicken you bring. All the juju wants is for you to make an effort at something difficult, to deprive yourself of something valuable. At the end, it's the chief priest and his family that eats the chicken meat, but the juju god has seen your effort in providing such a difficult requirement (sacrifice) and that is the price you have to pay for the juju to grant your wishes.

So in essence, just the same way humans go on hunger strike when protesting and trying to gain attention of govt or whoever, that's the same way Christians fast or deprive themselves of money to gain God's attention. Both cases are called 'sacrifice'; but yeah, there is no doubt that the new generation religious movements have taken the money drive to a ridiculous level which even God can never be pleased with. It even gets worse when most churches now preach that giving to God must entail giving money to a church.[/
Pagan Christian.smh

Boboye4slim:
. Read 1 cor 9: 14

Did that verse say if you give money to pastors that you give it to God?

orlymat:
READ THIS O YE FOOLS!!!.

Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury"

JESUS DID NOT TAKE PITY ON THIS POOR WIDOW AND ASK HER TO TAKE BACK HER MONEY BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANNEL TO GET OUT OF HER PREDICAMENT

slowpoke!if you read further you will see where Jesus told his disciples that the temple would be destroyed.any temple that takes the last two mites of a widow will be destroyed.ur pastors don't tell you that.why would they.?

BENITAPUSSY:
Op,oyedepo already told ur about ur type,jealousy is killing u gradually.





If we cannot gv to Jesus/God work, should we give to mhd?







You are one of the lazy youth,in this case you are a pained oldman.

Show me one Christian scripture that says giving to a 'man of 'god' or for church work is giving to God.ode!

easynetsms:
I want to ask a question, when Solomon scarified 1000 cows for God was it scam?

When Abel sacrificed the biggest animals in his farm was it scam?

Why are we always attacking the church... Do the right thing and leave d rest for God


Buy cheap internet data. Check my profile for more details

You guys like this old covenant things.was Solomon a Christian?why not cite example of how Christ or his apostles sacrificed and ask if it is a scam.ode!

True.but will Nigerians hear?no they won't.nigerians are already braindead by years of brainwashing by this religious folks

Henriekay:
Its is part of our redemption for us to be so blessed by God that people will start to envy us. Renembrr issac in Gen 26:1 downwards. All i see from this guy is envy and it is scriptural allow him he is fulfilling scriptures. Now if u work for an organisation for close to 35years and they pay u very well when u are about to resign. How much more working for God for this number of years. U may not like bishop oyedepo but that man is a blessed man . All u can do is envy this man of God. Happy weeked nairalanders

I knew you cannot substantiate the redemption and blessings story from the new covenant.na old testament you fit see stuff like that.your father that has been working 35 yrs I n Shell,how many private jets does he have? Nigerians ehn,wake up!

Ambassadors:
No wonder the scripture said the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men. How does giving alms equate to giving tithe. So many people here buy the idea of giving alms as tithe that's why it's written that as the heaven is higher than the earth so is God's ways higher than man's ways. We love trying to be logical with God's word but it's not so. Embrace the foolishness of God's word and you will become wisdom to the world.Since I started this I have never lacked, I give to the poor also. Have a blessed Sunday!

Jesus himself never advised us to give to the church but we should give to the poor.why do we do the one he did not advise us to?if you give a poor brethren then it means you give to the church because the Church is us not the building and it's administration

Erastuslove:
O man! There is difference between Tithe 1/10th and offering or free gift..... I was told about a Muslim who sneak into a church to pay tithes only, come and see how He was BLESSED AND REGRETED CHRISTIAN NOT TITHING....

Tithes is compulsory and gift is based on ur mind

One moslem that we cannot verify.if you still pay tithes,you are cursed.

LandlordHopeful:
He's not the one speaking. its the holy spirit speaking through him. don't blaspheme my GO because it carries same consequence as blaspheming holy spirit. be warned

Look at you.who bewitched you? adeboye abi? Stephen full with the holy spirit was stoned to death.so who is your GO?

iwatchandlisten:
The answer to your query is NO. Christ owns the CHURCH so your tithe belong to God. What the leaders of your congregation does with it, by God's inspiration, is between them and God.

Those who genuinely submit their tithes because they love God, joyfully also do charities without complaining. They are not mutually exclusive.

NB - 10% Tithe is the LAW, but those operating on GRACE, normally submit more than 10% of their income. This is a demonstration that you're operating above the law. May God give you wisdom and courage to follow His WORD.

Ole!above the law ko,below the law in.receive sense IJN

asuustrike1:
Yes many of us love celebrations. Celebrating Christmas is a choice, you wouldn't go to hell for celebrating it provided you don't go extreme. But it wiil be stupid to celebrate one's birthday or ,marriage anniversary because it is unscriptural. Cases of birthdays recorded in the bible were bad. Many persons are good at condeming things but they accept half truth.Even those against it because idolatry are more involved in idolatry. They foolishly observe the months of the year forgetting that it is deeply rooted in idolatry. Let's tell ourselves the truth, do you think Jesus would ask you whether you celebrate Christmas or not on judgement day?
It will be stupid to select things that best suit you and leave the rest. Tithing has been there from beginning and would remain till the world end. Those against it should save many of us their sermons and establish their churches.
Let me share with you a true life story of a pastor that kicked against tithing. Pastor Yemisi Adeniyi ( not real name) was all over the internet telling whoever choose to listen that tithing is obsolete. He was able to gather followership which eventually lead to forming a church. His message on giving was "Give cheerfully with a willing heart". The offerings realized from each assembly wasn't enough to cater for administrative expenses. He didn't know what to do as he can't preach to members on tithing. He thought of it then he invited Offiong Anang ( not real name) to sell the idea of tithing. Few days latter, a church service was held when suddenly Offiong started manifesting. She began to speak in tongues and was like a mouthpiece of God that day. She was able to convince the church to pay tithe ". The gullible members fell for her antics thereafter they started paying tithe. Pastor Yemisi was living large. He settles Offiong 10% of whatsoever income the church generates on each gathering. It got to a point that He couldn't take it anymore because his revenue was reducing as a result of the 10% and other expenses. He forgot about Offiong even after she threatened to expose him. It is was time for Thanksgiving. The church was fill to the brim that they hired canopies and chairs. The church service was going on smoothly when all of a sudden, Offiong took the microphone to release the bombshell. This led to the closure of that church in Lagos. The madness of tithing blabla died naturally.
Another group is coming up with similar thing but their aim is to lure men to hell. Going by divine encounters, tithing is one of the requirements to enter heaven. Many persons will not like this but it is what I saw with my korokoro eyes. The judgement throne is very tough and strict. I enjoin believers who care to listen to watch Pst Abraham Yakubu's tape. It is optional if you choose to listen or not.

Are you for real?or just joking?

False humility while flying in a multi-million nair jet.rubbish

HigherEd:
The living faith church nor oyedepo never participated in any asset evaluation with forbes ro arrive at that figure of wealth.

The Forbes report was written by an unserious fellow called mfonobong nsehe( i have my reasons for calling him unserious)
What he analyzed was some church assets e.g Covenant university, Landmark and so called four jets. He just estimated because he had no access to these properties. As at 2013 check with NUC, Landmark alone was worth $100 million at take off. Investment at Covenant is over 100 Billion.

Oyedepo does not keep much money in accounts from what i know but his access to wealth is beyond normal.

The Church housing city in Ota is budgeted at 1 Billion USD(360 Billion naira). They don't even rent space for parking jet, they own an hangar that can park 6 jets.

Can Atiku Afford to build An Airstrip on 3000 acres of land like living faith is doing in Ota?

Atiku kept his university at 3 million naira to survive, oyedepo subsidized his to be 800,000.00 and ask me which one made it to the world ranking first? - just go and look at all the buildings that were donated by friends and partner in AUN.

Not one building in Covenant was endowed by friend, partner or politician, not one! save for the banks that collected land to build. I know other churches that have solicited support from outsiders to endow buildings...

See ehn,the way we reason is absurd.how can you be comparing atiku to Oyedepo?do people pay tithe to atiku? Oyedepo is rich,so what is he into apart from collecting from the poor and running a non profit organization like a business.when did earthly riches become a thing to boast about for a clergy?atiku is a business man and deserves to be rich but Oyedepo should focus more on heavenly riches.

◄ Matthew 15 ►
New International Version [3] Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? [4] For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ a and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’ [5] But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ [6] they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. [7] You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:...
Freeze did not fail to provide scriptures to the effect.

Pesoli:
Do you know what happened to those kids making jest of Elisha? Elisha created bears to eat them up. I want you to repent before I allow the wrath of God to open unto you. It will start like nightmare, they will flog you from sleep and you will feel when you woke up.

@pesoli,so you know what happened to Stephen?they stoned him and fire burnt them all?John the Baptist nko? Peter,paul,luke etc guy are u a Christian or a Jew?

For a man that has robbed the poor silly and lives in riches And squalor from the prosperity gospel.weh done
Lemme see how many jets and universities he will take with him to the after-life

Bullshit,when last did public servants strike in solidarity with private workers?
So private workers should abandon thier suffering under various private companies to protest minimum wage for public officials...abeg free us.spits

HigherEd:
No, it is foolishness to face the message without looking at the messenger. That advise you just gave me led to the fall of man. Eve listened to the devil without considering the hidden motivations for mankind, Jesus was wiser, that yet the devil was not lying when he tempted Jesus with his authority over the earth he knew the motivation of the devil was to destroy man's last chance.

There are many of us that are aggrieved in the spirit about events in the Church. But we realise that Christianity was not founded on social media therefore its problems would not be resolved by it. For our own warfare is never carnal. Christian revival is always birthed in fervent intercession and not mockery of the Guides who hold the torch, however imperfect as they may be.

So spirit will fly and change each of our pastors mind from stealing from God.continu..the revolution has already started.God can speak through anyone.the vessel is unimportant.
And what is the motivation for stopping ur pastors from robbing the poor in promise of grace?to make them poorer?or to send the pastors to eternal damnation? Please think

HigherEd:
I did not watch it, but anyone who supports freeze is a NO for me. I do not care who the person is.

Every good Christian will surely know where this man will end.

At last God will still send him to one of the men Of God to deliver and help him.

I see him turning to a mockery soon

Every true Christian knows freeze has refused the mark of the beast.very soon to chop fit be problem but the grace of God will see him through.in Jesus's case he was crucified and most of his disciples beheaded sponsored by the elders of religion that time.
If freeze stops saying the truth,goes to kneel down and get Oyedepo's or adeboye lay hands on him and start preaching their type of gospel,i bet you because of his intelligence, before 2 years he will be driving a rolce royce or Bentley and his MC job will be back

VULCAN:
Abraham was the first man who paid tithe in the bible.

He came over 430 years before the law

That Freeze deceived your pastor is a sure sign that your Pastor is NOT a student of the word.

Nevertheless, I am not in agreement with flamboyant pastors who spend lavishly on their personal needs.

Their judgement is coming

So because Abraham gave(not paid)tithe once in his lifetime from spoils of war(ie not from his income) and gave the remain 90% to the king of sodom,is that why you are paying monthly?guy your darkness is deep.

Nigerians are stupid people.i remember MMM.how we tried to convince y'all that it was a scam and Ponzi.majority defended MMM wth everything they had.we are generally daft.and when it eventually failed,they all kept quiet.
Reading through this tread,majority cannot see that freeze has refused the mark of the beast.christ said the world hates him and if u follow him,the world would hate you too.you all hate this freeze abi?that's how I know freeze is right and your pastors are the anti-christ.freeze says to worships God is free but ur pastors put a price to it.Foolish Nigerians

Opinion: Joys Oyedepo is my friend but her father’s prosperity doctrine isn’t for me

The Christian theology that teaches God will bless you financially if you sow a seed is quite pretentious—while financial blessings are already given to Christians, Jews, Atheists and Muslims. So why should I bother about giving money to receive material things?

The prosperity gospel was preached before I was even born with prominent televangelists in the 80’s who brought error to the Christendom.

With American preachers of the likes Kenneth Copeland, Paula White-Cain and African pastors, Bishop David Oyedepo, Matthew Ashimolowo, Funke Adejumo I began to feel disconnected due to the amount of money you are required to give to be successful in life.

You have this sense of obligation to give money otherwise things will not work out for you. I was blind enough to follow such doctrines while I knew that Jesus had warned us about the end times that prophets will rise in the name of Jesus to perform all kinds of miracles and money would be the focus of their mission.

The problem I have with the African church is not the leadership but the wrong doctrinal practises that we have seen for the past three decades. I find it hard to believe that pastors who place emphasis on money in exchange of miracles don’t know that this is a gospel of greed and opulence.

I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to attend a church service without special seeds collections. It has become the norm and many people are still afraid to speak against it because Pastors are immune to criticism apparently.

When I realised that I have wasted a lot of time in church seeking for miracles instead of getting to know God on a personal basis, I was also led to believe that seed sowing and pledges were the way to my prosperity. I then discovered that it was a fraud because when I used to give money to the church, the poorer I became. I struggled a lot and knew that this wasn’t what God intended for believers on earth.

Many people will judge me and say that I don’t have enough faith or maybe because I have failed to pay my dues to the church. But when I began to ask questions and study the lives of successful business men, I discovered that that these people are hardworking, diligent with a genius mind to solve society problems. I then reflected that I’m giving away money that I have toiled without a clear vision or plan for my life. I never knew much about how the economic world functions until I began to read financial books and I knew that I got it all wrong. What does seed sowing to God means when it comes to owning a business? As a matter of fact, pastors are the ones benefiting because they are the ones receiving every week. Is this fair? Not at all. So why keep giving away money and not get return for investment as promised?

In the current Christian community, the emphasis is on how to become rich by giving to the pastor. I also know that God doesn’t have a bank account, but we are expected to help the needy, orphans, widows and the poor among us. If we look at the largest humanitarian charities like Unicef, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Akon Lighting Africa and many more we understand that these philanthropists understood that money is not to be spent on luxury but in rendering services. Have you ever asked yourself, why should I give my salary to my pastor? This is wrong at all levels, but many people think that I’m no longer a believer but a philosopher or free thinker. I wish you could understand and one day I’m sure you will!

Do you also know that majority of Pastors have failed us, and we should not be silent about it. This is an injustice and I’m sure God knows exactly what is happening and will not allow more people to be deceived again. Now that I know the truth, nothing can change my mind about it. If you want to become rich look for innovative ideas and come up with a stunning project. As for me and my house, seed sowing, pledges and sacrificial offerings are banished, I’d rather give money to those in need not a pastor they don’t need my money.

My friend Joys Oyedepo, if you manage to read this, I love you sis but couldn’t stand your father’s doctrine on prosperity anymore. I really wish you could read this and tell me if what I said was offensive or the truth.

I Pray For You My Brother, That The Mercy of GOD ALMIGHTY your Creator Fall on you before you drop
