Pastor Oyedepo Says Not Tithing Invokes Financial Curse - Your View!

Pastor Oyedepo hammered on the importance of tithing and I have nothing against tithing but i just want to know if there is any Bible passage that backs up this curse (for those who will argue).........

What does he mean by Financial curse?If someone is already under a financial curse,how will they pay their tithes?

Is it right for a Pastor to concentrate on this aspect of winning souls for Christ?

What is your view on this please!!!

I think everyone should do what they believe and want. Heavenly race is an individual thing, tithing is also an individual thing. Loving God is an individual thing, how you see your God determines what you can do for your God.

"prosperity" not just wealth is impossible without tithing"

A lot of people are wealthy but not prosperous. A lot are in misery even with the wealth they have. Now prosperity is an all round blessing; peace, stable mental health, financial breakthrough, devourers rebuked for you, wisdom, divine health, riches, divine positioning, abundance, favour and so much more.

God is doing a lot for you aside financial blessings. Tithing ensures those blessings remain and overflow in your life. I believe in tithing and I do it cheerfully.

This tithing argument is becoming exhausting. Pastors should let people give from their hearts and not because of guilt. Besides, the average Nigerian is struggling to survive this period and doesn't need the extra guilt.

Some Pastors no get conscience, this pandemic rendered many people jobless, there is an increase in petroleum products with the consequent rise in goods and services, all this so called man of God could do is to pour financial curse on those that could not pay tithe. Jesus Christ did not tell anyone to pay tithe, why can't they emulate our Lord and saviour for Christ sakes

Tithe must not be paid in church. You can use your tithe to help the less privileged e.g. buy them food, clothes, set them up in a business if you can, pay for their hospital bills e.t.c. and as sure as the sun rises and sets each day, God will never forsake you or not bless you. This I know for a fact. What you may consider little goes a long way for many so use your tithe to better the lives of the needy.

I'd love to know. There have been times, when I couldn't pay my tithes, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't have. And then as soon as I get money, I pay it. Let's say I don't pay for 3-4 months, am I supposed to calculate, and pay what's owed, or just start from the 5th month? Bible Scholars, please help out.

I think truly, it is important to pay tithe but not a must you give cash to the pastors. You can as well buy something tangible in any church you go to or you give to the needy etc
There are so many ways to pay tithe, it depends on how you want it with faith

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with the preachers of this country. How can their preaching center on tithe & offerings as if they are the descendant of the tribe of Levi. I’m beginning to think that the God that Nigeria serve is different from other advanced countries that have less religious centers but better living system for their citizens. Smh!!

The millionaires and billionaires of this world are not Christians not Muslims, they never pay tithe and offerings to nobody, some of them only run charity organization to help the less privileges.
Nigerian pastors and their form of religions are just pure scams.

Thank God for covid 19, it has opened the eyes of some blinds and gullible that you don't need to be in the church buildings to be blessed by God.

I don't agree and I attend his church. All the billionaires of the world are not members of his church but indulge in philanthropy and definitely do not tithe. They are not even christian per se except maybe Warren Buffet...still not sure tho.

I was tithing, giving offerings and contributions...things changed yes but when I give to orphans, widows or the poor, blessings rained.

I decided to be giving only offerings to the church and my tithe to people who need it when the same church refused to help when I needed urgent financial assistance for medical help.

Meanwhile I contributed for others, we were even scammed at a point. But they refused and the reason was that my late sis wasn't a member so they can't help and that was the beginning of the end for me.

I just give offerings and my service and go. No more contributions or participations ...I just faced God directly and told God this is what I want to be doing from now on with my Tithe and he proved himself.

To each his/her own tho but this is mine.

I don't know the rightness or wrongness of this argument and I couldn't care less. All I know is that each time I tithe on any money that comes into my hands,I ALWAYS have double or most times,more than what I gave. If I lack,my best bet is to give something,my time to someone,my time in prayer,as little as gifting someone offering in church. Even the time given to encourage someone, God ALWAYS surprises me thereafter.

I have not seen the person that will come to convince me otherwise on something that has been working for me.

My mindset is also that when I tithe,the money I would have used for health issues,police case for my family members,armed robbery attack,all kinds of troubles,my gift and tithe will speak for me and most times when I do not tithe,it's not always pleasant.

SO TITHE WAS A TRUBUTE?
Yes it was! Under the Pentateuch (Mosaic Law), payment of tithes to the tribe of Levi by eleven other tribes was a law unto itself. Why is this so?
After the twelve tribes settled down for business in Canaan, the Levites were the only tribe totally excluded from land inheritance. Apparently, their priesthood position was vantage enough and automatically disqualified them. This was reinstated by a declaration made known by Joshua to all the children of Israel: “The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage.” (Joshua 18:7). RSV.
So by priesthood default, the Levites became tenants in their own country! After this dawned finally on their elders, they put heads together and devised a stratagem. And what they came up with was ingenious enough! So they approached Joshua and entreated him with their masterstroke:
“The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasture lands for our cattle.”
So by command of the LORD the people of Israel gave to the Levites cities and pasture lands out of their inheritance.” (Joshua 21:2-3).
The prayers of the Levites were granted. This reprieve has two implications. First, the strategic spread of the Levites to all the nooks and crannies of the county means that they can be easily reached when it comes to collection of the tithes. Second, it also means that whether a Levite was ordained as a priest or not, he or she was fully entitled by heritage to receive tithe. So from this, we can see it clearly that tithing was a moral obligation, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Judaism, talk less of Christianity!

The only flip side is that they never became original land owners. That condition has prevailed till today.
Nevertheless, the compensation given to the Levites was more than enough — 10% of labors of eleven other tribes? So whether we call it tithe, rent or tribute, the principle remain the same. But alas, that unholy rent collection system was what the early Christians tried to justify (See epistle to Romans chapter 1 – 10). Was their argument not grotesque then, even now? Surely, to transfer a civic duty to the level of religious obligation was height of hypocrisy.

If you want to tithe, do so because you believe in it, as a commandment from God which has not been overridden by subsequent scriptures. Don’t do it because you think it’s necessary for your salvation (our righteousness are but filthy rags in His presence) or because you think it’s necessary for wealth to come your way (world events haven’t proved that that is correct). In this world, you can make money and be legitimately wealthy without paying tithe to the church.
I believe one should ultimately do what one believes in. There are good reasons to pay your tithe - ignore Freeze’s comment about Pastors not being from the tribe of Levi🙄. If nothing at all, tithe contributes to the upkeep and maintenance of the church premises which you go to everyday to worship. It also helps towards the Church’s works towards the sick, needy, imprisoned, etc.
Giving ALWAYS comes with blessings, this works for everyone, Christian, Muslim, any other religion or atheist; it’s a law of life and this will also work for you should you choose to give your tithes in the Church.
The doctrine of tithing can NEVER be faulted, as it adheres to both spiritual and earthly principles but saying those who don’t tithe are under a financial curse/bondage is false unless financial curse has another meaning.
People who want to pay tithe shouldn’t be discouraged. The problem with tithing is ACCOUNTABILITY. You see church leaders in ostentatious living and can directly see the impact of your tithe in their personal lives, they aren’t even scrupulous enough to maintain a moderate lifestyle, they buy the best your tithe can afford and then give testimony of God’s Grace in their lives!
Biblically, tithe is for the Priests(as they didn’t have land allocated to their tribe), Widows, Orphans and the needy (that there may be food in the House of God). I would say if you cannot see evidence that your Church carries out programs like these with your tithes consider apportioning and giving to these groups yourself. Yes, this is not in the Bible, but that is what I will do.

My issues On tithes is not the paying of it, but who receives it.
In the Scriptures the Lord was clear that the tithes belongs to :
1. The widows
2. The orphans
3. The strangers
4. The Levites -in the New Testament dispensation; those who work on the gospel
without any other form of livelihood.

Here are the Scriptures:
Deut. 14:28At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the STRANGER, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come,
and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
See also Deut. 26:12-15, Matt. 23:23, 25: 31-46, Acts 6:1-6, 1 Tim. 5:2-9

Please read the New Testament citations and see where they practiced these and Jesus teachings in Matt. 23:23

I don't pay Tithes cos I don't know where my money goes to. If God was coming to take it and go back up, I would. I don't understand where they keep the money I give. In my opinion is that I need to see the money put to good use. Use it to pay for school fees of the less privilege in the Church, feed the poor, do charity works cos Gods not coming down to take the 10% I paid. I don't want anyone getting fat on my money, buying more houses when all they need is one good house and in opulence on my sweat. Christ did not live in flamboyance. So, no thanks I don't pay. Muslims and organs who are blessed don't put money in envelopes and the same God blesses them. If you are looking at your neighbour who has not eaten as you walk by with that envelop in hand to go dump in a bag that has no accountability. Know ye now that he'll awaits you cos you are a wicked person.

JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT RICHER THAN HIS DISCIPLES IN WEALTH AND MATERIAL THINGS. ✝️🔃
🔄

IF YOU MUST TITHE, TITHE ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH LAWS!!!

GIVING TO GOD SHOULD BE DONE BY FAITH that works by LOVE and not by COERCION!

THOSE WHO LOVE💖💞 GOD GIVE THEIR ALL and BEST without the threat or fear of any curse hanging over their heads like the 'Sword of Damocles. 😀

(Giving to - the saints/Christians, God's work, Servants of God)

NO Pastor tells you to tithe according to Deuteronomy 14 28-29 - "At the END OF EVERY THREE years, BRING al THE TITHES OF THAT YEARS PRODUCE and STORE IT IN YOUR TOWNS , so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the FOREIGNERS , the FATHERLESS and the WIDOWS *WHO LIVE IN YOUR TOWNS MAY COME and EAT and BE SATISFIED*,* and so that THE LORD YOUR GOD MAY BLESS YOU IN ALL *the work of your hands.*

NO PASTOR IS A LEVITE or PRIEST "to collect tithes from the other 11 Jewsish Tribes." WE ARE GENTILES SAVED BY GRACE.

2. Jesus Christ did not command his disciples to pay tithes.

3. The Apostles did not teach the early Christians to pay tithes rather to make weekly collections for believers in lack and in other locations. 1 Cor 16v1-3
4. All believers shared their wealth and goods in common, nobody lacked. Acts 2vs44-45, Acts 4v32

5. Mary Magdalena, Joanna wife of Chuza, Susanna and many others- These women were helping to support them out of their own means. Luke 8vs2-3

6.Joseph, nicknamed by the apostles Barnabas (“Son of Encouragement”) of the tribe of Levi, came from the island of Cyprus, sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles. Acts 4v36 FREEWILL OFFERING used to meet the early believers needs.

7. Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them. Gal 6v6

8. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be given to you according to the measure you use in your giving. " Luke 6v38

9. Give as you want to reap "Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Cor 9v6-8

THE BIBLE IS CLEAR ON HOW A BELIEVER SHOULD GIVE. *Stop manipulating God's people*❗

HEBREWS 7

11 So IF THE PRIESTHOOD OF LEVI, ON WHICH THE LAW WAS BASED, COULD HAVE ACHIEVED THE PERFECTION GOD INTENDED , WHY DID GOD NEED TO ESTABLISH A DIFFERENT PRIESTHOOD, **with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?**

12 AND IF THE PRIESTHOOD IS CHANGED , THE LAW MUST ALSO BE CHANGED TO PERMIT IT ?

18 Yes, THE OLD REQUIREMENT ABOUT THE PRIESTHOOD WAS SET ASIDE BECAUSE IT WAS WEAK. 19 For THE LAW NEVER MADE ANYTHING PERFECT. But NOW WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN A BETTER HOPE, *through which we draw near to GOD.*

Jesus rebuked the JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOR TITHING IN HYPOCRISY.
Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, *and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith.* It is these you ought to have practiced without neglecting the others.

Giving to the saints/Christians - Gal 2v10 Rom 12v13, 2 Cor 8vs7-12, Matt 6v1, Gal 6v10,

Giving to God's work - Matt 6v4, Matt 24v40, 2Cor.8vs4,5,7, Heb 13:16, Rom 15v27, Mark.10v21, 2 Cor8vs4-7, Phil 4v17, Acts 20v35

Giving to Servants of God -
1 Cor 9v12-14, 1 Tim 5v17, Gal 6vs6-10, 1Tim 5v8, Matt 10vs 41-42, 2 Cor 8v7

A lot of you who go to church are very very ignorant.
Tithing is a Jewish law, which doesn't apply to you, who are considered the gentiles.

This is what concerns you, read and understand. Stop being mugulized by selfish pastors.

Read the whole of Acts chapter 15....

Here is verse 28 to give you small sense.

28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.You will do well to avoid these things.

When you read Malachi chapter 3,it talks about the curse that comes when you don't pay your tithe. Pastor oyedepo didn't say it from his head. As long as you are a Christian and belong to the body of Christ,you must pay your tithe to the church you belong to;so that there will be meat in the house of God. There are blessings attached to other givings like giving to the poor, giving to beggars and the rest. But giving your tithe attract it's own blessings. Do you know what it means for God to rebuke devourer for your sake? Christainity is not a religion.
its the Life of Christ in you. You are citizen of heaven. If you live in Rome,be ready to pay tax to the Romans so as to benefit from the good things that Will come from there. As a Christian, be ready to receive goodies as you pay your tithe. Don't listen and follow those who don't pay. It's not everyone that call Lord!!! That are truly drawing from God. Some know the source of their income and you don't know when the devourer will come or when the curse will start manifesting. John d Rockefeller is a tither. And he became the wealthiest Man in America's history. A true christain should pay tithe

When armed robbers visited my hostel while I was in the university, I was so confused as to what I should do.. While pacing up and down my tiny room,so afraid and I decided to get out some money out of my box to give instead of letting them have to get it themselves when they eventually come to my room.. I then ran into another crossroad of getting the money out because the room was dark,I won't be able to see the number combination for the box.. While in this confused state, I heard a still voice within me saying"You can't pay your tithe to Me and as well as to the armed robbers"Instantly,fear left me and I sat on my bed waiting for them to come knocking on my door.. It was at this point I realized that my door wasn't locked. I forgot to lock it but I still wasn't afraid.. The thieves never came to my room,they went to the other rooms but mine was spared. That was the first time my neighbour who was always scare of sleeping alone in her room slept in mine,this was the reason why I slept off without locking my door. We always go to her room to pass the night there,but on that fateful day we slept in my room. This is so scriptural,because Bishop Oyedepo wasn't the one who reminded me about my tithing,when the devourers( armed robbers) came calling but that still voice on the 16th of August,2006 was the voice of the Holy Spirit. Ever since I have been paying my tithe in accordance to Malachi3:10-12, God have been rebuking devourers( untimely deaths,armed robbers,sickness,failures etc) for my sake.. It's only those who love you that will tell you the truth. Papa hit the nail on the head.. God bless you Papa,and madam Stella or p up the good work.. God bless you ma..

Hmmm... This tithing issue brought a serious argument between myself and my pastor husband. During the lockdown with all the hardship and hunger the church just handed little to people. Where is the tithes going to? When u a challenged help barely come from the church you pay your tithes to. Pastor buy expensive cars and things that normally their salaries cannot cover. If jesus was to be a Nigerian he for rich pass even billgates. I have stopped tithing. If the money winner chapel have is judiciously use to help the poor and needy in her midst Nigeria will be a better place.

I also had an encounter where I was almost by armed robbers, they gain entry into our house at night started rough handling us,they draged me out and started hitting me and tearing y clothes to rape me they overpowered me and then I screamed for God to save that I am a tither ,I kept screaming reminding God till one of them stopped them and I was not rapped.My point is I saw it in the bible and I do it,this is not to say that people who it happened to, do not know God please. I do it with understanding and conviction.It does not stop me from helping the poor when I can.I have also had other cases where I reminded him of my tithings and he showed up yours might not be tithing..Forgive my typos please

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, if he did that despite our sinful ways, why then do we think we can do anything more, before He blesses us? To sow seed, pay tithe, etc, before God can bless you, is a flawed theology propagated by hardline Pentecostals..God Can not be bribed or cajoled to do anything by your mere giving!!! It is all by His grace!
