Good Morning my fellow Nairalanders.

I believe my calling on earth is to assist anyone around me, in every little way I can. I do support beggars, support my friends, support my family members.

My question today is this "what if I use my Tithes and Offerings to help those in need"

Will God be angry with me? Will the cursed for not paying titles follow me?

Advise please, forgive me for the poor write up.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............................................dont know sha

well from my own understanding...God said give me my ten percent he didnt say give to the poor.....paying ur tithe and helping the poor are 2 different things entirely

Where did God say give me my 10% and to who?

ogunleye557:
Malachi ch3 Vs9_12

I know that chapter like my middle name.



Thing is, Is it applicable to modern day Christians?


I don't think God needs to invest the 10% of my earnings and then give me the proceeds, rather He supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

My part is to bless those around me with what I have.

OP, I think this will help.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

I don't see anything bad in so doing. Whether you pay to the church or to the poor, you're are giving to God either way. "...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Giving to the poor and needy is giving to God.

pay your tithe and offering... you are cursed with a curse...

if u want to help the poor help the poor
if u want to give d church give d church
but don't let anybody put it as an obligation of tithe upon you... if you're helping the poor you're honouring God.. God never needed your money so he won't be angry with you

Edwinmason:

ok God said he wants ur 10%... to do what exactly... you're being robbed in broad day light

My dear, God requires your 10% to be given in the church. From all circumstances in Bible, the tenth of blessings was given to the priests only/in the temple of God. Don't let anybody ever deceive u concerning this. A genuine man of God can never use your money for personal gratification but for sponsorship of the church's vision.

If u feel your pastor will eat your tithe, it means u don't trust him. Then why u still there? Go out and find a holy church.

I go to The Lord's Chosen Ministry.

''Bring you aaaalllll the tithe and offering so that there will be meat in my house'' Malachi 3

You must give your tithe and offering to God. Giving to the poor is not offering. It's called Charity or alms-giving.

If a church is so rich and you perceive that its not channelling the wealth to save souls and spread gospel of salvation, what you can do is look for a good righteous church you perceive God's presence and offer there.

But it makes you an enemy of God. God is serious about it. It's mostly greedy people that give excuses like "my pastor is eating my tithe".

MrPRevailer:

It's actually greedy pastors that preach tithhing. There is absolutely no scripture in the bible that directs Christians to tithe of their income. Tithes as it is preached today is derived from twisting old testament scriptures to suit the greed of those preaching it.

Mal 3:8-98 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what wayhave we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.9 You are cursed with a curse, for you haverobbed Me, even this wholenation. Bring all the tithes and offerings into my storehouse that there may be meat In my house and prove me now"

Is this applicable today?1 Cor. 97 "... or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?13 Do ye not know that they which ministerabout holy things live of thethings of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should liveof the gospel. [KJV

Bring all the tithes and offerings into my storehouse that there may be meat In my house and prove me now"

This verse was not talking about money but tithes of agric produce and it wasn't addressed to Christians under grace but to the children of Israel who were under the law. Also note that it is a very grievous sin to twist God's word so changing agric tithes to monetary tithes is a sin by those preaching it. The lie that they didn't tithe money because money was not in use in those days is another lie because there were several references to the use of money as far back as the book of genesis. You may wish to read deut 14:22-29 to learn more about biblical tithing and compare it to the fraud taught in churches today as tithes.

there is a big difference.. u will never quote the part where paul said he didn't collect so as not to be a burden

ok lets move on

there's a difference betweeen eating of the things of d altar and scanning people to bring to the altar

pastors can call for donations every sunday
.. the tithe preached today is unscriptural therefore using it to deceive the masses and collect money is still a scam.. the offering is there ... other voluntary donations are there... preaching a lie as a means to eat from the altar is a scam

most pastors have the calling of money and they said they heard d calling of God..
whether by rich or by poor tithe preached today is unscriptural.

open your eyes

Tithe is scriptural. You keep your arguments alive by calling pastor as thieves. Not all pastors are. Many are false. Some are genuine and honest, using the money they realise for the promotion of the gospel. And I've made my points to help you. But if you insist, well.

Tithes is scriptural but it's not applicable to Christians and the type of tithes(monetary tithe from income) preached in churches today is certainly not scriptural.

the new testament scripture u posted talks about people working in the church eating from things of the church... i have no problem with the offerings.. my problem is the tithe they are preaching as lies... tithe was for d Israelites and it was only in Canaan... so show me proof that i am an Israelite and we are in Canaan and the pastors are levites and money was tithed... then I'll believe

What you're doing is perfectly biblical. However, business-savvy pastors will never support such a practice for obvious reasons. Keep doing it!

Good morning for this kind time? It's either the op is high on pure water or the mods that delay moving the thread to fp since morning is high on kunu.

Tithe is tithe and giving alms is giving alms
