When did Nigerian pastors and reverends become Levites? I'll have you know men of God today, not only own landed properties, they own companies, cars etc, all amounting to millions of naira.

So giving this set of people your 10% is just wasting your resources and adding to theirs...

Jozzy4:
Your Naija pastors are sons of Aaron ?
chai

even in the bible apostle Paul said his own hands work to cater for his needs

amicable09:
Hahahaha. They are na

Apostle Paul also mentioned of the gifts he received . In fact, once he talked about stopping them from giving but realized it was wrong. In Philippians 4:19 when he prayed the prayer of my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory, check what led to that prayer we call claim today. Read earlier verses to find out.

I am tempted to go deep and take you through the new testament because I know you may want to say Malachi is in the old testament book and all but I'm having a tight schedule today. I hope sha that you understand this little explanation. Apostle Paul was a church planter but he was no Pastor.

I got tired of going, now they are disturbing my peace. Asking me why i quit? Why wont i quit a place that has become a breeding ground for foolishness and shyness

I am beginning to dislike Nigerian christians, i am afraid they are making me to.

You will see them thinking rationally on every normal day and everywhere but once they step in to the church, they just pack up their brains. Haba!

The swallow everything mr pastor says and dont bother looking them up in the bible.

Pastor say sow seed, papapa. They drop
Thite; same thing
No questions.

Thats how one brainless girl gave her school fees as seed. For wetin, i chop winsh

"Where is it in the bible?" is my amour. No body can deceive me when i have brain.

The sharp contrast in the Nigerian christian behaviour in the church and in their daily lives, is a sad one.

In their D.lives, they wont even let a kobo drop from their wallets without proper and careful calculation. They must get to the root of why they should let go their doughs, even if they have to carry out an extensive research.

I am just tired of these people who let themselves swindled by people that are not their match in the name of "fearing God and his annointed men"

why not look for a church that suits your style. There are so many denominations out there that will not drain your pocket, and take u for who you are. Beside worship, which is the aim of the church, my church seeks to improve members standard of living as well. A family church that I always looks forward to attending everytime where EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY.

and you know this one na lie ,



@ bold, not tithe he received . no single record of him collecting tithe sef

amicable09:
Mmmhh... Now do you see why people who complain about men of God living large have no case? Because apparently, Paul had more than enough to live large.

Also, Apostle Paul of course never collected tithes because of his ministry as an apostle. He didn't shepherd a flock, therefore there was no case for him to receive somebody's 10% and be sentimental about it cos he was not presiding over any storehouse.

rosalieene:
Brother moses, Who told you her church is fake.
You are trying to advertise The Lord's Chosen!!
O God pls forgive me for what I want to say now,; why is it that most Lord's chosen members are poor.

mrZENographer:
MOST? You are not mentally sound.

You notice that some chosen members are 'poor'. But you failed to notice how many poor people have been made rich by coming to The Lord's Chosen. [b]Seriously you are blind.[/b]because if you weren't you'd notice that there are many rich people in my Church.

Thanks for advertising your ignorance may God indeed forgive you and your subscribers.

rosalieene:
So much for a born again Lord's Chosen member.
You need God's Forgiveness more.

I'm smiling going through your thread.
I know people, very many of them while in school who sowed their tuition and accommodation fees as seed of faith. And no one of them was stranded at any time. It's the measure of their Faith.

Over to tithing, who told you it's unchristian? Where did you read that your 'tithe' should be given to the poor? I don't get this new doctrines I see springing up in many quarters these days. If you're paying tithe, it is clear -the purpose. It is for meat to be in the storehouse not for the poor outside. What you give to the poor outside, no matter the percentage is not tithe! That's my understanding of the Bible.

1. Tithing is scriptural.. forget malachi 3:8 and read Hebrew 7.
2. Tithing is a choice not by force.
3. Have you ask yourself this question? how some churches were built without donation for church building? Thats what your tithe does. Its also used for the work of the ministry and propagation of the gospel.

Tithing is not the only access to God's blessing but its important cos that is the only way the church get funded for the work of the ministry.

NOTE: Any church where the pastor or leader uses the tithe for their personal use can never grow and cannot stay for long.....
Good to know you made the Bible your standard for living and knowing the truth....

Peter Shepherd the flock, where do you read that he collect tithe ?

Stupedinluv:
Ok but pls Just show me where the christians in the bible tithed. Are we not following their footsteps?

amicable09:
Alright. Happy Sunday first. Let's talk about Peter and Tithing.

Acts of the Apostles will help us understand this very well. Peter was an apostle but Christ left him a command to feed his sheep. Peter was the rock on which the church was built. Even though the church then was not denominational and as such we cannot say what the name of the church he founded was, we can see some things that happened in the church.

Acts 4, the later part of it talked about the unity of the early church and how they sold their possessions and broke bread even to the point of having everything in common.

Verse 5 gives us the account of Ananias and his wife, who sold their possessions and kept part of the money only to come and lie to Peter and of course you know what happened to them. Death.

Go to verse 6, when Stephen and six others were appointed to be in charge of serving tables when widows and the fatherless began to murmur about the poor service they were getting. What does this tell you? How were they coming about the things they had in the storehouse to share?

Let's move to Hebrews. Chapter 7 talked about Abraham tithing even before Aaron the priest came to the picture. Before Leviticus, a man Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, a priest. This priest can be compared to Jesus. Therefore, it wasn't an old testament thing, believers today are still expected to pay their tithes to Jesus, our great high priest.

Scream:
Bro, you are very wrong in almost all the points you raised. The first church was not built on tithing... imagine Apostle Peter telling Jewish converts to bring to the, the Bible would have recorded the reaction!

Meanwhile, we have Kingdom Halls all over the country, they give out free copies of Awake year in, year out!

Yet, those that "know the truth" sell everything, engage in different businesses (even those they received freely) using the children of God as their market.

Stop lying to yourself...God will provide!

polymathic:
So how was the kingdom halls built? was it God coming down to build it? i am curious to know sir.....

Scream:
Sir, I am not a JW, I do not know but I know that they are more involved in evangelism than us(even though they do not have private jets), there are their buildings everywhere and THEY DO NOT COLLECT TITHE...

There is something they are doing right that we need to learn from them bro. Meanwhile, I do not think God is interested in the Castles being erected everywhere in His name...He is interested in the hearts of those that worship in those places.

Also, let is not overburden our people with Laws that even the Jews couldn't keep...if you want us to go to the scriptures so that we can sharpen each other, I'm around.

Shallom

Stupedinluv:
which kingdom halls again o
Cant we have church anywhere? like in a member's house. Must we build a hall?

Even if we must have a place to gather, we can still all contribute what we have voluntarily, after all are we not christ-like? Wont God enable us to give and guide us?

Say the truth. You trust men more than God joor

mrZENographer:
Firs of all, you have lied by claiming you were a Christian. Secondly, all churches are not the same. There are fake churches (which are many), and there are true churches ( which are few). Some people go to those churches were they can comfortably wear mini skirt and pants. Some go to churches where they initiate them into occultism and society. Most churches don't preach the gospel of righteousness. Your supposed church being among. NOTE: I don't believe ur even a Christian the first place.

But if u want a true church that preach undiluted word then come to The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement@ Ijesha Bustop Lagos.
