Wickedness @ highest order from the bad pastor you quoted. Though I am a Muslim but TB Joshua is a blessing to the humanity. If you are presently in Lagos, you will know how this man has been putting smiles on Millions of peoples face.


andyanders:


Prophet T.B. Joshua is an example of a true Prophets sent by God.An example to humanity and a blessing to the entire world.May God bless him.

Most pastors would have pocketed the money, not thinking about the well being of the old woman and their likes. Some Pastors I have seen collecting and forcing some widows, orphans to pay tithe in order to receive blessings from God and if they refuse, that things would turn to be bad to them. I was told of a lady that is a widow, that a pastor and his wife would go and collect tomato, pepper and onions from the woman without paying. Is that not wickedness?

My response is not to the Man of God , but to the respondents here.

The tithe is not giving to a man, as it were, but to God. There is a difference between offerings, gifts, and the tithe. The tithe is not yours but God's and must be paid. A gift can be rejected, offerings and tithes should never be rejected because they are direct instructions fro, God to His children.
so itz by force...?
and I guess u received the instructions yourself...
blind Christians....I like your Jesus but I don't like the so called Christians
the new testament taught love and cheerful giving, not your hardened mosaic laws of sacrifices and tithes.

T.B. Joshua, perhaps Nigeria’s most
unconventional cleric, posted a heart-warming
story on his official Facebook Page about an
elderly lady who came to his church with an
unusual gift.
A retired teacher named Caroline Orugude had
come to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations
(SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria to share a curious
testimony.
After retiring from her job in June, 2012,
Caroline was forced to wait almost two years
for the gratuity that she was supposed to
receive. “There was nothing much we could do
except pray because the pension system is so
unreliable,” she narrated to the congregation.
After visiting various churches for prayer
without any visible change, she was
introduced to Emmanuel TV, the popular
Christian television station broadcasting the
activities at The SCOAN, and began praying
along with T.B. Joshua.
Within two weeks, she received a call from the
treasury, asking her to go to Abuja to collect
her pension money. “I decided that when I got
the money, I would come to The SCOAN to
appreciate the Lord,” she joyfully said. “I am
here with the small sum of 500,000 naira, to
give to the man of God and The SCOAN, as my
tithe.”
It was an unexpected declaration but the
response of Joshua was equally surprising as
he insisted he could not collect the gift.
“Yes, it is written in the Bible that we should
pay tithe but how can we collect tithe from
widows and the aged who are supposed to be
under our care,” he questioned the
congregation.
“Remember, she has stopped working. She
needs our care for the rest of her life. These
are the women we should be feeding and
taking care of. She is our mother; she is my
mother too.”
The cleric, who is well known for his
philanthropic gestures, then announced that
instead of taking Mrs. Orugude’s tithe, he
would support her with an additional 500,000
naira.
“When God calls a man or woman, what they
will eat, what they will use and everything they
need for their journey will be provided
abundantly by God,” T.B. Joshua then
explained, noting the attributes of genuine
ministers of God.
“When a minister begins to depend on tithes,
you know he is not a minister of God,” he
added. “This is a message to ministers of God
all over the world. When we collect tithes, we
should know those whom we collect them
from. Don’t force anybody – it is between
them and God. Let us worship the Giver of
money, not money,” he concluded.
The post on Joshua’s Facebook page,
followed by 1.5 million people, ended with a
poignant question. “Where are your elderly?
Care for them and you shall reach old age.”
A video recently surfaced of Joshua refusing a
$1,000 offering from a Swiss lady who
received healing during his crusade in
Colombia. Several weeks ago, he spoke
scathingly of ‘money-hungry’ pastors,
insisting that ministers of God should not
force members to give offerings or tithes as it
was a thing of the heart.

Wow!!! That's another inspiring revelation from the Holy Bible. I reccomend that all we Christian should try to not just to read the scripture but also to understand it.

I love this man, some pastor who call themselves man of God will collect the money from the old woman and not care abt her well being.. The part I love most is when he said “ Yes, it is written in the Bible that we should pay tithe but how can we collect tithe from
widows and the aged who are supposed to be
under our care,” he questioned the
congregation. “Remember, she has stopped working. She
needs our care for the rest of her life. These are the women we should be feeding and taking care of. She is our mother; she is my mother too.”

Tithes in the Bible was used to help strangers, the fatherless, the motherless, levites and all other less privileged people in the society. But today's pastors collect tithes to build schools that even their church members cannot afford, they use the money to buy private jets and expensive cars, they use the money of the poor to fund a hedonistic, materialistic, and debased life of economic and social debauchery.

Rather than feeding the poor, these wolves in sheep clothing derive sadistic pleasure in feasting on the poor. There is a God in heaven, and each new day brings us closer to the appointed day of His judgment.

Whether old or orphan, tithe is an injunction from God to ALL. When you believe & obey, He(God) takes care of you and keep surprising you so long as you keep paying your tithe.
He would have collected it and IF HE HAD THAT MIND, GONE BACK IN SECRET AND GIVEN HER #1m(one million naira), that would have been better.

Point of note, Jesus didn't return the old woman's gift in the temple rather, praised her and used her as a lesson to us.

The Pastor's action have the ability to deprive widows the blessings inherent in tithing because they might misinterpret it that the elderly and widows are exempted from tithing.

T.B Joshua is Satanic.... he can do whatever he wish only he should not call himself a man of God cause he is not.

u cannot attribute him satanism for dis singular act as he just punctured d ego of mammon seeking men of god.


moral of the story dont collect tithe for old pipo,cos the tithe was made for them afterall.

I cannot be cursed my brother because Christ has bored the curse. As for sinning against the Holy Spirit that happens when you disbelief the testimony of God about Christ and reject the gift of salvation. And as such your sins will not be forgiven.But I believe Christ is the way Truth and life... I can never Sin against the Holy Spirit.Indeed there is no condemnation for Those who are in Christ for yee shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.

As for you claiming the Holy Spirit is at work in him when in actual fact the spirit of error is at work in him..you think God will be pleased with you?
