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.

It was a very stressful week for me as it involved lots of travels and all. So its a Saturday and I was paid for a project I did for the month past.

Going by my tired nature, I knew deep down me that there was no way I could have made it to church the next day and I was hell bent on paying my tithe because of the inherent blessings therein and the last thing on my mind would be to give it to my nebor to pay it for me. (The guy broke and besides I didn't want him to start calculating my take-home (Na sharp man). And I knew deep down that if I keep the money till the next time I would be in church, I was sure I would spend it. (God have mercy on me sha)

So I decided even before getting home to package my tithe and while in the market on a shopping spree I package my tithe and dropped it in the plate of an old beggar. (A mulsim beggar precisely)

Instantly, I saw 50 shades of shocks on her face as she looked at me for a few seconds and I could read her facials more like "For this Buharia?" Lols. And before I disappeared into the crowd, I could see/read her lips mutter prayers pointing towards me. And deep down, I felt blessed and fulfilled.

But was I wrong to have given my 10percent to a beggar instead of to the alter?

Opinions please.

It's Wonderful to give to the poor... INFACT the Bible specifically talks about dt.

But Your Tithe is not a gift. Neither is it your money. Your Tithe is GOD's SHARE of your Money. And He Directs where it should be taken to. See Malachi 3:10

PROPAGATING GOD'S WORD NEEDS MONEY

hopefulLandlord:
Hell awaits you

How will pastors buy private jets if every church members keep doing like you did?

better go back to the beggar, get your money back and give the pastor so that there may be "meat" and he can pour out his blessings so big that you won't have space to contain them, hell awaits you if you don't do like I instructed

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.

dopeJemi:
where in the Bible did it say we should give our tithes to Pastors? how does giving a pastor our tithe make God have it? or is the pastor now God? do these pastors take the tithes to God personally?

deut 14:28-29

deut 14:22-26

Matt 25:32

the notion of giving tithes to a man on a pulpit is false, there is no biblical backing to this,

I ask you, what do these pastors do with your tithes? other than store it in banks?

Opera240:
You did very well, beside Jesus Christ didn't talk about giving tithes, He only mentioned offerings.

YOU TITHE IS NOT TO YOUR PASTOR... I drop my Tithe either in the basket for it or I pay to the Church Account....

Not a fan of religion tho, But I think you just earned yourself double reward if at all there's reward for it in your religion. Going by my belief of #Humanity it's the best we can do as human
