Go to apostolic faith church everywhere .you will hardly hear about tithe.no collection plates.we pay tithe but you will rarely see people paying their tithe.we have branches in London

The only hope is God.You have seen what man can do.You need not to pack out of the house. What God has joined together,let no man put asunder.The devil has come to attack you home but it left to you to claim your right.Put up courage and fight with last drop of your blood i.e pray,pray and pray.The lady in question will leave the house for you if you can call on Almighty God to bail you out.You are legally married and he belongs to you.I pray the Lord to help in this time of trouble in Jesus name.Amen

You have patiently waited for 28years! But the devil want to open you to attack and kill you so that you go to hell and yet you seem not to know it.Why not ask God to strengthen you during this your periliou time.If you fail in the time of adversity your strenth is small says the word of God.The Lord who has kept you for 28years is still alive.Go to Him and ask for Help.It's only Him who can help you.People will ill advise you but the Lord who knows the end from the beginning will never lead you astray.Pray,pray and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.May the Lord help you in Jesus name. olowolekan@yahoo.com

@PStylist,Thank you my brother.As long as the husband is alive,if you go ahead and marry her,that is adultery and the end thereof is regret,sorrow and pardition.
@FlyboyZee, you dont open your mouth and insult people.If you are a christian you will surely know what it means to marry a divorcee.What will profit a man if he gains the this world and loses his soul?May the Lord open your understanding.

May the Lord open your eyes before you put urself into bondage.A divorcee!You better run for ur dear life.

May God save this country.I experienced the same on October 1st 2011.I boarded a bus going to Lagos from Port.Close to Onitsha,the robbers have mounted road block around to 1am.Before you know it,there were gun shot.I woke up immediately.The drivers tried to escape but the road have been blocked by abandoned vehicles.No where to go.The robbers were warning "if you keep your money,we will kill you .Bring out your money,phone and other valuables".They patiently robbed us and asked us to come out and lie down.It was then that I knew there was problem.To cut the long story short,Policemen on patrol saved us.The robbers fled and after the policemen embarked on seached,One driver had been killed.It was a day I will not forget.But for God's mercy may be I would have been dead. Please desist from night journey.

6 Messages to the Church
Miraculous Healing and Divine Invitation to Heaven

Transcription and Translation by: Ryan LG and Alfred Chia
Introduction:
In May 2006, a servant of God was brought to Heaven to meet with the Lord Jesus and receive a revelation of 6 messages. Brani Duyon @ Efendie, age 52, a Dusun ethnicity. He serves in the Borneo Evangelic Church, Kota Belud, Sabah (in East Malaysia) as an Elder. He had served as Pastor in Melangkap Baru, Kota Belud, and later became the Church Leader at the SIB Bayayat from 2005-2006.
On April 21st, 2006, my wife and I went to West Malaysia to attend the wedding of our son. Unfortunately after one week, I had a sudden stroke. I was immediately brought to the medical centre in Malaya University where the doctor examined me. He told me that there was a rupture of blood cells in my brain and I immediately needed to get an operation.
I was in comma for one week after the operation and in intensive care unit for 1 more month.
There were many servants of God who came to visit and pray for me, including the former SIB Sabah President - Pastor Taipin Melidoi, his assistant - Pastor Datuk Arun Selutan, and also Pastor Michael.
I once dreamed of a heavy rain pouring on me. I interpreted this dream as the answers to the Pastors who had prayed for my recovery. Praise God, with His power I recovered sooner than expected.
One midnight, during the third week of May 2006, I felt very strange. I could not go to sleep, while the other patients had slept soundly. During this time, I had my mind only on Jesus. I remembered in Isaiah 43:26 “Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence." I kept thinking of these words because I wanted to focus my mind only on the Lord Jesus. I could feel the strong presence of God at that time.
Then I started to pray in the spirit. After praying, I tried to sleep again but I just could not. Then I leaned back in my bed. Suddenly I felt as though someone was tapping on my back and stroking on my head. This happened for a while. I felt something amazing flowing into my body. I believed it was a father’s love to his child. I wondered who this person was. When I turned to face him, I was amazed to see that he was a young and handsome man, well-built, tall with a long hair down to his neck. And he was wearing a white dress. I asked him, “are you the Lord that I have been thinking of?” He only shook his head. Then I asked again, “if not then who are you?” At last he started talking to me “I am a messenger from Heaven. Jesus told me to come to you for good news.”
Now I realized that he was the Angel of God, so I asked him, “what is the good news you want to tell me?” He replied, “tonight you will go to Heaven”. Immediately I felt very calm and peaceful even though my body was sick. I felt as if I did not have any pain. I had fully recovered from my sickness the moment the Angel told me that I was going to Heaven. Then I said to the Angel, “I’m ready to follow you to heaven. I can’t wait to see my Lord.”
While we were walking I saw my earthly body was left on my bed. After we walked out of the hospital, I saw an amazingly big and tall horse. “We will ride this horse,” said the Angel. The Angel helped me onto the horse, since it was so tall. Then I asked the Angel, “can we go to Heaven by riding this horse?” The Angel then assured me, “of course, don’t be afraid and worried. Have you read the Word of God about Elijah who was taken up to Heaven by God?” I told him “yes, I read it before. The vehicle that brought him was a chariot of fire, pulled by horses of fire.” “That’s right, and that is one of the horses that we will ride now,” said the Angel.
At first we went slow, but after about 100 meters the horse accelerated to a very high speed and I felt as if we were hit by a hurricane. Then I saw the horse was already flying. We crossed many mountains with ease, flying with God’s power.
Then we reached to a very big field with green grass – it was perfect, with not one dry blade of grass. (Psalm 23:2 “He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water". After the horse stopped, we went down and began walking.
I could see the Kingdom of God right before my eyes. As we were walking on the field, I heard a bell rang. Then I asked the Angel “why does the bell ring?” He said “the bell is a sign that someone has come.”
We continued walking to the end of the field, while the bell was still ringing. I saw a very beautiful house, on its top was a red light, like a traffic light. On this light I saw the number “51”. I asked the Angel what the number meant. He said, “what is your age now?” During this time I was 51 years old. “Then that number is your age, so is your house number too,” the Angel told me. I felt so happy and peaceful to see what God has prepared for me in Heaven. I saw many houses which are already prepared by Jesus for His children who believe and follow Him.
We continued walking to a very huge house, with many people inside. I believe they were the holy people that God have chosen. They were praising God. I saw Jesus was sitting on His throne while all the people were praising and worshipping Him. They praised Him with all their hearts, they danced, they lifted their hands and they bowed to their knees. Deep in my heart I said, “if only people on earth praise and worship Him like this, God will be very pleased.”
I saw many people were crying while praising God. Jesus smiled while watching how devoted they were to worship God. They lifted their hands towards Jesus and Jesus was blessing all of them. After the service finished, Jesus walked among them and wiped off their tears. Then I remembered the verse in the book of Revelation, “there will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain".
The Angel brought me in to Jesus. The Angel spoke to Jesus “Lord, this is the son that You have chosen to come here.” Jesus then said to me, “Great! My son you have come today”. Then Jesus hugged me and it made me so happy and peaceful that I cried. My soul jumped with joy because Jesus Himself hugged me.
The Angel then said, “Lord, I went to His house on earth when he was sick, nevertheless He is now better.” Jesus replied, “yes, I heard and saw what happened to him.” The Angel continued, “during that time, I heard his wife pray for Your help. She prayed: “Lord, help us, please don’t take him now because we are not ready for him leaving us yet.” That was her prayer, Lord.” Jesus then said, “I know everything. His wife is a God-fearing woman. She is faithful to Me and diligent in prayer.” Then my soul cried again thinking of my wife’s faithfulness to God.
Then God spoke to me, “My son, you will go back to Earth, because it is not your time yet to be here. There is a lot of work for you to do when you go back there. You will be very busy to serve Me.” Then I replied, “Lord, please don’t ask me to go back, because I am very peaceful to be with You here. I feel happy to be close to You Lord. Please, I don’t want to go back.”
From His face, I can tell Jesus became disappointed. Then I begged Him for His forgiveness because I had disappointed Him. I said, “Lord, I’m ready to go back to Earth but please help me Lord, give me strength, and take care of me wherever I go. Be with me Lord.” Jesus then said, “yes, don’t worry, wherever you go to serve Me, I will always be with you.”
Jesus had messages for me to bring to Earth. He wanted me to tell these messages to the children of God on Earth. “These messages are very important for them to know”, said Jesus. I was told that I would be very busy getting out these messages. Jesus also wanted me to share my Heavenly experiences to all the children of God so they will be blessed and renew their strength to follow Him.
Jesus spoke to me, “when you go back to earth tell all My children these messages” (There were SIX MESSAGES which Jesus had given to me):
FIRST MESSAGE:
“Tell My children, they must believe in Me with all their heart, their strength, and their mind. Those who are worried and doubtful will not get in here,” said the Lord Jesus.
SECOND MESSAGE:
“Tell My Children, they must be faithful to come to the Church service, because that is the time when I will shine over their faces and they will look for My face. I will be very pleased to see My children worshipping at Church,” said the Lord Jesus
THIRD MESSAGE:
“Tell My Children, they must be faithful to pray, do My will, and live with My words,” said the Lord Jesus
FOURTH MESSAGE:
“Tell My children, they must be obedient to give tithes and offerings," said the Lord Jesus.
(While Jesus was giving me this message, He said “My child, look there” He showed me beautiful houses which are ready for His children. “My child, these houses are ready, I prepared for all My children that believe and are obedient to Me.” Then He showed me incomplete houses. I asked“Lord, why are these houses not yet completed?” The Lord Jesus said “My child, these houses belong to My children that are not generous giving tithe and offerings. These houses will be ready and completed after My children give more tithes and offerings in My House.”
FIFTH MESSAGE:
“Tell My children, they must put in prayer all their wealth to Me for protection and blessing while they are still on Earth, so that when I come to Earth for the second time, they will not be attached to their Earthly wealth. Remember the story of Lot wife,” said the Lord Jesus.
SIXTH MESSAGE:
“Tell My children, they must be ready and alert, because I will be coming soon. Sooner than people expect!” said the Lord Jesus,
(Jesus’ coming is not known but the rupture will surely take place. Lord Jesus will come soon!!!)
While Jesus told me the sixth message, He showed me the sky, it was all clear and no clouds. I saw Jesus opened His hands to Earth and He spoke “I am ready to take My children.” Then I saw many people in white robes flying up in the sky to meet Jesus. They were gathered to the left and right side of Jesus. Many people who believe in Jesus were ruptured. Moreover, I saw all members of many families were being ruptured. I could see the husband and wife with their children flying up towards Jesus. I felt so peaceful to see this sight.
Then Jesus insisted, “look down”. Jesus then showed me the situation on Earth, it was very chaotic. There was no peace on Earth during that time. I saw people were running all over the place and shouting. Parents were looking for their children and youths were looking for their parents.
Jesus showed me the Church in my hometown. I felt so sad, because there were some people who were left behind.
Jesus then said to me, “be faithful to Me. You must convey all things that you have seen and heard to My children on Earth.”
Then the Angel took me to Earth on the same horse we rode before. We got to Earth very fast. Then the Angel took me back to the hospital. While I was looking at my earthly body, my spirit immediately went back into it.
I noticed that my body had fully recovered from the sickness. Praise God for His power!
I remember that when I was in Heaven my body looked like as it did when I was young.

That is my testimony of meeting with the Lord Jesus in Heaven

We are to choose to pay or not.Whether we like it or not,the work of God will continue.Silver and Gold belongs to God.Tithing is God's plan of financing His church.The levite receive tithe and pay tithe.Someone was rebuked by God for not paying tithe in my church.The time to repent is now.

@Goshen.
Well my brother,May the Lord help us.You know what the Lord says in Mal 3:8-10.Mat 23:23.Please ,please and please pray now before this tithing is too late.Where I worship,we dont contribute anything on sundays and we dont talk about money in Apostolic Faith Church.Sorry for mentioning my Church.Excert for while I was in Port-harcourt,no one has ever seen me drop my tithe.I am telling you the truth and nothing but the truth.In new testament,believer in Acts pay all.They laid all at the apostle feet.I am not a pastor but anyone who fails to pay tithe is a robber.

Tithe and offering is biblical.You pay your tithes to God not pastors.You are not to decide how it is used.This tithing of a thing will lead many to hell. Simple instruction from God. if you refuse to pay your tithe, then you are a robber and no robber will make Heaven.If you have any problem as per tithing,please pray to God for guidance.Tithing should be secret.put it in envelope and drop.Write only tithe at the back.The lord that sees it in secret will reward you openly.You wont have the chance to restitute after death.Be wise.

@2buff .Thank you my brother.
The only way to Heaven is Jesus Christ.Whether we like it or not,it is settled.However,anything defiled will not enter Heaven.There is no sinning christian.Is either you are a Child of God or not.If you allow the devil to stain you with lies,fornication,adultery,abortion,malice etc,you will end up in hell.1John3:8.To live above sins requires heart surgery called salvation.Not by raising of hands but heart surgery with the Blood of Jesus Christ.You may raise your hands ten times and still live in sins.Heaven is a holy place for overcomers not for those dead in sins.May the lord opens our understanding.Amen

Congratulations Baba.People just open their mouth and talk anyhow.May God forgive us.You have forgotten the the devil is moving like a roaring lion seeking for whom to devour.You want devil to set him up and the media will put forth all their lies so as to tarnish his image.The Lord our saviour will keep Baba kumuyi till the end whether the devil likes it or not.Happy Married Life.

What a glorious day it was when I was washed with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.It was on 20/40/2003 at Apostolic Faith Church in Elioparanwo village,Port Harcourt.The Lord set me free from the bondage of lucifer.What a joy that filled my heart and the boldness that replaced fear.I shall be 7years in the Lord this year.
What can wash away your sins
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit pleads with sinners to come to Jesus.God says as "I liveth, I have no pleasure in the death of a sinner but that a sinner should turn and live".Holy Spirit will plead with sinners till they die.Since they (sinners) refused to listen to the Holy spirit,there is no remedy and the result is hell fire.Therefore the sin against The Holy Spirit is to refuse to listen to the plea of the spirit to come to the living God.

How did this evil topic gets its way into the Nairaland.The moderator should audit the topics being posted .Jesus is alive forever.He came,died for our sins and ressurected gloriously.He is coming as a  judge May the Lord forgive all who have posted lie about Jesus.

The problem is not with tithe but with heart.We give to God not to man.Mat 23:23 came from the Lord.You are struggling with ten percent while some are paying 20percent or more.May the Lord set you free.

If this posting is true,then one thing comes to mind.The end is near.He who thinks he standeth should take heed lest he falls.

The story I narrated happened in my church.I am not a pastor but a believer like you.If you pay tithe, do you pay it to me?But as far as I understand and know,tithe is compulsory.Pastor bakare may not agree with other pastors on the topic and he has not the final say.The Bible is our guide and not pastor Bakare.I just shared someone testimony.Why are there doctrinal diffences since we all use the same Bible.Let's leave the matter to God.As many are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.Now an assignment.Let us forget all we know about tithe and go to God in prayer for direction.Whatsoever God tells you please mail me and I will do likewise.May the Lord help us.Amen

my email is olowolekan@yahoo.com.Mail all your facts to me.May the Lord bless you as you do.

Well, all can say for now is to let you know again that tithe is not optional but compulsory.All you have read from Holy Bible is not enough to drive the point home.,se.The problem with you is that you need to be washed with the blood of Jesus before you reason like Him.I quoted from  both old and new testament to suport my points yet your heart could not take it.Anyone who fails to tithe is a thief and is robbing God.A thief will not get to Heaven.
A christian woman failed to tithe for some month and she observed the sales was decreasing and later no customer patronised her.She went to God in prayer and God spoke ''You are a thief,you have been robbing me,so so date you sold this and this, where is mine'' She repented and restituted and her business came back to life.We are serving a living God not graven image or carved wood.Tithe is not optional.God bless you as you restitute.

Well what esle can I say if people have made up their mind to remain in darkness.You read about tithe in the Holy Bible and rejoice not in this holy word but reject it.Anyone who does not tithe is a thief and is robbing God.Jesus,our redeemer never condemed it but coroborated.Who abolished it?It is your heart which loves darkness more than ligth.
I remembered what a christian experienced some years ago.She stopped tithing for some months and God closed her business(Nobody patronised her goods and her business was on the verge of collapsing).She went to the Lord in prayer and God told her that she is a thief:that so so date you sold this and this you didnt pay your tithe.She owned up and asked for pardon and promised to restitute.She did any everything came to normalcy.
We are serving a living God not graven image,carved wood or an idol but Lord God Almighty.
Tithing is not optional but compusory.May the bless you as you read.Amen

Mat 15 :8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mat13:14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them
It's sad that people put themselves in darkness despite very close to the ligth.You read it yourself from the Holy Bible and yet you cannot understand.You better repent and ask for mercy.Tithe is not optional .Anyone who does not pay tithe is a thief and is robbing God.This is the word of God.

Mal 3:8 says Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Anyone who fails to pay tithe is robbing God and such a fellow is a thief and a thief will not get to Heaven.May be this topic finds its way into Nairaland so that those who are in this condition can restitute their ways.After death,there is no another chance.Pay your tithe and God will bless you.In new testament Mat 23:23 ,Jesus says Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Hebrews 7:2 and To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace ,and 4;Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils

Amodu should not be sacked
1.He qualified Naija 4 SA2010 One of his mandates
2.Eagle reached semi-final
3.covenant is intact.NFF entered covenant with Amodu and Amodu has kept his part.

Where does it say 10% of your money?
Omar, read these please
Genesis 14:20
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Genesis 14:19-21 (in Context) Genesis 14 (Whole Chapter)
Genesis 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee
Leviticus 27:30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus 27:29-31 (in Context) Leviticus 27 (Whole Chapter)
Leviticus 27:31
also Mat 23:23

The problem with the so called xtians of today is that we dont know how to tithe.Tithe is 10 percent of your money cleverly put into an envelope and sealed.You write tithe at the back of the envelope(not your name),then you drop into the tithe box or your offering basket.Tithe should be secret and Our heavenly Father who sees it in secreet will reward us openly.It's when you are not genuinely born again that you find it hard to tithe.Your heart must be cleansed/washed  with the blood of Jesus .There are many fake xtians today who are yet to be washed,such people will pay tithe and will not get to Heaven.If you are not Blood-washed forget Heaven.

What you people dont know is that the target given to Amodu was met and as a result the covenant still holds.NNF should not sack Amodu.If they do,Nigeria will be disgrased in SA.Take it or leave it,God is watching.

After Obasanjo asked Yar adua to take the path of honour and resign,the U.S,Europe and other meaningful nigerians follow suit.What people dont know is that Nigeria in under bondage of the devil.Until God sets her fre ,she will remain in utter darkness.Except we lift our voices unto the Most High, there wouldn`t be deliverance.The Lord is ready to deliver us but we are not yet ready for deliverance.Until,we acknowledge our sins.No one is exempted.The prayer of one righeous man availeth much says the Holy Lord.Elijah prayed on behalf of Isreal and God heard him.The people of Nineveh repented on hearing the impending judgement of God and merciful God forgave their sins.The only solution is that Nigeria should humble herself.


If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

We are admonished never to despise small beginning.I started work in 2004 with 8k in one private school in ogun state.Later,I got another one with 13k and to the glory of God,I earn over 80k now.Be determined and put your trust in God.Ar of the flesh will fail you.Promotion cometh not from the west,east or south but from God.It`s only the lazy ones who will always shun an opportunity to work.
