Pheals:
kilode bro... I said I didn't usually drop am a student now i give cheerful ... I do according to my mind but not to give at all is bad

For me the best way to pay your tithe is to give to the less priviledge, that's why you see the muslims pay saka as their tithe

Recently, singer, Davido, singed a record deal with multi-million dollar
Record deal with Sony Music at their
headquarters in New York and this got
the singer in wild jubilation as he
never imagined such deal. One of his family members who is
proud of him is his brother, Adewale Adeleke, better known as HKN Chairman, as he stated that they have
been succeeding without making use
of their father’s investment. He explained that they both started the
journey in 2011 and made a major
break in 2016 which shows they are
working real hard without depending
on their father’s wealth.


According to him, “Forget that my dad and Davido’s father are
billionaire! We hustle like we still
ain’t made it reason why we on
top! We started this ish since 2011
it’s 2016 and we got a major
record deal!”

Popular pastor and public affairs
analyst, Femi Aribisala has
berated the act of collecting
tithes by their churches which he
believes is not biblical. As far as many pastors are
concerned, the most important
scripture of all is not to be found in the
word of Jesus. Neither is it even in the
New Testament. That scripture says: “‘Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be food in my house,
and try me now in this,’ says the
LORD of hosts, ‘If I will not open
for you the windows of heaven
and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be
room enough to receive
it.’” (Malachi 3:10). This scripture is drummed repeatedly
into Christians on Sundays. However,
the only time Jesus mentioned tithing
in scripture, he pointed out that it was
not a weighty matter of the law. (Matthew 23:23 ). AD: How To Get Visa To Anywhere In The World EASILY. CLICK HERE Hebrews says people only receive
tithes “according to the law.” (Hebrews 7:5). It then insists tithing (and everything else under the
law) has been annulled: “The former
regulation is set aside because it was
weak and useless.” (Hebrews 7:18-19) . Nevertheless, mercenary pastors continue to insist on the
payment of tithes. Latter-day Pharisees Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for
keeping part instead of the whole law.
(Matthew 23:23). That is what tithe-
collecting pastors do today. If we
insist our congregants must pay tithes,
we must also insist that they keep the rest of the law. James says: “Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in
one point, he is guilty of
all.” (James 2:10). Therefore, if we insist on tithing, we should also refrain
from eating pork. We should stone
adulterers, execute homosexuals, kill
Sabbath violators and restore blood-
sacrifices. Tithe-collecting pastors counter this by
maintaining the payment of tithes pre-
dated the law. Here Abraham is cited
as the cardinal example of someone
who paid tithes before the
promulgation of the Law of Moses, as did Jacob, his grandson. However,
such arguments are disingenuous. Before the law, tithing was at best an
example but not a commandment.
Moreover, pastors fail to mention that
Abraham only tithed once in his
lifetime. When he did, he did not even
tithe his own money: he tithed the spoils of war. He gave ten percent of the plunder he
took when he rescued Lot to
Melchisedec, king of Salem. But then
he did not even keep the rest but
returned it (all ninety percent) to the
king of Sodom. For his part, Jacob also tithed only
once. He did this in a “let’s make a
deal” arrangement he offered to God: “Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If
God will be with me, and keep me
in this way that I am going, and
give me bread to eat and clothing
to put on, so that I come back to
my father’s house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God. And
this stone which I have set as a
pillar shall be God’s house, and of
all that you give me I will surely
give a tenth to you.’” (Genesis
28:20-22). This kind of deal about accepting God
only under certain self-serving
conditions should certainly not be a
term of reference for any serious
believer. Lies upon lies The first lie pastors tell Christians is
what some have referred to as “the
eleventh commandment:” “Thou shalt
pay thy tithes to thy local church.” But
the bible says no such thing. The
storehouse of Malachi was not a church. It was a place where food was
kept. Pastors hide from church-members
the fact that money was not
acceptable as tithe. The tithe was a
tenth of the seed and fruit of the land
and of the animals which ate of the
land. (Leviticus 27:30-32). That is why God says: “Bring all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be FOOD
in my house.” (Malachi 3:10). He does not say “that there may be MONEY in my house.” The food was used to feed the Levites, the poor,
widows, orphans and strangers. Pastors also conveniently fail to teach
the biblical tithe. The principles of
tithing were not laid down by Malachi.
They were laid down by Moses. The
study of Moses’ guidelines quickly
reveals that the biblical tithe has no application whatsoever to Christians
and is mischievously violated by tithe-
collecting pastors today. According to the Law of Moses, the
tithe was divided into three allocations.
The first year, it was given to the
Levite. The second year, it was given
to widows, orphans and the poor. The
third year, it was eaten in the company of the faithful before the Lord as
thanksgiving for his faithfulness.
(Deuteronomy 14:22-28). In the
seventh year, there was no planting
and no reaping and therefore no
tithing. So the next time your pastor asks you
to pay tithe, ask him about the
seventh-year reprieve. Also ask him if
you can give your tithe to the
orphanage, or bring it as food items to
be eaten in church. Believe me; he will not agree with you because it is your
money he is after. Inapplicability of Tithes Tithing was only applicable to Jews
and to the land of Israel. When large
populations of Jews lived in Babylon,
Ammon, Moab, Egypt, and Syria,
these lands became tithe-able lands. However, tithes were not acceptable
from strictly Gentile lands. So you
need to ask your pastor how come he
is collecting tithes in Nigeria. Servants or slaves who worked on the
land did not tithe because the land did
not belong to them. Since only
agricultural and animal resources were
included, a fisherman gave no tithe of
his fisheries. Neither did a miner or a carpenter pay
tithes, nor anyone from the various
professional occupations. So if you are
not a farmer or a keeper of livestock,
tell your 419 pastor tithing is biblically
inapplicable to you. Moreover, the only people authorised
to receive tithes were the Levites.
(Hebrews 7:5). So if your Pastor is a
“tithe-collector,” ask him if he happens
to be a Jew. Remind him that, even
though a Jew, Jesus could not receive the tithe because he was not from the
tribe of Levi but from that of Judah. The trick, of course, is for pastors
today to claim we are “Levites.” If your
pastor is one such dissembler, ask
him if he lives as a Levite. Remind him
that Levites had no land and did not
have private property. Ask him also how he knows he is from
the tribe of Levi, which happens to be
one of the lost tribes of Israel. Point
out to him that even Jewish rabbis
don’t claim to be Levites today
because all Jewish genealogical records were lost with the destruction
of the Temple in AD 70, ensuring that
it is no longer possible to ascertain the
true identity of Levites. Therefore, if Jews no longer tithe
because the Levites are a lost tribe,
how can Christian pastors collect
tithes when we are not even Jewish,
how much more Levites? If Jewish
rabbis, whose terms of reference remain the Old Testament no longer
collect tithes, then pastors who insist
Christians are under a New Testament
have no business doing so. The conclusion then is inescapable.
Every pastor who collects tithes is
nothing but “a thief and a
robber.” (John 10:1).

"A 43-year-old man, Opeyemi Adesina, who allegedly paraded himself as a consultant gynaecologist with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, says he paid N100,000 to buy the seven forged certificates he used. Our correspondent learnt that Adesina, who hails from Ekiti State, was arrested on Tuesday by the Alakara Police
Division on Alowolodu Street in the Alapere, Ketu area of Lagos State. Metro gathered that Adesina was arrested after his landlord, identified only as Akorede, wrote a “save-my- soul” petition to the management of LUTH some weeks ago alleging that Adesina brought home female patients to treat in his house and did abortions for them, among other unwholesome practices which could implicate him (the landlord). Akorede had further explained
in the letter that when he confronted Adesina, the doctor allegedly claimed to be a consultant gynaecologist with LUTH, adding that he (Adesina) brought the referral cases from the hospital to his house so that he could have time to attend to them. Metro learnt that the LUTH authorities, who could not find such name in the record of their consultants, forwarded the letter to the police, and Adesina was thereafter arrested. It was gathered that the police also recovered the forged certificates. Our correspondent observed that the certificates included a fake MBBS certificate of the University of Ibadan, and a fake membership certificate of the Nigerian Medical Association. Speaking with Metro, Adesina said he paid N100,000 to one Kolawole in Ibadan, Oyo State, to get the certificates, adding that he had used them for only three years. He said, “I bought the certificates from Kolawole in Ibadan. That was three years ago. I bought them from him for N100,000. He printed the seven certificates. “I do not know where he stays. We did not meet in any specific location. We usually met at fast food joints or any agreed place. For instance, it was at Agodi Gate area that I gave him the money and got the certificates. I decided to use another name on the certificates. “I forged them because I dropped out of the university. I was actually studying Medicine. However, I dropped out in the 500 level due to financial reasons. “I married my wife about five years ago. She thought I was a certified doctor. She actually came to me for treatment in the Ketu area and that was how we met. We have a child.” Adesina, who denied his landlord’s allegation, said he only operated a laboratory where he attended to his patients. He said, “Three years ago, I decided to get the certificates just to cover up for the failure to finish my university education. “It is not true that I brought women to treat at home. The truth of the matter is that I have a laboratory and the women came there. I usually did tests for them and by the time the test results were out, I would ask them to visit a hospital for treatment.” The suspect’s wife, Olawumi, pleaded that her husband should be released as he had realised his mistake, and would never venture into such again. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigation was over. She said, “Upon a written petition from the management of LUTH, Idi-Araba, the suspect was arrested for falsely practising as a medical doctor and consultant gynaecologist. He confessed to have been in the practice for three years, and seven certificates were recovered from him. He will be charged to court soon.”

GogobiriLalas:
What he means is that he doesn't have a house in Dubai, but he has one in Abu Dhabi, or Champs de Elysee for Paris or Belair for Cali or Hertfordshire for Jandon...it could be anywhere else just not Dubai...OP take note

LoL

Is it only the pdp members that owns houses in dubai? If not why publish only their names. Election is over o, or this one is a new system of government (campaign after election). Its better papa face business

Realist2:
Exactly what Buhari want , to silent every opposition

And thats not possible. don't mind them, no plan nor vision of anything to do. government full of propaganda

samofson:
Am I missing something? Or is it only PDP members that were allowed to own properties in UAE?

The anti graft war shouldn't be one sided. That said it's not a crime to own property abroad as far as u didn't use illicit funds to purchase it.

How are they going to prove tht these properties were bought using illicit funds?

I think we are fighting the wrong battle, lets focus on our economy. We need a state of emergency on the economy. ..people are crying, the policies are crippling business by the hour. Please PMB should refocus or else we will become like Zimbabwe in the next 2 years.

Let them know

Is it a crime to have a house in Dubai?

I wonder too but there is something that baffles me. Is it only the PDP politicians that houses were sold to in DUBAI? If not we need the names of APC people
with houses in Dubai too o
