Still On Tithing – I Disagree With Daddy Oyedepo! by scriptaz18(m): 7:25am On Nov 26, 2017 |
Daddy Oyedepo recently opined, and I quote in part, “...It’s tithing that secures your blessing.” No, sir! It is the heart to give that secures our blessings. God doesn’t look at the size of your gift BUT your reaction while giving it! The story of the Pharisees and the poor widow (and her mite) comes to mind. While they were doing a ‘roadshow’ with their giving, the widow’s intent to part with her ‘last card’ was sincere just like the widow of Zeraphath and Elijah. Like the Pharisees, you can give all your earnings as a tithe BUT if the content of your heart says otherwise, I wonder how that can “secure your blessings”. That you tithe isn’t a determinant that God must bless you. Tithing is one of the crosses we must carry as believers. It is our own sacrifice for the Gospel! I’m of the strong opinion that Tithing is the responsibility of every believer – there should be no incentive attached to it to make it seemingly appealing to the Church. Whether there’s a benefit derivable from it or not, it is our duty to pay TITHE. We pay tithe more for the physical needs of the church than our ‘own’ blessings! It's high time Pastors taught the church the difference between offering and tithes and other forms of giving – see, God expanded the kingdom of Solomon because of his ‘massive offering,’ not tithe! There are many people in the Bible whom God touched their lives because of their offerings, and not tithing. Hence, I still hinge the fact that tithing is our duty, not our investment to God or the church. Methinks God doesn’t look at our offering, seed sowing or tithing BUT the willingness of our heart to part with them before He blesses us. Thank you. Kingsley Ugo Okenwa 25/11/17 3 Likes

How on God's Earth does tithe secure a man's destiny? What scripture is the Bishop relying on? We should be grateful that the Scripture is closed. Otherwise, many of our G.Os would have published their own Bibles. For instance, we'd see inclusions like; 'The Gospel of Tithing According to Oyedepo'. 'The Epistle of Adefarasin on Tithing'. 'The Revelation of Ashimolowo on Tithing'. When the scripture cannot substantiate your argument, you'd have to write your own scripture. "The overpampered G.Os are scrambling, cooking up fantabulous rebuttals and are faltering seriously in the sad process! They are looking more and sounding worse than a bunch of militarized Leprechauns defending their pot of gold from some sustained outside attack, than the true keepers of the Word Of Life. Never knew asking critical religious question could ever be this agonising..." #truthisscared 11 Likes 2 Shares |

This is the way I see tithing.are you using your tithe as a means of worshipping God or you're bribing God to bless you. If he didn't attach blessing to the reward of tithing,WOULD YOU STILL TITHE? Are you tithing because you want God to bless you or its another way of worshipping God with your finances If you had no problem in your life and finances,if Nigeria was an utopian country,will you still worship God? Would you still tithe if you were not sick or needed anything from.God? The bttomline at the end of the day is MOTIVES for tithing 3 Likes 2 Shares |

mrwonlasewonie: scriptaz18:The only tithes to God are: 1) the Levitical tithe aka Mosaic Law tithe, which God permitted to be given only to NOWS (i.e. NOWS being an acronymn for No-inheritance Levites, Orphans, Widows and Strangers) and 2) the Abraham type of tithe, given to a priest cum king (i.e. Melchizedek) - see #3 below about this one Other tithes in a secular world context (i.e. give a tenth, 1/10, 10% and possibly 0.1) are: 1) the Mesopotamia/Babylonian tithe, given at pagan temples to priest(s) (note: extra biblical references will be provided upon request, similar with #3 below) 2) the type given upon the king's demand's (note: bible references will be provided upon request) 3) the type given to local ruler cum priest worthy of the consideration, after taking up arms, go to fight and winning battle fight(s) or war "For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town - Matthew 23:34 Another tithe, not previously stated, is the ecclesiastical tithe Any expert in the biblical law, or anyone for that matter, familiar with the biblical law, can attest that this particular tithe was thought of, at a much later time, as it originally wasn't & never intended to be practised at all. Ecclesiastical tithe, is where a christian gathering, taxes its members 10%, tenth, 1/10 or possibly 0.1 too, of their financial income. Some christian gatherings, even have a tithe ledger, and members fall out of the christian gatherings' favour, if their names are found wanting in the tithe ledger book. If anyone, so wishes to tithe, as in give a tenth, 1/10, 10% or possibly 0.1 of your financial income, there is nothing wrong in that but you'll be going down the wrong path, the moment you permit this practice to be imposed upon you as a religious duty Ecclesiastical tithe is performing something imposed and so consequently is a religious duty Do you know what the gospel means and is? Gospel means good news and it typifies FREEDOM, from any type or form of obligatory or imposed tithing. Observe that, Matthew Chapter 23, which is the only place in the bible, where & when Jesus ever mentioned tithing, has 7 woe curses in it No one needs to be reminded of what the symbolic representation, meaning and/or significance of the number 7 in the bible is. Suffice to say, you'll be placing the woe curse upon yourself, if you willingly accept ecclesiastical tithes from the needy and poor. Also, the woe curse betide, anyone, guilty by association, in cahoots, with those accepting ecclesiastical tithes from the needy and poor. 3 Likes 1 Share |

MuttleyLaff: I think the word "old testament" and "New testament" is doing some a disservice. The bible is a progressive revelation of one person: Jesus christ. This is because he is the solution to the fall of man. All the bible details is how man fell, What is God's solution to restore man's rightful position....simple but detailed ![]() 1. God's solution was Jesus.... 2. He needed to appoint a race that would set the ball rolling and from which the messiah would come. AT A POINT FALLEN ANGELS HAD SEX WITH HUMANS...Remember...programming(the life) is in the blood. Satan also knew this. 3. Abraham was chosen...he delivered. 4.Isaac , Jacob, 12 sons all delivered. 5. Moses said a Prophet like unto me will the lord raise among you...All that means is a law giver. Someone that is capable of telling you what to do, not another way to do things but what you need to do. (I am THE way) 6. The prophets all setting the stage for the solution to humanity's fall: Jesus 7. Jesus came and made the fundamental laws adjusted clearly stated....example is the eye for an eye law. The other is the stone to death for adultery..... 8. Jesus christ sat at the treasury in the temple and was looking at how people put in money....Jesus christ said the widow(husband, dead) has put in all she had...He didn't exempt the widow from giving because she was poor, he commended her because she gave even though she was poor. 9. Jesus condemned the acts of the pharisees that were not in tandem with truth...when it comes to what should be practised, Jesus never condemned tithing in the new testament...the bible didn't specify if she was paying tithe but from what was the Jewish practise over 400 years before that time, the treasury was where tithes were stored...(Nehemiah 13:12) 10. Yes the above passage mentiones grains ![]() 11. At the old testament times, work was highly agrarian...remember naboths vineyard, Solomon said honor the lord with thy substance and with the first fruit of all thine increase...Our times, money is our substance , chemical engineering or accountancy our vineyard. The fruit is our salary. 12. Tithes belong to God(Jesus in this case). Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek( a man having no father or mother), We are kings and priests unto our God ....that's right but the bible talks of a priest-hood like no other that can ever exist. Jesus christ is the only one equated to that priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek" 13. For us gentiles, the bible still links us as children of Abraham through faith...He even said the gospel(exact word used) was preached to Abraham(Gal 3: ![]() 14. It is obvious tithe was a revelation made to Abraham before even the law was in force.....because giving a tenth to God (Melchizedek) was first recorded as an Abrahamic practise 15. Jesus is the new testament Melchizedek. We give our tithe to Jesus ![]() ![]() ![]() If that is the case why can't we just give to any "brethren" since he/she is also the body of christ? 16. The principle adopted by the apostles was to have a cimmon purse and the church leadership would be responsible for the administration of the resources Paul also did same. He even ensured he never severed links with the church in Jerusalem(1st cor. 16:2&3) 17. So the tithes and offerings are made to Jesus through the church for the propagation of the gospel. The tithes are not for the pastor's upkeep, he is not a levite...Jesus was not a levite. Jesus' priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek. 18. We all possess that priesthood based on Jesus. Paul had a profession. Priscilla and Aquilla had jobs they did so as not to be a burden to any man. The tithe is particularly meant for the spreading of the gospel. This was how the gospel came to Africa. That was how schools (missionary schools) were financed. Through tithe an offering. 19. One of the reasons why persecution started in the church in Jerusalem was that they were complacent. Jesus told them Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and uttermost parts. They only heard Jerusalem ![]() 20. The bible says there are differences in administration but the same lord.....The mandate given to one pastor as to how he administers the tithe will differ based on geography and times...e.g. Barthlomew's administrative capacity will defer from Barnabas'.The bottom line is do not eat the tithe. ![]() |

Sagacity07: Bishop Oyedepo reveals what will happen to those who don’t pay tithe NEWS Published on November 24, 2017 By Seun Opejobi RELATED TOPICS: Bishop David Oyedepo, founder, Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Thursday explained why it is important for Christians to pay tithe. Oyedepo said tithing opens the windows of heaven and ensures divine blessings for Christians, stressing that those who don’t tithe are permanently beggars. He said this while addressing members of Dunamis International Gospel Center in Abuja and monitored by DAILY POST. According to Oyedepo, “If you don’t pay tithe you are permanently a beggar. “I’m permanently under an open heaven. Every seed you give to God returns but only tithe secures your destiny.Its tithing that secures your blessing. “Through the mystery of tithing you don’t run out of divine ideas. Tithing opens the windows of heaven and pours you quick understandings.” |

This prosperity gospel has wreaked havoc in Christianity. The tithe argument in Nigeria is championed by 2 broad categories. Those who argue that Pastors are unjustly enriching themselves and mismanaging money and those who argue that financial blessings aren't tied to tithing. Both schools of thought are focused on personal gain, which is not the true gospel. This is why the conversation devolves quickly to insults and personal attacks. For the record, I also disagree with Bishop on this topic but we need to move on. 1 Like |

Tithing was nailed to the stake with Jesus. The law of Christ does not leave a room for tithing. The Bible says, "practise giving" not tithing. Tithing is not for Christians just as the Sabbath has been obliterated or fulfilled. Tithing is different from giving and that should be clear to all Christians . MuttleyLaff: |
