Wow this! God is good!

God didnt ask for a money tithe but apparently he did bless your givimg so quit feeling you owe a money tithe

Yes amen! It all belong to Him and he lets me keep the 90%!❤️

@@cherisecervantes3766 So true, and He blesses what you keep.

The most valuable currency is time. We are underpaid for it. If we were paid what it’s worth then the gap between the rich in poor wouldn’t be so great. Spending 2.4 hours in church a week is a tenth of your time.

Quit tithing and just give frerly because you dont owe a money tithe

I did not say that you will suffer if you do not tithe. This is my experience based on my convictions. You and the any one else is perfectly free to believe and do as they please. Respectfully.

Thank you for sharing !

I want to tithe but haven't found a local church I go to.. What do I do I don't want to be cursed anymore but want God blessing by tithing

@@peterc504 you can find a local charity “christian faith based” and give there, maybe. Also I don’t believe you are cursed for not giving especially if you truly desire to do it. You cal always pray about and ask God to lead where you can give. Blessings

​@@peterc504not tithing on wages will not get you cursed ,do you think God would demand your money for his free gift of salvation

You think so?

God would be doing the rest because He never commanded a money income tithe

Facts

You think so guys? I'm not in a local church so what do I do? I never tithed to see a blessing. It seems like the easiest way to see a miracle or blessing right?

Tithing is not the only commandment with a blessing attached, but there are very few commandments given where our Creator tells us "prove me now herewith" as he does in Malachi. Sometimes miracles and blessings are indistinguishable, but when the windows of heaven are opened in your life, both miracles and blessings flow.

This is so underrated. Anyone can write a check. Time and giving of yourself is so much more valuable than any monetary donations. That old person who you talk to, who is by themselves, would rather have your company than a monetary donation.

​@@hobgoblin4614very true.

Tithe was never about money

That's more valuate than $ in many cases!

How no way huh

How are you robbing God if you don't tithe? What need does God have for money?

@@PaulSullivan828 God's Church. Your local Church. God provides for you in your life. You keep 90% And Give 10%. Tithe Means Tenth.

I agree 💯. While getting off debt, still do your tithing. The Lord will open doors to get out off debt fast and your wealth will grow as well. I'm a living proof of it. 🙏 don't block your blessing.

There are many tithes though. Even paying taxes. It's not right in my opinion to "tithe" when you owe someone else money. Giving to the church should always be an offering. Jesus said always give cheerfully and an amount you've set aside each week.

@@CDTucker336 Tithing means you’re being obedient to God, so you should give without expecting anything in return. Giving encourages a grateful and generous spirit and can help steer us away from being greedy or loving money too much.

You think god would have been like "I was gonna do something good for Shandi, but she didn't give my church money, so now I'm not going to"? Or what is the logic here?

@@killingyou321 it isn’t a logic problem at that point it is a faith issue in my personal opinion. I have faith that 10% is so little in comparison to what I have received. I don’t always give my tithe to the church (also a personal preference).

@@shandilayne but your reply is one of logical causal effects. Your statement is that the 10% you give, is less (logical statement) than what you receive because of it (wouldn't have happened without). Do you think god would not have blessed you, had you not given a tenth of your income? And as such, it would be a payment for possible services, and if you're not tithing then god won't bless you in the same way. It just seems a little strange when you examine the logic behind it, but to be honest, religious people are not those who i expect to exacerbate the most logical thinking

​@@killingyou321in curious of this as well.. I've never tithed but I've heard of people that have and things have happened that are obviously God. Like one guy tithed and didn't have enough for bills and somehow someone else paid his bills.. Lol this would honestly scare me haha. I feel if I tithed nothing would happen and I'd have to feel it was a lie.. Maybe one day

How he bless ya

And you’re right , it is .

It's for the Church to have and keep the church open.

I also wanted a professing christian to address this. Not a mega cburch psstor who has bills.

True that. Per Wikipedia, "Osteen's net worth was variably reported to be $40 million and $60 million in 2017.[29][30] He lives with his family in a 17,000 square-foot mansion in River Oaks, with an estimated value of $10.5 million.[31] Osteen says that as senior pastor, he draws no salary from the church, which has an annual budget of $70 million,[32] and that he instead relies on income from book sales.[33]"

😂 smh

If someone told you to stop paying your taxes and filing your tax return would you do it? Giving is not Tithing. For a long time i did not get this till it was explained like this “ I borrowed your car and I don’t return it. And on your birthday I ‘give’ it to you as a gift-it’s not a gift because it already belongs you so no kudos for me. That is the tithe-God gave you health and a working mind to be able to make $ 10¢ of every $1 belongs to Him and anything above that is actually giving because the 90 is yours 😇

In 2 Corinthians 8:11-13, it states to give what you have and not what you don't have. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, it states “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver”. The keyword is "compulsion". God does not curse people and loves the non-giver just as much as he loves the giver. IMO, you should give what you can afford that way you don't feel compelled to give. Giving to the church is not the only way to give to God. Your time is money.

@@GUYIN96706 definitely don’t “give” grudgingly or under compulsion, it’s the heart posture that God sees. But tithing is not the same as “giving” if that makes sense. The Tithe is what already belongs to God, we can’t “give” Him what already is His. The “giving” that the church in Corinth prepared was not Lords Tithe but a gift to the ministry fund and those that were being helped. Anything above the 10% is overflow aka giving because 90% is what you you own and therefore can give from the 90% “Give to Caesar what is Caesars and give to God what is Gods” The Tithe is the Lords It’s a trust issue with most Christians that are bothered by the Tithe. They spend more on groceries and entertainment than the Tithe and tip their servers more and don’t bat an eye. Once Holy Spirit brings you to the revelation of the 90% and the 10% you realize you will have 110% in your account and don’t know where it came from. 💯

Firstly understand that there is no biblical tithe. Therefore you give what ever you feel comfortable giving and a figure that you can be cheerful while doing so. Everything you mentioned is how things operate in the natural, but with God, it is all supernatural. This bear that in mind when giving.

​@GUYIN96706 When people hear tithe we instantly think of money because the church says money. They don't explain that tithe can also be in different forms....

Tithes were never income or money

But God isnt wanti ng your mammon

Malachi is the next book I am about to start! Oh how God works always amazes me. First I come across this video, and it’s subject has been weighing on my mind, then I read your comment, and look it up right away. Thank you for sharing!

Even before the church, the law of Moses tithingg was a part of sacrifice

Bible says 10 percent and the 3rd years you supposed to keep it for windows and orphans in your family.

​@@user-sz3fd6el1dYes. Give what exactly? What is a tithe according to the Bible exactly? Tithing was a requirement for the nation of Israel. Not for us today. Giving yes, tithing no. Giving is voluntary, tithing is obligatory. God loves a cheerful giver. Please share one scripture mandating Christians tithe.

Sort of. Although tithe is to the chruch if God puts in on your heart to give that money to someone in need than that's okay. 🙂😊

@@girltalkwithtia2425 can you show me where it says to tithe to the church anywhere in Bible?

@@droptozro It's in Malachi 3:10, niv: "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. The storehouse is referring to the church

@@girltalkwithtia2425 that's a command to the religious leadership and its food to be given to Levites and poor since they had no land and leadership was running the government system and sacrifices of God's Torah. Normally that tithe happened once or twice a year depending on the harvest and it's actually not exactly 10%. If you had 18 new goats born--you count 1 out of each 10 goats to give for example. Well, you only got 18.. So 1.8 goats? Not really. So 1 goat was given. The storehouse is not the church either... That's not even the same word as the assembly. Are you also under the Torah? Just curious because most Christians reject the Torah except for a handful of laws. I dont believe that text in Malachi has anything to do with a modern 10% giving of income to your local church unless you import your definition of "tithe" into that text. Could you try reading the Torah commands about tithing?

@@droptozro That's quite interesting. I haven't read the Torah. I thought the Torah was only for Jewish people. I'll defend look into it.

I've heard it has to be gross. Bc you have to give your first. If you give net then you've not given your first to God but to your bills government or wherever.. I've heard it's a test of faith bc you gave your first now you need to rely on God to provide enough with what you have left

Neither one is owed there is no money income tithe

If you think your pastor is squandering your tithed money - you need to find a different church. Find one where your money is being used for good and a pastor who is striving to live in a manner that you can support.

@@arthrodea Can't argue with that. How transparent are churches though?

If the pastor squanders your tithe it shouldn't prevent God blessing.. You did your part by tithing so if God doesn't bless you then his word is a lie

@@peterc504 People who tithe get cancer and die. Explain.

@@peterc504 Can't explain that one can you.

You don't know what the Bible says about tithing!!

Then why did he give it to me in the first place? God needs money?

@@Turbo.M777 Exactly. I would rather volunteer my time. It’s what employers pay us for even though we are under paid for it. Meanwhile people who understand how important time is charge a huge amount per hour. Lawyers charging thousands per hour without blinking an eye understand that you don’t get time back and time is needed in order for us to better ourselves. The longer we are spending our time working a job, the less time we have to grow with hopes of finding something better. It’s called the rat race for a reason.

Actually God doesnt care a thing about your worthless mammon

That issimply y not true
