It also means that once the devil starts paying his tithes, he will automatically be back to heaven as one of God's prodigal Angels that is now a new creature, more like an APC affair.
Ever since this tithe issue has been on, I've never commented, but I will do it once and for all, just for reference sake.
We are always quick to quote Malachi 3:10 to support tithing. I have nothing against people who tithe, because I feel giving 10percent of your earning to the church is based on your agreement and inspiration on the issue. However, what I have an issue with is saying its binding on all Christians to tithe.
Israelites paid tithes to Levi, who was chosen by God to collect them, due to his righteousness amongst other good traits. Are we Israelites? If yes, which among the 12 tribes are we and how do we recognise our own Levites, so we could pay to them. And of course the Levites must equally pay their own 10 percent to God directly, as its done in the past.
Tithes were paid in foodstuff, not in gold or silver, and if it must be converted, there are rules.
Matt. 23:23 pointed out by Jesus how even Pharisees paid tithes and how unimportant it is to the kingdom of God. Perhaps Christians need to leave Christianity and practice Judaism as its a religious doctrine.
Jacob paid tithe after he received blessings from God, and it was more like a vow between him and God at that instant. Not a monthly affair.
Abraham paid out of the spoils of war he fought for Sodom to Melchizedek.
In the new testament, Jesus referred to a number of the old laws, e.g. working on the Sabbath day, and he explained it, not cancel it. He referred to Isaiah, Jonah, Abraham etc. at some points, but I wonder why He never said anything about tithing, despite the importance attached to it today.
The problem with some Christians is that we're so bent on sentiments on this issue. The fact that its been a standing issue for a long time does not mean it can never be changed despite having the bible for reference. But its OK if its fine by anybody, but don't display your ignorance by saying its binding on all Christians.
It might interest you all to know that even today Jews in Israel don't pay tithes. Why? There are no temples or ordained Levites to pay to. The requirements to fulfil the "law", even as an Israelite is not available.
Unfortunately, no one has been able to convince me of the biblical relevance of tithing in today's church. It can be done voluntarily like any other vows or special offerings, which are still under the umbrella of "giving"
kolawoleibukun: Adeboye is worse than the Catholic church that he and other Pentecostal churches criticize. This is the same thing that the catholics did back in the days by selling indulgence to people to go to heaven. they said that if you did not buy it, you would not enter heaven. The mumu dem sef way day buy the indulgence dem no ask weda person way day sell am don go the heaven.
Adeboye is a freemason. He is never of God. He uses this humility trick to fool people. Acting like a hungry person does not mean humility. People are so dumb. All these statements na reaction to daddy Freeze attack. the revenue shake small that is why he has to reinforce the tithe and heaven link. No verse in the bible mention tithe and heaven together.
funny enough you will see many fowls with two left yarsh quoting people and attacking them for condemning the evil way day happen for their church. pastors and imam dem day rape small small girls and if you talk na the same people way dem rape their sisters go begin talk dust.
Imam dem too are rogues in their own kind. Dangote is a muslim but him daughter day wed dem carry alcohol full everywhere. nobody fit talk cos money day involved. the best wine full the wedding but they are muslims.
Buhari and lie Mohammed are muslims. but they have been lying like mohammed for generations. all the old muslim in the middle east are power mongers. count all the islamic rulers none wants to let go of power.
the truth be say if muslims see thread like this, dem go rush enter to blaspheme Christians but they have evil agenda. to destabilize Christians and take over. na so dem day sneak like say dem no day sheet but they are full of dead men bones.
all these muslims here are fake muslims. muslims that cannot read the koran in Arabic language. some will tell you that they read it but cannot understand it. they just sing it like a strange song.
Look at all these boko haram killings, no single Imam, let us say the crippled one or the one with bad eye has come out to condemn the killing of innocent women and kids. they lock up like quarantined leprosy day happy. they all have agenda. even the person way day post all these kind topics against Christians follow.
Adeboye fooled gullible Nigerians that he stepped down from his position as GO but people still call him daddy. the new guy what will they call him? Adeboye is still making the laws. the new guy nobody hear him voice. to show you the politics in that occulted church. any church way you see celebrity pastor or daddy run. any church you see pastor face for calendar, billboard, signboard etc na fake. that church has deviated from God.
anywhere you see muslims, never trust him. they cowardly attack from the back.
Nuisance, wetin concern Muslims for tithe and is buhari or dangote an Imam. You obviously on some cheap drugs spewing nonsense
martineverest: old testament support tithing while new testament is against it.... that's y our pastors use old testament, Malachi 3 v 10 and will never use any new testament as back up
tithing is of the law ......Hebrews 7 says tithing is 'useless' and invalid
Adeboye is now the gateman of Heaven that will check your tithe card before you enter Heaven. So what is the fate of non redeemed members? How will he confirm that they were paying their tithe regularly in their various Churches before they pass?
In the Old Testament, their blessing were tied to their tithes!
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meaPastor t in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
In the New Testament our blessings are all in Jesus Christ. Notice it says ALL not some but ALL.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
In the Old Testament, God rebuked the devourer (Devil) when you tithed.
Malachi 3:11 (KJV) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
In the New Testament, Jesus Himself destroys the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
The bible say's that the New Testament is better than the Old Testament. Not only is the New Testament is better than the Old Testament, Its also based on better promises
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
So please why do we want to hold on the Old Testament's tithing when the New Testament's grace is better
Do You expect help from God becos of ur tithes or becos of the faith you have in Jesus.
If you expect God to help you becos of your tithes, you are offending Jesus,and are why.. Joshua conquered all because of God's blessings NOT tithes.
Deuteronomy 11:25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Now Our Blessings are in Jesus not Tithes. Noitce it says ALL not some
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
So choose which is better, money or Jesus
LET'S COMPARE WHAT JESUS GETS US TO WHAT TITHES CAN GET
The Law does not make anybody perfect! Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect!
What makes us perfect before God is the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
If tithing could get you favor with God or save us, Jesus would not have died.
QUESTION What do you think carries more weight in heaven?
The Blood Jesus shed for you and I
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
OR
The tithes you pay?
Remember that the Silver & Gold already belongs to God.
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
In fact believing that things will work because your tithe means; you are saying to God that the sacrifice Jesus paid is not good enough and you need to add more to it.
And the bible is clear that all our blessings are in Jesus Christ and not our tithes. Notice it says ALL! So everything we want Jesus has paid for it, so tithes cannot get it.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
So the law of tithing does not bring favor.
Now a quick question, did Jesus collect tithes? The only time it's menitoned in the New Testament is to yab the Pharisees.
Apart for that once, tithes was never mentioned again in the New Testament.
So why do pastors make you put your faith in ur tithes & not Jesus?
In the Old Testament, their blessing were tied to their tithes!
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meaPastor t in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

You obviously don’t know the Bible or you are not a Christian i.e. a follower of Jesus Christ in words and works. Otherwise you should have referenced Matthew 25 to know the account holders of God.
Tithe is a law and acts of Charity as described in that chapter is a different ball game.
In the Old Testament, their blessing were tied to their tithes!
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meaPastor t in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Answer is simply, GREED
this is insightfull! But i'll still pay my thithe to help with the running of the house.
Appdriod: Nigerians dey vex for Pastor Adeboye 'No tithe, no heaven' statement
Social media scatter after one trending video show Nigerian pastor E. A. Adeboye dey talk for pulpit say anybody wey no dey pay dia tithe no go make heaven.
Adeboye wey be di General Overseer of di Redeemed Christian Church of God bin tell im pastors wey dey di church service say im get instruction for dem.
Im tell dem say make dem go tell dia church members say, "Anybodi wey no dey pay im tithe no dey go heaven, full stop."
As di video begin trend, plenty Nigerians start to dey para say which kain talk be dis sotay some even call di pastor personal assistant to God.
But dis man we dey even attend Redeemed Church talk say di pastor for im own branch no dey force dem pay tithe. But as di church oga kpatakpata don talk am, which one di worshippers go come follow?
Odas dey wey support Pastor Adeboye say if pesin no dey pay tithe, dem dey disobey God.
Pastor Tunde Bakare, wey be anoda ogbonge pastor for Nigeria bin tell BBC say to pay tithe no be by force.
well, I will not argue with him because, we may not be serving the same God. I serve the Most high God, who gave us his only begotten son to die on the cross for my sins while he may be serving the god of mammon
kolawoleibukun: Adeboye is worse than the Catholic church that he and other Pentecostal churches criticize.

even the Catholic Church never NEVER taught no indulgence, no heaven.
eagleonearth: What human beings should understand is that there are deities and there is a supreme Deity that has priests. His priests close to Him definitely hear him and relate with him. When God called people who don't tithe ROBBERS, he wasn't joking. If you rob a bank and get caught, you will be jailed in Kirikiri and you think you will go free when you rob the Almighty??. And if you're not born again, tithe or not, no heaven for you. If you're born again, it's devilish for you not to tithe. Take 9 portions and release just one. If you find it hard, you're not worthy of heaven. Critique me all you can, I've said what I said.
You are ignorant. Read John 3:16 . That's the requirement for eternal life. What will God do with your useless tithes ?
I've never see or read other pastors emphasizing much about tithe as pastor adeboye is doing
why is he using going to heaven to put fears in his members? so someone that tithe but killed and rob will goto heaven
is time they call that man Into attention, he's going astray to the teaches of the bible. Jesus specialized much on teaches in his lifetime and not this tithe tithe tithe
onatisi: but why is there so much confusion about this matter? daddy freeze raised this issue and if i am not mistaken , many christian pastors have come out to say that , yes he is correct that tithing isnt complusory but voluntary. secondly , there is no where in the bible where mmaking heaven is tied to material contributions to the church , God has never said that without tithing one wont go to heaven , what God stated in the bible is that without tithing the person is exposed and vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy now my question is, if it is God , One bible and One Spirit , then why are these pastors contradicting themselves ?why cant ppl just sit down and look at what the bible says and follow it . ppl are very quick to say polygamy is bad and that just one wife and one husband and they also refer to all those who did it in the old testament as old idea and that the new testament says just one wife , why are they then finding it difficult to accept the new testament ideas on tithing too
this are the reason I follow comments on nairaland there's always new thing to learn ::::thanks for this comment
That one concerns the payers and to think that he is sitting down to teach the word shows that he is advancing in age and they are still there, maybe until he is lying down on a foam to preach during conventions that they will know is time to leave that office. Yet, they will come and criticize old politicians while same thing is done at different church denominations. May God help us oo.
Don't deceive others while also deceiving yourself.
Keep defending evil. One day adeboye may confess n u will b put to shame. Even the Jews today don't pay tithe cos jewish records according the order of tithe has been lost. U are here quoting luke11v42 for mere Nigerians or gentiles
