paxonel:Rapture is not the reason for God to create man. Rapture came into place when man fail. If man trace his step back, which is unlikely. God will return to the master plan. Rapture is like plan B. |
Goshen360:Yes Abraham was commanded to pay tithe by God, for how would he have known about tithe to such precision. Do those who pay tithe today own the people they pay tithe to anything? Check my post on tithe https://www.nairaland.com/1970546/understanding-concept-tithing |
sirman:Was he intimidated to making the promise? If no, its a pity. Now if the vow was to build the church, it has a time frame. After the church has been completed and he brings the money, it becomes useless. It is important we do things within our capacity and not to get praise from people around. |
PastorKun:Did Abraham pay tithe to a levites priest? and was it agricultural produce in the promised land that he paid as tithe? It seems your adding to the scripture now. |
AlfaSeltzer:Hahaha, your funny. Doctors deal on facts we Christians deal on truth. Truth over rules facts. Fact rule the physical world, truth rules the spiritual world. If your were a true christian, note the word true because there are many false Christians. You will move over from the fact of the doctors to the truth of God and not die. The question is, if the Christians were right. Will you love to be in hell? |
fubbyy:It is unfortunate you don't know what a vow is. If you go to a church be yourself, don't do things because others are doing it. If I don't have offering, I sit tight on my sit. I don't go out to borrow and give offering. If there is a vow in my church, I don't vow until I hear God say do so or I have to pay for the vow. Why? Ecclesiastes 5:4, "When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed." The pastor is doing you a great service though he may not know. Don't tempt God, go and fulfill your vow. And be cautious next time to be a man for once by living by a principle. Stop being moved by opinion and circumstances. |
nora544:How do God spread his church? |
CAN YOUR 10% OF YOUR INCREASE MAKE YOU POOR? The simple minded don't ask questions, they swallow everything. And when they do ask, they ask the wrong question and are enslaved the more. Can 10% of your increase make you poor? I made a profit of 1000 naira, will giving God or my pastor 100 naira make me poor? What 900 naira can't do for me, will 100 naira do it for me? No, I made a profit of 10,000,000 naira. Will giving God 1,000,000 and taking 9,000,000 make me poor? How do we prove our sincerity in following God if we find parting with 10% of our increase a burden? What is 10% of our increase that we cannot give to God. No, lets assume there is not reward for tithing. Ok we will prefer spending 30% of our earning in drinking and partying than giving God 10% of our increase. I gave mine first salary to the church I worship though it was not mine church and from that day mine relationship with God entered the next level. When I gave this money, there was no means of transporting myself to work. But the faithfulness of God provided for me and I have long passed that level. Infact after this giving, God lead me to a scripture where told Moses that no one should partake of the covenant of the passover who has not partaken of the covenant of circumcision. |
REASONS AGAINST TITHING 1. To stop the spreading of the church/gospel of God. The major way of financing the church of God is through tithe and offering. If this means of financing the church of God is destroyed, the church of God will go bankrupt. this will result to the end of the church of God. But by the power of God who instituted the church through prosperity and has pleasure in her prosperity, this gate of hell shall not prosper against the church of God in Jesus name. 2. To stop the prosperity of the children of God. These people know that the pleasure of God in the prosperity of the servants of God which comes by pursuing the righteous cause of God, which include the spreading of the church and gospel of the kingdom of God causes God to pour out His blessing more on his children. To stop Gods blessing from coming to His children, they want to make them stop whatsoever that brought them into that blessing. Never in the history of the church has the church of God had such prosperity as it is now. This is because, they have discovered the blue print of heaven open window. I see an uprising trying to reverse history and put the church in bondage again. Some of these people are doing this in ignorance while some knowingly. 3 ENVY Many will not easily recgnise this a the reason for preaching against tithing, but it is. What those speaking against tithing, there are envious of big churches. They will tell you, what are they using all those tithe and offering being generated in the church for? Why are the churches not paying tax? They build schools/hospital with poor peoples money from tithe for the rich? and so on and so forth. Act 13:45, "but when the jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming." What caused the envy above? the prosperity of the church of God and its happening again right now. Some will tell you there are christian, but know better now. Philippians 1:15, "Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife;and some also of good will:" not every preacher is a true preacher. Neither is anyone with the title pastor a true pastor of the gospel of God. For those who stand with God, they shall see the salvation of God when he has turned this envy against his church against these people while making Himself known to his people whose stood by Him (Ezekiel 35:11). 4. HATRED The church is too careless. The people are taking their simplicity for a ride. Proverb 14:15, "The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going." Proverb 22:3. I have always advocate that every christian be a student of the word of God to avoid being deceived (Psaml 119:130). The world/devil hate the church and he will do anything to bring her down. even if it means becoming a pastor to achieve this the devil will do it. We should always look at the big picture. What is the reason for this? |
THE GATE OF HELL AGAINST THE PROSPERITY OF THE CHURCH OF GOD Zechariah 1:17, "Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of host; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. The church of God doesn't spread through poverty but through prosperity. If so, how then do prosperity come to the church of God except through increasing the sources of our tithe and by stopping the devourer from afflicting us. The major reason while some are against tithe is because they are against the spreading of the word of God. There are other reason I will speak on later. Psalms 35:27, "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. God doesn't have pleasures in people against his righteous cause. People who sees the spreading of the cities of God as evil. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of those who diligently pay their tithe for the spreading of the cities/churches/gospel of God. They will always shout for joy and be glad because they favour God's righteous cause and not that of their pastors. Those against the paying of tithe are against the church of God. But I decree, they shall not prosper in the name of Jesus Christ. |
THE BENEFITS OF TITHING It is erroneous to believe that giving your tithe will bring you blessing. No! Tithe is meant. 1. To bring increase from that where the tithe came from. The pocket from where your tithe comes from is meant never to get dry as a tithe giver, because it is from that pocket that the house of God (where the priest that receive your tithe dwell) is meant to be sustained. By the tithe Abraham paid, he was immune from being defeated in any war he will go into. 2. To stop the devourer from devouring your possession. No one is wealthy whose goods are constantly being preyed upon. This is the basis of wealth. Tithing is Gods medium of stopping all forms of prey/devourer from attacking your goods. Tithing stop the devourer in all area of your life not only in the avenue through which the tithe come from. Tithe is a spiritual insurance. By that the tithe given by Abraham, he insured all he had against the devourer. These two benefits of tithing when it comes upon a man will make that man a blessing. Malachi 3:10-12. |
THE PROCEDURE FOR TITHING There is a saying that, "when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable". Genesis 14:18-20. Abraham never tithed till he met the priest of God. Abraham took the tithe to the priest, likely to his sanctuary. :18,"Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High." Abraham did not give his tithe to the priest till he was blessed by the priest. :19, "And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth." You shouldn't give your tithe to a priest who doesn't bless you. Tithe are not meant to be given to the poor, it is God's portion that the priest: the representative of God on earth takes on behalf of God. Abraham did not give a tithe of his capital but of his increase. :20, "And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all." Abraham gave the priest a tithe of all the spoil he got from the war not of all the goods he had in his house. If you don't have increase, your not expected to tithe. Your tithe is a tenth of your increase (profit) not of all you have. You are not expected to give tithe from your capital/loss. Tithe is not a bribe. You can't bribe God. |
Sorry I was not true with mine write up, I had to attend to some business transaction. |
Olekumaster:There is always an alternative. Most times we don't see them till we loss what we have at present. Okada has been ban in Abia, Akwa-ibom, Imo states etc for over 2 to 3 years. What did the riders did? they turned to keke. Infact, one of the greatest achievement of Abia State govt. is the banning of Okada. He has saved tens of thousands of live by banning okada in Abia. I know what am saying. But the real fact is, the okada will be banned in major and busy roads. |
Safarigurl:Don't be cowed by oratory, the best orators are not always the best leaders. |
Kaeboy:From your post, you saying we can't find two people who can do well in the leadership of the country in the pair of muslim-christian or christian-muslim ticket among the 150 million Nigerians. Am pretending not to see this, because its an insult to me as a citizen of this nation. |
This type of groups should be encouraged so the govt will not be taking us for a ride. If the govt. knows it will be called to answer for its past, it will sit up. Some people just see a post that appeal to their sentiment and start firing from all cylinder. Do you think the group that brought up this case has not done their due diligence unlike the multitude here that just follow the bang wagon. Let her be nailed corrupt rightly with all the data on the table, that is what the group is asking. |
noblealuu:You have given a judgement as one who was part of the deal. Instead of you to encourage what was said to put a final nail on the Odua saga your here playing sectional/tribal politics. Let the information of her corruption be made public for all to see, not the propaganda we are hearing. This group is right. |
noblealuu: |
MuguliciousMUGU:They want the public to know how corrupt she was or weather she was a victim of regional politics. Till the cat is let out of the bag please don't take side. |
desirewhet:Yes, you can get your visa within 2 weeks. contact me, if your interested. |
THE MAN ABRAHAM It is necessary to look at the person of the man who first gave tithe. Genesis 12:1-4 God had said to Abraham. Abraham had heard from God saying move out of here to a place I will show you. Having told him of His desire to bless him. In verse 4, Abraham departed in line with the instruction of God. The man Abraham was an addict to the word of God. Before it drop out of Gods mouth Abraham has done it. Genesis 17:10, 22-23, God had told Abraham to circumcise his house. That same day after God had left Abraham, he circumcised every male in his house including himself at the age of 99. It is this same Abraham that God in Genesis 18:17-19 saw it good not to hide the destruction of Sodom, citing that for Abraham children to partake of the blessings of Abraham, they must keep the way of the Lord. It is this same man Abraham that first paid tithe. How did he come about tithing? If it came from God, Why did God told Abraham to tithe? |
There is a religious movement that believe that tithing is an old law that should be made away with the entrance of the new law of Christ. I will like to use this medium to bring to light a few things about tithe. The law which we know came through Moses according to the word of God. This law many believe was made away with the entrance of Christ. But Jesus himself who understand the unchangeability of God declared, "I did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it", "whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven". The spirit of God inspired the writer of Numbers to write, "God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? THE ORIGIN OF TITHE I want to let us know that before the law came into being, tithe has already being. Genesis 14:18 and 20, "Then Melchizedek King of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High". "And blessed be God Most High who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all. Before the law came into being Abraham has given tithe. The question is, "how did Abraham came to know about tithe before it came into being?" God had called Abraham out from his land in order to use him as a means of bringing the savior into the world. To keep Abraham on track, God needed to bless Abraham. God made it clear to Abraham that he was going to bless him. This blessing was not going to come the way the people arround Abraham were getting theirs. It was going to come through spiritual principles. The last principle of the wealth God promised Abraham was Tithing. Abraham without prior knowledge of tithe, gave tithe. Abraham was the first person that gave tithe. |
bolaino:Nothing will happen if GEJ wins. Infact, the nation will become more peaceful. |
kevinaduga:That is a better reason why them must support GEJ. For the donkey years that leaders of their extraction lead his nation, they couldn't do anything to alleviate the poverty there rather they increased it by making more beggars than graduates. Common polio they couldn't eradicate, rather they spent their time and energy amputating able body men and women. This must stop, sharia does no one any good. |
diluminati:Must it be mecca or mosque before it will be justified? How many of our past leaders who were Muslims that went to Israel? Do you know how much Nigeria spend every year sending Muslims to mecca? Please respect the religion of the president. Christians did that with all the ex leaders who were Muslims, you should do so. |
hybridtm:How you take know say dem still money? na you coordinate am/ |
jaytee01:You funny ooo. If a mad man slap you on the road try slapping him back if you will not be seen as a mad man. An elder who fights with kids is a disgrace to his family. Amaechi is an attention seeker. |
GEJ because the man came saw all the decay and rut, he went to work. In the mist of insult he set the pace for the economical transformation of Nigeria. From Agriculture, Transportation, Education, Manufacturing etc. In the history of this country, he is the only president who has not lost any sector of the economy rather he is rebuilding what our passed leaders destroyed. |
Chubhie:Did you had about the IBB regime oil wind fall? Where did the money went to? |
Nigeria has passed coup stage, small kids wake up. The world will burn down our military if they try it. |
femicyrus:If OBJ had invested in phone assembling in Nigeria, the economy would have been a lot better. Because Nokia, Samsung etc would have come into Nigeria as most car company are coming and who know we would have moved from phone assembling to manufacturing. |
