this is my testimony.... in september 2013, i prayed and asked God that i want to pay my tithe for that month, although i had no income and was jobless, staying at home, at mid september nothing happened...i did not lose faith, as the Lord may have it, i got a job by ending of september and i worked for a week and got paid, so i am gonna pay my september tithe.... And i praise God for His mercies, grace and faithfulness. When i pay my tithe, i dont just take my money to the church, i kneel down and lift it up to God as a sacrifice, just like Abel did, and i pray and ask God to accept my Sacrifice as He accepted Able's own. God bless us all. 2 Likes |

I see many pple are getting this *simple* thing wrong.. Tithing, First fruit et al are personal volution, nt commandment.. If u do it, it comes with its blessing, if u dnt do it, u will still be blessed. The salient point WE ARE all missing is GIVING.. Tithing was not mentiond in d New Testament, but giving (offerings, to the poor, for evangelism, missions) was over emphasizd. So if u want to pay tithe, pls go on.. If u dnt want to pay, pls go on too.. Just try and help someone in need 3 Likes |

In Malachi 3v10, God commanded that we should bring forth our tithes. Remmember that when you pay your tithe, 3 things happen: 1- God will open the gates of heaven and shower you with blessings that your household cannot contain 2- He will rebuke the devourer for your sake like armedrobbers, and the likes 3- He will take away sickness from your dwelling. Ever since I started paying my tithe, I hvae not fallen ill not even any mamber of my family, we have never seen sorrow, God has been blessing us. So for those of you who will prefer to use more that 50% of your salary to eat nkwobi and Gulder and deny God just his own commanded 10% will surely pay for it. Pastor Kun: Tithing as popular as it is in churches is one of the least understood doctrines in churches today. Even several preachers that preach it don't fully understand it and it's negative implication to the gospel of Christ they just preach it because it means more money in their pockets. However since a few of my brethen and myself started this enlightenment campaign on the biblical truth about tithes, a lot of NL members have come to the knowledge of truth about tithes and stopped being fleeced of their income. 2 Likes |

We don't even know if pastor kum or kin is re.tar.ded, a herbalist, an atheist or whatever. But because his rants bear some people's mind, they fall for it like a pros.ti.tu.te that they are without seeing the bait that will lead them to perdition. You don't discern the bible with sense but by the help of the Holy Spirit. That's why an illiterate can know God and a professor in atomic physics will claim there's no God. Point is, be led by the Spirit....pls tell dem dey really need to no ..for me d bible is wat it is or it isn't ,if it is ah see no reason y we all should believe wat it says if we tag ourselves christian and if it isn't den we all re in big trouble ..ah believe dis is one of d reasons y jesus said not all dat say lord lord will enter heaven n beware of false prophets n test every spirit if it's of God n how can we do dis if we re not even filled wit d spirit ourselves ..study ur bible n ask d holy spirit to give u understandin and stop believin every tin dat u hear |

How can i stop tithing when am planning to give God the 90 percent and take the 10 percent ! The one tenth(Tithe) is God's -Leveticus 27:30 Psalm 24:1 Mal 3:8 Hagai 2:8 Tithe was commissioned before the law Genesis 14 :18-22 and Genesis 28:20-22 Tithe was commended during the law Deutronomy 26:2-3 And Leveticus 27:30-32 Mal 3:10-11 Tithing was commended during the time of Jesus -Mathew 23:23 Tithing advances the kingdom-Mal 3:10 Tithing blesses both the church and the tither.-Mal 3:10 God wrote tithing in our hearts No wonder Abraham and Jacob gave their tithes without been told by anyone to do so becos it's a heart thing! God expects tithe from us ! Tithing blesses both the church and the tither ! Tithing is absolutely positively new testament-Hebrews 7,5,4 and 8 were all talking about how Christians should tithe ! We all know who Jesus is,if he was not in support of tithing,HE would had condemned it right from Mathew 23:23 as HE did with so many other laws like stoning of the adulterous,divorce,Sabbath,paying of taxes,washing of hands before meal and so many others ! But see what HE said to the teachers in the presence of HIS disciples: “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.-Mathew 23:23 He supported tithing immidiately by saying yes you should tithe but HE rebuked them for not doing other important things contained in the book !-justice, mercy, and faith ! I will be back to tell you more about Hebrew ! God help us |

Where is the sense in giving "God' 10% of what God gave you so he can open the windows of heaven to pour more unto you so the circle can continue? Would a father expect his children to give him 10% of the 'pocket money ' he gives them so as to give them more? Jesus preached mostly on generous giving and frown on compulsory giving. Any compulsory giving lacks dignity and no blessing is attached to it says our lord Jesus Christ. 3 Likes |

Do you know that Jesus Christ has a job? Incase u dont know. He is (1.) A SHEPHERED. (2.) TEACHER. (3.) A CARPENTER..........because His mothers husband Joseph was a carpenter, so he do assist him. Now tell me WHY our nowadays religious leaders refuse to work, instead indulging in advance fraud, 419. They collect 10% PLUS other attachment for God, what do we see, EXORTIC MANSION, COOL RIDE, PRIVATE JET, FAT BANK ACCOUNT...ETC My question is that: 1. if TITHE is truly compusory for all men and women, how does pastors pay theirs 2. The deciples how do pay theirs 3. What does Jesus say about tithe in a clear words, not the one to be interpreted by holy ghost oh. 4. how many places in the bible do they mention TITHE in the bible 5. Do you think the total numbers of churches we have now would be in absence of tithe. 6. Why is it that the only major things our Pastors copy and paste from the OLD testament is ONLY tithe, YYYYYYYY.

[quote author=rezzy]Praise the Lord, my testimony goes like this, You anti tithe Christians have not been able to confuse me. I still pay my tithe. Praise Master Jesus. Halleluyah[/] Just hope, only hoping we can learn and say no to this sinful acts called tithe and offering The greedy pastors and their corhot have created a centerpiece of worship that violated Jesus Christ as much as possible, while deceiving the people into thinking that they were honoring Him. They have set up a service that could be repeated daily that would "strike" Jesus again and again, putting Him back on that cross daily. You see, the Apostle Paul clearly told us that the Messiah was to be only struck once, and that the reason Moses got into such trouble with God was that he struck the rock the second time, rather than speaking to it the second time. Jesus was that Rock [1 Corinthians 10:4], and so when Moses struck the rock the second time to get water, he not only disobeyed God who told him to speak to the rock, he struck Messiah twice. All the way through the Book to the Hebrews, the author speaks of the "once and for all" sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus died only once on the cross, and then went to the right hand of the Father. We see that the sacrifice was so excellent and so accepted by the Father, that it need never be repeated again. In fact, we are prohibited from ever repeating it again. The writer to the Hebrews boldly states, "... we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." [10:10] Therefore, these greedy pastors and church ministers wanted to violate God's mandate the most severely, they created a ceremony that sacrificed Jesus Christ again and again and again, that could be repeated daily all over the world, all the while deceiving the people into thinking they were glorifying Jesus Christ. Of course, I am speaking of the tithes, the offerings, first fruit offering and etc, which does exactly this. Then, if that were not enough damage done to the finished, once-for-all sacrifice on the cross, They, have preached the gospel of money, tithe, offering as condition for God's blessing that would keep Jesus on the cross permanently. This preaching of higher offering for higher blessing will make the people continue thinking of buying blessing with money,hence, constantly keeping Jesus Christ on the Cross where they wanted Him to be, not at the Father's Right Hand in Glory... They have just prevented Salvation from being possible , for anyone who practiced the tithe for blessing and offering for sin atonement. How is this impossible, you ask? Listen to the writer to the Hebrews, speaking under the authority of the Holy Spirit. "If they then deviate from the faith ... it is impossible to bring them back to repentance ... as long as they nail up on the cross the Son of God afresh ... and are holding Him up to contempt and shame and public disgrace." [Hebrews 6:6, Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary].. Holding Jesus Christ continuously up to contempt and public disgrace is exactly what the tithe and offerings accomplishes. In fact, their members are encouraged to pay price for the blessing and sin daily. They have attacked the all-perfect sacrifice for sins which Jesus' death accomplished. Even though Jesus' last words on the cross were, "It is finished" [a Greek commercial word, "teleo" which means "Paid in Full"]. They lie that, while Jesus' sacrifice opened the way for mankind to ultimately reach Heaven, it did not remove all the stain of man's sin. Men and women must remove as much of this sin stain as possible throughout their lives by paying tithe, giving offering and even paying more money. Thus, they made Salvation in the Church a matter of Faith plus tithe and offerings, a matter against which the Apostle Paul struggled mightily in the early Christian Church. As Paul said succinctly, "For it is by Grace ye are saved, not by works ..." [Ephesians 2:8]. They are all anti-Christ's leading people to sin. Those who has ear should hear tithe and offering are not, I repeat are not eternal principles. |
Re: Testimonies On Why We Stopped Tithing Here by Nobody: 2:48pm On Oct 06, 2013 |
By the grace of God, I don't just bring every 10% to God as tithes, but I also add at least 3% to it, ie, at least 13% at tithes, excluding my generous givings, offerings and sacrifices and vows, and I do see the hand of God mighty upon me and overshadowingly on me . Let me give us a personal testimony on how God saved me. Around 1st of October, 2012 being Monday, someone gave me N1000, and my tithe should be N100, but then, I proposed to give more that it as tithe, but I said its small, so I will not pay it on Sunday been 7th. All this is happening in my heart, and I never told any. Then, early hours of that Sunday Morning, I discovered that the rapture had taking place and I did not make it. However, I was happy that every member of my family made it, because it seems I prayed for them before sleeping, and I said that I will never take the mark when tribulation started. To my surprise, I was told that one of the reason was that I never paid the tithe when I ought to, though I later used my blood to ransom myself. All this was happening as if its that Sunday evening. As I waked, it was all a dream and its that Sunday morning, I began to shade tears and asking God for mercy and also thanking HIM. I gave the tithe that day. Anyone, who wants to go to heaven, should not just be holy, but also give God the tithe. I was even asked of the tithe and not if I give more than it. Beware of false teachers. You and I must tithe. GOD BLESS US ALL ALWAYS IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME, AMEN. 1 Like |

Most of those who tithe these days are those who cut corners by stealing from govt through contracts or steal from employees by shortchanging them. Most of these cr-oo-ks think they can cheat their fellow man and bribe God. I know a man who owns a company. He doesn't pay his workers well but donates mightily to the church. To this I ask, is he trying to please God who he does not see and cheat his fellowman? And the realisation that most of these tithing churches are family churches where the husband is the head and the wife is the deputy annoys me the more. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Saul the king of Israel thought he could bribe God. But God dealt with him and told him, "Behold to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams" 1 Like |

Re: Testimonies On Why We Stopped Tithing Here by frevangel(m): 3:01pm On Oct 06, 2013 |
I have read through the thread and note some points: 1. Most people who defend tithing have never studied tithing themselves from the scriptures and have no or partial knowledge of Tithing in the scriptures. 2. The assumption that anyone who does not believe in tithing does not also believe in "giving". 3. The assumption that it worked for them hence it must be from God. Let me start by saying all my life, I believed in tithing and taught it for many years as I have been a church leader for so long. But when I finally decided to study on my own, I realized a lot that has not been said about tithing. Let's take a look at the scriptures and you decide for yourself according to the Word....... 6 Likes |
