Another thread with the sole purpose of discouraging the propagation of Gods word or message.

You use the false teachers or insincere priests as justification, whereas you don't proffer any alternative how to propagate the message.
Go and find out how difficult it is to spread Gods word these days especially over the internet, satellite, TV , radio etc.
You condemn tithes and offerings and expect the structure of the house of God to be maintained and fixed by who or what ? Govt or by cowries ?


DO YOU KNOW WHAT SOLOMON DID BEFORE GOD BLESSED HIM? LETS TRY NOT TO BE AN AGENT AGAINST THE SPREAD OF THE WORD OF GOD

Solomon did far more than tithing, and he also suffered the consequences of drifting away from God's ways despite the promise of God in blessings for his life ...


The wiles of the enemy is quite tough and potent these days , Let Christians be well guided especially when you are quite fresh in the race or considering accepting Christ .


May God's grace be sufficient!

Chucks13:
God bless you. First time I ever agreed with you here.

jesusjnr2020:
The whole point of this topic is that when you tithe, make prayer requests or do whatever you want to do unto God, let it not be because you were seeking prosperity or riches for yourself from God, instead let it be because you love God and were seeking after His kingdom and righteousness, that's the only time whatever you do would please God.

And you know what that possibly means - Ask King Solomon, world richest man that ever lived.

God bless.

When You Realize Tithing Didn't Make Solomon Or Elon Musk World Richest Men

The length to which the prosperity preachers were taking the matter of tithing, one would think tithing has made many tithers, themselves inclusive, the richest men in the world, however that couldn't be any further from the truth, because tithing has never made any man to become world's richest, not even one.

Even king Solomon, the only man the Bible called world's richest, it wasn't tithing that made him to become the richest man in history.

In fact God Himself (who made Solomon richer than all those who lived before and after him) said the reason He gave Solomon such an unprecedented amount of riches, was because Solomon didn't ask for riches for himself, but the things that mattered to God.

1 Kings 3:11-13 (KJV)

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

God bless.

Even the so impostors have made 360 degree you turn about it.


To be wealthy in life, it has to do with God given destiny, couple with how you urself leave to fulfill the destiny.

deeway200:
Tithing is personal. I don't pay it but won't criticize anyone who does. If you believe in it , who am I to stop you and if you don't,who am I to compel you. Do anything that works for you

OriOko88:

Una no wan still get sense for this tithing of a thing. Dem no dey force u to pay now. Infact for church,when I get broke I no dey stand up for my seat during offering time. Nobody go from force me to stand. So what's d fuss!

Tithe is personal,if u like pay,if u like don't pay, Jehovah witness wey no dey pay tithe,dem no dey live? Or living good life? Abeeg
I pay tithe and I'm happy with it. I pay it to God so I don't care if any pastor embezzles it or not. It's my damn money not urs. So shove ur opinion down ur asss Mr Op

Do you mean that if God destined me to be rich before i was born, I can still be poor?

Didijiji:
I tithe and the reason is that church needs money to run, fuel generators, pay workers etc not because of pastors ..

And my church isn’t one of those one-Man owned Daddy Go churches that manages inflow and outflow with wives and children as signatories

Goodlyhrt:
Of course

But don't underestimate the role of sacrifice. I mean strategic sacrifice. They call it investing.

If you want to get riches of the world then you sacrifice/invest

Amumaigwe:
I agree with you that tithing is personal. But the problem is that the pastors are making it seem compulsory and guilt trip those who dare not to pay.

Arrowhead71:
you don’t know anything, so what you are saying is Solomon did nothing, I pity you, you talk of world richest that you don’t know his secret or are you living in same house with morsk even Dagote have secret , as a child of God if you do nothing about God house and kingdom you get nothing , even your free salvation demand that you confess your sin and accept Jesus is lord , anyway Solomon offers 1000 burnt offerings to God , and the second time he offered uncountable thousands of burnt offerings to God again, and that is more than tithe put together, and next he built the first most expensive house for God , so stop fooling yourself that people should keep their money away from God because you are a child of the devil trying to stop the advancement of Gospel , work , it is you and whosoever believe you that will suffer, every rich men have secret

Mrsoft3:
Who ever pushes this to the front page is a tool used by the devil, allow people to do what they belive in.

Who told you Elon musk don't tithe?

Do you even understand the principle of money?

meobizy:
Religion makes otherwise logical men behave no different from women. It is a bane on man’s existence.

Michael547:
Does the Bible teach that the sacrifice must be a tithe?

saintkel:
very true...dis users here can they tell us when pastors said u must pay titthe. ..infact they can preach about it but won't force u to pay

chrisxxx:
Criticism of tithing should stop. Pastors should carry reorientation of their members that tithing these days is not necessarily biblical but a measure to support the propagation of the gospel.
Churches power their facilities and maintain equipped. They pay some hands to do this. They go for evangelism and even run charity. The funds for these can come from tithing amongst others. This is the particular reason I pay what looks like tithing but not necessarily tithing. It is just to support the propagation of the gospel.

Fiscus105:

If you don't leave to fulfill it, it would remain a dream. I mean, remain untapped resources, until you go back to your maker.


So many many many of such untapped resources in the graves, infact, some wandering about in the street.


ESAU A GOOD EXAMPLE IN THE BIBLE.

Goodlyhrt:
I am not in support of giving to rich men when the coarse you in the name of tithe.

What I am saying is that what brings wealth is a form of sacrifice or investment which could be anything. Strategic enough to bear fruits at an appointed time.

Thank you very much!

So if God destined me to die today, can I avoid dying?

Nwaikpe:
You can't promote falshood.
There is nothing like "if you like pay if you like don't pay."
Just like saying, when the issue of "money for heaven" was still reigning, then you tell people, if you like, pay for heaven if you like, don't pay.

It is falsehood, and it must be preached against.
