Guy for d umpteenth time, i am not a pastor, but a Christian First, let's look at the defintion and purpose of the tithe. The main principle behind tithing and giving is the fact that what we do with our money shows where our heart is. Matthew 6:21 says "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." When we are able to give 10% or more of our income instead of keeping that money for ourselves, it shows that our heart isn't tied to our money and that welove God more than our money.
The Bible mentions money over 800 times and of all of Jesus' parables, more than half of them talked about money. Why? Because that is where so many people get tripped up! When we are able to release at least 10% of our income back to God, our money doesn't have as tight of a hold on us because we realize that God is in control of our finances. We remember that everything we have has been given to us by Him. Even though most of us probably work for the money we make each month, even God has his hand there - He has given us the ability to do our jobs. Many who grasp what God has truly given them seem to agree that 10% doesn't even feel like enough! Is Tithing Mandatory? some people find issue with idea of tithing being "mandatory" or "required" - as if it is something that keeps believers in bondage.
But do God's standards really keep us in bondage? Just like God tells us to keep sex within marriage, to love one another and to seek first His kingdom, tithing is a blessing to our lives and something that will help better our lives (as well as help the lives of others).
We are not saved by works, thus failing to tithe will not necessarily send you to hell, but doing so will help improve your life and strengthen your relationship with God. I personally don't believe that God will curse us if we don't tithe, but I do believe He will help us escape the curse that is already in the world if we do. Old Testament vs. New Testament Tithing Practices Whether the tithe is only for Old Testament or if it is also included in the New Testament is probably the most debated issue. The scripture most frequently referenced regarding the tithe is indeed in the Old Testament (Malachi 3:10-12), but the tithe is also referenced in the New Testament. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus talks to the Pharisees, condemning them for tithing to the penny but neglecting the moreimportant issues of justice, mercyand faith. He then goes on to tell them that they should in fact tithe, but that they shouldn't neglect the more important things. Jesus recognized the importance of keeping the tithe and we should, too. There are many practices in the Old Testament that don't make sense to us today, yet many of these ancients ways carry over to the New Testament law of grace as part of Christ's promise to not abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). For instance we no longer sacrifice animals but asbelievers we are called to offer ourselves up as a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1). Men no longer are required to be circumcised, but we all have a circumcision of the heart through the Holy Spirit (Rom 2:29). Most of us don't have grain and produce to bring to the storehouse, but we do have incomes that we can bring the first tenth of into the church. In other words, just because something is written in the Old Testament doesn't mean it lacks application to us today in some way or another. When I think of Christians asking themselves whether "tithing" is commanded in the Bible, is an OldTestament or New Testament teaching, I wonder how many of these Christians "send back" the many scriptural blessings God has given His people in the Old Testament. How many people when they are blessed and given hope through the mention of God's works, words etc. through the Old Testament Scriptures say ‘I don't receive this or that blessing or confirmation because it's in the Old Testament'?"
While it is true that we are no longer under the old law, that we are under grace, we must not forget the purpose of grace: to help us live for God and do the things He wants us to do. Romans 8:4 tells us that Jesus came that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, not so that we could altogether dismiss it.
And Romans 3:21-31 talks about how we have righteousness through faith and not through following the law, but verse 31 adds "Do we,then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law."
God's grace gives us the power and ability to tithe!
see am done with this topic, i believe, i have made my point, based on God's word The blessings of tithing is what you see and experience, so am not talking abstracly If you are truely born again and u continue to grow in Christ and YOU HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, you will have absolutely no problem with tithing Christianity is not a religion but a way of life I, as a person, am ready to give as much as i can to the gospel, not only in tithe alone, cos without the gospel i am a Nobody, the gospel gave me all i have and It is the most valuable thing in the world!!.PS : am done typing and with this topic. this isnt about winning an argument for me, but about enlightening you as Christian to Christian, on an important Christian issue.

Old Testament vs. New Testament

No one is talking about justification by fauth with you, and am noy saying justification comes by tithing but ....
proverbs 3 vs 9 -10 says
"Honour the Lord with your wealth, and the first fruit of all your crops and your barn will be filled with over flowing, and your Vats will brim over with new wine"
If the world and everything in it truly belong to the Lord, why wouldn’t this principle be true?
This isn’t the only time that the Lord promises his people that he’ll reward generosity with plenty (Deut. 15:10; Prov. 11:25; Malachi 3:8–12).
The challenge is that one must have the faith to give sacrificially to see if the Lord keeps his word.
The robbing of God (Mal. 3:8–9)Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me.
But you say, “How have we robbed you?” In your tithes and contributions.
You are cursed with a curse, for youare robbing me, the whole nation of you"
for further study....
-Testing God in the tithe (Mal.3:10–12)
-Giving in secret (Matt. 6:1–4)
-The faithful giver (Mark 12:41–44)
-.Tithing and justice (Luke 11:42)
- Tithing and pride (Luke 18:9–14)
In the end, tithing wasn’t something God's people did in the same way we mindlessly toss a gratuity down with our bill at a restaurant.
It was an intentional practice through which God intended to teach his people about his sovereign ownership of everything.
Instead of being consumers of their blessings, they had to stop and think through just how much blessing they had.
Through the tithe, God took care of his people—and through the act of generous giving, God continues to bless his people.
Thanks and God bless you.

Am not speaking to you on d basis of being a pastor, but on d bases of being a Christian

am honouring God with what he has given by sowing to his church, simple!!, what his servants in charge of that church does with the money is between them and God!!!

God acknowledges my giving and blesses me for

itsimple!!!!!!!

is it that hard to understand ?

see am a very successful individual all thanks 100% to God, and i pay my tithe with joy and happiness without anybody asking me to

I can pay my tithe or sow to church or to institutions or organizations propagating the gospel of christ, or to NGOs and missions as am being led.

The laws of sowing and reaping is real my brother

The bible also encourages us to do so (cos financeis need for the advancement of the kingdom)

THE GOD THAT ADMONISHED US TO TITHE IS NOT STUPID

so am not tithing based on what a pastor said, but on what God says

and if you say am a fool (like millions of other people in the world who also tithe)

then you are calling God the most wisest, most glorious, most loving, most powerfull, most kind, most loving, most holy, foolish

but if you are a born again christian and you grow spiritually to some certain extents you will understand better

there are two things in life Man's freewill and God's sovereignty.

holybabayo:
Let me first state the fact. Some people say tithing is of the Law and as christian they are not under the Law and should not pay tithe. Others say that tithing preceded the Law; that it was practiced by Abraham who was born and lived before the Law. Some others teach that Jesus Jesus did not preach about it; He considered it a little matter and also condemned a man that was basing his righteousness on his paying his tithes of all.
My Position on this debate is ...(1)Tithing is beyond the Law; it is a practice that people do ever before God spoke about it. As such it can still be practice freely by christian. (2) Christians are not required to pay tithes. (3). There is still a blessing for paying tithe now as there has always been. (4) It is very wise and smart to pay tithe now. (5)People that are christian and refuse to pay tithe should learn to give gifts or make donations to be blessed. (4) It is not a curse to not pay tithe now, but it is a blessing to pay.
The choice is yours. If you refuse to pay your, don't let any pastor or devil intimated you for not paying. But also know that you are losing out on the blessings of tithing. I will advice you to pay your tithes and worry less about enriching your already rich pastors. Yes you can pay your tithes to the poor, fatherless, homeless, beggers. This is not the poor of your family and relations oooo.
Conclusion/recommendation. Make sure you become a committed giver of a good substance of your earnings regularly and periodically to be blessed. Be a blessing to someone; give sacrificially. God blesses a cheerful giver. There is no blessing for not giving at all. Be wise.

Jesus supervised such collection and declared a poor widow who gave her 100% all she had! I wonder why he didn't tell them to return her money or rebuke such extortion from an innocent poor little lady who had next to nothing and if it were you am sure what you would think of Jesus

dalass:
Pot calling kettle black.. Let's stop disgracing Christianity on the air.. Preach gospel of repentance.. All these naming and shaming as if you're better

dalass:

Do us all a fav, count all the laws of the Bible and also go ahead to find out how many you are keeping... At least am not blindly heeding an 'advice' of someone whose life doesn't deserve to be called a Christian.. Daddy freeze.. What a character in which you are decided to emulate.. Yes since you're on his side.
Because of money matter in Church, everybody has become experts on the subject.

dalass:
So who is coercing you, if you didn't know, there are many things Jesus never expressly say including smoking... He even forgave an adultereress whom He was told to judge.. All a bunch of Doctors of Bible when it comes to money matters.. Delusional peeps! How many poor people have you used your money to cater for?

bjcuntis:


Well since we are being sincere with each other. I must tell u, u are living dangerously. Do u really read ur bible Sir? I would still refer u to Malachi 3:10 read the whole of that chapter even. Cos a christian can't be saying whatchu saying sir. U are simply a religious person or better still a church goer. Just being honest. Btw I would recommend u attend winners chapel. I promise u will get more insight on the topic. Stay blessed

An2elect2:
If you have the Holy Spirit like you think, you would have known that tithing isn't for Christians. Stop making yourself look like the wise one and God the fool.

Be humble O man full of pride and poor in Spirit and let God give you wisdom.

dalass:


Leave them, how many people is daddy freeze blessing? Devourer will Come for his share.. God's army for disobedient greedy people..he's experiencing in sowing to others but when the consequences of denying God of what He commands comes, it will be attributed to village people.. Hmmm

itsmeurLady:


Lol.... I laugh in Spanish, Cs Dats the devil's trick and u are falling for it already. Just like MMM, when we were tellin them, they insulted us, called us all kind of names when we told them to stop investing in it, now ask urself today? Where is MMM? Listen, there is a way that seemeth right unto a man but that road leads to destruction. Just so when u start observing funny changes, don't say u were not told. Shalom!

adegeye38:

All your points does not relate wit tithing at all, The advancement of God's kingdom is related to tithe in terms of finance, for the church

YelloweWest:

So if there is no tithe and offering how will the gospel of Christ be preached?

adegeye38:


No one is saying Blessings are not free, but you tithe to God to honour and acknowledge him and to advance the kingdom and not to a pastor anf God blessed you for it, the law of sowing and reaping is real and its in the bible, Daddy freeze just lack proper understanding of God's word, hence he is speaking in extreme ignorance.

itsmeurLady:

For those that will want to support him, check ur life since u have not been paying tithe, has ur finances not been wavering U hav money one minute and then the next minute it's gone, u can't calculate wat u spent the money on.... spend it on family, trips and at the end u will end up not saving of investing anything... when men try to prove smartness, they become foolish in their own eyes.

YelloweWest:

Bro, whether your pastor buys the latest car Z not your biz

ABRAHAM IS GOD'S PORTRAIT OF WHAT BLESSING MEANS NOT BILL GATE OR THIS PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

Isaiah 51:2
look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.

Abraham gave tithe
GEN 14:20
And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you." Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered. So I advise that you keep paying your tithe

If you pay your tithe the following blessings follows you

Malachi 3:10-12

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
11 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.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.



Alot of people will go to hell due to the havoc social media will cause On their Spiritual life

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews12:1

Iseoluwani:


Who is a levite?

Hofbrauhaus:
Oga, talk small small o.

Before they come for you...there is nothing they cannot do. They can arrange for one demon possessed female nairalander to say you raped her and cummed on her brain. These people can do anything.
Demon possessed country. Dark world. Cursed zoo!

DonCandido:
The hitherto highly revered term "Pastor" has taken the toga of a mere honorific which any slowpoke can affect these days to repress his followers. Imagine this man after taking his congregation's money as tithe and bought himself an idiotic toy turns around to mock them by calling them fools?

ysyowel:
Types
1) Levitical or sacred tithe,
2) Feast tithe,
3) Poor tithe,
4) Tithe of tithe.

courseadivsor:


Lol,do you think I actually have time to do this back and forth with you? Find another sparing partner bro

Richdotcom:
Well said.... thanks brother you are so on point.

Under Grace ,which is the dispensation we currently are, we pay tithe directly to Jesus who is now our high priest, represented by the Pastor of your local church .
Primarily, we pay tithe to advance ourselves. We pay tithe to connect to in flow of wealth. Tithing is a channel of recieving financial provisions.
What the pastor decides to do with the tithe is another thing. But Christians do it in line with faith, which was the dispensation the first tithe was paid.

jmichlins:
Please pastor give me just six correct scores. I will play with 50k and pay my tithe completely
