I guess u read the part I stated how fulfilled and blessed I felt at the spot.

A function of a good conscience, if you ask me.

AFONAMARO:
He paid his tithe in the right place 100%

Tithes are meant for 5 categories of people;

1. The Levites.
2. The widows.
3. The Ophans.
4. You(the payee)and yes I mean you.
5. Strangers.

Kindly read Deu 14:29.

Thank you

Eze2000:
Nope, that's the beauty of worship. Unofficially, u can reach God anywhere but officially, the church. Said u know u can get married ..just u and your woman...in the bedroom and God will acknowledge it? But you will also be told in time to go and do things better in church

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 is noble to give to the poor but your tithe is a tenth of your monthly or whatever earning,it is God's money and will go to the house of God where you are fed spiritually..mal;3...without sounding judgemental you did the wrong thing if you are a Christain,

supersystemsnig:
Lets visit the root of why tithes are given. Visit Abraham, he gave his the because he met someone greater and in return, his tithe opened the door for virtue to flow, you only give tithe to someone you see up, so the benefits flows into your life consequentially. You have it in the reverse... If you want deep personal analysis, hit me up, i'll explain...too tired to type....

HeyCorleone:
Rubbish. So if someone doesn't tithe, God doesn't open the "windows"?! Why do y'all paint God black?

GodsMopol:
Well, are you born again else it's not acceptable

ask Cain and Abel

Obedience is better than sacrifice

God is not interested in you making a fool of the word alter, please learn to respect spiritual things

bye

Julivas:
You have done well, but you can do better. All tithes must be brought into the house of the Lord and not just any place or person. As a blessed son of God, you can still package something for the beggers and the needy.

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

lightinchrist4:
Very wrong, your tithe is to God.. Alms is to the poor. Maybe you using the word tithe makes ne qualify it as wrong. Its not bad to give 10% of your income to the poor its still alms BUT your TITHE 10% of your income to God is sure.
As for those looking at you wrongly thats their business, when giving alms to the poor be it millions of naira its all for your benefit cause youre doing it in the sight of God not man.

Ekennovative:
It was not tithe that you paid bro. You merely gave your money to the poor.

Malachi 3:10 specified where tithe should be paid to and what percentage to pay. Anything short of that is an act of disobedience.

You'll receive the reward attached to giving and not to tithing. Obedience is better than to sacrifice.

BluntBoy:
What did Abraham tithe and how many times did he do it?

Student125:
You are too funny, If he will reject me in the church where I can reach him officially, I can choose to reach out to him anywhere else unofficially.
The most important is for my msg to get to him.

TEYA:
I read verses 22 to 29. Very interesting. But they will not like what it says. They will look for another verse that will say they should give the whole of it to daddy else God will not bless them.

PROPAGATING GOD'S WORD NEEDS MONEY

shallysgirl:
This isn't meant to be discriminatory, but are you a muslim?
You feel blessed by the prayers of a muslim Abeg to which' god'?
Based on Deuteronomy 14:22-29,i believe you can also tithe by giving to men of God who have been a blessing to you, your church because you also get blessed there, widows, orphans, needy .you must give to those who need it cos some are addicts.etc. I believe it should be split along these lines based on your discretion.
These muslim beggars, do you know what they do with the alms they receive cause I learnt they perform certain rituals on such money.
In all ask God for directions so you don't sow on barren land or lose your blessings.

[color=teal]Does it matter who he gives it to. Your reasoning as a Christian baffles me[/color]

jamalnation:
to me you are wrong

Read malachi 3: 10

gentle007:
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.

IF YOU HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AND BELIEVE IN YOUR CREATOR... YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR TITHE AS MONEY GIVEN YO YOUR PASTOR..... a Pastor that Eats people's Tithe is seating on a Gun Powder. Unless you are in a yahoo yahoo church. Your Tithe is used to Expand , Promote and propagate The GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

asuustrike2009:
You did well by assisting the beggar in need but you didn't pay your tithe. May God richly bless you abundantly but try and pay your tithe because it wasn't it. What you did was a seed and it will speak for you greatly. Don't be deceived by the tactics of the devil operating in form of light. As many have being loose to deceive the elect on various social forum.
