immortalcrown: This is 100% Correct if one wants to do it directly or If he knows that he Church has an Active Widows/Fatherless/Orphans/Poor/Needy/Elderly/Stranger/Dispossessed Persons Programme they can give to that Programme and also support the Church ministry in other well defined area's where one can see the immediate evidence of funds going to help the Helpless I don't give my funds to Ministries/Churches were i can see the immediate socio-economic benefit going to the following groups mentioned here according to scripture |

DodadaKoKigbe: 1 - The first Country mentioned in Scripture is Ethiopia 2- Moses Married an Ethiopian Woman 3 - Moses Wrote the First 5 Books of the Scripture in Amharic & Hebrew, Amharic is the Official Language of Ethiopia 4 - Ethiopia was the First Country to Make Jesus of Nazareth Way of life a National Belief System in 60AD 2000 years Ago ie the State Religion 5 - Ethiopians were counsellors in the Court of Israel Kings 2900 Years Ago 6 - The Oldest Scriptural Bible in the World with Old & New Testament Writings is the Ethiopian Coptic Bible that has 88 Books 7 - King James of England translated the English version of the Bible from the Ethiopian Coptic Text of Amharic, Hebrew writings in 1610 8 - Ethiopia is the Only country in the world that has never been ruled by outsiders or conquered or colonised And with all these facts would you still call Christianity a Foreign Religion to the continent of Africa when Europeans only recognised it officially 1000 years ago Israel grew and became a Nation in Africa with 2 Tribes Mannaseh & Ephraim being of of the Sons of Ham as Joseph married the Priest of On Daughter Asene so their are definitely Black Israelites Asene is a common name among Ethiopian-Somalians... You need to post with factual basis and not just comment because you can |

Jennyclay: The NYSC should not be scrapped. It should be reformed and improved. Its intentions and are good. National Unity, Cross Cultural Awareness and Social harmony and Economic Development. USA has the [b]Peace Core for their Graduates [/b]and different states in the USA have their Graduate Service Programme Same with the UK and other European, Developed Countries. People calling for the Scrapping of Youth Service are advocating the dismantling of the State. Not a God Idea. People need to think before and look at the Geo-Political and Socio-Economic Consequences before the advocate such a reckless idea... |

Abraham Tithed to in Genesis 14 .....so its not only for the Nation of Israel.... |

43Ronin: The Church in Acts 2 Showed the Perfect Community that was the Fulfillment of the Law..they Took Tithe and Offering to the Ultimate Perfect level....Do Churches do that today? NOOOO.....So they should start at the Basic level which is below Deuteronomy 26:12 “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, Deuteronomy 26:13 then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. |

obyrich: Old Testament - The Tithe is a Practice that God instituted since Adam and was practiced by Abraham before the Law was given to Moses and was practised by many Old Testament Saints. Its a Heavenly Social Security system that is in place on earth because of the fallen nature in Man on the earth. |

43Ronin: They Practised tithing in the community as Jesus did that and said the poor you will always have with you... See scripture below to see their socio-economic practice.... Acts 2:43-45 New King James Version 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and [a]sold their possessions and goods, and divided[b] them among all, as anyone had need. Acts 4:31-33 New King James Version 32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. |

immortalcrown: That's true a Person can take 10% of his salary or business profit and take care of the Widow, Fatherless, Strangers in his own Family first and those around him that are his friends but also churches should pool their tithe together and do co-op programmes for the widows, Fatherless and strangers - This is the Proper Job Function of Deacons in a church as layed out in Acts Chapter 6 When the 7 Deacons were nominated to take care of the Greek Speaking widows in the Church in Jerusalem... |

immortalcrown: To be honest maybe only 3% and maybe none at all to be honest..so church do PR Campaigns and distribute rich to widows and bring the TV Camera's to film it..WHICH IS 100% WRONG ACCORDING TO WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEWS CHAPTER 6... |

obyrich: Read your Scripture well ....it says exactly in Deuteronomy who the Tithe is for below Deuteronomy 26:12 “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, Deuteronomy 26:13 then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. |

immortalcrown: If a Church in Nigeria Collects N25 Million Naira in tithe every Sunday which is N100 Million every Month, which is N300 Million every 3 Months then they should have a programmer which has The Widows, The Fatherless and Strangers (Migrants or Non Natives) in that Church and Area that are taken care of in terms of Rent, Food Provision, Housing Start up small business, School Fee's etc.. THIS IS WHAT THE TITHE IS FOR AND WHEN ITS NOT USED FOR ITS CORE PURPOSE THEN THE CHURCH IS OPERATING UNDER A CURSE AS THE LORD CANNOT BLESS A CHURCH THAT COLLECTS N300 Million Naira tithe every 3 months and it is being spent on only the Church Pastors-Ministers and for their Family and relatives and friends.. THATS WHY THEIR IS SO MUCH SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA BECUASE THE BILLIONS BEING COLLECTED EVERY 3 MONTHS AS TITHE IN NIGERIA IN ALL THESE PENTICOSTAL CHURCHES IS BEING USED FOR THE WRONG PURPOSE...!!! |

The Tithe is Not Only Old Testament it Belongs to the Lord for the Widow, Fatherless, Stranger !!! Why is it that we refuse to read Gods word in Fullness The Tithe and Offering is what Should be Layed up in store and Given to the Levites for them to distribute to the 1 - The Widow (So that the community is healthy) 2 - The Fatherless (So that the Society is Safe and the orphans don't turn into vagabonds and criminals in society) 3 - The Stranger i.e Immigrants amongst us (So that they the strangers does not turn to vice, scams and illegal schemes to survive economically) 4 - The Levite (Government Workers in Israel) (So that they don't turn to bribes and graft as they had no land as inheritance in Israel) Deuteronomy 26:12 “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, Deuteronomy 26:13 then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. The Church in Acts 2:43-45 & Acts 4:31-33 the Church at Jerusalem practiced the Community Tithe Acts 2:43-45 New King James Version 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and [a]sold their possessions and goods, and divided[b] them among all, as anyone had need. Acts 4:31-33 New King James Version 32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. So this also applies to local churches, this is WHO THE tithe is Primarily for The Widows (Single Mothers Included) The Fatherless (Boys and Girls without a Male Parent in the House) The Strangers (i.e migrants due to conflict, war, persecution, economic hardship etc) The Levites or Pastors (Who should be on a fixed Salary plus free-will offering of People in the Church or they can work/do business part times as Paul and Timothy did) See - 1 Corinthians 4:11-13 So the Tithe is not for Preachers to buy 3 Million Dollar Homes etc if the Preacher has his own business then he can do whatever he pleases with his month but the tithe belongs to the 4 main groups to support them, the Fourth being the Full time minister due to the volume of the church work if its soo large that he has to focus on it 100%. |

We have entered the Prime Cycle of Jesus Christ Return!!! Next 7 Years 2020 to 2026 I am not stating that Jesus is coming in the Next 7 Years i am Stating that his return is soon and this is what i have seen by the Holy Spirit coming in the Next 7 Years. We are Going to See a Gradual Falling away of prominent Preachers and Ministers from the Faith in Jesus as stated in The Book of Hebrews Chapter 6 verses 1-6, 1st Timothy 4 The "2020 Global Social-Economic-State Border Shutdowns" has exposed many things that was uncovered - One thing exposed is that so many churches are run for the Benefit of the Man that started the Church and not for Jesus Christ and the Benefit if His Body which are HIS Church members made up of People!!!. Alot of these churches had no "House Fellowship Structures" set up and therefore their members sat/stayed at home and had no small group fellowship and encouragement for nearly 6 months and most of these Church leaders did not even care or consider to put a "House Fellowship Structure" in place because they are afraid of losing central control of their Church! (Notice i said their church not JESUS CHURCH!) and seeing younger men raise out of those fellowships for Jesus to Use them to preach his Gospel. (Book of Acts Chapter 2 & 4) Next 7 Years - Things to come from 2020 - 2026 1 - The Mega-Large church structure/Pattern is now Over, there will be some large churches but they will be few and rare based on the purity of heart of the Pastor leading that church. The Holy Spirit will start to move on smaller groups and smaller gatherings i.e house to house fellowship and small church groups of 24, 70 & 120 membership to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom according to the Structure of the Book of Acts of the Apostles. People will attend these church which are not more than a 10-15 miunte walk or drive from where they live. Alot of False Apostles and False Prophets will be exposed in the Next 7 Years 2020-2026 If you have not seen Jesus Physically or Had a Divine Encounter with the Holy Spirt from the LORD GOD Most high and received a Blue Print out of Heaven from Him like: A - Apostle Renny Mclean B - Apostle Tony Kemp C - Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa D - Prophet Tamrat Tarekegn E - Evangelist Dean Braxton F - Evangelist Andres Bisonni G - Techer Pete Cabrera Jr H - Evangelist Todd White YOU ARE NOT AN APOSTLE OR PROPHET OF JESUS CHRIST!!! (Revelations Chapter 4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSpeA-RLBKk The Fake Prophets & Teachers will increase and multiply because of the fake churches being run be Men not called by Jesus who have self seeking fame-power-money hungry motives and are filled with pews full of so called Christians who profess Jesus with their Mouth but their heart and daily actions are far from him. Jesus said the way to life in Him is Narrow and Difficult and only a few will find it!!! (Matthew Chapter 7) 2 - There will still be alot of Global Trade but there will be a Strong Move to Regionalisation of Trade ie within Continents (Asia, Africa, South America, Europe) And a Strong Growth in Agriculture especially in Africa and South America. 3 - The Era of Being a so called well known Preacher, Minister, Pastor or Teachers specifically in Nigeria and can be termed African Churches due to the following facts that you are A - A Multi-millionaire Business-Person who "Celebrity Loving Pastors" like to call you to speak in their church for Worldly Profit Connection Sake B - A Former or Current CEO of a Bank or Investment House or Corporation "Celebrity Loving Pastors" like to call you speak in their church for Worldly Profit Connection Sake C - A Former or Current well know Celebrity-Comedian-Actor-Musician "Celebrity Loving Pastors" like to call you speak in their church for Worldly Profit Connection Sake D - Come from a Socially well know family and you desire to be a Preacher even though Jesus has not called you E - Seeking to Preach because of self Enrichment motives F - Seeking to Preach because of Self empowernment for Political Reasons motive G - Seeking to Preach because of Fame and Social Celebrity motive We all come to an End due to the coming Persecution for the "Sake of standing or Mentioning the Name of Jesus" A perscution and social opposition is coming that will flush out all the falsehood and Fakeness from those Social Circles that claim to represent JESUS, that what shall be left will resemble the Born Again Churches of the 1970's and Early-Mid 80's in Nigeria and globally when it was "Holiness Churches, Deeper Life Churches, Scripture Union Churches, Faith and Righetouness Churches" where people never dare claimed to be Born Again as your Life-style was the "proof" to others that your were saved and living for Jesus! (1st Corinthians 1:26-31) 4 - Churches that dont Use their Tithes & Offering for its Original Purpose to Ministering (Supporting) to the LORD Which is the 5 following points mentioned below A - Support Widows-Single Mothers B - Support Orphans-Fatherless Children C - The Poor in the Community D - The Elderly-Old People in Community E - Strangers ie Refugee's or Displaced Persons due to social unrest or conflict in Communities And Ministering to (Supporting) the Saints i.e which is to help the fellow Brothers, Sons, Husbands, Fathers & Familiies Economically to set up their business to provide for themselves - Will find them that they will start to lose membership and will eventually close down! (Acts 11:27-30, 2nd Corinthians Chapters 8 & 9, Isaiah 58) 5a - Churches that have no emphasis or focus on Evangelizing/Preaching Jesus and the Coming Kingdom of God will start to close down. If the Focus is Only Self Improvement, Self Help, Worldly Advancement and no focus of the 2nd Coming of Jesus and his Kingdom and Holiness & Righteousness 5b - Churches that have no focus on the Holy Spirit and the Supernatural move of God rooted in the Character of Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles in the Book of Acts will begin to close down and fade away as the era and time we are coming into is a time when the leading of the Holy Spirit and the life and Character of Jesus on its Pastor or Eldership will determine if that church/ministry survives or closes down. 6 - A 2nd Technological Shift is coming which will start to come into focus from 2025 which will involve more AI (Artificial Intelligence) which is just a gradual return to the Knowledge and Intelligence that existed prior to the Flood that God Brought on the Earth during the Life of Noah which was around 1500 Years after Adam and Eve were sent out of the Garden of Eden 7 - DNA (Gene) Altering Technologies will begin to be experimented with and come into focus from 2023-2024 Onward that will be the coming seeds sown which will end up with the Mark of Perdition of the Beast that was mentioned in Revelation Chapter 13. This will begin with called breakthroughs in technology called "Tech-nosis" or "Techno-ConsciousApp" where data and information can be stored in a persons Nervous-Blood Plasma and retrieved by Cognitive Thought consciousness App. Jesus Said the Time of His 2nd Return will be as the "Days of Noah" what is expressed as "Days" is the Availability of "Light Knowlegde and Sound Communication Consciousness. We have seen that Knowledge speeded up/increased dramatically since the revival of the Gift of the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Heavenly Tongues since the Azusa Street Revival in 1907 with the beginning of Air Travel, Sound Travel and Data Travel, Mass Production, Automisation, Digitisation etc and 2027 with be 120 Years since Azusa Street Revival. The Kingdom of Christ is coming soon with the 2nd Return of Jesus and will effect and change the Following 7 Living Realites om the Earth for Man be it: 1 - Spiritual Institutions ie - Religion be it So called Christian, Islam, Judaism ,Eastern Philosophy 2 - Sovereign Institutions ie - Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of State or International Bodies be it UN, WTO etc 3 - State Institutions ie - Geographical Countries be it Legislative or Political Parties, Groups 4 - Government Institutions ie - Administrations or Ministries be it Financial, Information, Communication of Countries 5 - Economic Institutions ie - Production of Goods/Products be it Food, Tools, Mechanical, Electric commodities-devices in a Country 6 - Social Institutions ie - Delivery of Services ie Education, Health, Roads, Railways, Ports (Air, Land, Sea) 7 - Community Institutions ie - Provision of Housing, Shelter, Family-Group Support ie Church-Associations-Clubs, Water, Sanitation WE WHO LOOK AND ARE PREPARING FOR JESUS RETURN MUST BE FOUND HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS IN HIS WORD IN ALL AREA'S OF OUR LIFE SO COME LORD JESUS!!! |
