I Concur With Pastor Femi Aribisila On Tithing by Phreshkid20(m): 6:47am On Nov 12, 2017 |
Controversial pastor, Femi Aribisala
has taken to Twitter to share his
thoughts on the tithing debate
currently rocking religious circles in
the country.
See his tweets below...
Are tithers blessed? Jesus pronounced
woe on them: “WOE TO YOU, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! FOR YOU
PAY TITHE of mint..” (Mt. 23:23).
According to Jesus, the Pharisee who
gave tithes of all his possession was
not justified. (Lk 18:10-14). So much
for the blessing of tithing.
No Nigerian prophet, so-called pastor
or highfalutin General Overseer is
qualified to receive tithes from
members of his or her congregation.
Tithe or no tithe, believers are blessed:
“with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians
1:3).
God says: “I will curse whoever curses
you.” (Gen 12:3). So if your G.O. curses
you for not tithing, the curse will only
fall on his head.
The only people authorised to receive
tithes were the Levites. (Hebrews 7:5).
Nigerian pastors are not Jews, how
much more Levites.
Even Jesus could not have received the
tithe because he was from the tribe of
Judah and not Levi. How then can
Nigerians pastors qualify?
Today, Jewish rabbis who are still
under Mosaic Code no longer receive
tithes because Levi is a lost tribe of
Israel. No Levites: no tithes.
God did not accept money as tithe. The
tithe was tied to the land, which was
God’s gift to Israel.
Contrary to the law, pastors today only
accept money as tithe, showing they
are nothing but money-grubbers
determined to fleece the flock.
Ask your pastor if you can give your
tithe to the orphanage, or bring it as
food items to be eaten in church. See if
he will agree with you.
Since only agricultural and animal
resources were included, a fisherman
gave no tithe of his fisheries. Neither
did a miner, carpenter or anyone from
the various professional occupations
pay tithes. So unless you are a farmer
or keeper of livestock, you are not
supposed to tithe.
Tithing belongs to the Law of Moses.
But Christians are not under the law
but under grace. (Romans 6:14). The
law was not given to Nigerians, it was
given to Jews. (Psalms 147:19-20;
Malachi 4:4). Therefore, the Law on
tithes is inapplicable to Nigerians.
Tithing was primarily applicable to
Jews in Israel. When Jewish
populations grew in Babylon, Ammon,
Moab and Syria, these lands also
became tithe-able lands. However,
tithes were unacceptable from strictly
Gentile lands. So it makes no sense to
tithe in Nigeria.
Levites were not given any land. God
says: “Instead, I give to the Levites as
their inheritance the tithes that the
Israelites present as an offering to the
Lord.” (Num 18:24). But today’s pastors
own lands. They do not live as Levites
and should stop pretending to be
Levites.
God says: “Bring all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be FOOD in
my house.” (Malachi 3:10). He does not
say “that there may be MONEY in my
house.”
You cannot cherry-pick what to obey
in the law by singling out tithing: “The
person who keeps all of the laws
except one is as guilty as a person who
has broken all of God's laws.” (James
2:10).
If Nigerian pastors insist on tithing,
they must also insist on all other
stringent requirements of the law;
including the stoning to death of
adulterers, disobedient children,
homosexuals and Sabbath violators.
They should also restore blood-
sacrifices for good measure. |
