Truly God provides, hallelujah! I remember tithing 10% on $120, I babysat my nephews (I have no job), went to church then. I came home that night got a call from a lady she has a place for us to rent (we're looking) and also gave me a job as a caregiver. Fast forward I'm now a CNA and still tithing and trusting the Lord Jesus, our Jehovah Jireh.
Just respond to the needs of the poor ,widows and homeless .at the same time respond to the needs of the Gods ministry without reservations.just respond .Don’t do business with that or even with God.God remembers everything that we do with rightful attitude .attitude is altitude.
nswer is no. Tithing is a part of the law and Christ fulfilled the law. The point Most people miss is that every aspect of the law points to Christ and his work on the cross. Tithing is no different. How does tithing point to Christ you ask? Simple, Christ is our tithe and offering. If you read in Deuteronomy about tithing you’ll notice that it talks about “The Israelites“ were go to Jerusalem three times a year every year for the feast of the Lord. For two years, they were to take a 10th of their crop and bring it to Jerusalem to celebrate their harvest before the LORD. They were the LORD’s appointed times and individuals were to rejoice by spending their money on whatever their heart desires praising God while rejoicing in the abundance that they have received. The Bible says they were to spend it on meat and drink, even hard alcohol if your heart so desired. NOTE: But on the third year according to “the Law” they were to take a third of their tithe and give it away to the stranger to the orphan and to the window.........Christ ministry started when John the Baptist baptize Him in the Jordan River. Rabbis were always anointed at Age 30, just like Christ. Christ ministered to the “JEWS ONLY” all the way up to the point He was crucified on the cross and offered up. Note, He in fact died on the third year Of his ministry. Jesus is 1/3 of the Godhead (A picture seen in the 1/3 of the 1/10 tithe Every third year). 10 in the Bible represents law, and completion. I.e. Jesus fulfilled the law, and you are no longer under it. He died for sinners and was offered up in Jerusalem on the Passover feast to “orphans“ which represents sinners separated from their Heavenly Father, “widows” those without a husband that need a kinsman redeemer to redeem them, and “strangers”. Paul tells us in his epistles that we gentiles were once “strangers,” but now we have been reconciled to our Father in heaven. Jesus The messiah said he came for the lost children of Israel. In essence like the first two years of tithing, They kept him (Messiah) all to themselves And were to rejoice while He (The light of the world) was here. But again, for the third year tithe “THEE blessing” was Offered to everyone else! the stranger, the widow, and the orphan salvation came to the entire world! A cool additional note is that scripture says, if the travel was too far, because the abundance given was so great that you could sell or trade your tithe for silver to make the burden lighter so you can make the journey with the silver instead so you can rejoice before the Lord. Silver in the Bible always typologically points to redemption and blood, A price paid for a bride or slave, thus Christ’s blood. Those under the law were under a yoke. Jesus said, “come to me all that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest until your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.“. The picture: If you were to far away from the Lord because “The blessing” that you had received became burdensome......”just like the Jews under the law, which is a yoke.” The blessing of the law, which was too burdensome for anyone, was exchanged for Christ’s blood because it was a burden no man can bear but Him. When we Believe God at His word, we exchange the first covenant for the new one, “the old wine for the new.” Jesus took on that burden through his shed blood. All debts are paid in full and we are no longer under law. In the Psalms you’ll find a line where God says “the entire volume of the book is about me.” Jesus stated to the Pharisees, “in the Scriptures you seek for eternal life and they are with speak of me.” You see the entire book is about Jesus, Jesus is God. He said, “I did not come to remove the law or destroy it, but to fulfill it.” He said, “not one jot or one tittle will pass away until all is fulfilled.” Every detail of the law points to Christ, His finished work is expressed in every Yod and tittle.... See the picture now? BONUS!...Christ was sold for 30 pieces of silver by Judas. Remember what silver represents? Well if you read the Old Testament you’ll note that one of the 613 laws talks about a slave and their value. A man was worth 50 pieces of silver, a woman was 30 pieces of silver and the kid was 20. So why is this in there. Well the bridal price for a bride is also 30 pieces of silver. Christ tells us who the Son sets free is free indeed. He purchased us with the 30 pieces of silver and his blood. He bought us at a price a bridle price. He also said, “we were slaves to sin”. He purchased us and then set us free. Praise God! All glory to Jesus! The law is fulfilled you are not of the bond woman but of the free! Any preacher that teaches tithing Are those that Bible says are making merchandise of you. They are tares of wheat sown by the enemy. The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed that grows into the largest tree in the garden. So much so that the birds come rest and its branches. Birds are never a good thing in the Bible this was a warning. Birds will always be around the carcasses, they eat the fruit and the seed that’s trying to be sown. James 2:10 For who so ever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. “. Remember the wages of sin is death! you have fallen from grace and are still under a yoke if you think you need to tithe. Run from such an individual that teaches bad doctrine. They are making merchandise of you and keeping you in bondage. So should we give? The Bible says, God loves a cheerful giver. But it also says owe no man. Give in your abundance as it seems good to you. But if you owe debts the first thing you should do is pay those debts. You should NEVER give money to the church when you owe two months back rent or loaded credit cards! If you want to make a friendship offering or peace offering, You always have other things than money to give. You fact Christ died so you don’t owe or have to give anything is freedom, the fact that you get to, and you understand that, is wisdom and love. Personally, the most precious thing we have is time because you only have so much of it....it is finite. When you give your time in prayer, reading your Bible is worship, helping the church, loving others., these are acts of faith. The Bible says, a broken heart and a contrite spirit or acceptable sacrifices to the Lord. When we come before his cross and realize what he had to do because of our sin, our faith in the fact it is finished sanctifies us. By faith we are justified. Time is the most precious thing we were given after salvation. after the cross anything we do is a friendship offering, or peace offering. In type The old testament shows us these offerings always come after the atonement sacrifice. The Loaves of bread offered had Levin In them. Why, With Levin a picture of sin? Until we are glorified, we are still in our sinful bodies, so everything we touch is still tainted. But when we except our atonement sacrifice he no longer sees the levin in us. He only sees what Christ did for us and our faith in the fact all debts are paid. When we attempt to do good works, follow the law, etc. we exalt ourselves and glory in our flesh. And no flesh will be justifiedBefore God. In fact we make ourselves our own idol, we commit the original sin of trying to be like God as if we had power to save ourselves. We declare in our ignorance what Christ did is not enough. God forbid! It is by faith we are saved and not of works lest any man should boast. All glory to God amen!l
TITHING 2 As I looked at this New church generation, tears(blood) tickle down my chin(holy). Looking at this New generation preachers, I discovered they are given to knowledge (filthy) and not WISDOM(refined). Looking at the men of God in this new church generation, I discovered they are using knowledge (filthy) to explain my word(holy) rather than wisdom(refined). Yes, a man may want to go for knowledge (excessive) and at the end, he will see himself becoming an ATHEIST. Pastors are not excluded. Are you not supposed to be teaching your sheep(members) to appear before me in holiness (Deuteronomy 22:5, Jeremiah 4:30, 1 Corinthians 11:6) and not argue if tithing is right or not. Now, Mr Preacher I have somewhat against thee. Thou hast used your excessive knowledge (filthy) to CONFUSE humanity although to those my spirit (holy) are in them, they cannot be confused. Now talking about TITHE, it is a great MYSTERY but will be exposed for man to know and learn. A man went to work and came with a thousand naira and the Pastor told him to bring a tenth for his tithing. Looking at the pastor, I discovered he has not paid his own one- tenth. Foolish Pastor! How could you tell your sheep to bring one-tenth when you have not brought yours. Now Pastors are likened to TAX COLLECTOR(A book written by the author - search books by Anthony Ebubechukwu Orji on Amazon)). What is the meaning of that? What is the meaning of that? Yes, tax in a country is used to renovate, repair and provide essential services for the people likewise in my body(churches), these taxes(tithes) are used to RENOVATE the house(churches). Now, a tax-tithe collector (Pastor) was also told to bring his tithe(tax) but he secretly IGNORED seeing he is the one that collects the tithes and no one will know if he pays his or not. Foolish Pastor! Are you aware you are dealing with Spirit of Spirit(God) and not man. Looking at the Pastor, I discovered he has a stain on his pocket(spiritually). Writing the word(pocket-spiritually), a man given to knowledge (filthy) quickly asked if the garment of salvation which a man receives when he gives his life to God do have pockets. Foolish man! Why using your carnal knowledge for things of Spirit. Looking at the Pastor(thief), I discovered he was called a THEIF by God and a ROBBER by the devil. But why? But why? Yes, a man that God has blessed and refuses to bring a tenth unto God and not the Pastor, Bishop, Left and Right Reverend is a THIEF before God and a ROBBER before the devil. Yes, this is what it means. A man was looking for work and God in his infinite MERCY sent his angels (GOOD and MERCY) and immediately the man got the work. Now that man will be too foolish not to bring a tenth before God at the end of the month. What should the money be used for? Yes, as a tax in a country is used for essential services(road repairs, other important facilities etc), so is the tithe(tax) used by the worker(Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Evangelist) to do the work of God. What kind of work? Yes, a church that was build 15years ago needs to be repainted. A church that does not have instruments need complete sets of musical instruments, a church that was using wooden chairs before needs a modern plastic chairs, a church that does not have sound systems, need a modern and workable one. Ones in a year, churches need to do HARVEST, which is one of the reason of tithing. Sunday shlchool manuals which the members are using need to be published using that tithe, Christian magazine(Evangelism) also need to be produced for man(sinners) to read and get CONVERTED so that their will be MEAT(CONVERTS) in the store house(church and paradise ). Now, a church that pay their tithe and the PASTOR(THIEF) still put burden on them to CONTRIBUTE (evil of evil) in one way or the other inside my body(churches) is a very, very big thief. Burden(contribution) should not be placed on the members to CONTRIBUTE (evil of evil) inside the church. The tithe gotten from the members should be used for that purpose. Yes, a MAN(Apostle, Bishop, Pope, Right Reverend, Left Reverend, Church members , Deacon, Deaconness, Choir Master, ect that does not pay his TITHE is a REBEL to God and to man. Why? Why? Yes, God is Spirit and those that will worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth. How can a man eat all and expect the devil to SPARE him. Infact the devil will MAJESTICALLY walk up to God and seek PERMISSION ( most atimes it is granted) to CHASTISE such a man. Now talking about a man that God called to open JUST A SINGLE MINISTRY and due to greed, he decides to go into BUSINESS by opening churches here and there on earth. This is the wisdom for them: Church 1: gets her tithe and send a tenth of the total tithe to the head quarters. Now the head quarter will collect all these tithes from all her branches. It is called TITHE of TITHE. What the head quarter does with the tithe is this, if there is any of it's branches that are having very, very few members, it means that what they will accumulate will be less and hence they need to do HARVEST and as such the head quarters will send either a tenth to that church or a part for them to do HARVEST. Now if a man(Angel, Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Deacon, Pope etc) stands on the pulpit and tell HUMANITY not to pay TITHE, such a man(Bishop, Teacher, Apostle, Evangelist, Right and Left Reverend etc) SHOULD BE ACCURSED BY THE BRETHREN. IT IS FINISHED! IT IS FINISHED! Books by the writer is available on Amazon( Search - books by Anthony Orji)
TITHING 1 As I looked at this generation, I discovered that truly man is very, very much confused about the word (bible-holy). Yes, Government should repair the road, Government should build this, Government should build that! As I looked at a country, I discover they are judiciously paying their TAXES so that the government could repair or rather build one thing or the other. As I looked at a church, I discovered the man of God was busying saying there is no need for tithe. Oh no! Foolish man! Who taught you that? From theological school or from the church you grew up! As I looked at men under the surface of the sun, I discovered they are truly confused about my word(bibel-holy). Looking at a WIDOW, I discovered she has a son and the son is working and anytime the son gives her money, she takes a tenth into my storehouse so that their will be MEAT. Looking at the last word, I discovered all under the surface of the sun will want to interpret it as FOOD(filthy) in my house. Oh no! That is why humanity is truly confused about my word(holy). They use knowledge (filthy) to explain my word(bible) instead of WISDOM(refined). Now look, my word is highly spiritual although wriiten literally for man to understand. Never explained my word using knowledge (filthy) but through wisdom (refined) by the POWER of the HOLY GHOST. I know if I still ask humanity what is the difference between Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit man will truly get it very, very wrong because it is used interchangeable in my word(bible). Now talking about a woman(Widow) whose son gave money and she uses a tenth inorder to tithe in my house. What has she done? What has she done? Yes, she has truly given the devil a BLOW(Obedience) through her act(holy). Yes, her act of paying tithe is a blow to the kingdom of darkness. How? How? Yes, a woman (widow) who brings her tithe into the store house has done something. What is that? What is that? She has renovated the house of God spiritually although the pastor that receives the money MUST put it into use. How? How? As I looked at a church, I discovered it was dilapidated. Coming closer, I discovered the Pastor is a God fearing one and as such he quickly used the money(tithe) given or rather paid into the storehouse to RENOVATE the house of God. Looking at another pastor, I discovered the tithe(tax) brought was not used for the purpose to which it was brought but rather for business. Foolish man! Foolish man! You are using the tithe(tax) brought by the sheep(members) in doing business instead of sowing it into the STORE HOUSE. Looking at him, I discovered his name was IMMEDIATELY erased from my book(Spirit of Spirit) and his name appeared in another book-death(Spirit of Spirit) although my gifts was not removed from him seeing my gifts is without REPENTANCE. Looking at this new church generation, I discovered many shall truly not see me(Christ) because of FALSE DOCTRINE(NOT PAYING TITHE) taught by men of God using knowledge (filthy) to explain my word(bible-holy) instead of wisdom(refined) by the Power of the Holy Ghost. It is finished! It is finished! Books by the writer is available on Amazon( Search - books by Anthony Orji)
God takes care of his children. Please dont try to manipulate people with this testimony of “the power of the tithe” garbage. Jesus preaches about giving with they have in their heart (2 Corinthians 9:6-7) which is the opposite of the tithe, which is obligatory. God Bless
Robert, Jesus wants you to stop tithing. Sit down with Hebrews and gain an understanding of how Yeshua became the final Tithe for us all. We need to seriously stop robbing Jesus of what He has already accomplished for us. This will rock your world and everything you ever thought you knew about tithing. I challenge you to go against mans doctrines and follow what Jesus taught Bro...cool
