komekn: Look in the mirror. It's you who have a reprobate mind. I have only pointed why people do not fear God as they should. They tend to negotiate with God when He gives instructions but would never dare in a satanic frat. You need the Holy Spirit to decipher and decode the word of God. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Matthew 16:17.. Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. |

CrownFemi: Don't you know the bible is cryptic and you need the Holy Spirit to point to you? Have you not read ?

Sister, you have paid your 'tithe'. God will bless you 1000 times more for that act of kindness than if you had paid the money to your church ( so called ).You said its old testament,fine,but why do you say Amen to psalm 23,Jeremiah 33vs3 etc in the old testament,why not discard them also 1 Like |

ptoall: No mind pagans, heathens, atheists and so_called Christians in this Forum wey dey wan always think say Dem wise pass God. Or that they're more selfless and kindhearted than God almighty. In Malachi 3:10, it is clearly written, "Bring ye your tithes and offerings into my store house, that there may be food in my house". If anyone feels he or she is so "righteous" and very compassionate, after going to drop their tithe in a reputable church, they should deep their hands into their pockets AGAIN and go give to the poor and the needy.

Tithe can only be given to God through Church, pastor, prophet. Tithe is not gift. Malachi 3 vs 10. |

Your personal opinion does not change the word of thou Lord. God instructed us to pay our tithes to the church and not to the poor or the needy. You need to know the difference between paying your tithes and giving to the needy. Both operates on different covenants of God and both attract different kinds of blessing. If you decided to give your tithe money to the needy instead of paying it to the church, God will also bless you because it is written give and it shall be given unto you. However, you have not paid your tithe and God may not honor his covenant of tithing in your life. I will advice you to always pay your tithe to the church and help the needy from your personal money. Sister, you have paid your 'tithe'. God will bless you 1000 times more for that act of kindness than if you had paid the money to your church ( so called ). |

I'm so glad a Christian like you is on Nairaland and you were early enough to preach the true gospel of Christ to all the ignorant believers. |

Hi, There is tithe, offering, seed, almsgiving, and free will offering. If you have so much to meet the need of the person and to still pay your tithe, pls do both. However, if you do not have more than enough, to meet both needs, you may give the tithe to meet the need (remember to present it to God in prayer either before or after the act as your tithe) Tithes are to meet the need in the church or the ministry of Christ which is the ministry of Love (loving your neighbors as you love your self and, doing to others as you want done to you) It is written ; Bring ye the tithes and offering that there may be meat [or supply to meet needs] for my house. (Malachi 3:10) May the blessings of God never depart from your life in jesus holy name Amen blink: |

Sister, you have paid your 'tithe'. God will bless you 1000 times more for that act of kindness than if you had paid the money to your church ( so called ). Old and new testament of the bible is there for you to understand time and season. God's word in the Bible has no Old and New testaments. So Malachi 3 Vs 10 is one that should obeyed just like other words of God. I am in full support of the OP giving out the money to the needy because that what I can do 100%. However, you might be wrong in your tithing believe. In the days of old, there were priests and workers who solely dedicate their lives to serving God, and they had to eat from the tithes. Till now, we still have priests and workers that dedicate their lives for service., therefore tithing is still needed. |

id2019:Lol at owing God,.....you can't pay God, the only way you can pay God is giving back or giving to the real people in need, the poor amongst you........ obedience is better than sacrifice........... If you ask why there are so much poverty in the land today, people like you will blame it on Buhari, APC evil party, politicians etc, but will exonerate the pastorprenours that members have been contributing to......... The only reason I should give to that church is in the case I have needs, or for the purpose of the needy, can also get assistant from the church whom I am a member and also contributed to....... But today the game have changed, today every corner you go is a church yet the wickedness/poverty keep increasing.......... |

GlobTrotter: Not a commandment but promise. So what exactly does God's storehouse mean? And what purpose will that food serve? God is not rigid. If you are asked by Him to give ur tithe to the needy, you are better off doing so. No human being is in the position to tell whether this sister in this case has disobeyed God or not. Only God knows. That is why I adviced that she should not make a habit of it but be s sure that she pays her tithe wherever and However God wants it. Simple! |

Tithing as practiced by present day Pentecostal churches is a scam. I am a Christian and I don't tithe anymore. I am not under the law. Check around, tithers are not the most prosperous. There are tithers that are doing well and there are those who are extremely poor. So their level prosperity is not a function of their tithing. Give to God, pay your offerings, sow seeds if led, contribute towards the progress of your church but don't let one pastor dictate to you how you spend your salary. That Adeboye and Oyedepo preaches it doesn't makes it a command from God. The command God gave concerning tithing was to the Israelites and not to us the Gentiles. 2 Likes |

I wish I made the first page so that everyone would see this and read through too. Anyways, for as many as can have access to this: Tithing is a Covenant between God and you. And I must say, after the Covenant of the Blood of Jesus, the second is the Covenant of Tithing. Disobey it, and get the consequence. Many people believe it's an Old Testament practice, but I tell you, it's not. It's a "for life practice". There are certain blessings that will never come to you, no matter how much you rpay and fast, let all the hands in this world be laid on you, they won't come, unelss you obey and yield to this Covenant of Tithing. Let me just leave it there. |

blink: +++ Shouldn't one give as much as possible, in love, to help anyone as the Lord GOD so leads? Alms definition: "something (such as money or food) given freely to relieve the poor" Matthew 6 Do Good to Please God “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ... Are we not to give ourselves in our entirety (not only money) for the service of GOD? "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." - Romans 12:1 To ensure that alms actually reach the intended person/s in need can one not give what one can directly to a person in need instead? "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." - James 2:15-17 |

Brooktrader: When someone tells me that be bible is cryptic, I am careful of them. God does not waste words. Through the words of Jesus, we are clear on what God prioritises-The people. Don't go through such length to justify an untrue point. You should know that if the church organisation fails to do what He wants, God can get it done by other means. So it is not strange for him to permit tithes to be paid outside of the church organisation. I will outline the points I have made in my previous post again. 1. No human being has the right to judge that she has disobeyed God, when God has not said so. You or anyone here do not know if God Put it in her heart to do as she did. 2. The Church is underperforming, But God will not neglect the needy. It is not strange for Him to allow such an act as she did. 3. No one should make a habit of giving tight to do needy as God storehouse is wherever He declares, and the resources therein should be used however he wants. My OP sister does not need to carry the burden of guilt when God has not declared her guilty. And you have failed to show me a commandment ordering to only put our tithes in a church organisation coffers. This is my advice to you God is Not Rigid! He may give you instructions you are not used to. You are better off obeying them even when they are against popular beliefs. Of course it is a given that He would not contradict Himself. I will no longer contribute to this thread! |

Brooktrader:Don't quote what you don't understand, it's a sin....... some of you will see your neighbor or relation dying for as common as a thousand naira, but will rather give to church than to help the dying soul....... you are just a pastor worshippers and not serving God. |

The scripture is clear on tithing and offering Christ also said if you love me keep my word and the word of God is in the scripture. Since I was born I have never seen any giver that lacks Blessing is always attached to giving Giving is a spiritual thing so be wise. Spiritual things are deep to understand If you can't operate in spiritual ways of God,remain in your physical lane and stop misleading others If you are giving to the church,give añd don't worry about how they use it. After all the primary motive of the church is to help humanity. peace.... |
