God bless you and your ministry. Its great to hear a biblical sermon on the tithing abuse taught today in the majority of churches. Tithing is a bondage doctrine taught by teachers subjugating their followers into bondage.
+George Rego Romans 3:28, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9... Also my favorite Galatians 5:4 (KJB) "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
Your smile is a result hearing the voice of The Shepherd, and your own humility in not mentally resisting someone, doing a work of The Holy Spirit, not hindering one "threshing-out the grain, as a bull does. You are right, these things provide a good feeling, and put a smile on ones face.
If you have a family, take care of them first. If you have debt, pay it off so you can become a "cheerful giver". If you have a hurting neighbor help him first. If you have a greed problem ask the Lord to heal you.
Wow this was an eye opener good message tithing is 30% instead of 10% but the New Testament believer does not have to pay tithes we are no longer under the law. Good Message
Christ has indeed set us free from the law and we are no longer under the slavery of law. If giving becomes our work, it ceases to be grace. In New Testament, giving is a grace.
Thank you brother for preaching the the truth on this. I quit tithing many years ago. But, I do give to those in need in my Christian family. Also, I firmly believe that giving is more than just dollars and decimal points, but giving of one's time and talents is also very precious. God bless you!
oh no you didn't! Talents??? WHAT, you mean sharing of knowledge and skills, NEVER. If I teach a man to fish I feed him for a life time, but if I only give a man a fish I keep him dependent on me for ever. That way I can power over him all his life and manipulate him to my will. The "Store House" was for Temple duties "that there may be meat in mine house" Malachi is a reprimand to the Levites obligations of their "tenth of the tithe" (or the 3rd&6th year of the 7 year cycle) no one else's!
Awesome teaching! I'm so glad some of the body of Christ is finally getting the revelation of this! I have received a lot of backlash years ago after I learned this and I hated to sit in a church and listen to the Word being wrongly taught! I was free and I wanted those preachers to be exposed and the people to be free as well. Praise the Lord for more preachers coming to this revelation! ❤🙏😀
Absolutely we definitely receive retaliation for this sounding the alarm 🚨, I even had a warlock send a python spirit at me, but Jesus Christ is the door 🚪 of the sheep gate hallelujah
I am so proud of this Preacher! Finally someone tells the TRUTH! Also, Elder P. McCain you are on the "money", hehe. Literally on the "money". Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well. I agree with you the this preacher 100%. What gets me is so many preachers today know the Word of God but are unwilling to repent and set God's people free.
It is great to see a pastor who is actually honest when it comes to tithing! I have said the same thing for years and seem to always get shot down and made to look bad. Just to add to this. It must hurt the heart of Christ terribly who gave his all to set up free and pay off the debt of the law, and then to have someone say basically or indirectly what Christ did is not enough. You have to give 10% tithes or you are robbing God. That is like saying Jesus only paid 90% of the debt and you are responsible for the other 10%.
Amen.. That is the right teaching about tithing.. There are lots of denomination church that still don't know the right teachings about tithing.. I hope and pray that this teaching will enlighten many Christians..
Thank you for teaching with wisdom by God given. And may all evangelists become aware of tithing the correct way and OUT of the curse of the law WHILE they teach GRACE!
So many things wrong with some of these concepts and comments BUT on the actual topic, yes tithing was used in Genesis as a term to render giving. Abraham gave 10% of the spoils of war. Outside of that, Jacob willingly offered. Tithing was never money and was directly given to the Levitical Priesthood. Malachi 3 is so abused by pastors. Malachi 3 was talking to corrupt priests not God's people.
This pastor explained very well about tithing. This was my first time ever hear such a very well as Cristal as clear explanation. I might say my church same as the other churches putting guilt in the heart of many by not giving your tithes. And having a wrong thinking that all the blessings, healing, protection, etc...is out of giving your tithes. And also my church always say where your church is so your tithes should go. Thank you Pastor.🙏GOD bless your heart 💓
+Ardell McDuffie I'm still learning myself about this topic but from what I have read and seen on another youtube site...apparently the possessions that Abraham gave were stolen from the war..so they were not his own possessions from the beginning...
“If your church can not survive on freewill offerings maybe God is not part of your church at all.” Hence, generating funds in the name of obsolete law (Moses) is denial of Grace. Abraham didnt give tithe from His wealth he gave from the spoils and Melchizedek is the Shadow of Christ, (Plz see Hebrews on the priesthood), neither Abraham tithed daily,weekls,monthly or annually... nor Melchizedek a regular priest with the altars to accept. I am not a jew to Tithe, not my pastors a Levite of priesthood lineage. I am not physically circumcised, rather circumcised through Christ. So my role on "giving" is from my freewill, that i cannot hold the gratitude unless I am greed, wherefore I am directed by spirit to support any work of "Body of Christ" not limited to my local church. God shows the need and I am stirred with thankfulness to support in any form of tool Prayer/Money/Workmanship/Labour could be anything.... a stone in a brick is also considered if my status is in such content. We are fulfilling law through Jesus Christ, so my actions are not directed to obey any law, rather spirit filled actions, that he is the author and finisher of my doings... I cannot claim even a dust from my end to please him from my end.... it is HE who initiated and it is he who finishes... Important: If I am bound to law, I am cursed, since I reject the Blood Shed by Jesus Christ as Inadequate. There is no inadequacy in my Saviour Blood for my Salvation, which I need to earn by following the Law. I am called to fulfill the law through Christ, and He is my all. Churches, Ministries should be transparent on the projects and tasks in fund raising, once completed not required, and to run the regular congregations.... again to be transparent to accept the offerings as subscriptions.... that to not fixed or compelled.... We often speak about the cheerful giving part but hide the other part of the verse... must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion 2 Corinthians 9:6-7English Standard Version (ESV) The Cheerful Giver6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[a] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ---Cursed are those who follow the law and who directs others to fall under law... I am under grace and grateful, gratitude on my actions to receive and play my part completely under my Saviors realm. God Bless you Brother...

God is his protector no one can curse that which is under, God's protection. he is actually defending the Gospel of our redeemer, our Lord Christ Jesus!!!
This is an awesome preaching about Tithing. I always question about this sensitive topic. I always believe that it should come from our heart especially if you are struggling financially. Thank you for your wonderful preaching. I am so glad I came across this video. It really helped me understand it better.
Tithing WAS introduced with Abraham. Tithing was explained by Moses Under the law, Obedience to it demanded under the law, and today we are not under the law. That's pretty easy. Where does the apostle to the Gentiles say, bring ye all the TITHES...
Abraham did a one time tithe on some spoils of war to the king of Salem who helped him win the battle he fought.this is in no way a mandate or precedent to be followed by today's christian
@@michaelmerck7576 if you had listened to this message you would know that what you are saying is unnecessary. That's what I preached and explained that we do not type today.
My son and I just started attending a church since Nov. 2014. I thought we would keep in this fellowship....Until this past Sun.until the son of the pastor(who preaches every Sun Eve service) He USED his verse about ROBBING GOD and then said....You would be better off of ROBBING a BANK if you are going to ROB ....than to ROB GOD !! Can you imagine a spirit filled pastor saying such a thing ? THEN ...he kept saying the congregation was CURSED....like the children were in rebellion and other misfortune happening in marriages, finances....having to have both parents work etc. etc. etc. because of not obeying the tithe !! Offerings...gifts....not giving to the guest speaker for the SPIRITUAL FOOD they got from him by their gift offering to him being none or minimal !! He said we noticed that the FAMILIES that LEFT the Church..STOPPED giving over some time- before they left MY SON Left with FEAR and GUILT an " I " had to explain to HIM that it was an OLD testament bible verse etc etc and EASE HIS Fear & Guilt because if hi gave 10% of his income HE would not have enough to pay his current expenses or FOOD...and He would have to ASK for FOOD from the churches that give FOOD to te POOR in this city. I said to him , " Does that make sense' ? God Bless his servants that tell truth !!!!
Tithing today is used to control the people and fill the greedy pockets of those who defend it. Read the real reason why tithing was brought into church again.When they want to live under the law, they need to obey all 619 rules of that law and not just the rule what suits them. They never read the first chapters from Malachi. Because if so they would see who really was robbing from God, it were the priest themselves. The first verses are saying> This is a prophecy for the nation of Israel. We are not Israel , but Gentiles saved by the Grace of God.
I love this message keep up the good work pastor. broad is the way that leads to hell ......but narrow is the way that leads to salvation. I think you are on the right path with this message . God bless you and your family
6. I believe that one of the responsibility of the church leaders is to know who are those who need help in the church. Romans 12:13 (ISV) "Supply the needs of the saints. Extend hospitality to strangers." May our our Lord Jesus Christ bless you always and use you more to preach the truth without inhibition.
I have studied every Biblical reference to the tithe from Avraham forward, in both Hebrew and Greek. In ancient times if two army's fought a battle on someone jurisdiction the winner paid a tithe of war spoils to the local land owner on which the battle took place. Tithes in ancient Israel were government taxes under the Theocratic Kingdom of Israel. The tribe of Levi was given no land inheritance. They were to be supported by the eleven other tribes to maintain the Temple worship, provide for the poor, etc. The tithes were livestock and agricultural produce which was the main currency of that era.The book of Malachi addressed the eventual corruption within the Levitical Priesthood. The priest were stealing the Lords tithes in the form of livestock and agricultural produce. There is no New Testament command to tithe to anyone.There are only references to freewill offerings as ones conscience leads. The Apostol Paul quotes the O.T. and makes clear a worker must be paid for his work just as an ox must be allowed to eat freely as he treads out the grain. Any church that takes advantage of it members by guilting them into excessively burdensome labor or excessive monetary contributions is worse than an unbeliever.
@@michaelmerck7576 "Money" is anything a society chooses to use in trade and commerce. The topic is the Biblical use of tithes in the theocratic Kingdom of ancient Israel and how modern religious institutions twist scripture in order to guilt followers into giving their hard earned cash to "fake christian" church leaders.
Good work but again dont measure..... where you have been lead to give... Give... thats it.... no measure... only our Hearts that the Lord sees.... again getting in deep.... its Holy Spirits directions in whole... so we can never be proud of nor boast of our giving... Its he the author and the finisher.....
I grew up tithing we were told that if we didn't we would be cursed no wants to be cures right once, I left that church, I started to search the scriptures for myself, I resently decided to attend a Baptist church in my area for about a month into it the pastor gets up and saids if you're going to be attending this congregation on a regular basis you have to start tithing needles to say I haven't been back since.
Why would I subject myself to the law? Instead I give when I'm lead out of cheerful heart. I'm glad I stop giving 10 percent. My furnace broke down and I saved and cashed it out. I would have had to finance for 5 years because I gave all my money away. Take care your family FIRST. Then give when you can. Save for rainy day because it rains on the just and unjust. The law brought me to Christ. Once it did that I became free from the Law. Pastors want to bring gentiles under Jewish laws? I choose to rest in grace by faith in Christ. Those who labor have not entered into the Lord's rest. I marvel that you who were saved by grace subject yourself to the law. If you think giving money by percent is going to make you more wealthy than the guy sitting next to you, you are a simple person. The pudent sees to his going but the simple believe every word. The simple lack understanding. If you labor it is because of your mouth. It is man's reward to work and enjoy fruit that comes from it. These religious leaders refuse to sweat to work so they lie and teach those to give money under the law because they refuse to work. The curse applies to Every man! A man who refused to work should not eat. Pastors should work Monday Friday. Then Sunday pastor church. Most church buildings remain empty after Sunday. For amount of time between services there is no reason they can't hold a part time job. A pastor should eat of carnal things. But I'm sure church today was not what church was like after Jesus raised from the dead. All religion with fancy buildings, projectors, live streams, bands, on and on. Real church was house church. But gentiles turned it into big business..... Multimillionaire ministries. Remember Paul example not to take $$$$$ but to WORK making tents to provide. These pastors should get jobs like normal people do....... I preach gospel but do not profit from it. And I'm not a pastor. So does that mean people should give me money? The Lord commands we preach the gospel. It a command to every believer. Go get a job. And partake in the offerings as reward for your pastor service. Then go-to Work Monday to Friday. You can write your sermon after work. Then the community will see you devoted life of Christ and you may win souls.
In my situation I can not obey the 10% thithing . I always feel guilty everytime the pastors mentioned about the 10% in their teaching.. Thank you sir! You opened my eye.
So long that we are obligated to do the law of tithing... I'm now under grace of giving not by the law of giving. But by willingness in mind not under of grudgingly or of necessity Amen
I just realized that even malachi 3:10 has the total % of tithes in the chapter and verse! 3×10 =30% this was not a coincidence! All praises to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA HAMASIACH for knowledge and understanding! May we all continue to study and show ourselves approved because that gave me confirmation and chills!
When a church enforces the doctrine of tithing, they alienate and ostracize many Christians away from the church AND God. Who wants to go to a church where the pastor calls them a thief? Who wants to go to a church where you feel guilty for not tithing?
God richly bless you sir and your wonderful ministry for sharing his honest, unadulterated and true word. Another fact is that in that famous verses used to persuade people into tithing, God was addressing the priests not the people. They were the ones who were robbing God. They would vow to give something worthy and give something totally different which was unsuitable and insulting to God. Thank you
achiepalaago With that teaching, You could say the 10 commandments were written for the jews that fled Egypt only. It dosant work. The whole bible is for us.
The book of Malachi was addressing the Israelites and the priest (Chap 1-2) who were under the law of Moses. Mal 1:1 The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi Mal 2:1-2 And now, O priests, this command is for you. 2 If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Mal 3:12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts. It is obvious who Malachi is addressing. The tithing under the law of Moses was food items - not money, was the tenth item - not the first, and is clearly stated as such... "Every tithe of the herd and flock--every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod--will be holy to the LORD." Leviticus 27:32 "...You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin..." Matt 23:23 Some try to use Abram’s tithe of the spoils of war as an example that tithing pre-dates the Mosaic law. But Abram gave the other 90% back to Sodom and there’s no mention that he tithed on his income. We are saved by grace, not of works... "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us...” Galatians 3:13 Under the covenant of grace we are not told to tithe but are instructed to give as we have decided in our hearts and not under obligation. But we’re also encouraged to give generously… “whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2Cor 9 6-7 We are not justified by the law… "yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified." Galatians 2:16 "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20 "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." James 2:10 The Pharisees were keepers of the law but had obviously missed the point. Read Matt 23:23 and you'll see that Jesus isn't giving the accolades for keeping the law, including tithing. Rather, He was chastising them for missing the larger point - to love God and each other. This is made clear in Gal 5:14 'For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”' and also Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 19:19, John 13:34, Romans 13:8, and .. "Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Romans 13:10.
Malachi 3:8 was specifically targeting the Levites who were taking the tithe from the people and not using the tithe for its intended purpose. You can clearly see who the writing is directly addressed to. First the people of Israel and of that group, the priests or Levites. God told the MINISTRY of that time that THEY*the ministry* had not only robbed God but the ENTIRE nation of Israel. So the ministry misused the tithe and in doing so robbed God and robbed the people that were paying the tithe in the first place. When Malachi 3:8 is usually taught these days its used to target the people sitting in the pews and NOT used in context which was an indictment against the ministry.
These very words in this teaching are the exact words the Holy Spirit spoke to me yesterday after listening to a favorite pastor teach on tithing! I mean the same words... good stuff!
Just read in the NEW testament from MARK 7:11-12. Jesus said this to you so that you take care of your immediate family when they are in need before you give to your church.
Thank you so much for this message; I had a friend that sent me a document containing the same facts that you mentioned about. You gave me much more clarity; I like gave thousands of dollars to the church thinking that I was doing GOD's will. One year it was over 60,000.00; my business did very well that year. I wish I would have heard this before! Thanks
Lol,so true bro.I also don't believe followers of Jesus suspose to give tithes,but only give what's purpose in our hearts/minds.I had to leave the last church I attended because the pastor and some of his ministers got angry with me because I disagree with them on this subject and they kept on insulting me from the pulpit of course indirectly of course lol.I call them pulpit punks.
brother, Salvatotoxgracia I'm so sorry you had to indure all the insults that man gave you from the alter, I myself had to endure many for speaking out against their false teaching for self gain however, I pray that you will endure these trail with the strength of the Holy Spirit til the end, God speed my brother!!
EVERYONE that is under the law is under the curse. Galatians 3:10 God did not give the law so you could keep it. He gave the law to show you that you could not keep it, that you are a sinner and you need a savior. Rom. 3:19,20 for by the law is the knowledge of sin. For ye are not under the law but under grace Rom. 6:14
I visited a church and the leader talked for about 15 minutes railing about the tithes. They went on saying how ppl are buying Frigidaire appliances etc but cannot tithe. I was so grieved listening.....for SO LONG! I didn't give anything I planned to give. I gave it to a homeless person on the street after church. I later learned by reading the Bible page by page about the correct principle of tithing and how it was done. I learned how it has been manipulated for personal gain. The Lord will hold us accountable for how we disperse what the Lord has blessed us with. It falls on us to study the word of God and know the truth.
many churches can't unite but when it comes to tithing they speak same language. why did Jesus nor the Apostles say anything about tithes. is it not in the law that the Israelites were delivered from? if the Israelites were delivered from it why put gentiles in bondage. this questions needs a mature christian to answer them. Apostle Peter said, they make merchandise of you- what was he warning us of? is this subject feeding wolves and putting children of God in bondage?
Preaching the law of Moses to us today. We are under Grace thank you Jesus. We give with a cheerful heart and we are happy ti guve more to the needy the widow and orphans.
But we cant separate law and grace ,grace came because of sin ,no sin no grace ,no gospel, no Jesus christ ,not mentioned in old testament but when Adam and Eve sinned God allowed them to continue though not in the initial place ,that is grace ,yes we are no longer under the law but the same Paul who says we are no longer under the law says in Rom 6 shall we sin so that grace may abound ,he says No ,the law does not save us but it points sin ,its a like mirror, mirror doesn't remove an dirty on one face but tells you where the dirty is ,same with the law ,it doesn't save us but only the blood of the lamb cleansed us ,salvation is only from Jesus christ not by keeping the law but we are judged by our works According to Rev, we cant separate old and new testament 2 Timothy 3 v16 all scripture was written by the inspiration of God for reproof, rebuke ,correct so that we are perfected for righteousness,
We used to buy cold drinks with the tithe money when the church members left and I was working with the bishop of the church. I was doing what I was told to do. LORD have mercy
We could not in a million years, be able to follow that!!! But this is followed in EVERY church!!! We are beat down with this!!! And its not for us today, we are under grace!! In the NT, Paul said that we should give as we have purposed in our hearts! That's why we are broke and disgusted...
No and that's why I'm not under "the law" of the tithe. Today there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. We are all saved by Paul's Gospel of Grace.
I give a tithe or when I can't close to it, according to Luke 6:38. Everytime I give to church, a gift to family or a friend I go by that scripture and have been so blessed.
Giving shouldn't be limited to 10%. It is according to how much you are able and willing to give. Sometimes less sometimes more. What he said tithing is not a must.
He is absolutely right, why do Christian Pastors teach the tithe today? I think they don't trust God to supply their ministry needs. OT tithes were out of the increase from God... and for feeding the poor, etc.
Oh I remember the confusion of net or gross pay.. learning to rightly divide the word of truth has set me free.. and I’m more grateful for Gods Grace..
2 Tim: 2:15 Read this: "Study to show yourself approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY...(again Rightly) Dividing the WORD OF TRUTH!!" You cannot cram the entire Bible to apply to everybody everywhere. You have to LEARN by studying to rightly DIVIDE the WORD of truth. Which is the Word Of God (the Bible). Paul was chosen of God to teach Gentiles the secrets of the mystery that was before the world began. This mystery was not yet known before Paul. But NOW is made manifest. (Known).
The Tithe Dies in Acts 15. I do not understand this constant digging up this “Dead Horse” or patching an old wineskin. The tithe is not in or required by the New Covenant we have as Christians. The Church (means “Called Out” assembly, not a building or temple) in Acts 15, this was decided by the Holy Spirit that Gentiles (that is me and all the non-Jews) are not under any of the Old Covenant. We as Christians are to support missions, by example, we are to support an elder that teaches and preaches, Remember that Paul was a tentmaker by trade and supported himself sometimes. We are to support those in need, we are to give not the 10% or the 23% of the actual OT tithe that the Jew is required to give, but to give 100% of our time, money, goods, and life. Generously and freely giving happy to give not under law or rule. We do a lot of things out of tradition and convenience. The fans like this tactic.The church attender can check that box and move on with their life. Followers know that Jesus does not come by on Sundays to count nickels and noses. Someone will have to explain why we in America have churches on every corner and homeless in the streets, widows no one cares about, orphans without homes, sick with no caregiver and the lost stay lost while we squabble. We have leaders that fleece the flock to promote more programs and buildings to keep rich preachers and their lackeys in positions of power to lead sheep to strange practices that divide the flock. Jesus called us to be Salt and Light, to take up a cross and follow Him. Wash feet! If all the fans and sometimes visitors, tire kickers and " fair weather Christians" did not attend or give (and most of these don't give) could your building keep the bills paid? Keep the doors open? If so, You may be a member of a social club not a Church of the New Testament. Love your enemies, forgive them, Love your neighbors, serve them, wash the feet of your brothers and sisters. Luke 14: 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
Thank you sir..I didn't tithe perfectly and if i didn't i felt so condemned but funny enough the Lord was still providing me..I thank God I am not under the law and now I freely give willingly with my heart and man of God it does makes one angry and I thank God that I know the Christ and the Joy and Peace in His Kingdom because otherwise i would not want to set my foot in church anymore..i do go but i don't do things that are the commandments of men anymore
12:45 got to me. I agree with you, After bringing the tithes to the storehouse, the storehouse was then used to replenish the people DURING hard times. Do most churches replenish their people during their hard times? No. They do the token contribution such as soup kitchens, but give their congregants a hard time if one of them is going thru hard times to help get bills paid.
367 dislikes because folks put whatever their beloved "godly" pastor above God, refuse the gospel of Christ, go about to establish their own righteousness by works,,, so sad
“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:9 KJV Soon our Lord will separate the sheep from the goats
Ah, finally a good teaching here about tithe. I like it! The one that this guy in the video is teaching.. He who robs God is really the one teaching old testament tithing of only ten percent! ha! good one!
Paul the Apostle was a Tent maker and PAID for his travels only when he was in " JAIL " did the body of Christ tithe to HIM for those in prison PAID for meals and the Jailer his wage Amen Freely you have received so Freely GIVE that which the lord has done in that he Freely gave his LIFE that we could tell OTHERs of his Grace that was, is still FREE, Amen
The bible says your outward man perishes in your inner man renewed daily the key word daily so I agree with the pastor your talking about .. We go from glory to glory different levels of glory ,
In Deut 14, it says bring the tenth and eat it yourseves and remember the levite as well. So this yearly tithe is not going into the storehouse but being eaten right there.
Why do people keep misquoting scripture by saying "we don't LIVE under the law"...? Romans 6:14 has more to it than just "you are not under law, but under grace." It starts with "for sin shall no longer be your master...." What Paul was saying was consistent with the rest of Romans: what the law was powerless to do, in that it had no power to stop sin, GRACE DID, because the grace of God enables the believer to stop sinning. The law is not "done away with" We now have the GRACE to OBEY it.
I am the preacher and I am not rich. I am a full-time working pastor. Our assembly does not tithe. Each person gives AS the Lord prospers them, they give cheerfully and not of necessity. I don't see what People give so cannot answer your question about poor people and what they give. Everyone must give according to the dictates of their own conscience. No one is forced or threatened or manipulated into giving like Creflo does when he fleeces his people.
Rodney Beaulieu, today I was speaking to my brother in Christ about this: I received in my mail two times the request of money ; on the envelops was mentioned 20$, 50$, 100$ , or others....I was arguing with my friend, because I said that I prefer to give to the homeless, and to the poor families.. I don’ t agree to give money to a building. In any church I went is all about money....is 😞What do you think? Thank you 🙏 in advance for your answer and God bless😇🌺🙏
Yes, pastor preached Malachi and robbing God today. We already left one church where tithing was the topic every Sunday. The pastor of the church we left said he should have the most beautiful house in town and also deserved to have a lake house.
Amen Brother, Thank you for this enlightment I had been in prisoned by this teaching for the past five years. May the Lord our God forgive me also for teaching the old teaching at Mal 3:10 in a singular word and not understanding the Grace of God where I can give more than what in my heart desire to glorify Him as a cheerful giver.
Its all about the money with zero accountability. We are called to support the church financially of our freewill unto God. I too was lied to for many years.
Thank GOD for you, i had read up on tithe but still this sunday we had a guest pastor and he told us about tithe & that tithing would save our lives..please pray for my church!!
I've noticed one thing. Every church pastor interprets the bible diffrently in many dogmatic areas, yet each one claims the holy spirit is on him or her to speak the truth and without error. Its funny that the holy spirit is enpowering these pastors to preach differently. It is no wonder there are so many factions of organisised christianity and 30000 to 35000 evanglical churches who prefer to be independent and not be called a protestant church.
George Rego That’s why I read the Textbook (the Bible) for myself and use my God given intellect to try and work out what God has to say on any given matter. The Holy Spirit will tell you what it concerns you to know. The bible says a lot about giving. It even tells us when not to give.
question when did it become money. It was about food for poor lev 27:30, duet 14:22, duet 12:32, 1tim 6:3-10, when did food become money. if God came in flesh why did he not have a mansion with jet planes. Jesus was homeless ....SAY I DONT HAVE A PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD. TOLD DECIPLES TO LEAVE EVERYTHING THE OWNED AND FOLLOW HIM.
4. The flow of money or goods within the church should be: From the rich to the poor and needy. NOT: From the laity to the clergy. I believe that even if you are a pastor if you have more you should be the one to give to the member of the church in need that there may be an equality. In the book of Acts when the Church encountered a very difficult situation every one gave according to their will and some even sold their houses and the collections distributed to everyone according to their needs.
I am always amazed at the sovereignty of God.. that He encapsulated this book for over two thousand years for no other purpose. Your sarcasm, of course, is not lost on me either.
Hello Marcelo, I am not fighting against anyone who has been abused by those leaders who should know better, but who are interpreting Scripture for their own gain. I am only interested in truth, and in helping believers to find it. Bless you, Mario
Roger Halliday How true your explanation on tithing.The new churches are forcing people to give quoting scripture to justify, And they are very good in drawing the weak the old and the helpless. But would they tell the people where the money goes. Yes the pastor needs to be provided as the levies. But not for his rich life styles and 15000 square feet mansions. His branded clothing and the super rich hotels they stay in the thousand dollar tips they give. Some don't travels on air lines cos they see the others as demons.
IF you want to tithe biblically you will tithe 23 1/3 percent. If you want to give according to Paul, you can give 20, 30, 40 even 50 percent. There is no limit on how much a person can give to the Lord today.
The Holy Spirit announced through Paul the wonderful news that Christ has freed us Christians from the yoke of bondage, which even the Patriarchs were not able to carry - referring to the law, but some people just love to be enslaved again. what's worse, they want us to go back with them.
God Loves a cheerful giver, actually though we as Christian saved by the Grace of God thru Our Lord Jesud Christ can give more that what we are to give to support His body the Church.
Amen, finally a preacher who understands the dispensations of the Bible! Thank you!
This man has a Pastor heart ... I encourage His people to support Him ....good sound teaching ........God loves cheerful givers
God bless you and your ministry. Its great to hear a biblical sermon on the tithing abuse taught today in the majority of churches. Tithing is a bondage doctrine taught by teachers subjugating their followers into bondage.
My brother in CHRIST i could not have preached this message any better! Awesome!
I want to know where in the Bible it says "justification by faith alone"
+George Rego what the....um I did not type this comment...I believe it was my father on my account...but why do you wonder?..it should be obvious
+George Rego
Romans 3:28, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9... Also my favorite Galatians 5:4 (KJB) "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
Romans 4 deals with the subject of having faith accredited to us as righteousness, being justified by faith.
Also, as pointed out by MJBB33, read Romans 3:27-31.
Something about good preaching that puts a smile on my face
Yeah he is smiling too. Give him your money.
SO TRUE JUST DOING MY RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC AND SAW THIS U ARE SO RIGHT IAM LAUGHING TOO GOOD BIBLE TEACHING
Your smile is a result hearing the voice of The Shepherd, and your own humility in not mentally resisting someone, doing a work of The Holy Spirit, not hindering one "threshing-out the grain, as a bull does.
You are right, these things provide a good feeling, and put a smile on ones face.
If you have a family, take care of them first. If you have debt, pay it off so you can become a "cheerful giver". If you have a hurting neighbor help him first. If you have a greed problem ask the Lord to heal you.
Gary Miles
Gary Miles
I agree
I agree, family first
Gary Miles That's NOT what the bible says.
Wow this was an eye opener good message tithing is 30% instead of 10% but the New Testament believer does not have to pay tithes we are no longer under the law. Good Message
Under grace we need to give generously and joyfully without any compulsion. For it is our form of worship and how good He is to us...
Christ has indeed set us free from the law and we are no longer under the slavery of law.
If giving becomes our work, it ceases to be grace. In New Testament, giving is a grace.
Thank you brother for preaching the the truth on this. I quit tithing many years ago. But, I do give to those in need in my Christian family. Also, I firmly believe that giving is more than just dollars and decimal points, but giving of one's time and talents is also very precious. God bless you!
oh no you didn't! Talents??? WHAT, you mean sharing of knowledge and skills, NEVER. If I teach a man to fish I feed him for a life time, but if I only give a man a fish I keep him dependent on me for ever. That way I can power over him all his life and manipulate him to my will.
The "Store House" was for Temple duties "that there may be meat in mine house"
Malachi is a reprimand to the Levites obligations of their "tenth of the tithe" (or the 3rd&6th year of the 7 year cycle) no one else's!
Awesome teaching! I'm so glad some of the body of Christ is finally getting the revelation of this! I have received a lot of backlash years ago after I learned this and I hated to sit in a church and listen to the Word being wrongly taught! I was free and I wanted those preachers to be exposed and the people to be free as well. Praise the Lord for more preachers coming to this revelation! ❤🙏😀
Absolutely we definitely receive retaliation for this sounding the alarm 🚨, I even had a warlock send a python spirit at me, but Jesus Christ is the door 🚪 of the sheep gate hallelujah
The mathematics is not correct. Ten percent of increase is not the same as that of the original.
I am so proud of this Preacher! Finally someone tells the TRUTH! Also, Elder P. McCain you are on the "money", hehe. Literally on the "money". Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well. I agree with you the this preacher 100%. What gets me is so many preachers today know the Word of God but are unwilling to repent and set God's people free.
2COR.9:7 GIVE AS PURPOSED IN YOUR HEART CHEERFULLY.
This is the right priciple of New Testament giving.
It is great to see a pastor who is actually honest when it comes to tithing! I have said the same thing for years and seem to always get shot down and made to look bad. Just to add to this. It must hurt the heart of Christ terribly who gave his all to set up free and pay off the debt of the law, and then to have someone say basically or indirectly what Christ did is not enough. You have to give 10% tithes or you are robbing God. That is like saying Jesus only paid 90% of the debt and you are responsible for the other 10%.
Amen.. That is the right teaching about tithing.. There are lots of denomination church that still don't know the right teachings about tithing.. I hope and pray that this teaching will enlighten many Christians..
They do know but they won't teach it
Another exellent teaching. Also once pastors take off Tithing and give as God lays it on your Heart, finances went up three fold!!!
He's attacking the sacred cow of the denominations...oh my!
Thank you for teaching with wisdom by God given. And may all evangelists become aware of tithing the correct way and OUT of the curse of the law WHILE they teach GRACE!
I told my church that New testament wasn't until acts. but it wasn't until Jesus rose from the dead.
that is true
bless you ! you are very correct.
So many things wrong with some of these concepts and comments BUT on the actual topic, yes tithing was used in Genesis as a term to render giving. Abraham gave 10% of the spoils of war. Outside of that, Jacob willingly offered. Tithing was never money and was directly given to the Levitical Priesthood. Malachi 3 is so abused by pastors. Malachi 3 was talking to corrupt priests not God's people.
This pastor explained very well about tithing. This was my first time ever hear such a very well as Cristal as clear explanation. I might say my church same as the other churches putting guilt in the heart of many by not giving your tithes. And having a wrong thinking that all the blessings, healing, protection, etc...is out of giving your tithes. And also my church always say where your church is so your tithes should go. Thank you Pastor.🙏GOD bless your heart 💓
God bless you pastor,I used to believe in tithing ,till the Holy spirit opened my eyes that it was under the law.
so what to you say about Abraham and Melchizedek when Abraham gave him a tithe of his stuff. That was before the law ever was.
+Ardell McDuffie I'm still learning myself about this topic but from what I have read and seen on another youtube site...apparently the possessions that Abraham gave were stolen from the war..so they were not his own possessions from the beginning...
“If your church can not survive on freewill offerings maybe God is not part of your church at all.” Hence, generating funds in the name of obsolete law (Moses) is denial of Grace. Abraham didnt give tithe from His wealth he gave from the spoils and Melchizedek is the Shadow of Christ, (Plz see Hebrews on the priesthood), neither Abraham tithed daily,weekls,monthly or annually... nor Melchizedek a regular priest with the altars to accept.
I am not a jew to Tithe, not my pastors a Levite of priesthood lineage. I am not physically circumcised, rather circumcised through Christ. So my role on "giving" is from my freewill, that i cannot hold the gratitude unless I am greed, wherefore I am directed by spirit to support any work of "Body of Christ" not limited to my local church.
God shows the need and I am stirred with thankfulness to support in any form of tool Prayer/Money/Workmanship/Labour could be anything.... a stone in a brick is also considered if my status is in such content.
We are fulfilling law through Jesus Christ, so my actions are not directed to obey any law, rather spirit filled actions, that he is the author and finisher of my doings... I cannot claim even a dust from my end to please him from my end.... it is HE who initiated and it is he who finishes...
Important: If I am bound to law, I am cursed, since I reject the Blood Shed by Jesus Christ as Inadequate.
There is no inadequacy in my Saviour Blood for my Salvation, which I need to earn by following the Law.
I am called to fulfill the law through Christ, and He is my all.
Churches, Ministries should be transparent on the projects and tasks in fund raising, once completed not required, and to run the regular congregations.... again to be transparent to accept the offerings as subscriptions.... that to not fixed or compelled....
We often speak about the cheerful giving part but hide the other part of the verse...
must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion
2 Corinthians 9:6-7English Standard Version (ESV) The Cheerful Giver6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[a] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
---Cursed are those who follow the law and who directs others to fall under law... I am under grace and grateful, gratitude on my actions to receive and play my part completely under my Saviors realm.
God Bless you Brother...

chioma chinedu So, are the commandments law? We obey them or at least try to. Why not malachi 3:8?
this pastor is spoiling the business. I'm praying for his protection as he will be cursed by others.
Amen very well put !
God is his protector no one can curse that which is under, God's protection. he is actually defending the Gospel of our redeemer, our Lord Christ Jesus!!!
This is an awesome preaching about Tithing. I always question about this sensitive topic. I always believe that it should come from our heart especially if you are struggling financially. Thank you for your wonderful preaching. I am so glad I came across this video. It really helped me understand it better.
Tithing WAS introduced with Abraham. Tithing was explained by Moses Under the law, Obedience to it demanded under the law, and today we are not under the law. That's pretty easy. Where does the apostle to the Gentiles say, bring ye all the TITHES...
Abraham did a one time tithe on some spoils of war to the king of Salem who helped him win the battle he fought.this is in no way a mandate or precedent to be followed by today's christian
Abraham actually never tithed by the Jewish concept
@@michaelmerck7576 if you had listened to this message you would know that what you are saying is unnecessary. That's what I preached and explained that we do not type today.
My son and I just started attending a church since Nov. 2014. I thought we would keep in this fellowship....Until this past Sun.until the son of the pastor(who preaches every Sun Eve service) He USED his verse about ROBBING GOD and then said....You would be better off of ROBBING a BANK if you are going to ROB ....than to ROB GOD !! Can you imagine a spirit filled pastor saying such a thing ? THEN ...he kept saying the congregation was CURSED....like the children were in rebellion and other misfortune happening in marriages, finances....having to have both parents work etc. etc. etc. because of not obeying the tithe !! Offerings...gifts....not giving to the guest speaker for the SPIRITUAL FOOD they got from him by their gift offering to him being none or minimal !! He said we noticed that the FAMILIES that LEFT the Church..STOPPED giving over some time- before they left MY SON Left with FEAR and GUILT an " I " had to explain to HIM that it was an OLD testament bible verse etc etc and EASE HIS Fear & Guilt because if hi gave 10% of his income HE would not have enough to pay his current expenses or FOOD...and He would have to ASK for FOOD from the churches that give FOOD to te POOR in this city. I said to him , " Does that make sense' ? God Bless his servants that tell truth !!!!
Oehh he is going to be in trouble when our heavenly Daddy's coming for us!
Starlite where’s your faith?
Tithing today is used to control the people and fill the greedy pockets of those who defend it. Read the real reason why tithing was brought into church again.When they want to live under the law, they need to obey all 619 rules of that law and not just the rule what suits them. They never read the first chapters from Malachi. Because if so they would see who really was robbing from God, it were the priest themselves. The first verses are saying> This is a prophecy for the nation of Israel. We are not Israel , but Gentiles saved by the Grace of God.
BubbaTheBulldog Right where it should be. God does not give out blessings and curses in this age of grace.
I love this message keep up the good work pastor. broad is the way that leads to hell ......but narrow is the way that leads to salvation. I think you are on the right path with this message . God bless you and your family
6.
I believe that one of the responsibility of the church leaders is to know who are those who need help in the church.
Romans 12:13 (ISV)
"Supply the needs of the saints. Extend hospitality to strangers."
May our our Lord Jesus Christ bless you always and use you more to preach the truth without inhibition.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and it righteousness and all the other things shall be added unto you.l pray God will help us all
Amen to that !
I have studied every Biblical reference to the tithe from Avraham forward, in both Hebrew and Greek. In ancient times if two army's fought a battle on someone jurisdiction the winner paid a tithe of war spoils to the local land owner on which the battle took place. Tithes in ancient Israel were government taxes under the Theocratic Kingdom of Israel. The tribe of Levi was given no land inheritance. They were to be supported by the eleven other tribes to maintain the Temple worship, provide for the poor, etc. The tithes were livestock and agricultural produce which was the main currency of that era.The book of Malachi addressed the eventual corruption within the Levitical Priesthood. The priest were stealing the Lords tithes in the form of livestock and agricultural produce. There is no New Testament command to tithe to anyone.There are only references to freewill offerings as ones conscience leads. The Apostol Paul quotes the O.T. and makes clear a worker must be paid for his work just as an ox must be allowed to eat freely as he treads out the grain. Any church that takes advantage of it members by guilting them into excessively burdensome labor or excessive monetary contributions is worse than an unbeliever.
Actually you are incorrect because money was readily available at the time Abraham and beyond
@@michaelmerck7576 "Money" is anything a society chooses to use in trade and commerce. The topic is the Biblical use of tithes in the theocratic Kingdom of ancient Israel and how modern religious institutions twist scripture in order to guilt followers into giving their hard earned cash to "fake christian" church leaders.
instead of tithing to some rich church, spend 10% of your profits on effective missions and the poor.
AMEN AMEN AMEN
Good work but again dont measure..... where you have been lead to give... Give... thats it.... no measure... only our Hearts that the Lord sees....
again getting in deep.... its Holy Spirits directions in whole... so we can never be proud of nor boast of our giving...
Its he the author and the finisher.....

I grew up tithing we were told that if we didn't we would be cursed no wants to be cures right once, I left that church, I started to search the scriptures for myself, I resently decided to attend a Baptist church in my area for about a month into it the pastor gets up and saids if you're going to be attending this congregation on a regular basis you have to start tithing needles to say I haven't been back since.
Why would I subject myself to the law? Instead I give when I'm lead out of cheerful heart. I'm glad I stop giving 10 percent. My furnace broke down and I saved and cashed it out. I would have had to finance for 5 years because I gave all my money away. Take care your family FIRST. Then give when you can. Save for rainy day because it rains on the just and unjust. The law brought me to Christ. Once it did that I became free from the Law. Pastors want to bring gentiles under Jewish laws? I choose to rest in grace by faith in Christ. Those who labor have not entered into the Lord's rest. I marvel that you who were saved by grace subject yourself to the law. If you think giving money by percent is going to make you more wealthy than the guy sitting next to you, you are a simple person. The pudent sees to his going but the simple believe every word. The simple lack understanding. If you labor it is because of your mouth. It is man's reward to work and enjoy fruit that comes from it. These religious leaders refuse to sweat to work so they lie and teach those to give money under the law because they refuse to work. The curse applies to Every man! A man who refused to work should not eat. Pastors should work Monday Friday. Then Sunday pastor church. Most church buildings remain empty after Sunday. For amount of time between services there is no reason they can't hold a part time job. A pastor should eat of carnal things. But I'm sure church today was not what church was like after Jesus raised from the dead. All religion with fancy buildings, projectors, live streams, bands, on and on. Real church was house church. But gentiles turned it into big business..... Multimillionaire ministries. Remember Paul example not to take $$$$$ but to WORK making tents to provide. These pastors should get jobs like normal people do....... I preach gospel but do not profit from it. And I'm not a pastor. So does that mean people should give me money? The Lord commands we preach the gospel. It a command to every believer. Go get a job. And partake in the offerings as reward for your pastor service. Then go-to Work Monday to Friday. You can write your sermon after work. Then the community will see you devoted life of Christ and you may win souls.
In my situation I can not obey the 10% thithing . I always feel guilty everytime the pastors mentioned about the 10% in their teaching.. Thank you sir! You opened my eye.
Nice to hear this teaching. I've been a tither all my life.
There's nothing wrong if you practice tithing as long as you're doing it for the Lord...
Spot on! God bless you for saying like it is. Let those who have ears, hear! .. or continue to be under the law
So long that we are obligated to do the law of tithing... I'm now under grace of giving not by the law of giving. But by willingness in mind not under of grudgingly or of necessity Amen
TiThing is harmful? Yes
Give as your heart desire
God knows how much you can give.
WHEN JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD HE 'REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW AN BECAME A CURSE FOR US , SO NOW WE'RE UNDER GRACE AN MERCY
I just realized that even malachi 3:10 has the total % of tithes in the chapter and verse! 3×10 =30% this was not a coincidence! All praises to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA HAMASIACH for knowledge and understanding! May we all continue to study and show ourselves approved because that gave me confirmation and chills!
By far the best message on tithing and preached with passion.
When a church enforces the doctrine of tithing, they alienate and ostracize many Christians away from the church AND God. Who wants to go to a church where the pastor calls them a thief? Who wants to go to a church where you feel guilty for not tithing?
God richly bless you sir and your wonderful ministry for sharing his honest, unadulterated and true word. Another fact is that in that famous verses used to persuade people into tithing, God was addressing the priests not the people. They were the ones who were robbing God. They would vow to give something worthy and give something totally different which was unsuitable and insulting to God. Thank you
achiepalaago With that teaching, You could say the 10 commandments were written for the jews that fled Egypt only. It dosant work. The whole bible is for us.
The book of Malachi was addressing the Israelites and the priest (Chap 1-2) who were under the law of Moses.
Mal 1:1 The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi
Mal 2:1-2 And now, O priests, this command is for you. 2 If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings.
Mal 3:12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
It is obvious who Malachi is addressing.
The tithing under the law of Moses was food items - not money, was the tenth item - not the first, and is clearly stated as such...
"Every tithe of the herd and flock--every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod--will be holy to the LORD." Leviticus 27:32
"...You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin..." Matt 23:23
Some try to use Abram’s tithe of the spoils of war as an example that tithing pre-dates the Mosaic law. But Abram gave the other 90% back to Sodom and there’s no mention that he tithed on his income.
We are saved by grace, not of works...
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us...” Galatians 3:13
Under the covenant of grace we are not told to tithe but are instructed to give as we have decided in our hearts and not under obligation. But we’re also encouraged to give generously…
“whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2Cor 9 6-7
We are not justified by the law…
"yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified." Galatians 2:16
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20
"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." James 2:10
The Pharisees were keepers of the law but had obviously missed the point. Read Matt 23:23 and you'll see that Jesus isn't giving the accolades for keeping the law, including tithing. Rather, He was chastising them for missing the larger point - to love God and each other. This is made clear in Gal 5:14 'For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”' and also Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 19:19, John 13:34, Romans 13:8, and ..
"Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Romans 13:10.
Craig The 10 commandments were given to the Israelites. The whole bible is for the Israelites AND US. As well as malachi 3:8.
@ruff diamond That's very true. Why moneys now?
Murf Kuhls The Bible is for our learning. The portion which is written TO US is Romans through Philemon.
Malachi 3:8 was specifically targeting the Levites who were taking the tithe from the people and not using the tithe for its intended purpose.
You can clearly see who the writing is directly addressed to. First the people of Israel and of that group, the priests or Levites.
God told the MINISTRY of that time that THEY*the ministry* had not only robbed God but the ENTIRE nation of Israel.
So the ministry misused the tithe and in doing so robbed God and robbed the people that were paying the tithe in the first place.
When Malachi 3:8 is usually taught these days its used to target the people sitting in the pews and NOT used in context which was an indictment against the ministry.
Murf Kuhls Wrong, the bible is not to us but for us to read it and rightly devide it. It’s for us to see Christ and Christ alone.
For if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing
Daniel Love that comment!!!
These very words in this teaching are the exact words the Holy Spirit spoke to me yesterday after listening to a favorite pastor teach on tithing! I mean the same words... good stuff!
I've always thought it funny how tithing has been the ONLY doctrine that ALL churches agree on.
😂🤷🏽♂️
And the ONLY OT law that they peach to follow. None of the other OT laws.
Not all churches believe in tithes.A typical example is the Church of Christ.
285 jack leg pastor's gave this man a thumbs down... Amen to the truth!!!
Just read in the NEW testament from MARK 7:11-12. Jesus said this to you so that you take care of your immediate family when they are in need before you give to your church.
Thank you so much for this message; I had a friend that sent me a document containing the same facts that you mentioned about. You gave me much more clarity; I like gave thousands of dollars to the church thinking that I was doing GOD's will. One year it was over 60,000.00; my business did very well that year. I wish I would have heard this before! Thanks
Thank you Pastor, We need a Pastor like you, very wise.
Lol,so true bro.I also don't believe followers of Jesus suspose to give tithes,but only give what's purpose in our hearts/minds.I had to leave the last church I attended because the pastor and some of his ministers got angry with me because I disagree with them on this subject and they kept on insulting me from the pulpit of course indirectly of course lol.I call them pulpit punks.

Pulpit pimps
EVERYONE that is under the law is under the curse. Galatians 3:10 God did not give the law so you could keep it. He gave the law to show you that you could not keep it, that you are a sinner and you need a savior. Rom. 3:19,20 for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
For ye are not under the law but under grace Rom. 6:14
I visited a church and the leader talked for about 15 minutes railing about the tithes. They went on saying how ppl are buying Frigidaire appliances etc but cannot tithe. I was so grieved listening.....for SO LONG! I didn't give anything I planned to give. I gave it to a homeless person on the street after church. I later learned by reading the Bible page by page about the correct principle of tithing and how it was done. I learned how it has been manipulated for personal gain. The Lord will hold us accountable for how we disperse what the Lord has blessed us with. It falls on us to study the word of God and know the truth.
many churches can't unite but when it comes to tithing they speak same language. why did Jesus nor the Apostles say anything about tithes. is it not in the law that the Israelites were delivered from? if the Israelites were delivered from it why put gentiles in bondage. this questions needs a mature christian to answer them. Apostle Peter said, they make merchandise of you- what was he warning us of? is this subject feeding wolves and putting children of God in bondage?
TRUTH
Preaching the law of Moses to us today. We are under Grace thank you Jesus. We give with a cheerful heart and we are happy ti guve more to the needy the widow and orphans.
But we cant separate law and grace ,grace came because of sin ,no sin no grace ,no gospel, no Jesus christ ,not mentioned in old testament but when Adam and Eve sinned God allowed them to continue though not in the initial place ,that is grace ,yes we are no longer under the law but the same Paul who says we are no longer under the law says in Rom 6 shall we sin so that grace may abound ,he says No ,the law does not save us but it points sin ,its a like mirror, mirror doesn't remove an dirty on one face but tells you where the dirty is ,same with the law ,it doesn't save us but only the blood of the lamb cleansed us ,salvation is only from Jesus christ not by keeping the law but we are judged by our works According to Rev, we cant separate old and new testament 2 Timothy 3 v16 all scripture was written by the inspiration of God for reproof, rebuke ,correct so that we are perfected for righteousness,
We used to buy cold drinks with the tithe money when the church members left and I was working with the bishop of the church. I was doing what I was told to do. LORD have mercy
😅🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅🤣🤣😅😅😅
We could not in a million years, be able to follow that!!! But this is followed in EVERY church!!! We are beat down with this!!! And its not for us today, we are under grace!! In the NT, Paul said that we should give as we have purposed in our hearts! That's why we are broke and disgusted...
No and that's why I'm not under "the law" of the tithe. Today there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. We are all saved by Paul's Gospel of Grace.
Even the Jews stopped Tithing when the Temple was torn down till today.
Please assist me to understand, i came across this Rabbi from jew he still insists they do tithe.are they misleading?
@@marykamau7266 how can they with no temple in Jerusalem
This is a True preacher Who preaches foe the love of the lord and not the money.
I give a tithe or when I can't close to it, according to Luke 6:38. Everytime I give to church, a gift to family or a friend I go by that scripture and have been so blessed.
Giving shouldn't be limited to 10%. It is according to how much you are able and willing to give. Sometimes less sometimes more. What he said tithing is not a must.
He is absolutely right, why do Christian Pastors teach the tithe today? I think they don't trust God to supply their ministry needs. OT tithes were out of the increase from God... and for feeding the poor, etc.
Oh I remember the confusion of net or gross pay.. learning to rightly divide the word of truth has set me free.. and I’m more grateful for Gods Grace..
We are not under the law but under grace! Where there is the Spirit of the Lord, there's freedom!
2 Tim: 2:15 Read this: "Study to show yourself approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY...(again Rightly) Dividing the WORD OF TRUTH!!"
You cannot cram the entire Bible to apply to everybody everywhere. You have to LEARN by studying to rightly DIVIDE the WORD of truth. Which is the Word Of God (the Bible).
Paul was chosen of God to teach Gentiles the secrets of the mystery that was before the world began. This mystery was not yet known before Paul. But NOW is made manifest. (Known).
The Tithe Dies in Acts 15.
I do not understand this constant digging up this “Dead Horse” or patching an old wineskin. The tithe is not in or required by the New Covenant we have as Christians. The Church (means “Called Out” assembly, not a building or temple) in Acts 15, this was decided by the Holy Spirit that Gentiles (that is me and all the non-Jews) are not under any of the Old Covenant. We as Christians are to support missions, by example, we are to support an elder that teaches and preaches, Remember that Paul was a tentmaker by trade and supported himself sometimes. We are to support those in need, we are to give not the 10% or the 23% of the actual OT tithe that the Jew is required to give, but to give 100% of our time, money, goods, and life. Generously and freely giving happy to give not under law or rule.
We do a lot of things out of tradition and convenience. The fans like this tactic.The church attender can check that box and move on with their life. Followers know that Jesus does not come by on Sundays to count nickels and noses. Someone will have to explain why we in America have churches on every corner and homeless in the streets, widows no one cares about, orphans without homes, sick with no caregiver and the lost stay lost while we squabble. We have leaders that fleece the flock to promote more programs and buildings to keep rich preachers and their lackeys in positions of power to lead sheep to strange practices that divide the flock.
Jesus called us to be Salt and Light, to take up a cross and follow Him. Wash feet!
If all the fans and sometimes visitors, tire kickers and " fair weather Christians" did not attend or give (and most of these don't give) could your building keep the bills paid? Keep the doors open? If so, You may be a member of a social club not a Church of the New Testament. Love your enemies, forgive them, Love your neighbors, serve them, wash the feet of your brothers and sisters. Luke 14: 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
Thank you sir..I didn't tithe perfectly and if i didn't i felt so condemned but funny enough the Lord was still providing me..I thank God I am not under the law and now I freely give willingly with my heart and man of God it does makes one angry and I thank God that I know the Christ and the Joy and Peace in His Kingdom because otherwise i would not want to set my foot in church anymore..i do go but i don't do things that are the commandments of men anymore
Straight preaching that gets your attention and straight to the point, using scriptures!
AMEN ! We are not under the law of Moses , but under the law of Grace through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ !
Which one is the law of moses
In Islam, we are suppose to donate 2.5% of our saving to help the 8 groups of people including the poor, travellers, the borrower etc.
12:45 got to me. I agree with you, After bringing the tithes to the storehouse, the storehouse was then used to replenish the people DURING hard times. Do most churches replenish their people during their hard times? No. They do the token contribution such as soup kitchens, but give their congregants a hard time if one of them is going thru hard times to help get bills paid.
367 dislikes because folks put whatever their beloved "godly" pastor above God, refuse the gospel of Christ, go about to establish their own righteousness by works,,, so sad
“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
Proverbs 31:9 KJV
Soon our Lord will separate the sheep from the goats
Ah, finally a good teaching here about tithe. I like it! The one that this guy in the video is teaching.. He who robs God is really the one teaching old testament tithing of only ten percent! ha! good one!
Paul the Apostle was a Tent maker and PAID for his travels only when he was in " JAIL " did the body of Christ tithe to HIM for those in prison PAID for meals and the Jailer his wage Amen
Freely you have received so Freely GIVE that which the lord has done in that he Freely gave his LIFE that we could tell OTHERs of his Grace that was, is still FREE, Amen
A lot of pastors will bring up Abraham and Melchizedek in that Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek a priest and that was before the law was given.
The bible says your outward man perishes in your inner man renewed daily the key word daily so I agree with the pastor your talking about .. We go from glory to glory different levels of glory ,
john mmclain
In Deut 14, it says bring the tenth and eat it yourseves and remember the levite as well. So this yearly tithe is not going into the storehouse but being eaten right there.
yes. I thank God for this. I have always had my doubts about this practice.
Why do people keep misquoting scripture by saying "we don't LIVE under the law"...? Romans 6:14 has more to it than just "you are not under law, but under grace."
It starts with "for sin shall no longer be your master...." What Paul was saying was consistent with the rest of Romans: what the law was powerless to do, in that it had no power to stop sin, GRACE DID, because the grace of God enables the believer to stop sinning.
The law is not "done away with" We now have the GRACE to OBEY it.
I am the preacher and I am not rich. I am a full-time working pastor. Our assembly does not tithe. Each person gives AS the Lord prospers them, they give cheerfully and not of necessity. I don't see what People give so cannot answer your question about poor people and what they give. Everyone must give according to the dictates of their own conscience. No one is forced or threatened or manipulated into giving like Creflo does when he fleeces his people.
Rodney Beaulieu i believe there needs to be more churches that don't demand money then thw churches will have overflow.
Rodney Beaulieu, today I was speaking to my brother in Christ about this: I received in my mail two times the request of money ; on the envelops was mentioned 20$, 50$, 100$ , or others....I was arguing with my friend, because I said that I prefer to give to the homeless, and to the poor families.. I don’ t agree to give money to a building. In any church I went is all about money....is 😞What do you think? Thank you 🙏 in advance for your answer and God bless😇🌺🙏
Yes, pastor preached Malachi and robbing God today. We already left one church where tithing was the topic every Sunday. The pastor of the church we left said he should have the most beautiful house in town and also deserved to have a lake house.
He deserved to live in a barn
Well I do understand what you are saying the percentage is not now necessary but give with a cheerful heart
The levitical tithe was never given in money
it is good to give out of love and joy
God blessed your ministry towards us, Amen
Amen Brother, Thank you for this enlightment I had been in prisoned by this teaching for the past five years. May the Lord our God forgive me also for teaching the old teaching at Mal 3:10 in a singular word and not understanding the Grace of God where I can give more than what in my heart desire to glorify Him as a cheerful giver.
AMEN-BIBLE SAYS WE ARE SEALED TILL DAY OF REDEMPTION
Its all about the money with zero accountability. We are called to support the church financially of our freewill unto God. I too was lied to for many years.
Thank GOD for you, i had read up on tithe but still this sunday we had a guest pastor and he told us about tithe & that tithing would save our lives..please pray for my church!!
2Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in this heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
I've noticed one thing. Every church pastor interprets the bible diffrently in many dogmatic areas, yet each one claims the holy spirit is on him or her to speak the truth and without error. Its funny that the holy spirit is enpowering these pastors to preach differently. It is no wonder there are so many factions of organisised christianity and 30000 to 35000 evanglical churches who prefer to be independent and not be called a protestant church.

And yet most of them, if not all, agree on the 10% tithe. I find that interesting.
George Rego That’s why I read the Textbook (the Bible) for myself and use my God given intellect to try and work out what God has to say on any given matter. The Holy Spirit will tell you what it concerns you to know. The bible says a lot about giving. It even tells us when not to give.
question when did it become money. It was about food for poor lev 27:30, duet 14:22, duet 12:32, 1tim 6:3-10, when did food become money. if God came in flesh why did he not have a mansion with jet planes. Jesus was homeless ....SAY I DONT HAVE A PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD. TOLD DECIPLES TO LEAVE EVERYTHING THE OWNED AND FOLLOW HIM.
aoneyardgal
And I will add, God promises us two things...food and clothing...the rest are blessings.

The flow of money or goods within the church should be: From the rich to the poor and needy. NOT: From the laity to the clergy. I believe that even if you are a pastor if you have more you should be the one to give to the member of the church in need that there may be an equality. In the book of Acts when the Church encountered a very difficult situation every one gave according to their will and some even sold their houses and the collections distributed to everyone according to their needs.
I am always amazed at the sovereignty of God.. that He encapsulated this book for over two thousand years for no other purpose. Your sarcasm, of course, is not lost on me either.
Hello Marcelo,
I am not fighting against anyone who has been abused by those leaders who should know better, but who are interpreting Scripture for their own gain. I am only interested in truth, and in helping believers to find it. Bless you,

How true your explanation on tithing.The new churches are forcing people to give quoting scripture to justify, And they are very good in drawing the weak the old and the helpless. But would they tell the people where the money goes. Yes the pastor needs to be provided as the levies. But not for his rich life styles and 15000 square feet mansions. His branded clothing and the super rich hotels they stay in the thousand dollar tips they give. Some don't travels on air lines cos they see the others as demons.
Excellent exegesis of scripture Love it!!!
Amen! I love this preaching.
Great teaching. Thanks a lot. Its an eye opener.
Good teaching. Yet, I still tithe because I enjoy it and want to take full part in the work of the family of God.
IF you want to tithe biblically you will tithe 23 1/3 percent. If you want to give according to Paul, you can give 20, 30, 40 even 50 percent. There is no limit on how much a person can give to the Lord today.
The Holy Spirit announced through Paul the wonderful news that Christ has freed us Christians from the yoke of bondage, which even the Patriarchs were not able to carry - referring to the law, but some people just love to be enslaved again. what's worse, they want us to go back with them.
God Loves a cheerful giver, actually though we as Christian saved by the Grace of God thru Our Lord Jesud Christ can give more that what we are to give to support His body the Church.
Amen
