cutecommend:If you have sin in your life it can hinder blessings,..., who doesn't have sin in his life in this sinful world? We commit sin almost on daily basis either by words, actions or thoughts. |

tutudesz:Giving has no correlation to wealth and riches, ee gove for the propagation of the gospel and not to get rich. We give because we are convinced our giving will edify the church and uplift souls for christ. Been poor in earthy riches(money) has nothing to do with been rich in heavenly riches(righteousness, salvation, gifts of the spirit, etc). Its bad for pastors to propagate this idea that if you are poor in earthy riches you have failed, that's not what the Bible teaches |

[quote author=damosky12 post=134459017]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. [/quote) U are a liar and a thief. Giving to the poor is much more important. There's nothing like giving to the church. Jesus never built a building or church. Matt 19: 21 If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad, It is that sadness in Nicodemus heart that's making you avoid the truth |

Originalsly:Don't mind that Damosky. He's one of those charlatans in suites milking their congregation to meets daily bread. Matt 19: 21 If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad, Jesus Christ didn't have earthly possessions he lived hands to mouth. because attachment with the physical is detachment from the spiritual. Satan also tempted Jesus with what the African pastors call prosperity but Jesus didn't yield (he showed him the wealth of the world, if Jesus bowed to him he gets it all, Guess what, Jesus rebuked him) Read also In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus clearly states that those who serve people in need (the hungry, the prisoner, the stranger) will enter his Kingdom. Giving to your pastor is Swindling; just another man seeking earthly treasure |

If St. Augustin as far back as 18th century opines that, prayers, fasting, vigils, going to mountains or whatever Christians are doing are not prerequisite to good life, health or prosperities, I wonder why today's Christians, especially in Africa emphasis so much on frivolities to obtain favour from God. Or are they telling us they know more than St. Augustin and other ancient God ordained Bishops. According to St. Augustin, God only pick whoever he want to favour or bless with long life and prosperity irrespective of the way your lives your life. Humans on earth according to him, are not capable of being perfect or just, and therefore are irredeemable sinners. Though he recognised Heaven( city of God) and earth( city of men), just like today's Christians, but he does believes that no one is capable of being there except through the mercy of God, which has nothing to do with your account on earth because we are all irredeemable sinners before God. Alot of Nigeria Bishops and pastors are using the same ideology today, but will never tell their congratulations for fear of losing their stream of incomes. |

OPICANTO2223:Honestly The matter don tire me. This is fraudulent in every entirety. A God can never be interested in earthly financial transactions. What's an illusion! What's to difficult to understand here? Are people this stupid or What? Does it even sound normal? Creator of every living creature we meet everyday, now interested in Tithes... Not even mermaids or Amadioha not to talk of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. These Religious bodies don't respect GOD at all. God now interested in monies made by mortals. Are we stupid or mad? |

Mrexcell:Who told you so? Where is your statistics? When last did a single Nigerian pastor heal someone genuinely? Have they ever healed anyone genuinely in the first place? What stops them from heading to UCH Ibadan or UNTH to ask those there to rise and walk like Jesus did. Jesus moved around. He was never static erecting structures. |

dejavubobo1:Do you not value your life? Why would you bring such a scripture these MoG be hiding from their followers? ... you should know what can happen when you disrupt the cash flow. They be doing the direct opposite .... collecting earthly possessions instead of getting rid of them. But the followers will explain. |

Sociotech:..but they are those that do pay offering and tithes..but are wealthy and billionaires..like Akiko Dangote very rich and among the richest men in the world..and he is a Muslim...so the bible says Faith, prayers without work is dead..the bible also says I will bless the hands of your labour, work... |

cutecommend:Love is the Greatest motivation for giving, not multiplication or increase. The Bible says "And God so love the world,and He gave" A genuine love always give, without expecting anything in return. Please get this truth and avoid heart break from Nigerian Pastors. |

Originalsly:Sadly this is common only in Africa where pastors want to wear the best suite, drive in rolls Royce and dine with the top politicians the pontus pilate of our day. Normally a pastor; meaning Shepard should give his all to keep the sheep safe and healthy and make sure non is lost. Africans don't understand Christianity we just fooling ourselves. |

Originalsly:Which of the scriptures? How? I showed you scriptures teaching on giving to church and supporting pastors. The above more like it. My follow up question .... the bolded ... is meeting the needs of those lacking in the church the priority? ... in reality? If it is not ... then isn't "the church" scamming the people? ... collecting monies under false pretence? ...even collecting from those that are lacking. ExplainMeeting needs is a thing in the church. But meeting a person's needs doesn't automatically make them rich. Besides, that we're having to meet a person's needs doesn't mean they should stop giving. Both meeting needs of the lacking in church and giving to the church are equally scriptural. For instance, in Matt 12:41-44, Jesus praised a poor widow for giving all she had to the synagogue. Let me know what your confusion is. |

damosky12:I'm not saying one shouldn't give to the poor. And if he doesn't give to 'the church'' then how will the church give to those who are lacking? Not at all .... not giving to those who are lacking to make them rich ...but to bring them up....not up and above. I do agree with your take on the matter. My problem is with the poster ...like sooo many pastors...they preach all knowingly about a topic and when questioned they disappear ... hiding behind the keyboard ... Ramped fingers ...but they be reading . |

Any Christian who can consistently and conveniently pay tithes, sow seeds, and give offerings is not stagnant. It takes a progressive mind to sustain these efforts. God will always reward your generosity. It’s a basic principle that isn’t exclusive to Christianity. Just as rain falls on everyone, including murderers, giving will always attract a reward. |

Absolutely correct points by the Op. This gives the Devil, more of a legal ground to rain down afflictions on them. He loves it when humans live in disharmony with God's Plan for Mankind in every aspect of existence and this enables him to keep millions bound perpetually in bondage. |
