i have never pay tithe before in my life but i do listen to messages on how this is a way of attracting supernatural blessings from God. this year has been very hard on me and i decided to give tithing a chance which as at now i will never stop paying tithe.

i have a problem of having a track record of how much i make weekly and monthly because i am a freelancer so money can come in anytime, anyday.

tithing has helped me reaslise how much of money has been coming my way and how much i make weekly and monthly because once any money comes in now, i will have to jot down the 10% and by sunday i will transfer them to the church account.

Brothers and sisters my october tithe was 24k meaning i made 240k last month.. i am still amazed because i at the end of every month i usually dnt have any money saved in my account but now putting aside 10% of every income has opened my eyes and i just want to thank God for this great revelation.
When you pray do not pray like the pharisee and scribe....lol. keep your tithing information to yourself. It is between you and God. I do not believe in paying tithe because it is not scriptural. If you choose to have a covenant with God to pay 10 percent income that is a vow and completely different from a law. I do no criticize ppl for paying likewise I warn them also not to criticize me. My relationship with God is personal.

I feel this scripture will help those who believe in christian tenets not be dissuaded by negative talks

1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

While paying your tithes also remember the less privileged or the orphanage one's around your vicinity,
I think those physically challenged too needs assistance, you can reached out to them too.

God be with you now and always.

This is same thing I have been saying but people don't get it. You'll see a neighbor starving, u will ignore him and then take the money to dash a certain pastor who lives in affluence

I was expecting a different end to your write up.
If I understood your point right, the only benefit you highlighted here is the fact that tighting has given you an insight about how much you really make in a month. This doesn't translate to you experiencing higher yield post tighting.
You started off like you were going to tell us about one dramatic change about your earnings following adoption of tighting.
In my opinion, you haven't really said Anything worthy of giving what you claimed any consideration, rather you have only succeeded in enriching your pastor at the expenses of your income.
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:14pm On Nov 05, 2023
The tithe is to GOD, offerings and givings to service others. Most interesting is if you give GOD what's HIS, HE proves HIMSELF faithful to you. But you must give your heart first to GOD, if not your tithe will be meaningless to HIM

Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:16pm On Nov 05, 2023
The tithe is to GOD, offerings and givings to service others including yourself. Your tithe insures your blessings; you're telling GOD you see HIS blessings on your life and you appreciate it. Most interesting is if you give GOD what's HIS, HE proves HIMSELF faithful to you. But you must give your heart first to GOD, if not your tithe will be meaningless to HIM. Now you know first hand. So it's not about what who preaches, but more about proving your trust in GOD by giving HIM your life FIRST
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:18pm On Nov 05, 2023
Unfortunately, as against your assertion, HE is not giving his tithe to man but GOD. HE is fulfilling his own side of the bargain. GOD is not man that HE should lie. If the pastor gets wreckless with what is being given, he will answer to GOD.
Righthussle:


This is just funny. You're not only happily enriching another man but also deceiving yourself into thinking it is beneficial to do so.

I suspect you're a pastor trying to get more people to give tithe

Tithing opened him up to financial responsibility, he found out the reason he was always making loses. GOD works in different ways; HE said HE will rebuke the devourer. The devourer in this case was his unaccountability.

While GOD may not dump him, if he follows after things, he will not trust GOD and still run into more trouble
Dtruthspeaker:


Truthfully, yes.

People are not taught to fear God and neither do they real eyes that God is greatly greatly to be feared. And that even though He is very patient, He still expects us to do our part in the relationship with Him.

And, He has told us what He expects from us and of us and what will happen if we obey/disobey Him.

So I am just trying to warn him what things he should expect for He is not the first to pay tithes and have a blessing.

We are supposed to go through the eye of a needle so how can anyone expect it to be easy?

So, I am just trying to let him face the plain and hard Truth that he may decide whether he truly wants to follow God or that he is just following God because he wants to prosper where God will definitely dump him even faster than lightning leaving him shocked and pondering what happened just as others before him.

People think that God was joking when He Said "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Like 9:62

Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by imagrg(m): 2:23pm On Nov 05, 2023
After exploiting others to make gains, you take 10% of it to the Pastor who buys private jets with it while members of the congregation suffer abject poverty!
This is what the musician, Max Romeo called in his song, Stealing in the name if jah.

The crux of religiosity is as Jesus summarised it, "Do unto others what you would want done unto you!"
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by redsun(m): 2:23pm On Nov 05, 2023
It just made you more calculative and wasteful with your money.You can put that ten percent away in a one-year fixed savings account,and at the end of the year, you can invest it in something tangible. Even if it means buying good and unadulterated food for yourself,
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:24pm On Nov 05, 2023
Ot will shock you to know Elon tithes. He sure won't make noise about it, but follow his family tradition. See, these things don't really answer to religious expressions. They're normal ways of life that needs no announcing like we do in this side of the world.

Jealousy? Really? Jealous of who? The guy wasting his money via tithes?
I’m in my mid forties and haven't tithed a dime but I'm way better than my tithing colleagues and siblings. Matter of fact I loaned my tithing bro money last week.
Who does Elon Musk pay tithes to? Or Gates? Or Buffett? In fact, in the top 10 richest Nigerians, how many of them are Christians, never mind tithe payers.
These guys are just too dumb for me
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:27pm On Nov 05, 2023
It's not about rewarding people. Se, paying your tithe without giving GOD your life first is a total waste, and will amount to nothing.

Gates pays tithe ooo, big time, he's a Jew and the Jews practice tithing systematically without noice. It's a normal way of life for them.
You shifted the post saying "Matter of fact I loaned my tithing bro money last week.
Who does Elon Musk pay tithes to? Or Gates? Or Buffett?" Are these about God rewarding tiithers? No.

Thus, let us all reap whatsoever we sow. No one asked you to tithe.
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:29pm On Nov 05, 2023
Paying tithes,is not buy force, it's personal with your GOD. Non obe should cajole another to pay tithe. It's not another's business.

Just say you're a pastor and you want people to pay their tithes.
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:33pm On Nov 05, 2023
Very wrong,The United States is the country with the most billionaires, with a total of 724 billionaires. China is the country with the second-highest number of billionaires, with 698 individuals.

Paying tithes does not absolve you from failure if your wreckless. Like the normal sowing of seeds,you don't show useless, spoilt and bad seeds and expect a miracle. Neither do you sow good seeds and refuse to attend to your seeds to care for them and expect a miracle. Tithing or not tithing, responsibility is key.

The highest number of billionaires in the world are in China. They never went to church nor pay Tithes.

...park well.
What u don't know can harm you?
The op is a Christian, a believer and a child of God.
A single sickness can destroy ones fortune...but as a child of God...he can remind God of his commitment to His word and kingdom and God can chase away the sickness..

It's in the scripture.....

Don't discourage him.

So the GOD that created heaven and earth is the one that you think your tithe and offerings are going to?

Sorry to say that is not true. Your tithes and offerings are going to Daddy G O who has started a church and wants to use your monies to maintain the earthly organisation that he has set up for himself.

Also, your tithes don't ensure blessings, your hard work does as well as an element of being in the right place at the right time.

You want to appreciate God's blessings in your life, pray to him to thank him for them. Pray anywhere, as you are walking on the street, as you are driving your car.
Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:36pm On Nov 05, 2023
While that is true, GOD used his tithing to awaken him from financial wtecklessness, remember the blessings are in different ways.

Funny enough, even what he had was not looking enough, all of a sudden, he could account for it, inst that a miracle. You think it's normal right. Go andcheck many people with fat salary checks that don't know what they do with their money or can't account for it

Re: What Changed After I Started Paying My Tithe by prizeless(m): 2:47pm On Nov 05, 2023
Do you doubt GOD or question HIS authority? How can you give to someone you don't love?

Malachi 3:10
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in MY house, And try ME now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.


It's either HE is a joker, or HE means what's HE is saying. But HE is only talking to HIS Children, HIS family not everybody.

If you don't believe in tithes, that's ok, you don't need to practice what you don't believe in.
