In Matthew 23:23, Jesus talks to the Pharisees, condemning them for tithing to the penny but neglecting the more important issues of justice, mercy and faith. He then goes on to tell them that they should in fact tithe, but that they shouldn't neglect the more important things. Jesus recognized the importance of keeping the tithe and we should, too. When I think of Christians asking themselves whether "tithing" is commanded in the Bible, is an Old Testament or New Testament teaching, I wonder how many of these Christians "send back" the many scriptural blessings God has given His people in the Old Testament. How many people when they are blessed and given hope through the mention of God's works, words etc. through the Old Testament Scriptures say ‘I don't receive this or that blessing or confirmation because it's in the Old Testament'?" 2 Likes |

Why Tithe? by Creflo Dollar Why do we do what we do? As Christians, we live according to the Kingdom of God, and in His Kingdom, tithing is a way of life. The issue of tithing is controversial because many people simply do not see the significance of honoring God with their finances. In addition, the enemy has tried everything he can to convince people that “all preachers want is your money.” This is a lie from the pit of hell! While there may be some bad apples in the bunch, this should not deter us from obeying God with our finances. Tithing is a Kingdom issue. It is how we honor God and activate His blessing on our lives. It is done out of love for Him. When we honor God with the tithe, we become connected to an empowerment to prosper in every area of our lives. I have done many personal studies on the tithing question, and each time, I get more understanding about the subject and why it is so important to God. First, to tithe something means to give a tenth of it. As it relates to our finances, tithing is giving ten percent of all our financial income to God. It is giving a tenth of whatever money comes into our hands before taxes and other deductions are made. Contrary to what some Christians may believe, we do not give our tithes; we pay them to God because they already belong to Him. Once we pay our tithes, our offerings qualify as giving. Tithing in the Old Testament can be traced back to Abraham and the High Priest, Melchizedek. Genesis 14:17 says: And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Abraham brought ten percent of the spoils he gained from the battle to the king of Salem. Because the hand and the presence of God were on Melchizedek, Abraham wanted to honor God with the tithe. As a result, there was an exchange that took place—Melchizedek received the tithe and released an empowerment to prosper on Abraham’s life by blessing him. When we tithe, not only are we giving money to help advance the agenda of God’s Kingdom on the Earth, but we are also demonstrating our love for Him. It is not about a preacher forcing us to tithe, but it should be about having the attitude that says, “God has blessed me with finances, and I get to tithe as an expression of my love and gratefulness for what He has done in my life.” Tithing it is not about the money as much as it is about the blessing. And when we tithe, we become connected to everything God promises in His covenant. |

vowiski:@vowiski GOD CAN CALL ANYONE IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE HE IS NOW. I DIDN'T MENTION ANY INSTANCE ABOUT WHO GOD CALLS OR NOT IN MY POST ABOVE! |

THE ANSWER TO THIS IS RELATIVE AND BASED ON PERSPECTIVE OF THE PARTIES CONCERNED. IF YOU ARE THE FOUNDER AND YOU ARE SURE OF YOUR CALLING, HE THAT HIRED YOU WILL PAY YOUR WAGES. GOD PAYS BETTER THAN ANY EMPLOYER. IF YOU ARE A FOUNDER AND YOU EMPLOY OR HAVE PASTORS SERVING UNDER YOU, IT IS YOUR DUTY TO ENSURE THEY ARE PAID AND SATISFIED. DON'T MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE PEASANTS! THEY DESERVE THEIR WAGES AND SHOULD BE REMUNERATED. |

tpapi: If dos playing d instruments are actually of the church den I think is crazy to pay dem It's not crazy to pay them if that's their means of livelihood. You won't muzzle the ox that tread the corn.. |

It depends on the structure within the church. If for any reason(s), there are not good instrumentalists among the choristers, the church can go to the extent of hiring professional instrumentalists and based on agreed , they are paid for their services. In that light, the church is putting food on the table for such people. On the contrary, there are professional instrumentalists that will offer their services for free in such occasions. So depending on the scenario, the church will do as occasion serves right!! |

eyejae: Just got my new port. The process was very easy, except it involved me travelling twice to London. @eyejae So you have to pay for new port? What happened to extending the validity period on the port since it has not exceeded the 10 years lifespan?? |

the.game: @the.game she's not wrong with the use of 'actor'..The word actor refers to a person who acts regardless of gender, and this term "is increasingly preferred", although actress, referring specifically to a female person who acts, "remains in general use". |

This is not about BH. The board-room is in disarray. Do you expect the team to come to Naija with RVP? There are issues to be sorted out more important than staging a match missing key players.

GT Bank needs to remove the banner from their front page. There are other ways to display a disclaimer. Very irritating when you attempt to open the website for transactions.
