Bro stop been misled by the devil,Bishop Oyedepo himself pays tithe ,paying tithe in church is not same as paying to ur pastor.[b] Men of God are custodians of God's treasures, what they do with it is no man's business.Are u the one that called them?
[/b]They are answerable to no man but God so stop asking what they do with tithe, that is left for God to question them if they misuse or embezle them.As long as i agree there are business men on the alter who called themselves to that business of collecting peoples money in the name of tithe and offering, but that does not make u discredit the commandment of tithing.If u have not been tithing b4 now, i encourage u to locate a bible believing church and start paying ur tithe frm today and watch how God wil make u a living wonder

How many tithes does Bill Gates pay? How many tithes does Mark Zuckerberg pay, Jack Ma, Richard Brandson, Donald Trump, Elon Musk...Oprah Winfrey, Micheal Jackson...?

I know you people like to equate tithing to success.

Same tithes that is paid to God's work is same tithe pastors will deep their hands into to buy expensive items while giving workers peanuts( work of God).

Why aren't these churches building vocational centers for members to acquire skills for free? Why? Why? Why?

Every program organised are designed to get more out of them...

I have no problem with a pastor being rich but there should a LIMIT. Yes, a LIMIT. Oyedepo's wealth is forking too much... damn too much for man whose wealth is in heaven according to the bible. That money is enough to build research and tech hubs.
Stop being sentimental and call a spade a spade.

MrRhymes101:
Cost of running the church nko? Maybe it's just a charity organization.

paschu:
Abraham's payment of tithe was recorded once in the entire old testament. This implies that he paid his tithe voluntarily and by God's leading - just like when he sacrificed Isaac. It was not compulsory. Tithe did not become compulsory until the conquest of Canaan and the formal institutionalization of the Levitical Order and Aaronic Priesthood.

This Levitical Order coupled with the Aaronic Priesthood, was put aside by the death and resurrection of Christ. So there is no more need for daily burnt offerings and animal sacrifices. No more need for the PROFESSIONAL priesthood. This is actually why Paul said that he would rather die working with his hands than depend solely on the Church for survival.

Thus I found it curious when you claimed that Tithe is meant for the Church. Can you please prove that assertion scripturally without going out of context?

Please note that I am not in anyway asking anyone to stop paying tithe. But please take this from me, and write it down somewhere. What the Pastor in the OP is doing is the future of the church. That is the ONLY WAY the Church can survive the coming global Anti-Christ movement and large scale uprising against ALL FORMS OF ORGANIZED RELIGION.

The KIND OF PRACTICAL SACRIFICIAL LOVE which this Pastor is proclaiming now is the Church's LONE ticket to survival in the coming years. And you can take that to the Bank.

One more thing: The Pastor made a profound statement when he said that he cannot teach people that they have to bring money to church BEFORE God can bless them.

Friend that's the root of the matter. The idea that you have to STRUGGLE to EARN God's blessings for yourself is the biggest favor the Church is doing the anti-Christ spirit. As times goes on, Science and humanistic advancement in knowledge will make most of these things easily accessible to ALL with little or zero efforts. This commonalization of the so called blessings will make the current teachings of the Organized Church lose its present appeal. In fact this is already happening. And this is what the anti-Christ will capitalize on. The only counter we have is the message of PRACTICAL LOVE (which the OP is proclaiming) and making sure that the Church people start using their minds and embracing real education.

Again, the only thing that will prevent the rich, weak or poor church members from embracing the lure of anti-Christ is a timely eradication of the spirit of Selfishness (which is the root of greed and every other evil) and prompt enthronement of the CULTURE OF PRACTICAL LOVE - just as the first disciples did. This is why Jesus said that the only way the world would know that He is with us is when we love each other the way he had loved us and died for us while we were still sinners.

The Church of the end time will congregate in tiny circles of influences at homes, work/market places and in the streets. It's not going to be at the cathedrals and huge auditoriums as usual.

Professional priesthood is already loosing credibility, soon it will lose influence.

“The Holy Spirit is leading us and we don’t want people to believe that they must bring offering to church before they are blessed, no. If I give offering in the church while a woman close to me is dying of hunger, what have I done? As a Christian, I should not allow that woman to die. The God who created the woman won’t be happy with me if I packaged an offering to the church while she is suffering,” the pastor said.

Tithing has been a miracle for me ever since i began tithing.


Well. I made a vow to continue to pay my tithe if God should give me a job in that particular year..

Just exactly one month after i prayed and made the vow, i was called by the HR of one reputable company.

The rest is history

Abeg which Olympic sprint record did Kanu break running away?

It's time for Nigeria / Biafra to challenge Usain Bolt. We would insist on "Ab0ki" instead of the start gun

petra1:
It's rather a kingdom principle . Same as tithes and offerings and prayers

Exodus 22:28
28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

What about the scripture above . Is it for Jews



Abraham our father through whom God brought the revelation of tithe wasn't a Jew

SoniaUK:
God have mercy. Thank God for safe trip today ooo. Some drivers can be so reckless and refuses to take simple corrections. Today while I was travelling the driver was speeding so recklessly and overtaking all the tanker drivers early this morning. But I kept telling him to take it slowly but he never listened to me instead he increased his speed with a very bonny and strong face. I was so scared altru the journey but thank God we all had a safe trip. Even tanker drivers where equally warning him. Some drivers are possess. Please always pray for drivers before you travel even though many of them that died today still prayed for journey mercy. God please we shall never die young in JESAUS NAME AMEN. I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST.

madridguy:
Yes I stand with the removal of the 1999 PDP Constitution to milk the national treasury.

I thought it was just coincidence till I noticed that she has been avoiding to give me her friends number cos my friend had been disturbing me for it. When asked how he would deal with the vulture, he said he would use pillow to cover her face or make her face the wall.

Goodlyhrt:
Brothers and Sisters the story of my life since I stopped paying my tithes since December of 2014 has been one of disapointment, constant job loss, hardluck, improvishness and want.


This is no joke o I've ignorantly suffered depression even close to ending my life cos of this issue even close to abandoning my faith cos I ve prayed and prayed and I feared God has abandoned me. Bad news here and there I stopped going to church long time ago and for three years now things has been so bad for me.


I was having discussions with my mum this night on this issue of fruitlessness then she asked me 'when last did you pay your tithe?' and that was my turning point, I broke down in thoughts and I've now found out that I've been my own stumbling block all these years, just this nite.


Oh! How many years I've wasted cos of disobidience, negligence to obey Gods instruction and sin.


My mum told me that its remedy is to start paying my tithe asap and I've made this decision even though I earn peanuts buh I wil endeavour to pay my tithes regurlarly

streetzdreamz:
maybe just maybe, but I heard he was avoiding a bike man who rode against traffic, the truck was stationary by the road side......but the fact is, it was caused by human error as rightly said.

malware:
These guys are not Nigerians, they're from the land of The Rising Crime. They want to develop Cambodia by fire by force.

Bidobado:
Utter BS. Jesus himself said I did not come to CHANGE the LAW or the prophets, but come to fulfill them. The law is the word of God as stated in Joshua 1:8, 2nd Maccabees 3:48.so please stop peddling your pentecostal crap as if God is some software who updates himself based on human demands.

sharpwriter:
Teach us how to use social media as a weapon to better the country and demand for our rights? people are indeed willing to learn.

OP won't answer u ooo! But NQ suppose be number 1 on that list tho

wink2015:
NYSC programme should be scrapped.

If Nigeria is restructured politically may be to 6 geo-political zones, the NYSC programme will die a natural death.

Although, the NYSC programme is not directly responsible for his death. However, it is exposing most of our graduates to the hazards of road accident as a result of travelling here and there.

Come to think of it, after the one year of national service, the school leaver or graduate so to speak is faced with unemployment as he or she can not find a lucrative job to keep body and soul together.

Our leaders are just deceiving us especially this socalled ONE NIGERIA system we find ourselves.
