God didn't send his only begotten son to come and die for our tithes and offerings. If tithing was more important, Christ would have preached about it than He did our salvation.

John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world". (Our salvation is key) not tithes nor offerings as is been emphasized by the church of today.

Don't mind them. Many of them even fear and follow this MOGs word more than they follow Jesus Teaching sef

It's unbeweavable!

I thought men like Oyedepo has a good working knowledge of the Scriptures but I'm disappointed when I read post like this, or hear them vigorously preach about payment of tithe.

Tithe-paying was a commandment under the Old Testament Law meant to be obeyed/kept by the 11 eleven tribes of the children of Israel in the Promised Land. This tithe was paid to the Levite as God commanded since the tribe of Levi (Levites) were not apportioned land in Canaan. (Read Numbers 18:20-24; Joshua 13:14-33; Hebrews 7:5).

The law of tithe-paying is not binding on Christians (in any age) to keep since Christians are not under the Old Covenant but under the Law of Christ.

Christians today are not OBLIGATED to pay tithe to anybody or any denominational body.

Christians are to voluntarily give their means without being coerced or under compulsion, but give willingly and cheerfully as they purpose and decide in their hearts. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. Compare 2 Corinthians 8:12).

Funny enough, the tithe being paid today by Christians in these churches (though not a command to them) is not even done as it was COMMANDED by God to the children of Israel. These passages tells us the practice in tithe-paying done under the Old Covenant: Deuteronomy 12:5-7, 10-15, 17-19; 14:22-29.

ComeToJesus:
I pay my tithes. I am witnessing the uncommon blessings that come with it. No one puts a gun to my head to do it. I do it because its a covenant practice. Giving is love oriented and not gain oriented.

Every message has its intended recipients. It's not for the consumption of all. Its for those desirous of KINGDOM blessing.

It's not mandatory. If you aren't comfortable with ut, then it's your headache. All these bellyaching won't help anyone.

Tithing is a kingdom principle that Satan has blinded many to, using vessels like Freeze. Every vessel has its use. Freeze is carrying out his job description. You may follow Freeze and drink red wine + isi ewu with your tithe. It's no one business. It shouldn't be your business when I pay my tithes.


You are free to pay yours to a wine bar or to a red light zone. Its your funeral. It's your resources.

There are conditions you MUST meet before you can be qualified to collect tithe.

Note: These are not my conditions, they are Yahuah's (God of Israel) STRICT conditions.

1) You must be a descendant of Jacob’s son Levi. That's to say, your lineage must be pointing to Levi who is the son of Jacob. You must have the blood of Levi flowing through your veins.

2) You must not have inheritance.

3) You must not work, all your work must be in the temple.

Numbers 18: 21-24
21 “I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting. 22 From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die. 23 It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites. 24 Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord. That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’”
.
.
If you must pay tithe even though you're not an Israelite under the law, you have to go look for any descendant of Jacob’s son Levi and pay otherwise, you're not giving it to the right person as God commanded.

If you must do what Abraham did, be ready to return 90% to where you got it from. Yeah! Return the 90% of your salary to your employer. Abraham returned his own, so shall you.

Genesis 14:21-23
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’

.
.
Never forget the book of 2 Corinthians 9:7 is the Christian standard of giving.

2 Corinthians 9:7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

.
You are free to give 10%, 50% even 100% to the kingdom but, NEVER you call it tithe or first fruit because Christians have no business with the mosaic laws.

If you decide to pay tithe or first fruit, you automatically exempt yourself from the finished work of Christ. The moment you pay tithe or first fruit, you removed yourself from grace and moved to the law which is now weak and useless (Hebrews 7:18-19), and a shadow of things to come (Colossians 2:17), the things are the coming, death and resurrection of Christ.

I still remain the son of the TRUTH.

ComeToJesus:


You don't need no formular. Jesus is the formular. The blessings of Abraham through Tithing is transferred to the gentiles(non Jews) through Jesus.

Galatians 3:14 - That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

I had wanted to quote that passage but I thank God you have stated it here. I am happy that people are now reading their Bible and applying the instructions contained therein to practically improve their lives without waiting for one thieving charlatan to tell them "the way to god"

Who do this man paying his tithe to?

Kentuforchrist:
i dont care wat they use my tithe for as long it working for me i dont have any problem

See them... Na people like you dey sponsor BH...

All in the name of you don't care what they use it for..

Why don't you care that your money is use to make some peoples lives better?

Why not give it to the widows in your community that have nothing to eat and take care of the responsibilities they have?

why not give it to a motherless home to help train some children to because better to the society?

why not give it to the beggars around your area to make them have something to eat?

Don't say u don't care what they use your tithe for. Show the care and love with your giving.

Askme2020:

You only remember the life you have now... But u can also access the lives you have lived before. U don't live once.. U keep coming and coming until you know the truth and the truth set you free.

Dont let them deceive you o bros.
There is nothing over there.
The truth is that. man love life so much that he wish to continue existence beyond death but alas there is nothing over ther. Na korofo (nothing)
What u experience as a dream,out of the body experience, near death experience are created by the brain. Once person die the heart stop pumping blood, the brain stop functioning and man became life less.

Gentiles do not qualify to tithe under the old Covenant, period!

Moses's own son did not make the list of those who were required to pay or recieve tithe and He was born to a Levite father

SegFault:
When I look at the Japanese then I look at Nigerians I wonder, what is the effect of this so called religion? Is it morals? The Japanese are a million times more disciplined than us. Is it common sense? They beat us hands down. Innovations? We can't even compare with their dust. So what is the gain of this religion. Rather the fat pastors swell on tithes of poor workers who are still being exploited by the higher class. Is religion a tool for upliftment or enslavement? This is what Karl Marx warned about. Don't worry people like me prefer to sit on the sidelines and laugh at the idiots who love this system suffer.

Honestly I do sit and ponder about all this too... I now realised they use this so religion as a form of mind control

Lie from the pit of hell who do you pay tithing to Go directly or man

I remmber one lady thy used bible to do 419.

I'm almost beginning to think that one of the greatest mistake mark Zuckerberg has ever made ..could be creating Facebook....
Cos its almost becoming an abattoir where christian brothers slaughter themselves just for following and the battle for suppremacy in doctrines and theology...

I think we need to be reminded that social media Following and spiritual influence are not the same...

While social media remains a tool of communication....and everyone is entitled to their opinions, I have seen the highest display of immaturity on social media.

People quote you out of context, engage on war of words, all because we can all express ourselves at the click of our phones....

For me, My principles for dealing with funny people are very simple....

If I see a post that blesses me,
my response - Love, comment, or share...

If I see a post that I don't agree with,
My response - Ignore..

When I see comments that are terrible, contradictory, insulting and provocative on my post,
My response? Ignore, delete or Bless those that throw stones....

(Smiles)

Don't let anyone test your faith and patience by making you act outside our KINGDOM CULTURE...

We Love the God, We love the brethren,
We don't insult people who think differently from us,
We love, forgive, and we do not allow anyone rub us off that Peace of mind.

God's tithing law came to descendants of Jacob
.. Abraham was not a Jew.

Why are you people bent on labeling God a liar so you can pretend to score brownie points on behalf of your so-called MOG?

Not only bullying but creating fear and forcing you to give what you don't want to give. And the Bible said you should give willing

Stupid man

Not everyone know who Gentiles were. "Non-Jews" is a better word.

Were proselytes qualified to pay tithe?

Scammers everywhere!

Oga ooo

Every offerings or any kind of payment must not be forced!!
I don't agree with this!! Curse is not even relevant here!!

The covenant was an everlasting covenant with the descendants of Israel irrespective of their religion.

God called Israel to obey Him, not create a religion of any kind which is what Israel eventually did, create religion atop of what He commanded of them.

what a desperate talk. I think Nigerians are becoming wiser now!

Apostle Paul says that "He that does not work let him not eat". He did no say that he that does not sow, let him not eat. These pastors are killing religion

These people are worst than the devil...... enslaving poor Nigerians by manipulating them...

So after paying their hard earned money to you, you are building expensive estates, expensive schools, private Jets etc ......all in the name of the church meanwhile over 80% of the members that sacrifice themselves for those structures can't not pertake of them.....

Commonsense99:

This is emotional blackmail., It doesn't work that way people are waking up.
Western Europe did not develope with this mentality, China who borrows money to the whole world does not go to church, the richest Arabs don't pay tithe, they are even moslems, Dangote does not pay tithe, the world's richest men do not pay tithe, most are even atheist, all these people are not under financial curse.

Reality is you are under financial curse if you don't have any occupation or Productive

God will bless you my brother. I used to tell people that God can only be worshipping in your mind
