Pls stop! Do not make it look like giving to the church or pastor is giving to God. The Almighty does not require any form of monetary appreciation for his grace and kindness to mankind... What he wants of us is simply to follow his ten commandments. Once you understand this, you'd know that helping someone up when they fall is far more required than donations to church or pastors whom you have 'no authority to question' its expeditions. Do not be deceived!
What you said is very true

If you have, give. If you don't have, God understands. There's no need to feel somehow and it shouldn't discourage you from going to church.
Go and give your dance and clap offering to God.

Shalom.
God understand what? Do they use naira money in heaven?

It has never been an easy feeling the times I had none to give Awkward and odd was the feeling ,to say the least. It should always be a thing of joy to be able to give cheerfully to the God who gave us all things. I love to always give to the Lord.

Giving ur heart is way better and rewarding than giving ur money. Don’t let religion tell u otherwise or make u feel worthless or stupid.

I noticed that many of Jesus parables are still occurring in our modern Christianity and times. It’s astonishing.

Bishop David Oyedepo once said, "if you have it in your mind to give, God will put it in your hands."

I used to feel bad whenever I didn't have to give during service or contribute my token to the Kingdom of God until I started doing this. Whenever I didn't have physical cash, I will simply pick a piece of paper and write the amount I had wished to give on it.

I tried not to forget redeeming it and blessed it when other hands lifted up were been blessed. The miracle is that before the next service, I always came into these funds.

My mistake was spending it while hoping more will come before Sunday. Most times, I ended up not giving it again. Now, I have learnt to give online and I also have the church's account number.

Once I get alert like this, I immediately pay up that vow/pledge before spending the rest.

I hope very soon I will be able to pay my offerings before church service, by leaving a standing Order in my bank account. Let the bank auto-debit me immediately there are funds. Even my Tithe too, there should be an auto-debit.

My point is that if you have it in your heart, God will put it in your hands to give.

King Solomon gave a thousand offerings and it moved God. I haven't done 10 offerings that have moved God and I am praying to God for 500 major offerings that will move him before I clock 35. I know it will happen.

I will be able to write my entire 2018 annual salary in a single cheque as an offering. It will happen very soon, evening if I still owe debts up and down, for what God cannot do does not exist. He is the master of impossibilties.

The worst is the way those stupid ushers will look at you. For me if it involves going to the front of the alter, I will just jejeli fold my arm like like like Tyson's punch dance to the alter and put my empty hand in the basket. I can't kill my self. If you don't go to the alter, the way some people in the church will look at you, he go be like say na you kill Jesus.
Some pastors would even arrange their pattern of giving in such a way that make people go to the altar one by one in a matching order row by row to where the offering box can be found, so if you stayed back because you had nothing to give, then everyone returning from the alter would have you to notice. Some would even ask their congregation to stretch forth their offering so that out of shame you would have to give something reasonable to them regardless whether it was meant for something else like your t-fare. And they would always have you to believe that you're receiving some anointing and miracles by doing that so you don't have to suspect.

I used to feel bad but later I realised I do not have and the church will be fine and God understands. Sometimes a lovely lady beside me gives me money to give.
I went to church over a year and did not give.
So you are practically broke for a whole year. This is deep shit shocked

Me I no kukuma dey go church again... After I discovered no love in d Christian community.. only show off and hypocrites.. a family who is financially down won't get help from dia fellow Christian's.. bt if d pastor shouts abt seed sowing every one will b competing whose seed is bigger.. not knowing sowing in d lives of dos who are extremely needy around us is d ultimate sarcrifice

Exactly.
And after opening the legs so wide, you see them leading in worship songs with their faces so mild while nodding their heads so hard

If the basic reason of more churches in the country is about tithe, why no stay put for your house if you don't have money for the tithe. Such person won't be included in those that the pastor would pray for

Re: How Do You Feel When You Don't Have Offering To Give In Church? by TheGift: 11:19am On Aug 15, 2021
I don’t feel anything. I confidently take the offering bag and pass it to the next person.

If is a church where you have to dance out- which I think started as a gimmick to force people to give- I stay on my sit or if I have to dance out,I go and drop their offering envelope back for them.

Sometimes I have to give but if I feel the pastor is a joker or manipulator - I Don’t give. I’d rather hand it out to the next needy person I meet outside.

I don’t think about what people may be thinking about me, some may not even be thinking about me -and some of those who do may actually be admiring but I don’t know for a fact, so I don’t care to think about it .

I don’t need to know. After all, when it comes to giving even Jesus said do not let your right hand know what your left is doing?

Bro. No Diss, but this your write-up is a classic explanation as to why Nigeria is the world poverty capital despite Nigerians been some of the most hard working set of people on earth, why there are six Nigerian pastors in the top ten richest pastors of the world, why churches are littered across all streets and more than schools and businesses/industries.
