Whatever you don't understand,ask questions or keep quiet.
Solomon offered 1000 burnt offerings to God before God appeared to him in the dream and blessed him.
God is not the only source of wealth; you can get it Babylon way and face the consequences.
But God only blesses people as long as you are loyal to his kingdom.
Seek ye 1st the kingdom of God and it's righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you.

So if I don't give God 1000 burnt offerings today, will he bless me?

TITHING IS A SCAM AND TITHERS ARE FOOLS

IF YOU LIKE TITHE THE WHOLE WORLD....IT WON'T GET YOU INTO HEAVEN NEITHER WILL IT GUARANTEE YOU ETERNAL LIFE

JESUS NEVER PAID TITHE NEITHER DID ANY OF HIS DISCIPLES

Michael547:
Are you saying that God does not have a name? Has he not yet revealed it to you?

A Christian would not ask another Christian the name of GOD. If you were seeking him in spirit and in truth, then you would know this. He informed someone in the Bible that he is the I Am that I Am. If you are genuinely hungry for him, he will feed you.

kuntash:
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 if spread Gods word these days especially over the internet.
You condemn tithes and offerings and expect the structure of the house of God to be maintained and fixed by who ?


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 his promise of God in blessing 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!

We're no longer under the law but under grace. is that not the essense of protestantism? So why do Pentecostal pastors cherry pick certain laws and insist the others are discarded
Any church that insults the Catholic or orthodox church for practicing using candles and blowing incense yet go ahead to insist its congregation pays tithe is a business venture

Michael547:
Explain the principle of money......is Nigeria economy bad because people don't pay tithe? Yes or no?

Why would you relate the economy of Nigeria to tithe?

Obedience is what God said and not even the tithe itself but you are here spewing thrash.

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.

Oga, drop this matter. Tithing is important, but it has no relevance to whether you make heaven or not. Giving alone does not guarantee wealth. You must work, engage in income generation via exchange of high value skills, products and services.

You are an adult with a brain. Jesus is coming soon. Focus on your salvation and prepare for His coming and stop channelling your attention to an unproductive debate.

He is clearly jealous of the great riches those fake pastors have especially as he does not have it and it is only on nairaland that he has his church members.

And he cannot collect tithe here so as to be rich like those people flying private jets and building, their own personal information airport. Clearly Oyedepo's airport is paining him to his soul.

Solomon was a pauper compared to Mansa Musa

Means you don get small sense

You talked about the principle of money.....are you saying that if all of us in Nigeria pay our tithes, the economy of Nigeria will still be bad?
What is your point exactly?

What would you say about psalm 83:18 in the screenshot below? Do you believe that is God's name?

Kindly quote a verse where the bible say that tithing is important in the life of a Christian.

Tithing builds once faith. Tithing had build my faith in securing good job.
Tithing can't make u go heavens but tithing support the ministry of God to move forward.
Tithing is optional, DONT PLACE UR MIND IN TITHE FOR EVERYTHING TO WORK FOR, THATS IDOLATRY. DONT PUT UR MIND IN TITHE BUT IN GOD

If you will not pay
I will continue to pay and GOD'S faithfulness is ever sure on my life

So if a politician or a celebrity partners with a church, does that mean that they are paying tithe?

Afobaba33:

You can continue to pay.....those who do not pay have God's faithfulness and blessings in their lives.

ugo227:

He became world's richest long before that. That's the point.

This tithing of a thing should be personal conviction irrespective of what is being said. If it you are convinced you pay it,if you are not, do your religious practice.

Who ever said tithing will make someone rich? Is Elon Musk rich the same as King Solomon's? King Solomon's riches were material riches ....Elon Musk's is abstract. I'm a billionaire..... I'm worth $1.5B which I have in stocks and Crypto Currency....... you have land and gold worth $5M .... who is really rich? Kanye West is accused of making an anti Semitic remark and overnight he's no longer a billionaire. Let's stop getting carried away by the likes of Musk and Gates and Zuckerberg whose names are always on the tips of our tongues.

Urgent1Million:
Religion survives on threats of an imaginary place of suffering for doing (or failing to do) certain things.
I wonder which God will create beings, loves them so much that he sacrificed his ONLY son for himself to forgive their sins. Yet that same loving God goes ahead to create a place of eternal fire that'll burn his lovely children who commit sin. The same sin that God washed away by sacrificing his son.
What a lame story!!

omo see reasoning,well don't die a sinner ooh.you better repent and do what God commands. Imagine ordinary government builds prison for criminals, murderers, kidnappers etc this people that commit this crimes are people born in families just like every other person.but goes to prison when they commit. Let assume someone kidnap and killed you even after paying Ramson and after the person die without repentance.you see him in heaven,won't you think God is wicked. imagine if all murderers kidnappers are not sent to prison.imagine if we all live together with them even in their crime.think

This tithing subject has been Overflugged. Keep your tithe if you feel otherwise. It will still not amount to sin if you don't pay tithe and become another Elon.

The bottom line is that you don't want to pay tithe. Just do as you pls

So why will a loving God burn a wicked person forever for a crime he did not commit forever?

Op You are misunderstanding the sponsoring thought to Tithing.

The same promise of Tithing in the Old testament still lives on till today. God's words always come to pass.

Tithing cannot take You to heaven or hell.
It is part of giving to God but on a different dimension.

Most of the richest men in the World are mad givers, giving attracts blessings, so does given directly for God's work. King Solomon You mentioned is a massive giver.

I have a friend who owns one of the biggest eateries in Ado Ekiti, the gee gives 30% of his Monday morning sales to a particular Church that's taking care of an orphanage home.

Giving attracts blessings. It's a Natural phenomenon. How then can You see Tithing which is given directly for God's work has never made anyone rich??

If I give God 5% of my earning, will God bless me?

If you give money to idol worshippers, to shrines, to JuJu makers, witch doctors, will you go to heaven?


If you offer strange fire God did not ask for will you be spared?

Do you think God accepts what he doesn't ask for or what he doesn't want, did he accept Cain's offering, did he accept Saul's offering?

Solomon was a man of sacrifice like his father David oga

Michael547:
Do you mean that if God destined me to be rich before i was born, I can still be poor?

Yeah. The will of God isn't automatic, you have a role to play.

And say to Archippus: "Take heed to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."
(Colossians 4:17).

Pay attention to the bolded. It didn't say that God will fulfill it for you.
It said, that you may fulfil it.
Not everyone becomes what they're destined to be.

Michael547:
If I give God 5% of my earning, will God bless me?

Yes as long as You dont do it with the intention of Tithing. Tithing should not be less than 10% and mind You it's not taking you to hell or blocking your blessings if You don't pay tithe.

It's all about Giving , Givers never lack, now pit your mind to giving directly for God's work.

Don't focus so much on the message of Tithing. It is for your WORK with and for God, this will not originally take You to heaven.
Keep Your total focus on Your WALK with and for God, na this one be koko.
