Huge Lie: You Will Not Be Blessed If You Are Not Paying Tithe. by Ukutsgp(m): 8:38am On Dec 09, 2013
Many people think that if you dont pay tithe you will not be blessed. This is a lie as many people dont pay tithe yet God blessed them. We cant earn God's blessing by works. His love and mercy upon us makes him to bless us. Whether we tithe or not God's blessing will still come to us. He will still bless the works of our hand. His love knew no bound.

The scripture:
psalm 1:1.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Abraham was already in God's blessing before he payed tithe. Which he did once.

Genesis 13:1-2, 5-6.
And Abram went up out of Egypt he and his wife, and all that he had and lot with him into the south.
2. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.
5. And Lot also which went with Abram had flocks and herds and tents.
6. And the land was not able to bear them that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

Isaac did not pay tithe yet he was blessed abundantly by God.

Genesis 26:12-14.
Then isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the lord blessed him.
13. And the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great.
14. For he had possession of herds and great store of servants and the philistines envied him.

This doesn't come as a result of tithe.

Job was also blessed despite the fact that there was no record whether he pay tithe.
Job 1:1-3.

We are encourage to give to the poor. We would be blessed if we do so.

Proverb 22:9.
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed for he giveth bread to the poor.

We are blessed also in christ Jesus.
Ephesians 1:3.
Blessed be the God and father of our lord Jesus christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in christ.

We can see that it is not by tithing that we get blessed but it is by God's favour and grace upon a man's life. When we have Jesus, we have access to God's riches and inheritance.
I am in no way saying we should nt give. Infact i give if i hv d means to support God's work but that is not what bring his blessing. His blessing comes as a result of his grace and mercy. We dnt merit it.

All we hv to do is live a holy life unto him and he will favour us.

I dnt pay tithe yet he favours and blessed me everyday. He is a kind God.

Inasmuch as I believe in giving, I keep wondering how some people in the western world are so blessed yet they know nothing about tithe.

However, I can say that although these people appear blessed yet most do not enjoy their blessings, true enjoyable blessings with peace of mind comes only from the Lord by His grace even as you bless others around you and right living.

Tithing is not the only way of blessing but we cannot deny that it is working for some people, in the end it is what you believe and convinced by it that works for you.

And this is from the same bible

Matthew 23:23
King James Version.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Tithing remains the biggest institutionalised fraud in the history of mankind, unfortunately it is also ravaging the Church bought with Christ's blood. It is my belief that the Lord is raising an army to stop this fraud being perpetuated in his name. Be on the lord's side and join those fighting fraud's of all sorts done in the name of God.

Op, you are wrong. Though what tithe mean to me could be different from yours. Tithe is the tenth of your produce and not your income. So it involve food, shelter and clothing. This should be directed to the people around you.....not pastors or church leader.

Deuteronomy 14:22-29
King James Version (KJV)
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:
26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.



Isaiah 58:6-10
King James Version (KJV)
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

God says He Himself will rebuke the devourer, whatever the devourer is, which the CHRISTIAN may not know. But TITHE is paid ONLY by CHRISTIANS, who KNOW that they are COVENANTED to The Most High God. And the tithes are used according to the INSTRUCTIONS of The Most High. 'Tithes' used any other way is NOT TITHE.

Tithe according to pastors have become the only way to get anything from God.
Holiness/Righteousness doesn't even count cos we're now living under grace. But tithe tithe tithe tithe or else you're a robber n no heaven for you.

Making the all merciful God look like he now functions like either you "roger bribe him or nothing for you". God forbid!.

For example,take a look at this post from a church member


kufre2010: I have been following this man for sometime now. He always place emphasis on tithing in most of his preaching as if u will die if u don't do it or u will be punish for not tithing so tithing now is not voluntary as it is recorded in the bible? In one of his parish one time ago in Eket Akwa Ibom State the pastor then make it compulsory that members give 20% instead of the usual %10.In-fact my father is a Sunday school teacher in another parish he was complaining why the church should contemplate member suspending a member because he did not pay tithe out of the money of a contract that he won. I just think this thing is getting out of hand.

Pastor Kun:

Tithing remains the biggest institutionalised fraud in the history of mankind, unfortunately it is also ravaging the Church bought with Christ's blood.

TITHE can be used to perpetrate 419. And no one can stop FRAUD, especially in the CHURCH, unless the person has never STUDIED, not just read, Revelation 2 & 3, and see what The Owner of the CHURCH is seeing, and still didn't COMMAND HIS FAITHFUL SERVANTS to leave the place. But if ANYONE looks a little beneath the surface, the devastation that rogue church leaders bring upon themselves, is more to be pitied. In Nigeria, children brought up by means of FRAUDULENT abuse of CHURCH money, generally turn out as bad as children raised by corrupt policemen, or politicians.
But the Kingdom of God continues to grow and expand.

Can you recognise 419? I've seen illiterate village women disagree with their pastor on some Scriptures. But when educated people refuse to STUDY THEIR BIBLE, they must, like a CARELESS driver, bear the consequence of their CHOSEN negligence.

Pastor Kun, am happy 2 say ur teachings about tithing as helped me to know the truth about tithing. Tithing is really a scam forced on Christians by false doctrines. I now understand that it is better I give willing from my heart and not because of a promise of blessing or curse if I decide not 2. Even Jesus said 'give and expect nothing in return'. I will encourage others 2 give from their heart any % that appeals to them and not 10% due to force or fear. I will also give according 2 ow I feel the less privileged need/christian mission needs. Thank you pastor kun for enlightening us on nairaland and I hope other Christians see the truth.

u are right. If 200,000 naira is my tithe for instance 50,000 naira goes to the church, 100,000 naira will go to orphanage homes, while the remaining 50,000 naira will go to the students in my church who hv needs. Nothing is too small. I can even add to it if i like. Must it be 10%? Why cant it be 9% or 11%?

There is an Anglican Church in Nigeria that practise to use Tithe and Offerings according to the Commands of The Owner of the Church.
