Imustreturn: So, in a situation where for a fault of mine I couldn't prepare early enough to be at church on time and I had only 1k note and couldn't get change because I was rushing to meet up before the church service would start and my last card was that 1k which I would survive on throughout that Sunday before I go out Monday morning for the daily hustle as a labourer, ar u of the opinion that I should forget about giving offering that very Sunday or give out the entire 1k as offering or abandon the church service while it is going on to go outside and start looking for change? |

RadicallyBlunt: My take: It isn't a bad thing to do but it is awkward. Like you rightly opined, look for the change before you get to church rather than collecting change here and there. Just as you can't collect change from a gift given to your boss, so it won't be sensible to do that to God. |

bixton: So, in ur humble opinion, it's better not to give offering at all if u don't have the particular denomination u wish to give than for u to give a larger amount and then start asking for change from the usher? |

LEGEND7466: So, u sincerely mean that asking an usher for change for ur offering is mocking God? |

I came here to laugh I know of people who collect change without dropping offering What about that? |
Re: Is It Ideal To Collect Change When Dropping Offering In Church? by nwamehn: 11:59am On Jul 01, 2018 |
Imustreturn: Same way it's also ur choice to either ask for change or not and it's not something someone should say it's shameful that u ar doing it since Bible didn't condemn it. U actually believe it's no shame going to church without offering because it's ur choice and it's no sin, yet u opined that asking an usher for change which is another person's choice and no sin too is shameful? Since heavenly race is OYO, I don't see any reason why it's a shame to either ask for change as u said, or not even give offering at all sef. |

AndreSalvatore:I would venture to say that it is Ok for an Atheist to take change from an offering basket or even more than he put in. |

RexTramadol1:You must have been observing atheists doing that. It won't surprise me. |

RadicallyBlunt: Either way bro, the money will still get to the hands of someone else. Saying someone fasted and prayed on a money doesn't mean it can't end up in the hands of others. What matters most is the act and mind behind it money will always be exchanged. |

Could still remember when I was in OAU, went to a particular church ignorant on offerings without change thingy, offered #1k hoping to collect #800 as my change. At the end of the service, I went to the usher and told her that I want to collect my change, she looked at me and told me that I can't since I've given that's all. Omo, you've got to see the way I displayed my talent that day. The pastor had to intervene. Gave me my change asap before escalating the whole brouhaha. The pastor further asked if I had faith in God that once I've given to God, I should be expecting in folds, I categorically told him that a bird at hand is worth more than billions in the amazon also, that's my only means of survival for that week... since then before I dropped the whole religious hogwash, you won't see me give a dime to whatever church. |

Neofingerz:One can't play God, what stops the person to make change on Saturday for Sunday offering. Some will not even even put an offering because they don't have change but they know that they should have done that the previous day. When God is blessing you does he give you blessings and expect change from you?. |

Re: Is It Ideal To Collect Change When Dropping Offering In Church? by Nobody: 2:02pm On Jul 01, 2018 |
Vicyace: You are right. Am an experienced Usher, in our own case if you didn't tell me or any other ushers that u want to collect so so change before you dropped it, consider such money gone. Becos after collection u are expected to balance up ur account but if u informed us ur change will be dropped. Most cases, we asked you to write you name and and d amount you want to collect, so if we see dat during counting we drop ur change for u. Went it come to money Not all born again Christian are really born again. 2 Likes |

What did you buy that you are collecting change?? |
Re: Is It Ideal To Collect Change When Dropping Offering In Church? by Nobody: 2:18pm On Jul 01, 2018 |
Neofingerz:Well you ought to plan your Sunday before coming to church. Asking for change causes disruption in church service most times hence it is advisable to change your money at home before coming |

Is a matter of your conscience, as the Bible says in Roman's 15:22-23 " Has thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he allows" Verse 23: "And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats(or does what he does) not of faith: for what so ever is not of faith is sin" So if you feel in your conscience "yes it's right to collect my change", collect it but as for my conscience I do feel it's not right to do so, because it seems like to me am trying to make the Lords house as a market, or business environment where I make transactions... And I do feel it's wrong to me |

brainhgeek:You need to discover yourself if you truly are and put your faith on weighing scale. It is wrong for whatever reason to collect change for giving offering. For pete's sake, it is not by force to give offering in the first place if you dont have. God searches the heart and rein of man. He cant be deceived. If you dont have change, look for change before you go for service. You have six days of the week to do that. All other talk is an excuse. Let us have respect for our Maker. There is no how they would tell disobedient children that collecting change for offering is wrong that they would hear. Not here to argue with anyone. Afterall, salvation is personal. |

BluntBoy: Haa! In this present dispensation? No wonder immorality is triumphing, and the fear of the Lord Jesus Christ is diminishing. Holiness and righteousness is now a shadow of itself. Disobedience and covetousness is now the oder of the day. My dear brother, do not be deceived. Why not repent and worship the LORD with your substance and see what he will do for you? Just follow me to (Ecclesiastes. 12 down) God bless you as you obey. |

What it means is that people dont even remember church talkless of offering until its that Sunday. Its saddening how faith are getting cold these days and important things trivialized. If our minds are tuned towards it, we ought to have prepared before Sunday comes. Six good days is in-between. May God help our generation. |

the Bible does not condemn it but its not proper.
it is like sowing two seeds and removing one to chew raw.

It's ideal if you don't wanna trek home after. Done it a couple times already, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. |

The Op's understanding of d Bible isn't so deep. It shows u fear human verdict than God's principles. What I do is if I'm convinced adequately, I'll drop d whole money, N5h/1k not waiting for change. Some other times, if I have no small denominations, I won't drop a dime for offering DT day, even if I av over 10k in my pocket. My judgement is in God's hand. So I fear no human verdict. Nobody put gun on u DT u must drop offering. 1 Like |
