cutecommend:Many of what you said up there are true, but you may have gotten the definition of prosperity/stagnation wrong. There is a basic principle of sowing and reaping which applies to all, believers and unbelievers alike. If you sow, you reap. But, as a christian, if non tithing is considered a sin, then it is no different than other sins. |

Originalsly:Okay. I can help. Giving to the church is very much a Biblical and godly practice. There's no work of God on earth that succeeds without human inputs. People contributed financially to Jesus' "church." Luke 8:1-3 [1]And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, [2]And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, [3]And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. Judas was the treasurer. He kept the monies people gave. The money is necessary for the work of the ministry. It supports the church and the pastors set over the church. You get? Galatians 6:6 [6]Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Giving to the poor is good! But meeting the needs of the church and those lacking within the church is priority. The church is the means through which God would get His will on the earth done. |

You'll always remain poor if you fail to observe the principles of building wealth, paying tithes or sowing seeds doesn't quaranty your success. |

You're a fool trying to fool others. God did not give any condition to the Levites whom he asked to pay their tithes. The Levites who are the ones asked to pay tithes were promised that which God did not fail to do after they have paid their tithes! Are you a Levite? Why are you fraudulently telling people why they did not receive the benefits of tithing? Stop this scam! You're scamming the people! |

cutecommend:Faith without work is dead. Giving doesn't enrich you. It's a sacrifice. Sacrifices are things you're willing to part with not seeds to expect. If you like give from now till 2100, he who doesn't work shouldn't eat. |

What do you mean by "stagnant"? In the Bible no servant of God is bothered about stagnation {Matthew 8:20} because all they wanted is God's smile of approval but pagans are the once taking this life too seriously as if there is no hope apart from this evil world. So whoever is paying this or giving that in anticipation of achieving material gain from God is deceiving himself because God never promised anyone material possessions in this system of things. To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion along with contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things. But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains. However, you, O man of God, flee from these things. But pursue righteousness, godly devotion, faith, love, endurance, and mildness. Fight the fine fight of the faith; get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called and you offered the fine public declaration in front of many witnesses. 1Timothy 6:6-12 There is multiple material progress in the lives of satanists {Psalms 73:1-11} because the ruler of the world promised to give whoever worships him all what the world has to offer! Luke 4:5-7 So set your mind on the real life {1Timothy 6:19} because all these things will pass away but those doing the will of God no matter their condition materially speaking will have everlasting life in God's new order. 1John 2:15-17 Peace to all! |

cutecommend:This write up is complete nonsense... Don't be deceived people. The so called Christians are the greatest deceivers on this planet. The God I discovered is not transactional and not emotional. He is not a human being and does not need anything from you before he blesses you. God, gives and creates in abundance. Your job is to receive and tap from his abundance. Give freely and don't expect anything in return. Your reward is the joy that comes from your gift. Wealth comes from your hard work and faith in God not from your tithe and seed. |

The basic principle behind any kind of giving is love for God and willingness to submit your finances to his use and direction. That should be the underlying motive. Anything else is slot machine Christianity which does not work. Are you disciplined enough to let go of 10% of your increase as tithe? Nigeria has a lot of poor people. When last did you give someone money or an opportunity that made an impact in their lives? I am not talking of giving N500 or N1000. Even beggars can do that. I went to a government hospital once. I did not believe the number of people who were discharged but unable to leave because they were owing. How many of you have visited a children's ward to pay off the bills of even one child? There are orphanages everywhere and many of them are desperately struggling. How about buying the kids in that orphanage even just 5 crates of eggs for their protein needs? You go to your village. That your village church your parents attended has a lot of old people. How about buying wrappers and distributing to those old ones who attend? Does the building need painting or replastering? That your village hospital that never has any medicines...how about organizing to buy some of the medical consumables there to last a week at the very least? Even in your church, you know there are young people who cannot afford a JAMB e-pin. How about buying this for even just 5 persons? There are so many opportunities to give without having to be coaxed or coerced by a pastor whose intentions may not be right (and there are many in our environment, just as there are good ones too). Do not wait to be asked to give. There are opportunities around you. Never neglect the poor. God said that he who gives to the poor lends to the Lord. In the days of languishing, the Lord Himself will visit such people on their bed of sickness and raise them up. |

Fiscus105:Are you saying that God has destined some people to be poor? Bible said that all what God created was good. No one is destined to be poor or rich. What you do in life will determine if you will be poor or rich. A productive human will be rich while a non productive human will be poor. |

Wow! Great piece! If only the churches would teach this on the altar. If they do, majority members would stop paying big tithes and big donations and this will negate the mission the founders established the church for.. to gather the shepple not sheep. ..and to enrich themselves. Majority of young christians are apparently disillusioned with the faith because they saw through the deceit and lies they were fed by their pastorprenuer. This Op, explains the reason behind a lot of things. |

stagger:why should they give to the poor when many believe that giving is an opportunity to be rich and not to uplift others? giving in the way you highlighted is a waste of time as it has no returns except when they give to their pastors |

Dpaulie:Great post. The problem is, they are not giving anything to God, someone that created the Universe and all in it, what can you give that person but praise and adoration? They are giving to their fake Pastors and Daddy GO who in turn are using their money to floss including sleeping with choir members and buying expensive private jets and the likes. Black African Christianity, all na wash. |

Don't monetize the gospel of christ, giving in the hope of receiving money back is a bbig scam , God is not an MMM scheme where you give and get iit back in 100X. Gove because you are convinced to give and not because you want something for God to do for you that's transaction not giving. You give woth zero expectations |
