A Nigerian has emerged the best of his class and he should be celebrated whether he went to Yale ,
O.A.U or Mexico is not the issue.
We Nigerians should learn to unite and celebrate our little pockets of positive achievements and project them both internally and externally.
I live in a neighborhood where even High School valedictorians,salutarians and best graduating students from local school communities are featured in their news media.The students,their families and the community as a whole are congratulated for raising and producing those outstanding young individuals.
ABC features ordinary individuals who has contributed positively even in little ways to their commuinities as person(s) of the week.
I believe nigerian media houses should take a cue from this and begin to feature achievements of ordinary people accomplishing extra ordinary things or simply making a positive contribution to the community.If it generates enough momentum the international community would be forced to reckon with the fact that Nigeria is not only home to the negatives but that good and positive things does exist and come out of Nigeria.

You can email me at support@jesarmyventures.com,we would be glad to help you source for one in the U.S.A,pls state your budget and full specification. My Nigerian representative would be in contact with you to sign a legally binding contract once an agreement is reached between us.

@ Kuntash,
Please note that there are several factors that influence the price of a car-its history, the wear and tear or the grade of the vehicle which ranges from 0-5,0 been the worst and 5 been the best (even though the year/options may be the same) and its overall condition both aesthetically and mechanically, so each seller decides or fixes their prices based on what they feel is a comfortable profit margin on their investment and the buyer decides if what they are paying for is worth their money or not.

So when you compare prices pls make sure you are comparing apples to apples,a salvaged vehicle or one that has an accident history or lower grade can not command the same price as one with a clean title and of a superior grade.

As per the 2001 Sienna, it is an LE model with a leather interior,clean carfax record and a price tag of 1.55m,it is definitely one of the most reasonably priced on NL given its overall condition and features, seeing the vehicle personally would convince you.
Anyway if you an interested in any of the vehicles give me an offer that I can not resist, I am willing to negotiate. 

Regards,
Jesarmy

I would like to thank everybody that has made their contribution so far on this issue of giving the bible says iron sharpeneth iron, I would implore us to please be open minded and be respectful of each other as we make our contributions.
Having said this I would like to point out what my post so far has tried to establish is that while it is true that 10% tithing is not mandatory for new testament believers, it is also unscriptural to suggest that giving to the Lord through our local assemblies should be done away with.



Like I pointed out from Acts 4:33-37 the brethren sold their properties and brought the prices of the things that were sold to the apostles feet, it is very clear from the scriptures here the sequence of events -there was first of all giving, followed by  a gathering at the apostle’s feet and lastly the distribution to the needs of the saints. So essentially before there can be a distribution, giving and collection has to occur first. I am a little taken aback by  Kunleoshob ‘s allegation that I support churches who amass wealth to themselves at the expense of their flocks, if you read my post carefully this is what I said about them just in case it skipped your eyes here is the quote[b]“as for the shepherds that has turned the Lord’s house in to a money making industry and amassing empires for themselves at the expense of the Lord’s flock,God would surely visit them as He did visit Eli,his sons and king Saul,let us look beyond them knowing that our service is unto the Lord and not men”.[/b] So my brethren consider my post in its totality before you draw your conclusions,as touching the issue of giving when you give do you consider your giving as a spiritual service unto the Lord or as giving to the pastors or to the physical church building or simply a philanthropist gesture to your fellow human being? Personally I see my giving as a service to honor the Lord.

Here are some reasons backed by scriptural references why we give to God in the first place:

The Lord requires it as an honor to Him (Proverbs 3:9) and God called who do not give their offerings to Him robbers- Malachi 3:8, yes we may try to wiggle out of the tithe issue as not new testamental but that verse of scripture also mentioned offerings PTL which is what is required of us in the new testament right?

Proverbs 3:9 (King James Version)
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

Malachi 3:8 (King James Version)
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.


Secondly we give unto the Lord for the sustenance of His ministers and the expansion of His kingdom.

1 Corinthians 9:8-10 (King James Version)
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.


1 Timothy 5:17-19 (King James Version)
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Thirdly we give unto the Lord in order to minister to fellow saints and to support the weak.

2 Corinthians 8:4
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
2 Corinthians 8:3-5
2 Corinthians 9:1
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 Corinthians 9:1-3
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Now the problem is that some have tried to emphasize the third reason alone while neglecting to affirm the first two, no matter how they try to argue it the scriptures can not be broken and the word of God stands sure for evermore.

For those who are sincerely passionate about the needy brethren in their church and  community, their contributions should be on how we can ensure that the money that is brought in to the church is used to service the needs of the poor in our churches and communities at large as admonished by Paul.(Galatians 6:10)

When there was a problem of distribution to the needy in the Acts of Apostles the problem was not resolved by calling it quits with giving but rather a committee of elders full of the holy ghost was appointed  by the Apostles to see to the daily ministration of the needy in the church .Acts 6
This I believe is a peaceful step in the right direction that can be brought to the attention of church leaders who might be failing in distributing to the needy in the church.   



In a nutshell, though I am definitely not happy with the way ‘some so called men of God’ profane the Lord’s offering and amass wealth to themselves while their congregation languish in poverty, it would be contrary to the scriptures to counsel  people to stop giving to the Lord.
I would appreciate more positive contributions from believers based on scriptures on how we can ensure that our churches are more involved in meeting the needs of the poor, since this indeed is a critical problem in some churches today.
Shalom,
Jesarmy

@ladygaga,Aby theone and Olaadegbu,
Thanks for the word of encouragement,the seed  has been planted,let us continue to water it with prayers and may the Lord of the harvest give the increase.

Jagoon:
@jersamy
Before you quote the scriptures out of context too much, kindly note that 90% of teachings on giving in the new testament was directed at giving to the poor and NOT the church as is being errornously being preached today.
Can you please provide the new testament scriptures you used in your data analysis to justify the statement above.
You are also guilty of half truths. Even going by your half baked post only the widows mite qualifies as giving to the church by today's standards.
If you read my post carefully you would see that your assertion above is false Acts 4:33-37  tells us that the brethren brought the prices of the things that were sold to the apostle's feet which qualifies as giving to the church by today's standards.
So I would suggest you be a good christian and emphasize on the focus of new testament giving as taught by christ and the apostles.

The last statement above refers-
Good suggestion that is what I have embarked upon by  starting this thread in the first place! .
Now the next step would be to look at how the distribution of the things that were given were made and who/what they were supposed to service,so be my guest and please stay tuned .
Shalom,
Jesarmy

Giving in the New Testament
Fellow believers on NL,
I feel compelled to write on giving in the new testament because of the following reason I  see that while we are being told that tithing is not new testamental the whole truth about new testament giving is not presented and that is quite worrisome to me. If we are sincere  about the issue of giving in the new testament we should not just  present the picture that believers are no longer bound to the 10% tithe while we neglect to teach the whole truth of what God expects of believers regarding giving in the new testament.
By the grace of God I have tried to address the issue of giving in the new testament in this lengthy write up (pls.bear with me):

Firstly,let us examine what our Lord Jesus Christ has to say about giving from the following scriptures:

Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:37-39

Mark 10:21-22
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Mark 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:
Mark 12:42-44  42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
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: 
44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
From the foregoing it is clear that The Lord requires of us 100% of whatever we own, the poor widow was commended by The Lord because she made the 100% honor roll( Mk 12:42-44). Jesus asked the rich young ruler to do same but he could not rise to that standard but went away sorrowfully.( Mark 10:21-22)

Secondly let us examine what the early believers practiced after Christ’s earthly ministry from the scriptures below:
Acts 4:34
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Acts 4:33-35 (in Context) Acts 4 (Whole Chapter)
Acts 4:37
Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Acts 4:36-37 (in Context) Acts 4 (Whole Chapter)
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold……….(Acts 4:34)  And Joses……,  having land sold it and brought the money ,and laid it at the apostles’feet ( Acts 4:36-37) wow another 100% honor roller .
Yep it looks like the early Christians were following the way of the widow who gave all her living,  that is all were giving bountifully unto the Lord, giving at the 100% cap, probably a very plausible reason  we could not find the apostles teaching the believers to give the meager 10% tithe because guess what the early Christians understood they were suppose to go above and beyond the 10% tithe.
So God does not just require our miserly 10% tithe PTL cos we are no longer under the law right!, we are in the dispensation of grace where God owns our all and His standard of  the freewill offering is our 100%, this Christ commended as exemplified by the poor widow (Mark 12:42-44 ) and this Christ also recommended (rich young ruler, Mark 10:21) during His earthly ministry and this is what the early believers practiced as narrated  in  Acts 4:33-35  and Acts 4:36-37.

Now the question is if God expects 100% of all our income is this practicable giving the fact that we have to take care of other basic necessities of life ?(I bet that was what the rich young ruler thought too and that is why he went away sorrowfully and could not trust the Lord to take care of his need).I believe this is possible depending on the frequency of  such type of giving and how God directs our hearts, the examples that were given in the new testament of those who gave at the 100% cap did not specify the frequency with which a particular individual gave at that level but it sure left us a principle and guide to follow.This is where we see that giving unto the Lord is a spiritual thing and we know that as many are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God. Ananias and Saphira did not quite understand the principle behind this type of giving, they saw everybody dropping the full price of their houses or landed property and wanted to fit in to the 100% club while their heart did not release the full price,they were judged instantly and stricken dead for deceiving the Holy Spirit.(Acts 5:1-10 )
Paul’s admonition to the Corinthians help sheds more light on how we should give - that we should give as we have purposed in our hearts cheerfully(2 Corinthians 9:7)  however Paul did not just stop here the preceding and latter verses admonished us to give bountifully, not sparingly and to abound in every good work of  which giving is a part. (2 Corinthians 9:6-8 )
Let us be sincere with ourselves what does bountiful and to abound means:is it giving at < 10%, at =10% or at  >10%? if I invest in some businesses and I made 10% profit on A, 20% profit on B and 50% on C and 100% profit on D. Let us be the judge which one of this businesses has brought in a bountiful profit?
Scripturally speaking as new testament believers we are no longer bound by 10% tithing but let it be also known and proclaimed that God has left us a principle that should be our guide when we give: God owns our all not just the sparing 10% tithe, he wants us to understand that the 100% of what we own is His. So when you do the math as you purpose in your heart to give remember Christ’s standard is 100% and Paul’s admonition is bountifully.

Bottom line a heart that is fully surrendered to the Lord would not find it difficult to surrender the totatily of his/her pocket when The Lord demands it and a heart that is truly committed  unto the Lord and His work would give bountifully and cheerfully unto the Lord not of necessity and grudgingly.

A heart that is Christ centered would understand that his/her giving is unto the Lord and not unto the pastors or physical building where he /she drops his/her offerings.

A heart that is fully surrendered unto the Lord would not be so worried about what some so called Pastors are doing to the offerings to the extent that he/she would no longer give and go contrary to the word of God.( Luke 6:38 )

Please let us take a cue from Hannah who still believed  Eli as a prophet despite being wrongfully called a drunkard by him, I guess in today’s world some so called “believers” would have reigned abuses on the prophet for being insensitive to the spirit of God, PTL it was the same Eli that God used to answer Hannah’s prayer because Hannah saw beyond the prophet and knew she was dealing with God. (1 Samuel 1:19-21, 1 Samuel 2:20-22 ).

Take a cue from Samuel who continued to serve under Eli despite Eli son’s atrocities and his complacent attitude towards them,did God eventually judge Eli and his sons-yes he did! And Samuel was made priest in his stead.

Take a cue from David who would not lay his hand on king Saul because Saul’s was the Lord’s anointed,  David saw beyond king Saul and had respect for the King of Kings and His word. God eventually honored David and Saul was judged by God.

So what is the conclusion of the whole matter my dear brethren let us purpose in our hearts to give bountifully unto the Lord of that which he has blessed of us with and as for the shepherds that has turned the Lord’s house in to a money making industry and amassing empires for themselves at the expense of the Lord’s flock,God would surely visit them as He did visit Eli,his sons and king Saul,let us look beyond them knowing that our service is un to the Lord and not men.
God said categorically vengeance is mine,I will repay saith the Lord (Romans 12:19) and remember the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.( James 1:20)
Let us beware of the half truth heretical doctrine that recommends against the 10% tithing but does not teach us the whole truth of Christian giving which is to abound in giving as exemplified in the new testament.2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Shalom,
Jesarmy.
