The ECA contains money that should be shared by the 3 tier of government. It should ordinarily be in the federation's account.
I apologise for my post...i completely missed the point..had to read the OP's post all over again...Thank you.
PoliticsRe: $1 Billion: 'Excess Crude account is Illegal' - House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila by ogtavia(m): 1:14pm On Dec 18, 2017
If the ECA is illegal how then does it belong to the three tiers of government...this man just contradicted himself...if the illegality of the ECA goes beyond its nomenclature i.e in practice / operation / disbursement then I believe every point he raised there are pointless...For me i have nothing against saving for the rainy days or for frugal purposes however i am purely against diversion of funds from their main purpose in this case the so - called $1bn ECA funds. Lest we forget, certain oil producing countries have institutions/politicians akin to the ECA in our case ,Norway for instance..

To those who keep saying Abraham paid tithe....

Genesis 14:18-24New International Version (NIV)
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying,

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And praise be to God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.”

1. Mechizedek was a King and also a priest.
2. He brought for bread and wine before blessing Abraham.
3. Abram gave 1/10
4. Abram did not take anything.... meaning he handed everything to the King of Sodom. Meaning he shared all he got from that war.

The point here is that before Abram gave Melchizedek, Melchizedek gave something which is bread and wine.
He wasn't just a priest but also a King. In other words, Abram didn't give that because Melchizedek was just a priest, but a King.
what about the injunction of giving tithes to the levites who were also required to give a tenth of what they receive...they were purely people consecrated to be priests but where not above tithing...Apostle Johnson Suleiman came out the other day saying He has increased his tithing to 15%....He also is a priest who receives tithe from the people of God..look my brother...we must see tithe as not giving to the man of God but fulfilling the Law handed down to us adherence to which will be made easier when our focus for giving is God and not man....What the man of God does with the tithe is between Him and God ...

all the saga on tithing, Bishop David Oyedepo finally speaks on it..says it's the only way to open the doors of heaven, no matter the prayers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajtmCcEq1aA
Indeed the letter killeth, but the spirit gives life...its worrisome that issues like tithing have become a debate among Christians...its no less a sign of the end time..however, what i will not subscribe to is the confusion being propagated about tithing..tithing is a convenant act of the kingdom minded...however, where a Christian lacks understanding, he will be swayed by every wave of doctrine...Christianity is not a mere religion but a lifestyle which is regulated by heavenly rules...even the government of the world imposes taxes on the people however this does not go to say that tithing is a tax imposed by God on his Children....The issue here is beyond teaching the flock about the blessings or consequences of tithing, it is necessary to educate the flock about the true essence of tithing, tithing is essentially sacrificial however God uses tithing to bless his people. This not go to say that when you tithe faithfully God overlooks your fault and suspends biblical principles about disobedience and its consequence....

For me, i am asking God for Grace to be a faithful tither, however, i wont blame non - tithing for problems or difficulties i might go through...For me, i will view non - tithing as disobedience to God with consequences not because i didnt tithe but because i didnt obey...The government will arrest you when you dont pay your tax not because the government hates you but its the law and you became liable because you are citizen under the authority of the government. Make no mistake about it, biblically atimes, tithe was a response to God's blessings, Jehovah through His Prophets urged the Israelites to give a percentage of their harvest for various reasons and at other times, tithe was given for a cause either Charity or towards festivals....There are men in the bible who gave tithes in order to request for God's blessings in their endeavours...

The bottomline is this, it is the intention of the heart that matters, you pay insurance to cover yourself from certain risks,it doesnt mean that what you fear will eventually happen, however, if it does happen, then you have a protection, tithing is not like insurance though, you cant buy God's blessings..If we see tithing as a special package where we receive blessings, testimonies and gifts from God, we will not argue..The fear of people is because of the lifestyle which the leaders of the Church portray which they believe is because of tithe...This is a really absurd belief borne out of unfaithfulness and lack of proper understanding...How God caters for His True servant is not dependant on any man, if God instructs a man to give to His Servants, He does so for the good of the giver.

The problem people have with tithing is because it has been presented as a means of buying God's blessings...It doesnt cost God anything to help a man,however, God wants man to be committed in serving Him, you wont go to Hell if you dont pay tithe but you may not receive the blessings that tithers receive. Now if a man of God says it is the 'ONLY' way by which God blesses a man then it is between him and God...tithing can be compared with Grace which has appeared to all men but which is available in different measures to all men...there are many instances in the bible analogous to tithing, for example Matthew 17:21 "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting"..where Jesus' disciples were trying to cast out a demon but needed a higher committment and power to achieve it...

If there is a place where God placed His might on the line, it is on the issue of tithing and if as a Christian you want to hold God to His word, in the new year 2018, be a faithful and cheerful tither and see if God would not prove himself true to His Word...Shallom
