Deuteronomy 14:22. "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
23. And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24. But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you,
25. then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
26. And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27. You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28. "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.
29. And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do. I wish you can discuss this portion of the Bible and explain in depth for our lazy Christians to read and understand make it a topic and we pray it hits front page.

Your tithe belongs exclusively to God. Even pastors are expected to pay 10% of their increase as tithe. They were Christians first before they became pastors. Tithe is to be used for work in church, not for pastor to go shopping or buying fuel. I know one who used to use tithe money to fuel his car and he is presently living under a very heavy curse.
There is a place for also giving to the poor, as well as to parents, to societal causes, etc. It is not compulsory to give physical cash to the poor. In fact, if you pay for a skills training to take a poor person off the streets, you have not only given to that poor person but you have improved the lives of at least two or three dependants of that poor person. If you buy a garri grating machine for the poor women in your village to grate cassava, you have given to the poor in huge measure.
Don't let anyone deceive you by saying your tithe should be given to the poor. You can give to the poor in many measures. So instead of just dropping money in a poor person's plate and leaving him or her in that condition still, you should make it a duty to take that person off the streets. Adopt an orphan. Put a child to school. Pay for a skills acquisition training for someone. That is the best kind of giving you can give to a poor person as you will transform them for a lifetime. 3 Likes |

Not that I'm a tithe payer myself but if you want to do something, do it right
Tithe was specifically meant for the upkeep of church or propagation of the Gospel.
The beggar achieved none of these two objectives, he might even use your tithe for some immoral activities.

One thing that keeps getting me confused on the issue of tithe is as it's given in the Bible, it involves food stuff, specifically harvest from one's land if I'm not mistaken. It's not like at that period they didn't have money to spend, but God instructed the use of food crops. Why did we all of a sudden change it to suit our greed? Where did it all go wrong? 7 Likes |

I see no point giving to an already established pastor all in the name of giving out tithes when there are millions of persons who need that very "tithe" to survive. Come to think of it, would you rather (all in the name of trying to justify malachi 3;10) give your tithe to a pastor who seldomly need your tithe than giving it to a poor person in need? My friends, I don't say paying your tithes in churches/alters ain't good but for the sake of humanity, giving your tithes to a beggar too isn't all wrong. |
