Where is ur sense

stagger:
Tithe is paid to the church where you receive spiritual instruction. It is not paid to the needy and certainly not paid to a pastor or man of God.

Giving is a 5-fold ministry.
a) Tithe - 10% of your increase or income.

From your 90%, you can then give as follows:

- to your parents
- to a man of God (prophetic offering), which ideally is given once in a while.
- to the poor and needy.
- chruch offering during services.

Of these last 4, giving to your parents in my mind should carry more weight than giving to the poor or prophetic offering.

Paying your tithe comes with a blessing only God can give, which is protection of your finances (rebuking the devourer). A poor man cannot offer that.

It is better you ask God for yourself and receive an answer in that regard.

femy080:
tithe are to be paid to the church but offering can be given out.

God will punish u

OK...but truly...his a better idiot than you are.
So let me keep believing him jor.

LET ME JUST GRAB MY SEAT AND POPCORN...

AS USUAL THE LIE PEDDLER THE BLACKMAILER THE STORY FABRICATOR AND THE FAKE LAWYER AND SCAMMER HAVE COME OUT WITH SOMETHING NEW ABOUT HIS BELOVED “ABATTOIR"

Emeka who himself is currently incarcerated had sent a message to his DPA followers claiming that their protest paid off as the Nigerian police have now “began to feed” and properly take care of the prisoners in the Abattoir, and have so far released over 100 inmates from the Abattoir.
In his message dated Monday 22 October (written on DPA Facebook wall) Emeka urged his members to continue their protest until the abattoir is shut down.

Dear Nigerian’s Abattoir Never Existed. If only you truly know this man called Emeka. This is just blackmail in his attempt to cause a protest and backlash against the police from his followers and many other Nigerians whom do not know him.
Firstly let us ask a few questions,

1. How did Emeka know that the inmates are now well fed and taken care off, is he (Emeka) currently imprisoned in this very ABATTOIR?
2. How did Emeka know that over 100 inmates have been released from abattoir, did the police authorities tell him this in his own prison cell?
3. Whom are these 100 inmates that were released as claimed by the super hero Emeka? Don’t they have Name’s, or contact addresses so we can reach them.
4. Why don’t they tell their stories themselves and give their own account of the existence and events in the abattoir. How come the super hero Emeka is speaking for them all even from his own prison cell.
5. Where is the location of this abattoir? Why is the local news media not talking about it? Why is no journalist investigating this or interviewing victims of the Abattoir.

Emeka who claims to have teams of unfortunate misguided lawyers working for him, why didn’t they petition the senate, why didn’t he petition the presidency and Human rights watch over the existence of “ABATTOIR"
All the while emeka never published the video for the world to see rather he released it on the day the police came to arrest him over other numerous crimes and offences he had committed.

Emeka has zero reputation and zero integrity. He knew that he would be arrested soon for other offences committed, he made an introductory video of an imaginary so called ABATTOIR in other to blackmail the police.

Emeka is a cheap blackmailer he is hunted and wanted for so many offences including fraud and blackmail. He currently have so many cases against him in court as filed by his victims.

If you have ever had a fall out with Emeka he comes at you with blackmail. He peddles lies and fabricates unreal stories to destroy you. That is exactly what he has done to the police.

Suddenly suddenly he (A PRISONER HIMSELF) now claims everything is now okay in the Abattoir that the prisoners are now well fed and over 100 have been released therefore his well DECEIVED members is to donate money to pay his lawyers and help meet his bail bond.

Soon he will come up with his FAKE lies that an Abattoir (which never existed) have been shut down and his many BRAIN DEAD followers will cheer him up like super hero.

WHAT A CRIMINAL

It’s A Sin To Pay Tithe – Pastor Chris Ojigbani
thewhistler.ng Oct 20, 2017 5:02 PM
tithing
Pastor Chris Ojigbani, the founder and Senior Pastor of Covenant Singles and Married Ministries says the paying of tithes in Churches is wrong and not biblical.

Read his full sermon:

For hundreds of years, Christians incur the wrath of God by paying and receiving tithe. Though the doctrine of tithe is popular and generally accepted in Christianity, it’s a wrong doctrine. It’s actually a sin to pay tithe and it’s equally a sin to receive tithe in Christianity. The doctrine is generally accepted because of the misinterpretation of some tithe related scriptures.

A misinterpretation of a scripture can lead many generations astray. In like manner, the misinterpretation of tithe related scriptures has led many Christian generations astray. Before explaining the true meaning of the scriptures, it’s important I first explain what tithe means.

What is tithe?

Tithe as an English word means one tenth or 10 percent. Tithe in the scripture means a mandatory 10 percent of one’s increase (Deuteronomy 14:22).

How often did Israelites give Tithe?

The tithe system had a seven-year cycle. The Israelites were mandated to give tithe on the first year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year and sixth year. They didn’t give tithe on the seventh year because they weren’t allowed to farm on the seventh year. It was called the Sabbath year or the sabbatical year. On that year, they would allow the land to lie fallow (Exodus 23:10-11) (Leviticus 25:1-7). So, because they used agricultural products as tithe, they never gave tithe on the Sabbath year.

The Types of Tithe

There were basically three types of tithe practiced by Israelites.

First, was the Levitical tithe or the first tithe (Numbers18:21-24), and it was given yearly to the Levites. This first tithe is the doctrine of tithe practiced by Christians.

The second tithe was called the tithe of feasts. In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would eat the tithe himself at a place the Lord will choose for him This tithe was done on the first year, second year, fourth year and fifth year of the seven-year cycle (Deuteronomy 14:22-27).

The third tithe was the poor man’s tithe, which was done on the third and sixth year. In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would give the tithe to strangers, widows, fatherless and Levites to eat and be satisfied (Deuteronomy 14:28-29).

Amongst the three kinds of tithe, Christians wrongly practice the first one, which is also called the Levitical tithe. I will quickly show you why it’s a sin to pay or receive tithe in this dispensation.

Why It’s a Sin to Pay or Receive Tithe

When God gave the commandment of tithe, He clearly stated who would pay the tithe; who would receive the tithe; and the purpose for receiving the tithe. He said the tithe would be paid by Israelites (except those from the tribe of Levi). He said that only the Levites were permitted to receive tithe and also said it was for their service in the tabernacle of the congregation. God actually gave them the tithe as an inheritance (Numbers18: 21-24).

For you to be eligible to pay tithe, you have to come from any of the tribes of Israel, apart from the tribe of Levi.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Numbers 18:24

Though Gentile Christians are children of Abraham, we were not given any tribe. As long as you don’t have an Israeli’s international passport, you are not eligible to give tithe. The instruction was very specific.

Second, if you are eligible to give tithe, you are permitted to give the tithe only to one set of people called the Levites

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Numbers18: 21-24

The Levites are simply those from the tribe of Levi. Even in the New Testament of the Bible, the scripture clearly tells us that only the Levites are permitted to receive tithe (Hebrews 7:5). If you give your tithe to non-Levite, you are going against God’s instruction. And it will be counted against you as a sin. I will also like to state that there is nothing like spiritual Levites. We may have spiritual Israelites but not spiritual Levites or spiritual Benjaminite. I will also like to state here that priests did not receive tithe from the Israelites. The Israelites gave their tithe to Levites and Levites would then give 10 percent of the tithe to Priests (Numbers 18:26-28).

Third, for you to be eligible to receive tithe, you must be a Levite. It’s very clear in the scripture. When a non-Levite receives tithe, the person has gone against the instruction of God. Such person has committed a sin. If you are not from the tribe of Levi, then you are not a Levite. There is nothing like a spiritual Levite. This explains why Jesus Christ, who was from the tribe of Judah, didn’t receive tithe from anyone. Apart from the fact that Jesus didn’t ask the Israelites to pay tithe to him, He still encouraged them to continue paying their tithe. In Matthew 22:23, He rebuked the Pharisees that they pay tithe, which is less important, and leave the more important things like justice, mercy and faithfulness. He then encouraged them to do both the less important ones and the more important ones. In other words, He encouraged them to continue paying tithe to the Levites. That was simply the law. Only Levites could receive tithe.

If Jesus Christ who was from Israel couldn’t receive tithe because He didn’t come from the tribe of Levi, how then can a non-Israeli pastor from Africa or America be entitled to receive tithe? This also explains why Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul and the other apostles couldn’t receive tithe from anyone. Though they were men of God, they couldn’t receive tithe because they were not Levites. It will also interest you that presently we have some non-Levite Jewish Rabbis who are in charge of synagogues but do not receive tithe. Though they are Rabbis and are “physical” citizens of Israel, they don’t receive tithe because the law does not permit them. Any non-Levite who receives tithe sins grievously against God.

Finally, tithe cannot be paid or received in this dispensation because the purpose of giving tithe to Levites can no longer be fulfilled now. Why did God command that tithe should be given to the Levites?

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers18:21

Levites were given the tithe simply because they serve at the temple of congregation. But because the temple has been destroyed, the Levites can no longer serve at the temple. So, even if you are eligible to give or receive tithe, you cannot give or receive tithe now because the temple has been destroyed. Do you know that no Israelite pays or receives tithe today. Yes, they have stopped giving tithe until the temple is rebuilt. Please note that when the temple is rebuilt, Christians will still not join the Jews in paying and receiving tithe because the tithe system was not created to cater for Christians. Rather, it was created to cater for Levites. This explains why the early Christians who existed before the temple was destroyed never neither paid nor received tithe.

As Abraham’s children, are we not Israelites?

A person once asked, “If we are children of Abraham and also heir to his blessings, are we not Israelites? That you are a child of Abraham does not make you Jewish. You are still a Gentile, but because you have given your life to Christ, you receive his blessings. So, you don’t receive Abraham’s blessings because you pay tithe but because you have given your life to Christ.

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (Galatians 3:14, NIV)

The scripture above still calls us Gentiles. Even though we may be spiritual Israelites, we are still Gentiles and as such are not Levites. We are not permitted to pay or receive tithe.

Understanding Abraham’s Tithe to Melchizedek

Though Abraham once gave tithe to Melchizedek, the doctrine of tithe practiced in Christianity is different. While tithe is one tenth of one’s increase, Abraham didn’t give one tenth of his increase. Rather, he gave one tenth of the spoils he got from war. Though he was very rich, he didn’t touch his increase.

Second, Abraham’s tithe was a one-time gift. He didn’t give it every month or every year unlike the monthly tithe practiced in Christianity. In addition, tithe in the scripture was mandatory while Abraham’s tithe was voluntary. Abraham didn’t pay the tithe because any law said he should pay it. He paid it of his own volition. This explains why his son Isaac didn’t pay tithe. Even his grand son Jacob didn’t pay tithe as well. Though Jacob vowed to give God one tenth, it wasn’t tithe. It was a personal vow he made that if God would protect and bless him, he would give Him one tenth of the blessing.

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:

And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. Genesis 28:20-22

Jacob’s vow was also a one-time one and voluntary. It wasn’t every month or every year.

Finally, Abraham didn’t give the tithe to Melchizedek for us to emulate him and start giving tithe. And even if we are to emulate him, then you can only give tithe from spoils you get from war. That means for you to give tithe, you would need to go for a war, win the war and bring the spoil. Abraham’s tithe cannot be used to teach people to pay tithe.

Understanding Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat 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. Malachi 3:10

Many people have asked me questions regarding Malachi 3:10. One person once asked me “If we are not supposed to pay tithe, what does Malachi 3:10 mean?” The answer is very simple. Malachi 3:10 doesn’t refer to the congregation. It rather refers to priests. Yes, the scripture speaks to priests. For better understanding, I will take you to the Book of Numbers. In Chapter 18 of the Book, verses 25-29, the Bible says that when the Levites receive the tithe of the people, they should also take a tithe of the tithe and give to priests. In verse 32, the Bible say that when they present the best part, they will not be guilty and they will not defile the holy offerings. Also in Nehemiah 10:38, the Bible also says that priests and Levites should bring the tithe of tithe to the storeroom of God.

A priest descended from Aaron is to accompany the Levites when they receive the tithes, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of the tithes up to the house of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury. Nehemiah 10:38, NIV

So, it happened that the priests in those days were not taking the tithe of tithe to the storehouse of God. And God was angry and warned them in Malachi 3:10. To really know who God spoke to in Malachi 3:10, it’s better to go to Chapter 2:1 where the instruction started.

And now, you priests, this warning is for you. Malachi 2:1, NIV

The warning continued from Chapter 2 until it got to Chapter 3, verse 10.

So, the scripture was a warning to priests and not a warning to the congregation.

Conclusion

It’s a sin to pay or receive tithe. If you are a Christian do not pay tithe again so that you don’t incur the wrath of God. If Israelites do not pay tithe now, then why should you, a non-Israelite pay tithe. Even if you are a spiritual Israelite, why should you pay tithe whereas the physical Israelites don’t?

If you are a man of God, please do not receive tithe again so that you don’t incur the wrath of God. If Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter, and co didn’t receive tithe, why then should you receive tithe? There are many other kinds of offering you can receive. You can receive the regular offering, partnership offering, sacrificial offering, but not tithe. The tithe system is against the poor. Yes, the tithe system takes from the poor to take care of the rich. But we are supposed to take from the rich and take care of the poor. You must stop now! Why am I telling you this? It is an instruction from the Lord. Can the instruction be found in the Bible?

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. – 2 Timothy4:2

The above scripture clearly says rebuke and correct wrong doctrines.

A revival has actually started. Yes, it has started. And because it’s of God, no one can stop it. I encourage you to join the revival. A true revival is not gathering together to pray but identifying errors, recognizing the truth, and start practicing the truth.

He who has ears, let him hear.

God bless you Christianity.

God bless you Christians.

And God bless you!

Shalom!

Cry cry babies everywhere

Yoruba news....

Abeg. Make una go sleep

.......

Because you and buhari want him dead at all cost just like you killed ken saro wiwa.

His in hiding becos his smarter than those who want him dead.

However....what do u want with him now

IPOB a terrorist group....?

To Muhamadu Buhari...you can never kill everybody in a village no matter how small the village is.

Ipob (Indigenous People of BIAFRA) in my view is not a group. Its a PEOPLE....a people that claim ownership of a territory / region they call BIAFRA. A people who believe their identity is Biafran and their land is Biafra.

By implication anyone who hales from within the territory of Biafra is an indigenous person.

There has been no record of violence, killings looting, harassment during their crusades or teachings.

In what way do they terrorize you and the Nigerian state....whom have they killed or maimed. Whom have they extorted harassed or beaten.

It is obvious the multicolored flag, terrorizes the Nigerian state. The growing numbers and strength of the indigenous people frighten the Nigerian government.

The Nigerian government trembles when they hear the voices of the people calling for referendum.

The support and recognition they receive from international communities terrify the Nigerian Govt.

This is the only reason why they are called terrorists nothing more.

Its known that Desperate attempts have been made before by the Nigerian state to label IPOB ...terrorists. But this has failed many times.

Its laughable because the terrorists ipob (people with no guns) is registered in over 100 countries across the world. They are recognized and supported by world institutions like the UN EU AU etc.

Eastern Nigerian have been. Largely peaceful and almost crime free. But the people are aggrieved hence the call for Biafra.

The asked for a debate on Biafra. Nnamdi kanu said "Defeat me with words of argument and not with bullets"

Don't bring war and destruction to a people who only asked that you allow them vote in a referendum that would decide their future in the Nigerian state.

Its ideal, civil and democratic to Convince the people why Biafra is not necessary.

Don't shoot at them to silence them. Its inhuman and barbaric. They only made a call with the mouth they had no guns or bullets but their call was sadly responded to with rain of bullets by the Nigerian State.

This was Same thing done to ken Saro Wiwa and Niger delta agitators when he made their calls.

The Nigerian Muslim denominated army kill in other to forcefully intimidate you into submission to them.

That is how Islam is built.....with a knife to your throat they force you to convert or die. They intimidate you into submission.

Now they are putting guns to our heads to force us to accept the Nigerian state. They are now holding us hostage with death threats if we speak Biafra, dream biafra or even remenber biafra.

To Muhamadu Buhari...you can never kill everybody in a village no matter how small the village is. there must be escapee survivors....who will tell the story to the next generation who will likely rise again against your children..

The agitation will never die...you can kill Kanu but you can never kill his idea. You can never kill Biafra.

.....

Oga speak for ur self. Only....please
I am full blooded deltan too.....but Biafra is my choice

IPOB is not exclusively igbos only...please get this into your skull.

When its time for referendum.....please vote and let me vote...

Thank you Charles.
I love your piece.......

Joe igbokwe have gone into hiding since after you destroyed him....no one have heard from him again.

Nigeria have only just discovered a writer like you exist.

I might have a job for u...
Will connect u soon

Many are mad but few are roaming...
I can see u ROAMING...

Go with God Bro.

Ok we have hear....oya rest

Just like they (APC) dressed up some Northeners the other day to pose like Niger Delta youths in support of Buhari.......

Now they have dressed up some people claiming to be igbos to pose in support of Buhari...

APC....i hail thee.
