Christianity Etc › Re: Father John Chinenye Oluoma: Your Tithe Saves The Needy, You Haven't Robbed God by Lexicon123: 9:48am On Oct 06, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: This is a pure rubbish teaching coming from a Catholic Bishop of gay kingdom.
Where did God order that we should do what this preacher said with our tithe? Nowhere. What God said in Malachai 3:10 is that we should bring the tithe to his house. He didn't say we should branch somewhere else with it.
Yes, the pastor's idea seems like a reasonably brilliant and kind one, but that doesn't make it right in God's eyes. Remember that the way man thinks is different from the way God thinks.
Man thinks it is a good thing to give the tithe to someone in need of it. But where did God say such about tithe? Nowhere. He only said to bring it to his house and from there it is distributed to the needy.
Think of it this way: You are on your way to the hospital with 100k to pay for your child's medical bills. Suddenly you found a needy man. Be honest with yourself, will you give the money to the needy man to the detriment of your child in the hospital?
I can bet you won't. So why do you now think it is right to give your tithe to the needy man? Remember, it is God's money and you have no right to decide how to help God spend it, especially when he gave you no such order.
Look, don't let people bamboozle you weird scenarios like the one given by the preacher. Always stand by God's command. The tithe is his, and the only thing you can do with it is to take it to his house, nowhere else.
They may even use your child as an example, saying what if your child is sick and the money needed for treatment is equivalent to the tithe money you have, which is your last dime.
What will I say in this case? Give that money to God because it is his. At this point many will be kicking against me. Little do they know that they are kicking against Jesus who said...
Mathew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Why do you think Abraham is referred to as a friend of God today? Because he obeyed God by proceeding to sacrifice his son Isaac as commanded by God. He didn't think twice. But people who are not worthy of Jesus are the ones who will disobey him by doing the thoughts of their heart instead of his word.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. . One question please: what would you have done if find yourself in the scenario the priest painted? Would you allow the accident victim die and take your “God-required “ tithe to the church? Or would you save the victim with your tithe? |

I don’t think this is the best approach the FG should have taken. Proscription does not address the problem, it rather worsens it in my view. The tendency is that it will become difficult to track members of the group that hide under the umbrella of the organization to unleash mayhem on innocent people. At least the govt hasn’t been successful with boko haram. Let’s address the issue rather than create more monsters. |

I can relate with almost all the menaces on the list especially: neighbors taking forever to repark and their visitors taking up parking spaces. One of my neighbors requires 15mins to come out of his flat. When he gets to his car, that’s when he needs to pray to bless the car for proper usage for the day. After the prayers then he needs to warm the car (even though he’s not ready to leave the house yet). I would just be cursing in my mind.
I then resort to parking outside until everyone else parks (no matter how tired I am from work), to avoid loosing it one day. |

Many petitions have been submitted to EFCC on several occasions against Oshiomhole and Amaechi, till today EFCC has not deemed it necessary to investigate such petitions.
Nigeria CAN'T make "noticeable" and "sustainable" progress if government officials continue to be stronger than government institutions. I can’t agree more. The fight against corruption will only yield the desired results if it’s truly fair and non-partisan. Otherwise, the opposition and even neutrals will cry foul and the fight will loose it’s bite. |
