While I was in Uyo Akwa Ibom State,I know of a church who don't receive tithe and offering or any thing concerning money from members,but instead the wealthy among them contribute money,go to market and purchase food item for the needy among them
This was how the early church operated

Which church?

Why are there too many churches in Nigeria?

Number of registered churches for C.A.C don pass number of Nigerians.

Runaway from that place. Its not biblical because the bible ask us to give. You can't stop the members from giving. That's end time church.

TemplarLandry:

The covenant blessings associated with tithing and seed sowing are also forbidden to come near them.

Wise Christians tithe and sow seeds.

Good morning Pastor.

it's biblical. You cannot pay tithe to a non-levite who's not an orphan or widow

Lolz
Day play
How do u now finance the church budget?

Pwettylinda:


Nigerian pastors can't live without tithes so I doubt this

Just dey play

What if he got personal business that brings him money then decided to be using his money to fund church activities. Or you think everyone is poor?

The church might not continue to operate like that if the founder is old and died because his children or anyone who will take over might not have financial power to operate like founder

Imagine thinking it is a display of wisdom to be a gullible sheep.

This is where you will be found lol. No one, I say no one is more RELIGIOUS than you are.

Mention anything religion. You will find this moniker. Lives for religion either way you to want see it.

Thief! They’ll soon run you pulpit robbers out of your spiritual money-making scamming business.

Simple and Beautiful.


They emphasis on the covenant of tithing is now detrimental. Why? They emphasize it even more than themost important covenant on pulpit these days. Imagine a pastor doesn't know that tithes of fruits and farm harvest can be collected? A member opened it and church begin murmur. But the confidence he was using to preach Malachi was something else.



In Acts, it was free giving which is way way way even bigger than tithing. God sees the heart that's giving and not the %


That's why Ananias and Sapphira were punished despite how large that gift was. If it was today, the MoG will pray for Sapphira and use her as example to ofher women, sometime, ignoring the Holy Spirit (that's if they have)


The church population was over 10,000 people. They didn't even have private donkeys but it was recorded that not one soul lacked anything that they needed.


Do you know what it is for 10,000+ to not lack anything in an assembly today?


We tithe and keep tithing and emphasizing it and barely any church can replicate that Act of the Apostles.


Mammon rules today anyway. One wonders what the fathers of old gave that made God bless them soo hard.


You can tithe, but remember this little info about the NT style and try to replicate it with a pure heart.

"I gave God 6m that's why I'm the wealthiest pastor today" is phariseeism. That's not how to motivate God's People. He doesn't need your money to advance Kingdom Business before it functions. He needs hearts first and reliance on His promises.


Till then sha.

I agree that tithing is no longer a new testament command . I don't condemn it if you can observe ALL the conditions tied to tithing where it's is observed and for as long as it's not implied to mean the tithe is cash.

Giving, collection for the Saints, on the other hand can be cash and must never be by compulsion. Rght from the day of Pentecost when the first church gathered and started in Acts 2, it is on record that giving was part of the items of worship from the examples in the early church.

If you give sparingly, you reap sparingly and if you give abundantly, you reap abundantly for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)

I understand their objective, I agree that it's an exercise that can help people a lot, turn people towards what they preach and this may be because they have a strong root in NGO works but the Church has a different calling and Giving is an item of worship. Every healthy church must observe it. The Church is the ground and pillar of truth (1 Timothy 3:15). Ire O! Olorun a ri ejo da.

Giving is different from tithing, giving is an act of love or charity but most pastors make tithing so compulsive that they would even scare you into giving it by every means.

Giving has been in the new testament to the church which is the distributed to the believers( the priests) who may have needs. That is true giving. Even the Lord said: in as much as you did it to these little ones of mine, you've done it unto me. Even in 2nd Corinthians that paul the apostle talked about giving, it was to believers.

Sounds more like an IDP camp than a church.

Forget long grammer...read comprehensively..

Location of the church pls

Heretical.. I believe tithes paying and offering in the new testament are scriptural. However if this church thinks it isn't compulsory, why ban it altogether? Why not just say it is optional in their church? So people who wish to voluntarily honour God with their money are estopped by the church authorities

Church Inc. is a lucrative business.

Get a few dimwits together, put the literal fear of god (and their children, colleagues, friends, neighbors, inlaws) into them, and you'll cash out like crazy.

Just remember to make sure they're terrified of everything and everyone around them, especially Muslims, and guide their feeble minds to believe you've superhuman abilities, and your revenue will grow.

Finally, I found a Church to fellowship and worship God.

Find out the meaning of the word "antitheist"

They say no tithe, but are silent on gift. At the end of the day, something will still be collected.

It is indeed how the early church operated but it did not end well.

When you create a socialist/communist system where the rich supply for the poor, no one has an interest to be rich.

What you have as a result is rich people claiming to be poor and hiding their riches ( Ananias) and poor that are unwilling to work hard to become rich.

Why work hard when it is easier to wait on the riches of others to be distributed to me?

Hence it did not last and did not end well.

End time church, the likes of freezer will be a pastor here.

Those they want to train, who will bankroll them?

Nothing bad in giving tithe and offering, so far it's not by forcing congregants and if such offering is truly channel for growth of the church and not for pastors to use it to foot their affluent lifestyles.
