"... And the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better things than the blood of Abel. (Heb 12:24)"

The bible lets us know that blood has a voice and therefore it can speak. God said to Cain, the voice of ur brothers blood cries out against you.

The blood of Abel cried for revenge against his murderer, the bible lets us know that the blood of Jesus speaks better things.

What is the blood of Jesus saying?
When Jesus ressurected, He presented his blood at the MERCY seat of God(not the revenge seat or law seat). Today, that blood cries MERCY, MERCY, MERCY. Mercy for the sinner, Mercy for the sick, mercy for the poor, !!!

Heb 12:25; "See that ye refuse not him that speaks"
What is the bible telling us? See to it that you refuse not mercy, refuse not grace, refuse not Jesus.

Some have rejected grace and mercy and have clinged to law and self righteousness...
Enter into the rest of God!!!

John 5:45. "Do not think i will accuse you to the father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom ye trust."
Amazing!
Jesus said that Moses is the one that accuses- he ddnt say "that will accuse" or "that accused" but "that accuses"!!! Its a present continuos act of accusation. How does this happen? What does He mean by its moses that accuses?
The bible said the Law came by moses- moses represents the Law. The law accuses and accusation accepted brings condemnation.

Satan is called the Accuser! The word satan means an opposer, an accuser. He is ur opponent. Before a man brings an accusation or becomes ur opponent in court, he must be armed with the law. The devil accuses with the Law. But the bible said Jesus abolished the laws and He disarmed principalities. He took away their weapon of accusation- which is the law.

Therefore the bible says and every tongue that rises against you in judgement(accusation), you shall condemn. How? Proclaim to that tongue that Jesus has disarmed the accuser and you are not condemned.

Take note; before the devil steals, kills or destroy, he must first bring his accusations and if you accept the accusations, he will have power over you.

What is the remedy for condemnation? Righteousness!!! Not right doing. Righteousness!!! Have this consciousness and proclamation: I am the righteousness of God.

Jesus said to men under the law "u shall know the truth and the truth will set u free".

Wait a second, I thought that since they were law keepers, they shld know the truth but NO. The truth is grace, u shall know grace and grace will make you free.

Law makes u to tremble and fear God but grace makes u to fall in love wit Jesus again and again. I love u Jesus!!

Someone said "why shld pastors allow ladies that are wearing seductive clothes to enter into the church?"

My answer is, where else shld they enter? The church is not for perfect pple but for perfecting pple. If we dnt allow them, then we shldnt also allow armed robbers, liars, thieves, fornicators, corrupt pple, angry pple, swearers, haters, murmurers etc.

We shld stand by the door of the church and start checking to see if any sinner will enter the church. If sinners have stopped coming to ur church, pack up and go home. Its no longer a church.

The church is not a place for sinless and spotless pple but a place where men are made perfect in d word of God. (Go on tv and annouce that only righteous men shld come to ur church then we shld leave unrighteous pple for the devil.).

That u have perfected urself in a certain area dsnt mean u shld block the road for others to get perfect. We preach grace. Our truth is grace.

Matt: 6:26; ···· behold the fowls of the air, they sow not neither do they reap or gather into barn yet YOUR heavenly father feedeth them...
Matt: 6:27; ... Consider the lilies of the field... Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Amazing, if MY father takes good care of the birds and lilies, how much more me? Jesus DIDN'T say THEIR father takes care of them but YOUR father takes care of them. My father cannot leave me and be taking care of birds and lilies.

He took so much care of the lilies that they were more glorious than solomon in all his glory... Wow!!!
God is mindful of you.
Someone might say, why am i not seeing the blessing then?

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. The kingdom of God is not in meat and drink but in righteousness, peace and joy in the HOLY GHOST.

Enjoy righteousness, peace and joy in Holy ghost and all other things shall be added unto you.

For if by ONE MAN'S offence, death reigned by one, much more they which recieve ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign by one Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:17).

Death reigned unto all men because of one man's offence, not because of the men's personal sins. Death reigned because of the offence of Adam. They which recieve grace in abundance shall reign in life.
The bible ddnt say they which recieve the law or works but they which recieve ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, ( not works of righteousness) shall REIGN IN LIFE by one Jesus Christ.

Do you want to reign much more than death reigned? Then recieve (take a hold of) abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
The devil doesnt want christian's to reign, so what do u think he will attack? He will attack the message of "abundance of grace and gift of righteousness". That is why he attacks the message and preachers that preach grace.
Have u recieved the abundance of grace? Have u recieved the gift of righteousness? Its a gift people!!! U dnt need to pay for it, u dnt need to work for it, just recieve it, how? By believing and declaring that u have the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. If he accuses u, remind him that u have recieved righteousness. If he says that u ddnt qualify, say yes!!! If he says u are not gus enuf to earn it, say yes! Why? It wasnt given based on qualification! It wasnt given based on works! Jesus qualified and earned it, He then gave it to me. Jesus, therefore is my qualification.
Its tym to reign people!!!
If u are reading this and u r not born again, God is not counting ur sins against u but all He says is believe in his son Jesus.
Say these words audibly:
Lord Jesus, i come to u today. I believe that u died for me, i believe that u were buried for my sins and raised for my justification. I recieve remissions for my sins. You are the Lord of my life today. I am born again, i am a new creation. Thank you, Jesus.
Halleluiah!!!!

Prov. 4:20-22; My son attend to my WORDS, incline thine ears unto my SAYINGS... For they are LIFE to those that find it and HEALTH to all their flesh.

I have found the way out!!! This is the way out of cancer, HIV, diseases, infirmities, sickness!!!
The WORD of God is medicine to the flesh. It is life to the body.
Meditating on the WORD shld be our priority, spend time meditating on the WORD.

No wonder when Joshua took over from Moses, God ddnt give him a gun, bullet, amunitions or sword. God simply said to him; this book of the law shall not depart from ur MOUTH... He is talking about MOUTH MEDITATION not just MIND meditation.

When Paul was leaving a certain group of Christians, He ddnt give them money or any physical inheritance but he said; I commend u to God and the WORD OF his Grace, which is able to build u up and give u an inheritance.

All scripture is given by the inspiration of God and it is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be throughly furnished.

Go for the WORD! Let that be ur highest pursuit in life, for the discovery of the WORD is better than diamond and precious rubbies.

I love ur WORD dear LORD.

The law was given by moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ!

The Law was given, Grace and Truth came! Grace and Truth wasn't given!
Truth is on the side of grace not law!

The Law was schoolmaster to bring us to Christ but now Christ is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster, the Law... Gal 3vs24-25!

The law demands righteousness from sinful men, grace supplies righteousness to sinful men!

The Law points u to urself, makes u self-conscious! Grace points u to Jesus, makes u Christ conscious!

Wen Moses came down from the mountain, pple ran away from him, but wen Jesus came down from the mountain, pple sought to touch him.

Wen the law of tablets was given 3000 pple died, wen the Spirit of Grace came, 3000 pple gave their life to Jesus!
Law demanded Holiness, Grace makes u holy!

God has moved mountains, he is no longer on mount sinai, Law. He is on mount zion, Grace!

The Law says if a man is a drunkard, stone him to death! But under grace, the father rushed to embrace the prodigal son!

Under the Law u ask, "am I accepted of the father?" But under grace u ask "has Jesus been accepted by the father?"

Brothers and sisters, Jesus went as the representative of mankind to the cross! He was not a sinner but He was made sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!

If it was possible for a righteous man to be made sin, then it became possible for a sinful man to be made righteous!

He took my place of death, sickness, sin and poverty and I took his place of life, health, righteousness and prosperity!

On that cross of calvary, Jesus said "I thirst"! Why? He was burning up as my burnt offering! My entire life time of sins (past, present and future) were laid on Jesus and He cried "IT IS FINISHED"!

The penalty has been paid! I'm forever saved and forever grateful to my master, lover, brother, Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ!

If u are blessed by this, drop ur comment! Thanks

@Shdemidemi.

The only scripture u quoted is when that which is perfect comes, has the perfect come? Which perfect has come? Yet Paul was teaching the believers on the gifts of the Spirit.

How is there power in d gospel without miracles?
What is it dat the jews doubt today dat gentiles don't doubt?

Jesus said preach the gospel to ALL CREATURE, Baptizing the CREATURE in d Name of Jesus, when they believe and are baptized, they are saved.
These signs shall follow the CREATURE who believe- they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpent, they shall lay hands on d sick and the sick shall recover and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.
These are signs of the CREATURES dat shall believe.

Listen, Shidemidemi.
I have been born again for almost 19years. I have seen countless miracles.

My mum was paralysed at the age of 7, cldnt walk at all. A pastor from a church in her home town in mbano prayed for her and she started walking!

I prayed for a lady in 2012 who had a mental problem for 2 years, and she was healed till today.

I was born with a heart deformity, I cldnt do so many things. It got to a point that I was fainting regularly and was billed to travel abroad for corrective heart surgery, a Pastor prayed for me and I was instantly healed.

Wen my elder broda received the Holy Ghost, He laid on a television dat had been bad for 4 years in my house and it started working!
My Father was like u, not believing in miracles until these things started hapning b4 him, today He is one of the strongest advocate for the miraculous!

While u are there reading obscure passages of the scripture to prove miracles have ended, miracles are hapning everyday!

A challenge! Get me a demon possessed person, and see what the Name of Jesus does!

@Shdemidemi.
U are the one twisting the scriptures! Ur analogy is demonically inspired! Where did the bible say that the signs are temporal?
Where did the bible say that the signs are not for these times?
If the signs are ended then there is no more power in d Name of Jesus. And if so, nobody is saved from sin again, and no more salvation. And therefore Jesus has lost his power or it has faded. The fact that ur mind cannot conceptualize miracles doesn't mean u shld start propagating falsehood!
Jesus said greater works than these shall U DO because I go to my father. How can we do greater works without these signs and miracles.
Ur teaching is offensive and twisted. It attacks the divinity of God!

@ WONDERFUL.
There is nobody that will listen to ur version of Trinity that will not come to d same conclusion as Frosbel though Frosbel is WRONG!

What is biblical trinity? There is only one God. We don't have two or three Gods, No.
We must not look at God with the diminished human eyes or understanding. God is infinite and inexhaustible. God is a Spirit and Spirits give birth thru words. (Bear this in mind while we continue)

There was never a Jesus in heaven before He came on earth. He has always existed as the Word of God never seperate from the Father. He existed IN God. He was the Word of God. He never had a different life from God.

When the fulness of time came, God spoke the Word, the Word was conveyed by Gabriel and believed by Mary. That Word became flesh in Mary. The bible already told us that the Word is God.

Jesus is the Word of God that has always been in God and that word is God.

Remember when He said " ...Abraham, rejoiced to see my day..." And the Jews were not angry but when He said "... Before Abraham was, I am". They picked up stones to cast at him. Why? Is it because He insinuated He was older than Abraham? No.

Its because of a phrase He used. "I am". Jesus ddnt say "before Abraham was, I was". He said "before Abraham was, I am". He made himself equal with God by that statement! The jews remembered that only God ever used dat phrase before to Moses. "Tell them that "I am" sent thee.
Jesus Is God! Read also Philipians 2:6: He thought it not robbery to be equal with God but humbled himself unto death!

Who is the Holy Spirit?
God never leaves his throne! When He wants to do sumtn, "a" personality who is "his" personality leaves his him, God and goes to accomplish that objective. That personality is the Holy Spirit.
He is not less in quality. He is the same with the one on the throne and can be in multiple places doing different things at the same time yet He is not diminished!
The Holy Spirit is God!

This is the manifestation of God in different personalities!

If u guys tell me to teach more, I will teach the main shocker!

Ur subconscious is controlled by what u believe is right or wrong.
If for instance u were brought up in scotland as a man, u will not find anytn wrong in wearing skirt.
If u must keep the law at all, u must keep ALL the laws. U can't choose the one u want and leave out another.
If Jesus died to set us free from one aspect of the Law, then He also died to set us free from all aspects of the Law.
How is God glorified wen ur hair is covered?
Wen he made eve, did he make a covering for her hair?
Some of u dat are shouting cover ur hair, etc, ur churches branch abroad, the women don't cover their hair.
This is a matter of misunderstanding of English language not spiritual misunderstanding.

Nigerians want to feel religious! They want to feel that they have a path to play in the role of salvation!
If Jesus saved u when ur hair was uncovered, why wld he want u to cover ur hair in order to maintain d salvation?

They brought unto him a woman caught in adultery, they told him dat the Law required them to stone d woman but what does He, Jesus say?

But Jesus wrote with his finger on the ground and said after much persuasive inquiries "Let him witout sin cast the first stone"
They left one after the other and Jesus said Neither do I condemn u, go and sin no more.

Wen Jesus wrote on the ground, he was letting them know dat he is dat lawgiver dat wrote the very law they are quoting for him.
There was only one person witout sin, Jesus yet he chose not to condemn her. Why? because the death of that woman will be transfered to Jesus and He died her death on d cross.
God gave heaven's best for earthly worst!

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it (the handwriting) to his cross"... Col 2vs14.

"And he gave unto moses... two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God"... Exo 31vs18.

The bible let's us know dat the very finger of God wrote the Laws carved on the tablets of stones. These laws were against man. No man cld keep the laws, the laws brought man to the very end of himself dat he may realise his need for a saviour.

The Law writer himself, was crucified on that cross. The same hands dat wrote the laws were nail-pierced.
When the nails pierced thru the hands of Jesus, the Handwriting (of laws) were nailed to the cross!

Love has conquered the Law!

Happy Grace Convention all. Beautiful initiative!

@Nora544.
I know him, pls what's ur point?

Sky fall!
What makes u more intelligent than christians? Tell me, just one thing.

We have already judged, condemned and sentenced a man without hearing from him.

All those that claim that christians are not intelligent yet they are the ones condemning a man without hearing his own side of the story.

In all of Ese's 'confession', did she ever mention that she tried apologizing to the wife? After all she sinned against the man's wife and children.
Did she reach out to the wife?

Why is nobody asking the right questions? Or is it because its a pastor and a lady?

I don't care what u all say but this is soooo wrong!
What if, just what if this Pastor is innocent?

Before u all start ur bashing, I'm not a member of COZA, I have never ever met the pastor but I'm a lawyer by profession and I'm trained to look at hard evidence not mere narration.

@YahayaMoses.
Really? The bible said don't practice mixed cropping.

The bible said don't wear a cloth with mixed material- e.g wollen and linen together!

The bible said if u have a rebelious son after u have warned him, bring him to the elders to STONE to death.
Bible said a woman in her period shldnt enter d temple.

Tell me how many u keep out of these.

@ALL. We are in d end time and the attack on d church of Jesus Christ is increasing but will not prevail.
Nigeria has the most indisciplined set of Christians who are emotionally and sentimentally ruled. If u are not trained on d grace of God's truth, u will be swayed by every wind of doctrine.

So u think dat God will stop a woman from entering heaven just because she ddnt cover her hair? This is the type of teaching that make moslems ask us questions that seem to contradict us.

I aslo had previously decided never to comment on d religious section again because pple don't come here to learn. They come to judge, criticize and insult.

The bible said "a woman's long hair is a GLORY to her". Who gave her the hair? God or devil? Who gave her the glory? God or devil? Why wld God want her to cover the glory?

Moses once covered the glory of God shining tru his face and the bible said that led to blindness of the heart of the pple.

The bible said a woman's hair has been given her for a covering!

A woman who "prays or prophecies"(not who goes to church wit uncovered) with her head (not hair) uncovered dishonors her head.

Its telling u that if a woman prays or prophecies but yet is not under the authority of her husband, she is walking in dishonour.

Paul is not asking u to look for any external material to cover ur head because ur hair is already doing dat job!

@Frosbel and Roselyn.
Why are so quick in condemning the pastor? Have u heard his side of the story? Why do u call u man fake dat hasn't defended himself? What makes ds lady a victim?
Frosbel, u carry hatred in ur heart against God's pple and pastors. Ur heart is dark against the church. God hasn't called u to be a church correcter! But to take on social media and start castigating the church, u give occasion for the enemies of God to glory.
When saul and Jonathan were killed, go and read David's lamentation abt them. "....publish it not in gath... Lest the enemies of Isreal will hear it and rejoice. (Paraphrase)".
I don't know where or why ur hatred started but u need purge urself of this!
Why ddnt the lady give dates and years of suppose event? What's d name of the hotel? HOW ON EARTH IS SHE A VICTIM? At what point did she start feeling guilty? What's her motive? Why is it dat nobody is asking these questions? Or is it because its a pastor and everybody is calling him fake?
@Frosbel. Ur hatred has made u judgemental and blinded. Are u now fighting for God? Is God now an idol?

Interesting! Let me state here for clarity purpose, I have never been to COZA, I have never seen d pastor life or heard any of his messages.
For those of u calling this girl a victim, how on earth is she a victim? She is a full adult with normal mental capacity, not a virgin b4 the period of the alleged event, how is she a victim? She has had sex b4 and why is ds causing commotion? Ok, because its wit a pastor? Is she trying to correct him or disgrace him? Let's look at ds story again!
She ddnt give dates, years and d name of the hotel. What year did he meet with her in london? What day? What is name of d hotel? Where is d receipt of the taxi?
I am a lawyer by training and the suppose confession can't stand.
Let's even look at the main thing!
Who has heard the pastor's side of d story? Nobody! All of u are judging a man from a one sided story- which may be true or lies.
She said she has survived a lot worse, betrayal from family etc. Why won't she publish the story of her family betrayal? Let the whole world read it, No. She can't because its her family but she can publish the alleged story with a pastor.
U are not a victim. No wrong was done to u.
I'm talking to guys now, have u ever been in a situation with an obsessed lady before? Have u been in a situation where a lady started crying and others concluded she was right?

Ur posts don't bother me at all. Frosbel, take a poll. Find out how many pple dat stopped tithing since u started ur campaign- NONE!
The pple who are noise making with u are pple who already have problem with giving!
Those men of God are not and will never be bothered with ur write up. After u have come and gone with ur write-ups, they will still be standing! Pls don't stop writing and wait for the day u will hear that they are now poor because brethren refused to give. Never!
I'm only worried for u, u started out in d Spirit but u have ended in d flesh. U are fighting God's fight! He is not an idol, He can fight for himself.
I pray that God shld restore u to faith before its too late!

This is a sentimental and emotional thread! Nothing spiritual at all. Go and find out how many churches have been closed thru posts like ds- NONE! Go and find out how many churches dat have reduced tithe incomes in d their accounts because of posts like these- NONE!
U can only correct someone thru prayer or one-on-one correction!
Stop using worldly methods to correct the CHURCH! Don't bcome the "suppose" evil u are trying to fight! Are u led by the spirit of activism or the Spirit of God!

@LuloLass.
Who told u dat Bishop Idahosa is in hell? That a person is schizophrenic doesn't mean he sees visions.

U are the type that condemns trouser, weavon, earrings etc. Go and Deut. 22vs5-11 and find out u have not started keeping the Laws. Bible said u shld wear a garment of diverse sorts- wollen and linen together. Cotton and polyester together. Bible said don't practice mixed cropping, bible said if ur son is stubborn and u have warned him severally, bring him out to the elders to stone him to death, bible said dat women in their menses shld not enter the temple.

How many do u keep? NO pastor keeps these laws, they just choose the one they like and emphasize on it. Bible said in James 2vs 10; if u keep all the laws but fail in one, u are guilty of all.

Keeping the laws will take u to HELL because the death of christ is of no effect to u.
U asked what temple they are building with the golds- WE are the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit and when we use gold on our body, God is HAPPY!

21st century and ds quantum of ignorance still exist in d church!
If earrings are wrong, wrist watches are wrong, creams are wrong, wedding rings are wrong, clothes are wrong etc.

NOBODY will go to hell for wearing earrings, if not pple will go to heaven for not wearing them.
U pple make light of what jesus did on the cross. If it took the cross to save man, why wld it take earring to unsave man?

God never banned earrings, NEVER! There were specific pple and times he asked them not to wear those stuffs but not because they were bad but because of the type of worship they had. That's why He asked moses to remove his shoes in his presence.

Therefore wearing of shoes must be wrong then! Men wearing trouser must be wrong because Jesus wore gown, moses wore gown, etc.

Jesus said we must worship God in spirit and in truth. If u remove ur earring because u want to worship God, u are carnal.

If u stop wearing earring because u want to please God, u are under the law and u are fallen from grace because u seek to be justified by works and not grace!

That vision is not from God, it doesn't matter how many pple dat see such visions!
Many christians have been deceived by visions because they trust visions more than the Word of God.

I weep for the pple of ds nation especially youths. We have been wrongly educated. We have gone to the "wrong" schools.

A situation that shld warrant us to rise up as one and fight this obvious injustice, we are here fighting and insulting ourselves.

When we ought to be taught tolerance, patriotism, unity, intergrity and loyalty, we were busy learning abt kanuri empire, jaja of opobo, igbo-ukwu, etc and these things just administered hate and tribalism in us.

If this same situation occurred with americans, u won't hear foolish words like "the texans have problem" or "new yorkers are temperamental". Rather they will rise up as one.

We need to go back to school again both to unlearn and to learn.

Some need a 10 year course on manners and use of refined words.

@ Idi amin.
I live on a higher plane and I can't start bantering words with u.

I speak wisdom and I don't understand unrefined words like urs.

#Learn how to make ur points without insults.

Thanks!

@Drake
U CAN NEVER EVER be the president of this country. Go and find out from men who wanted to anihilate christianity from this country, both those who were president and those who intended to be- THEY ARE IN THE GRAVE.
That's y there are men who will never rule this nation no matter their monies and influence.

God has registered ur words in heaven, years to come u will forget these words and seek for a political office but God will never forget and he will remind u that He, Jehova sits on the throne and controls the affairs of men!

With trepidation and holy fear I read the comments and I discover why and how a lot of people will be deceived by the anti-christ wen he shows up.

Men's heart are already hardened against God and his christ. Men now trust the state instead of God.

Someone said, "close the churches, there are a lot of fakes". My question is, are there not fake shoes? Are there not fake clothes? Are there not fake products? Do u then close down all shoes because there are fake ones? Do u go naked because pple are wearing fake clothes?

Where are the nations that built their economy without "religion" today? How is spanish economy today? America started gravitating towards statehood and their economy started crumbling.

Someone said "what of china?" Are u blind? Can't u study history? Where are the soviet unions of those days? Where is the great berlin wall? Make no mistakes abt it, if china continues on the path of Godlessness, they will crumble.

Mark my words, the days of Paul Biya are numbered!

@Frosbel.
I have questions for u. How many hospitals did Jesus build? He had the power as the son of God. How many scholarships? How many pple believed in him thru his preaching? What's the percentage of pple that stopped sinning compared to those that were still sinning? When the woman broke a very costly alabaster box on Jesus, the disciples said this same idea u are propagating now. I dare say, if u were there with Jesus on that day, U wld have rebuked Jesus.
Don't and stop playing God. There are still millions in those congregations who have been changed. Some used to be prostitutes, thieves, murderers, etc and when they met these pastors, they were changed.
You must learn how to distinguish btw doctrinal error and falsehood. Most of these men u mentioned stopped collecting any form of salary from their churches a long time ago.
My local pastor doesn't work in any place or collects salary from anybody or church, some brethren came togeda and decided to buy her cars. We are building a 100 million naira church auditorium and more than half of the church has NEVER being asked to give a single dime.
Get ur facts straight. Preaching the gospel is expensive. Jesus had women who sponsored him financially even from Herod's house.
U are gradually entering falsehood urself by ur supposedly "sincere campaign".

@Christembassey.
Read my write-up again. I made it clear that God doesn't require tithe again from us to bless u. We are already blessed in Christ. Jesus fulfilled the Law for us, the righteous requirements of the Law has been credited to us. So in the sight of God, we have fulfilled the Law in christ. We are not required to keep the Law again! If a man pays or gives tithe, its not because God demands it, its out of the man's choice. He can choose to give any amount to God as thanksgiving and not for blessing.
When Jesus died ALL devourers were rebuked and taken out of the way for us, so whether u give tithe or not, NO devourer can attack again.
Men of God shld stop preaching tithe as a condition but a free will or choice. It is NOT a condition for financial blessing!

Nevertheless, u may rebuke a pastor for making a doctrinal error but u shldnt go ahead to say that He is not of God. What determines that he is not of God is if he doesn't believe in the biblical foundational truths. E.g: virgin birth of Jesus, resurrection, death and burial, Jesus as the son of Man, Jesus as the son of God. Etc.

1stly I must say that we shld be careful how we condemn Pastors and leaders in churches. That a Pastor makes a doctrinal error doesn't mean he is not of God. He simply needs to learn the Word of God more.

Having said that, let's jump right into the Word!
There sumtn called the Law of first mention in the interpretation of the scripture- u have to study the 1st time a word was mentioned in the scripture.

Tithe was 1st mentioned in Gen. 14:20: Abram gave tithe to Melchizedek but dat was after Melchizedek had BLESSED him with BREAD and WINE. Abraham ddnt give tithe because he wanted to get blessed but he gave it because he was already blessed and as a thanksgiving to God.
The bible said the Levites paid tithes in Abraham- the law never required the levites to pay tithes again.
Jacob paid tithe as a vow not because he wanted to be blessed- he was already blessed before making the vow.
What of the popular Malachi? The nation of Isreal had already sinned against God in so many things, using false weighs, offering unclean animals, cheating etc and because of these, the devourer had visited the land! So God told them to repent and pay tithe so that the devourer will go. He ddnt say that if u don't pay the tithe I will send the devourer, No!

Jesus is our firstfruit, our tithe. In christ, we have fulfilled the law- we have paid the tithe just as the levites paid tithes in Abraham.

Abraham gave tithe after he received BREAD and WINE (communion, the gospel, grace), the bible said the gospel was first preached to Abraham. He ddnt give it to be blessed.

Is tithing a law now? No. Is it cancelled? No. Shld a christian give tithe? If he wishes. Tithe doesn't prosper u. U already prospered when Jesus died and resurrected.

A man can decide to give a tenth of a blessing that God made possible for him. A man can make a vow to give a certain if God will bring out of a trouble. Its btw him and God.
Tithe shld never be emphasized in churches or condemn. If the man chooses to give one fifth, one tenth ete, it btw him and God.
Tithing won't make u rich. U r already rich thru Christ!

Let me stop here for now!
