Do You Pay Tithe Or Your Debt First. by Textra(m): 3:09pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
My question is strictly for christians who believes in paying of tithes. Do you finish up your debt first or you pay your tithes and keep looking for another way to pay the debts. What's the guidelines for payment of tithes when one is servicing a loan. |
Re: Do You Pay Tithe Or Your Debt First. by Ammishaddai: 3:20pm On Oct 31, 2021 |
It depends. If there's extra money left after settling the debt I'll pay tithe also. If not , I'll still pay off the debt and keep the tithe as an outstanding payment for later . On the condition of adding 1/5th of the original amount 2 Likes |

Personal opinion: If you want to pay tithe, please go ahead and pay it. If you don’t want to tithe, that’s okay too. However logically speaking, if you are the tithe paying type, you know the debts would still be there whether you tithe or not. Seeing you are still capable of earning funds, I would think you could pay your tithe. So this is within your powers to pay or defer and pay later. 2 Likes |

Textra: U can’t tithe what you don’t have.... Don’t let any pastor guilt trip you....some will even say u must pay tithe of your whole entitlement before they remove pension and tax.... God doesn’t need our money...all he loves is a cheerful giver....you can only tithe your worth If you have loans or debts of 50k per month and your salary is 200k...u are not worth 200k....you are worth 150k....tithe 15k...and do it cheerfully . Once your are not happy doing it...don’t pay..it’s a waste of money....spend all your money...God no vex becos you no bring money come church..like I said, God no need your money.. ..the only thing you might miss is the blessing that comes with sacrificial giving which is what tithing is...it doesn’t mean God willvex and make you suffer for not giving him money.... trust me, he’s not that petty.. 1 Like |

How do you come about the dept? Christians should live whinen their financial status. The bible says a borrower is a servant to the lender. Now since I have discovered the power in tithing , I don't joke with it. If you re owning God and man at the same time then settle with God first and he will help you to settle your deptors. God bless you. If you want to know more about tithing, God have showed me the secret of tithing. Shalom 1 Like |

Tithe is 10% of your increase (profit). So if you are a biz man, you are not yet making profit until you've cleared your debts. Therefore No profits, No tithes. |

Ayo081: I stopped paying tithes when I don't have income... But when I later have income I run into some debt. So, imma think should I pay up the debts and start afresh at the end of the day, will I pay for all the past months... Or else put myself in unnecessary bondages.. owing tithes. |

Textra: Well, I'm not the best person to talk about tithes. I know tithes is necessary. But there're weightier matters {Mathew 23:23}. If I'm in your state, I'll clear my debt {Mathew 5:25-26}. God sees you and he's more interested in you being righteous. Well I believe God desires mercy and not sacrifice. He's a merciful God Start afresh after your debt. The kingdom of God is more important that's why Christ was going about town to town talking about His kingdom and not about tithes. Criticisms are highly welcomed. |

As a Christian who studies the bible very well, I pay tithe to myself. There are no Levites in Nigeria, any Nigerian that claims to be a descendants of Levi is a scammer. Am I serious that one can eat his tithe? Deuteronomy 14:23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock So I am not worried about tithe payment when I am in debt, because I should eat my tithe. I can't penalize myself. FACT: Do you know that from Genesis to Revelation, tithe was not paid in the form of currency? 1 Like |

Textra: Alright. I used to be one of the people that do not believe stronly on tithing. Until God open my eyes about the power of tithing. If you constantly pay your tithe , you have indirectly make God a shareholder in your business. Who is a share holder? A shareholder is a person who owns a shares in a company and therefore gets part of the company's profits and the right to vote on how the company is controlled. Gen: 19 In the sweat of your face shall thou eat bread until you return to the ground. That was when man begin to struggle to eat That curse of strugling to survived will be authamitically be lifetd when you begin to tithe and you will begin to live in abundance. If you re a born again and you dont tithe your incomes you may go to heaven but you re going to die poor and miserable. Even if you're a pastor. It is a secret I don't want to go far. And it has been working for me. Satan is a deciever don't allow anybody to decieve you not to believe this massage. Tithing is a secret to financial upliftment to those who knows it. I know why I said it is a secret. Listern if you don't tithe your income or profit then you will end up having a pockect with holes, nomather how much recieve it will still not be enough and you will still continue to complain , because that curse in Gen 3 19 will still be speaking against you. If you like drink one bucket of the blood of Jesus My dear this is a revelation from God. Did you see me quotes Malachi? If you want to break away from that curse then make God a share holder in your business and sky will be your limit. Our God is a good manager. If God benefits from your Litle things you're earring , it is another ways of saying thank you. That means you re faithful over Litle and he will bless you with much, mind you he owns everything and whatever you have. So tithing is another sign of apprecations. When you stop to appreciate you begin to depreciates. So settle with your father and he will settle with your deptors. God bless you. |

jmoore: Then they shall pay with their blood. Because the did not believe in the name of our aLord Jesus. You should also ask me why the ritualist have money? Any man who is not a Christian and is rich have already tied his soul to the devil. You are the one that think they don't tithe . They have a father and have given ther tithe to him which is their soul. You will not understand. It is deep. |
