At the just concluded Shiloh 2017, General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo shared his views on tithing which has been a trending topic for weeks on end.
He was speaking about increasing your faith level as a believer and towards the end, he spoke about tithing which is the way God can open the windows of heaven in a man’s life.

If you don't go to heaven don't blame JESUS. We are all travellers on this earth, the life you leave is your passport through the journey. GOD is watching everyone cos if the bible says we should pay tithe and you are saying no, its your own problem. Lets us not be too knowing than the bible. SHALOM
In Malachi 1:6-12 and 2:1-9 dishonestd ministers are cursed for stealing from God. Malachi is Old Covenant for Israel only. Post-Calvary New Covenant giving is sacrificial, freewill and generous -- not of commandmnet or necessity. Old Covenantd priests did not tithe and all believers are New Covenantd priests. Tithe-teachers will not defend their false doctrine in open dialog with me or others.
I PITY PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT PASTORS AND TITHING, THAT THEY USE IT TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. IF YOU TAKE OUT THE QUACK PROPHETS AND PASTORS WHO ARE MISBEHAVING, THE REST THEY PAY MORE TITHE THAN THE WHOLE CONGREGATION. AND MOST OF THESE PASTORS DON,T TAKE MONEY FROM THE CHURCH, THEIR MONEY THEY GET IS BOOKS BEEN SOLD OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY AND THEIR PREACHING APPOINTMENTS. IN ABROAD THEY TREAT YOUR PREACHING LIKE YOU HAVE MADE A MUSIC AND THEY PAY ROYALTIES. IF YOU DONT WANT TOT PAY TITHE SHUT YOUR MOUTH, FOR SOME OF US WE KNOW WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR US. NO PASTOR TOLD ME TO PAY I READ IT IN THE BIBLE. ABRAHAM PAID BEFORE THE LAW CAME INTO EXISTENCE. AND JESUS SAID I DID NOT COME TOT CANCEL THE LAW BUT TO FULFILL IT, SO BEEN UNDER GRACE MEANS INSTEAD OF YOU KILLING ANIMALS TO WASH YOUR SINS HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL SO YOU WILL NOT BE SACRIFICING EVERY YEAR. LOOK AT THE UT BOSS, THE DAY HE SAID THOSE WHO PAID TITHES ARE ***barred word***, I TOLD MY WIFE THIS GUY WILL LOOSE HIS BUSINESS OR LIFE AND YOU SEE HE LOST HIS BUSINESS. DON'T PLAY WITH GOD. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AND DON'T DO IT. I DO A LOT OF THINGS IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM AND HEIRS OF CHRIST AND IT WAS COUNTED ABRAHAM AS A MAN OF FAITH, BEFORE THE LAW ABRAHAM DEMONSTRATED FAITH AND IN THIS DISPENSATION OUR CURRENCY TO MAKE GOD BLESS US IS OUT FAITH. A WORD TO THE WISE.
The spiritual mirth that all believe one person who is your brother or sister from your father God should be rich at the expense of the Christian population, and people think its cool. What he said is not true. Tithes are for Levites of Israel compensation giving to Moses tribe by God. Jesus never received tithes, neither did any of his disciples, let any so called man of God opens the bible and show the whole world where Jesus and disciples received tithes. lazy man job, simple say I am a pastor.
You Own a private jet and still demanding money from the poor congregation. Anyway i will rather give to the needy than to give to rich (pastors)
So, over a week preaching the man did, Only this Peace FM can tell the world
I believe God stated clearly the things we should do to inherit the kingdom of God and I don't remember tithing as one of them. It is better to provide for a hungry person, a stranger or a poor man and taking care of the sick than paying tithe to people who have so much and yet will collect from the needy in the name of going to heaven. lets not be deceived by these greedy pastors.
I do not accept this compulsion tithe payment. We are under grace and the blessings of God are with no conditions. Most of these pastors have enriched themselves with the widows mite paid as tithe in the church. I find it very difficult to understand why and we want to make legalism of tithing. I think it is with ulterior motive and not of God. I have paid tithes and I have not seen any meaningful improvement in my life. I dont think if you decide to sleep and pay tithe God will bless you. These pastors who are making legalism of tithing, please ask them these questions for me. (1) Why do they allow their women to wear trousers and clear breach of Deut 22:5? (2) Why is it that their women dont cover theri head in the presence of God? (3) Why don they use the tithe to feed the widows, ophans and the strangers and the poor? (4) When was the last time they made assessment on of the impact of tithes on their members? Hehehehehehehe, why should some one struggling in life should be made to pay tithe as a precondition to solving his or her poverty state? God is a wise God. When the Jews were in traveling through the wilderness he never demanded of them any tithe. God only spoke of tithe when they have settled on the promise land and have inherited a lot of blessings and which they did not work for and God have every right to demand of them tithe. I am scandalized when I hear some pastors making legalism of tithe paying - i think all such teachings can not be without ulterior motive. I teach and encourage those that the Lord has blessed to show appreciation by paying tithes but not as precondition for God's blessings. If I pay and not blessings come my way if the pastor prepared to refund my tithes to me? If you are not working and you decide to use your chop money as tithes it is unto you. Know that these pastors do not care about you but their stomach. Serve the Lord with an opened mind and do not allow yourselves to be a perpetual creditor of GOD.
I am a Methodist church member in UK here we don't pay tithe but God continues to bless the church and myself us well. Back in Ghana Methodist church member do pay tithe. My question is if tithing is the only medium to receive God's blessing then UK white churches wouldn't progress. Please let us spread the word of God which is Salvation and stop this argument.
Regarding tithing please do not argue against it, for as long as Malachi book has not been rewritten let none trade away God’s command in our generation of people full of argument without fear of God. It is understandable many preachers and priests use the bible for their personal gains. This notwithstanding has engendered the current debate and argument about tithing. But please do not trade Heaven away and say if you lose it let it be. You have to strive to go to heaven even with one eye gorged out please. Don’t say “THAT BE IT TO HEAVEN”. For the day you will realise you have missed it your regret can never be reversed. Rather err on the right side of the bible by being obedient towards tithing. You don’t go to heaven alone by means of tithing though. Let them who exploit God’s word for their personal gains continue in their trade: for the day of reckoning is already nigh! But as for you love God; give both to the poor and response to God’s word with fear and reverence. It is a fact that life is now hard to live and so doing the right thing for God is a challenge but please do it: for your labour will never be in vain. Also make sure you belong to the right church and let the judgement be for God. The truth shall never fade away! It shall prevail eventually. Once a ***barred word*** looked at the Jesus picture in a piece of news paper (at Ahenema Kokoben), he picked to clean up himself, and immediately he shouted “Krakye wo nie, Krakye merentumi mfa wo ne!” (I cannot use you as toilet tissue) Learn a lesson (reverence fear of God) from the respect this insane person had for God, and do just what the bible requires of you. And wait!! Lovely brother
