I tithe... Come and beat me.

djon78:

The fact still remains that 1 million freezes can never stop people from paying Tithe. Tithe is sacred, it is God's money, it is not pastors money. When I pay my tithe, I do it in honour, respect and fear of God. See I was never a tithe payer before, I may give to people but I never took tithe serious, those period I made quite some substantial money, lost a lot millions in investments that went down the drain. Then it later dawned on me that I never Honoured God with my finances. Infact now if I make money, I don't even touch it till I have removed the Lords tithe, and pay it to my local church where I go and feed God's word every Sunday.
And still all these things doent stop me from paying my tithe because it is the Lords money, it belongs to God.

Samyokporua:
I agree with you, funny enough I was in the service yesterday, nigga said using your tithes on less privilege isn't tithe that tithe must be in the church... won't blame him though, his following in the footsteps of his father's in the Lord: Oyedepo and co... that's their source of income

AceVentura:
Wisdom is too high for a fool.
Paul Adefarasin said tithing isn't for everyone but he encourages people to pay their tithe.

MICHEALADEX:

What they do with it shouldn't be your business you just obey God's command and leave the judgement to God

Omeife2:

This is really what was preached:
Well, this is according to a member of the House on the Rock church in Lagos who shared excerpts of Pastor Paul Adefarasin’s teaching on the very controversial topic, Tithing, in church today. Read the excerpts as shared by Makua Eyisi on his Facebook wall below
‘Today, for the first time (in my hearing), My Pastor taught us about Tithing from the New Testament point of view and it was awesome.
Here are excerpts;
You don’t have to pay tithe in this new covenant.
Tithing will not make you a Millionaire.
You don’t pay tithe to be blessed. You are already blessed. Tithing is a faith response to the blessing.
Abraham paid tithe after he was blessed not so that he would be blessed.
Abraham paid tithe to Melchidezek who was a high priest. We pay to Christ who is also our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Statsocial:
it's not giving 10%. I can also share that in my personal life, my wife and I have found the most joy and fulfillment when we were giving sacrificially well beyond the tithe.

This is what grace is all about! Being empowered to do more and not running away from our responsibilities all in d name of New Covenant.

Davebrian133:
The only tin u ppl nw hw to do is criticize, plz we need more criticizing so d blessing will be over jara plz dont stop we need u to move forward, so our progress can make u confuse

ENEJI16:

You who know where he was pick from all this criticism will end you in hell.... how is it your business,are u a member of his church,even your own church how much is ur offering that you think can buy a toy car talk more of a private jet.

bezimo:


You are the bastard idiot here.. on what basis are you assuming 80% of church members tithe which I know is very far from the truth., On what basis are you assuming their income, thus projecting the tithing revenue. .You are the one whose understand is bankrupt whose mind needs desperate reorientation to the truth. You have never been there so get lost with your garbage nonsense rant as if tithers asked for your dirty garbage opinion.

salford1:
so churches now collect business loan

this best describes the self indicting part of Apostle Madubuko's statements. Banks will be glad to give them the loans after studying the population of sheeples under the Pastor, how much they grab and deposit weekly.
Will Jesus take a Business Loan, is taking loans from a world system part of the Go into the world and make disciples?
Pastorpreneurs and their Church industries have good ideas on how to invest 'Levitical' tithes.
The volume of trade at the stock exchange daily ensures some of these Pastors/Bishops with huge shares smile daily. The brockers with affiliation to such Pastors are big boys and so dedicated to such Churches not because they love God but purely business.

PastorandMentor:
Pastor David Ibiyieome's Personal Assistant and resident pastor in charge of Salvation Ministries Lagos state.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I STAND WITH MY FATHER DAVID IBIYEOMIE FOR LIFE, AND EVERY TRUE SON SHOULD DO THE SAME.
MY FATHER IS A GOOD AND GREAT MAN SECOND TO NONE.
ALL HATERS SHOULD PROCEED TO HELL...

AM UNAPOLOGETIC FOR THIS!!!

bezimo:
Don't mind those idiots.. so your 200 Naira tithe or whatever it is will buy private jet of $15m... how many billions in naira be that not millions oh.
How much will remain to run the church.. pay pastors who work in the church and other church staff, build other branches from the supposed tithe and offering of the people.
If you know how expensive a private jet is and much more maintaining it.. you will know it will take more than offering and tithe from members to buy and maintain such. Not possible..

I heard a popular man of God who pastors over 20,000 people in Auchi say one day all the offering of the church can't even buy a car engine..Yet if that man of God is blessed by God to own a private jet..Some daft ignorant folks who have never giving offering or tithe in church will say it's members tithe and offerings.I laugh at their ignorance.

watchwoman:

Yes they do, some four years ago, they even compiled a list of tithe defaulters and surprisingly my name was on list, I had to take my tithe card to show them that it had to be an error because I had paid my tithes up to date.

It's really appalling here, you can't even participate in church elections if you are not a faithful tither.

watchwoman:
Personally, I have stopped paying my tithe since March this year

First of all, after reading the biblical instructions contained in Deuteronomy , I saw that tithe was one tenth of your increase, and since I don't work, I don't have any increase, so why should I pay any money when I don't have anything that yields increase?

So I took the decision to stop paying my tithe till further notice.
mind you, the way my church in particular takes tithing I find it weird even to the extent that a child in my church has a tithe card, I have paid my tithe since I was like maybe 9 or 10 years of age.

Why should a child have a tithe card in the first place? what does a child know about Tithing? God will help us

pacretus:
I noticed that 3 in 5 persons,are against tithing or giving in church.and 1 out of this 3 persons that're in favour don't give.However, tithing and giving is one very important aspect of christianity .I pay my tithes,(not faithfully) give my firstfruit, etc and i must say,God has been faithful in his own way towards me financially,health wise and otherwise.
A very good instance,was a day i entered a church and decided to empty all my financial substance to God,i mean my last kobo without the hope of what to eat the next day.and miraclously the next day God provided,raw beans and some mighty onions,so that day was fixed up till now. This is just a little of my giving story.

somehow:
Ok, please move on and let those who have points stop by.

I have just did. The pastor is fake no need to argue with him That pastor is just speaking based on what he understand.The book of Genesis to Revelation were not written for written sake. They're the false prophets the Bible talk of because
the elect will be deceived to their skims.

petra1:
It is an insult to Call Abraham’s tithe merely war booty . What he gave was tithe to a priest not war booty to a king .

Galatians 3:7
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Abraham is our father of faith . God gave him the revelation of tithing . He taught it to his followers . Isaac learnt it from him and Jacob learnt it from isaac . If we call Abraham tithemerely war booty. What do we call Jacob tithe ? Another war booty ? And was it another king that received it? They had many priests those days .
Tithe is tithe in every generation . The structure may be different . Just as prayer is prayer in every generation and prayer structure may be different . How the Jews prayed is different from how jesus taught his disciples to pray and it’s different from joe the church pray now by the holy ghost . But in s this things prayer is to God . Tithe is to God . Offering is to God

deebrain:

Don't only wrap your head. break it instead.
I'm anti religious. But I do pay tithe to pastors that their messages bless me.
And I always get remarkable blessing practically for it, financially. I don't do all these your Bible arguments of stupidity. Obedience to what your Bible told you, I think you Christians should start learning it.
Shior.

deebrain:



You must be a compound idiot for your assumptions.

I'm anti religious. And even we love to pay tithe -and even understand the benefits more than you rogues.

felixomor:


Even satan gives scriptures. No big deal.
I already showed where tithes started before law.
Nothing more

RESPONSE: There were predominantly farmers and tithed what the had and what came in as income.

Hilaskee:
What he did is highly commendable and ought to be emulated by all but this is not tithe.
