Brother Frosbel, i am more agnostic than a christian such as yourself, but there are some universal laws that work no matter your faith. I am going to be vulgar, very vulgar in this thread.

The year i moved away from paying tithes and offerings and waiting for God to open the windows of heaven, but rather using that money to meet the needs of my neighbors, that same year i made an obscene amount of money. I have only gone from strength to strength and in less than five years, more like 3 years i have given out about a 100 million naira to the needy.

All those years i spent paying tithes and offerings and waiting for the lord to bless me, nothing happened. Present day christians are so gullible, and are being reaped off left and right by their pastors, it is sometimes painful to watch. The sad truth is that year after year they still remain the same in their finances, or only improve slightly, but most will become poorer because their pastors have collected the little they have. The funny thing is that this same christians will not give that money to the needy but will rather give the money to the church to buy their miracles. No wonder God is not listening to them anymore.

These are the same people that will come to this thread and warn you about stealing from God. What an irony.
