I went to a church close to my house,a pentecostal church,last two weeks nd yestrdy, to my greatest suprise,for the two weeks I attended d church,all that was preached was about tithe.to the extent that d preacher said that donating to the mother less babies home is nt important,that it is an NGO,for close to 45 mins or 1hour d preaching was going on,she never mentioned salvation of which is d main reason for coming closer to God,she went as far as calculating d amount that should be paid.(ie if u make one million,100k should be for tithe)the gross profit not the net. She. Even said other churches don't have God's presence in them,jst few.like their own.that even if u re in abroad or anywhere,u hould always pay ur tithe in ur original church,send it down.dat people who don't pay tithe,their business fails but when u do,it flourishes.thats why u see a pastor living lavishly nd members in penury.sorry to say,religion is the worst thing to happen to Africa. Where people worship their pastors more than God.infact churches have deviated from their main call,which is salvation and then turn it into a business centre.NOTE,this is common in most pentecostal churches.i had to storm out of the church even before the preaching ends.no bashing to penticostals,plz whhatz ur take on this.

I used to be a Christian, but these churches made me left Christianity and I am happy to find a new faith, which made me a better person. Christianity in Nigeria has lost thier objective a long time ago.

Ouch! "You left Christianity". Is that what you just said? Please come back, Jesus still loves you. Despite the things going in churches today, I think there are still better ways to go around this instead of leaving God completely.

Think about it bro....

Ademat7:

what if we fix a date to deliberate about this issue,bro I hv same thought but my present parish is proving me wrong...if u close ur eye because bad person is passing good pple will pass and u won't know.
give Jesus a 2nd chance bro

DrDeji20:


I didn't left Jesus, I left the wrong pattern of religion. but, I am up for deliberations on this.

Do not give up your faith /conviction for a mere mortal that shall pass a way before you finish reading this epistle. @kizyalex10, @DrDeji20 and others sharing same sentiments all I would suggest is that we endeavor to am ourselves with the right/correct information. I remember the Bible says the truth will set you free.
Most of us have been brain washed for so many years with verses quoted of context especially malachi 3:10. But a little study brings out Deutronomy 14: 22-29 and Deutronomy 12: 11-28.
Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe unfailingly but not to him/her. Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe as God stipulated in Deutronomy 14:22-29
I suggest you pick a copy of this book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVZ8W13 ). It really answers lots of questions on Tithe.

am a catholic,these money nd tithing is nt clamoured there as it is in most pentecostal churches.i once gave a cheque in my cousin's church as I was invited,till today,the pastor monitors me more than evil spirit nd any function,he calls me too.infact I went to redeem d other day too,they use pos also.i serve God but nt going to any other church nd anytime I feel like,catholic all d way

veneza:
my take on this is simple, the Bible gives us the set down rule for us to obtain our salvation, we are in the end time, please in this whole Nigeria if out 100 churches then may be just 2 churches doing the will of God,know this the rest is condemned. matt.7:20-22 said not all that say lord lord or those uses the name of God to heal or prophecies shall enter into heaven, BUT THOSE THAT DO THE WILL OF GOD IN HEAVEN.

DrDeji20:


true, but Catholic chuches always thinks themselves as the only right place to serve God. their discrimination is outstanding. I am making references for Nigerian Catholics.

DrDeji20:


sure..bro, but my mind is made up

Ifebaby16:


Okay..... I hope you know what you're doing
