Why I Stopped Paying Tithe - Johnspeak Uwangue by Nobody: 11:58pm On Mar 03, 2018 |
WHY I STOPPED PAYING TITHE . I know some people will come for my head after posting this but i dont care. This is not to compound the already heated issue on tithing but to bear my mind on it. . Back then in the university after i became serious with church, i was exposed to the preaching on tithing as the source of financial prosperity and security. So, i started paying my tithe from my little monthly allowance of N3,000. It got to a point that i felt the need to increase it from 10% to 20% after listening to some top preachers who claimed to pay more percentage of their financial earnings. But despite paying 20% as my tithe i was still as poor as a church rat. Infact, my school days has the most horrible experiences of my life, i was so broke that even garri was like gold to me. I noticed that my finances wasn't increasing despite paying my tithe. . But there was something else, i am very passionate about helping the poor and whenever i gave to those in need financially despite my little resources, i always witnessed a surge in my fianances. People just remembered me and favoured me financially. So, instead of paying tithe i started seeking for more opportunities to give to those in need. . I will say that i didnt stopped paying tithe because daddy freeze said so but but because i couldnt continue applying a principle that wasnt working for me. I am a realistic person so i engage in things that there is profit. There are people who have been blessed from tithing but i have noticed that i get blessed when i assist the poor. So my advice to everyone reading this is that they should stop practising any principle because someone told them to but because its not working for them. . Thank you. Lalasticlala mynd44 Seun

Not paying your tithes doesn't depreciate your pastor however pastors will never be happy by the sound of the word "FREEZE" |

Whether you remain poor or not, Tithe is God's commandment. Those worldly people such as Freeze who have no spirit of God but use logic to dictate God's word and deceive people because he is popular. They will answer for it. Tithe, Holy living are prerequisites to prosperity. Nevertheless don't turn your back on God or call him a liar, if what u are expecting don't come. God said of the righteous 'and I will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There shall be no more death nor Sorrow for the former things are past away.' From this scripture you can see that many Christians that enter heaven get there with tears. As a result of the challenges in life, yet they never gave in. |

MrPRevailer: Are you saying without tithe,a christian can't be prosperous |
Re: Why I Stopped Paying Tithe - Johnspeak Uwangue by MrPRevailer(m): 4:04am On Mar 04, 2018 |
philpwresh: A Christian can be prosperous with or without tithe. But God will be charging that person as a thief and robber. And thieves and robbers shall not enter the kingdom of God. (1 cor 6:9) |

MrPRevailer: Christianity isn't about spirit, you need to use your sense too. How do you know if the spirit whispering to you is of God and not as a result of the doctrines you have taken into your mind. Please don't suspend your brain because of religion. |

MrPRevailer: Is that what God told you personally or what your Pastor told you? |

Giving to church or individuals is good, but tithing is not giving, it is fraudulent distortion |

Tithe was never a New Testament thing, none of the apostles preach tithe, but today's pastors feels they are greater than the apostles. They feel that they understand Christianity more than the very people that sat and learnt from Jesus himself. 1 Like |

JohnspeakU:Yeah, but the expenses is just too much, it is making us lose focus on using our money to show love to our fellow brethren and the rest of the world. Apart from daily running of the church, churches these days always have a lot of projects and the projects never ends. YOU will see them doing building project and all resources focused on the building but when the building is finally complete they will start another project. Maybe equipment projects, buy AC, buy customized chairs, buy church van etc. They always need money for one thing or the other, always demanding money, and all our financial resources are always focused on projects when the person sitting next to you have not eating in days. How are we showing the love, remember The bible says, God is love |

Today's churches are beautifully crafted piece of structures filled up with broken souls... |

I stop paying tithe long b4 daddy freeze starting broadcasting it out to d world. I just read my bible pages to pages and find out that tithing dead when Jesus end on the cross for our sin. Give to those in need not to any pastor. On the last day people will know whatup. When Jesus said help those in need for eg the less privileges in d society, the least of my brother and sister. |
