Nairalander Personal Experience About Tithe by Nobody: 12:34pm On Nov 02, 2014 |
This is not a fiction. It is what really happened to me personally. This is my personal testimony about tithe. You know what? What a man doesn't believe in cannot work for him. I have been a tithe giver for sometimes now. Though I stop paying tithe at a point, but praise God I have gone back to paying it because it worked for me. Some months ago, I was seriously ill for days, such that I could not get out of bed. I was taken to both private and public teaching hospital, all to no avail. the doctor at the teaching hospital could not diagnose my illness, while seriously ill and looking like I was dying. Note that I consulted different doctors. All the drugs prescribed were not helping at all. My illness condition was getting worse. My people would only come back from work and check me on my sick bed, day after day doing the best they could. One of the doctor at the teaching hospital personally made me to understand that my ailment was spiritual and not what medicine can do. You will agree with me that some doctors can see beyond the physical. He asked me, "what church do you attend?" "Redeemed I answered". He continue to tell me that there is a name. It is the name of God. The name is called "heuw". And that if I could pronounce that name "heuw" my sickness would go. I was like, "this man wants to initiate me o". I refused. Again seeing that I refused to yield, he asked me again. Because he new that I was a yoruba man and it was in PH . "Do you know Ijebu people?" "Try visit them, they will help you with some spiritual help". I refused to answer him. After that I was driven back home. One day while I was agonizing on my sick bed, with serious, deep and fast breathing as if somebody was standing on my chest pumping it (I new some spirits were at work). And because the sickness was too much for me to bear, I started crying and praying at the same time. Now hear the way I prayed. "Lord, you said that you will not test me with any plague of egypt. You said you will rebuke devourer for my sake if I pay my tithe. For these years I have been paying my tithe and i can pat my chest and be bold to tell You that I do not owe you any unpaid tithe. I know that i am not perfect, but as regards tithing, i am perfect because I pay tithe of every money that comes into my hand". I was shedding tears profusely. All of a sudden (after around fifteen minutes of weeping and praying) a powerful strength came from no where and entered my body. And immediately and instantaneously I felt wellness in my body. This was me that could not stand up a minute ago. I stood up immediately. It was like a miracle(indeed it was). I jumped up severally to be really sure of what was happening to me. I lied down and I did press-up exercise severally. My joy witnessed no bound that evening. I marched straight to the sitting room. I saw my neighbours watching football match. I paraded myself before them shouting "I am healed praise God" " I am healed halleluyah" and jumping up and down and doing press-up as a proof of my healing. Low and behold they all looked at me with awe, not knowing what to say because they were surprised. That was how the sickness that confined me to bed for complete six days, unable to do anything disappear without using drugs. If you pay your tithe in obedience to the word of god, it is for your own good. A day will come that the tithe will speak for you, sooner of later. Something may not happen immediately now. But because you are ordinary human being, you cannot see into the future. If you were able to see into the future, you would love to pay more than tithe. That is my own experience about what tithe can do. You may disapprove it if you like. The bible says whoever knows to do good, let him continue and whoever knows to do bad let him continue because a day will com when I will put a distinction between the two of them. That will be when your good will be supposed to speak for you. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

It is not your continuous paying of tithe that healed you, you were healed in Christ 2000 years ago, you just didn't know your rights and inheritance in Christ. So, your mind was trained to believe it your tithe paying that healed you. There are millions of people who still pay tithe and die sick. New International Version For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. That word "salvation" in the Greek means, complete wholeness in Christ. Stop believing you did something for God to heal you, God healed you not because of your works but because you're in Christ. 3 Likes |

Goshen360: It's called a testimony. You're so steeped in criticising that you don't see the irony of your perspective. So, you're healed because you're in Christ but there are millions in Christ who die sick? Are you aware that many pray and die sick? Does that translate to prayer does not work? |

Goshen360: You cant be serious bro. Why is it that he got healed when he challenged God with his tithe records in prayer? God could have ignored his prayer if his prayer was wrong. James 4;3 says- ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss. Obviously he didnt ask amiss. If he did, his prayers wouldnt have been answered. God moves in various ways in dealing with us. Our walk with God is more of a personal experience thing. There is nothing you are interpreting here that will mean much to him than this personal experience he had with God.

Psalm 138:2 (NKJV) "I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for you have magnified Your word above all Your name." @op, in your trial you refused to give up on God by sticking to Jesus as your personal lord and saviour by refusing the eckist suggestion. Your also discovered a secret about God and His word. And the secret is that God honour His words above His name. What you did, is speaking the words of God back to Him concerning your situation and God was move to honour His words. 2 Likes |

Goshen360: one thing I want youto understand is that we have failed to take God by his word. It is not by work. it is by the amount of God's word you are able to tap into. You may serve God and still feel like God is far away from your because you fail to understand the potency of His word if you believe. I lift up my word more than my name says God. |

Goshen360: Jesus did not tell us that we wont see tribulation in the world. In fact if you dont face one challenge or the other, you are not a christian. But He went further to say that we should be of good cheer because He has overcome the world. He promise us victory. Even Jesus himself was not immuned from tribulation. He faced it and overcame. By His stripe you are healed. |

Seriously i don't understand why this tithe is causing much wahala within us. You believe in tithe or not does not mean other should dance to your tune. Yes we are commanded to pay tithe in the old testament which is also the word of God. One tenth of your harvest at the end of the year but we are not in old days again but a era different from then. We are to bring one tenth of it to the house of God so that there will be food in the house of God for the needy. Today your harvest is your income earned and if you like you can pay it at the end of the year or monthly even weekly, that is a personal thing between you and God. And if you decided to carry a bag of rice to church as your tithe no problem and i know God will accept it too. The tithe is to help the need in the church and also towards the spreading of the gospel. In other word the tithe is a financial support system for the house of God to carry out God work. And if you still disagree with me, please let take a look at what Jesus said to the pharisees and the scribe in Mathew 15 vs 1- 9 1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Read in between the line of what transpired from verse 2 to 6 The word of God in the old testament says honour thy parent and also spelt out a punishment for the offender of this commandment but in the time of Jesus the pharisees and the scribe were encouraging the disobedience of this commandment through tradition. Now let see what Jesus said in verse 5 quoting the amplified bible But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. What am trying to bring out here is that just as honour thy father and mother is an old commandment so also is the commanded to pay tithe. Time has change and our income earned is our harvest. Must we say because God caused Adam that he shall till and toil the ground before he can eat, we should leave office work and other job to go and till the ground before we can eat and bring our harvest to the house of God. Yes Jesus die and pay the price for our freedom from the law but that doesn't mean we have been given the licence to contravene the law. In one of His miraculous work Jesus said go and sin no more. Here is Jesus who have been given the power to forgive and set loose captives from the bondage of sin, saying go and sin no more. I understand why some people are against this tithe, the activities of some so called men and women of God make them to stand against it but they need not worry and leave all to God. But if after reading all this and you are still unconvinced to pay tithe no problem but i need a favour from you. Call the holyspirt to come and visit you and reveal to you the word and position of God on the issue of tithe. The holy spirit is there to comfort us and revealed things to us. After doing that please come and share with us what the holy spirit revealed to you. 3 Likes |

And the sad thing about this scam is that the victims could have actually got a reasonable amount of cover against the various evils they pay tithe for, and a lump sum payment to their loved ones should death befall them if that wasted ten percent of income is paid to an actual insurance company. 1 Like |
