- Trusting God with your money, that’s what a lot of people in Congo do. They investing their salary in God. Spending your money on the church happens a lot in African countries, and especially in Congo. A lot of people believe in God and therefore they invest all their salary in Him. Giving all your money to church is what they do to receive a lot of fortune in return. Metropolis correspondent Paul Shemisi from Kinshasa, the Capital city of Congo, is visiting Mathieu. Mathieu is a shoe cobbler and repairs the shoes of the people in his city. Although he doesn’t receive a large salary by being a street shoe repair man, he invests nearly all his money in God. For over seven years, he has given to his church. He believes that whenever you give to God with pleasure, you receive a lot of income in the future. Mathieu thus believes that giving away your money, will benefit you in the end.

This happens all over the world, especially some “Mega-churches”. God said to give money to the poor, not to rich pastors!
He's n good health and has a job so he's blessed
I felt very saddened an my heart is broken to that ordinary young man who has no idea what he's doing
Same here!
Better than greed!
This is not Burkina faso, it's congo Kinshasa
U should pray for all the people.. Not only the donator.
or go back to their original faith? look at the land it would NEVER be so filthy if they had their indigenous faith; that honors nature & they themselves was responsible.[ no middle man ]. The Big Abrahamic religions dirty up the planet because they gonna get eternity in the clouds.☁️ ⛅ so they dirty up Earth surfaces with their "just us alone" mentality. ಠ_ಠ it grieves me so.
Because before they came along 🌍Earth was pristine.
Omg god doesn’t need they money but this pastor for life without working this pastor discuss me !!!
Bless him! His money to do what he wants!
"God will reward those that give voluntarily" but still get pretty much forced to give money.
If a god would exist and he would have made the universe, what the hell would he need money for?
People are gullible and always finding patterns where there is no pattern.
chronischtelaat GOD never said give me money , get your facts straight before you speak. GOD himself said that he doesn't need our money nor our animal sacrifices because if he was hungry he wouldn't ask us for food the whole universe is his.
chronischtelaat Psalms 50;12 if I were Hungry I will not tell you , for the world is mine , and all that is in.
@@honestbabe8581 I never said anything about God asking people for money. I merely quoted something said in the video. Get your facts straight before you speak.
It's these pastors that convince people to give their money. They use religions to gain control over people and get there money, but after all, isn't that what religions were invented for?
Jesus said "give and give and give and store your treasures in heaven where it last for ever more"
Its a lie Europeans made up to get rich.
God is greater to need money from his creation
If the pastor truly uses the money to help others and improve the church then may he and his people have good fortune. If he does not, then may he suffer but may all of his people still have good fortune.
I love how the guys wearing a Buddy the Elf shirt that says ,”OMG!”4:48
This is so sad... All the money for the church.
I live in Aalst, there is a very beautiful book written by Louis Paul Boon: Daens. There is also a film about it.
I wonder if they know that money doesn't go to God.
japrogramer I wonder if you know that it’s the act of giving that counts and goes as a sacrifice to GOD and that the offering and tithes are used to organize Christians concerts , crusades , to spread the gospel of CHRIST.
@@joannegoba8171 a propaganda mill. Neat, but no thanks.
@@joannegoba8171 wake the FUCK up
@@japrogramer finally a smart person on the internet
Garbage Head Yes, it’s good to give tidings but if too money ends up for purposes (eg, a lot of them go to the pastors of the church to invest for their own affairs) then that is bad. If the Church uses the funds wisely to spread the word by doing things such as helping the poor, improve the church to ultimately build it then yes, that is the way it should go. If the church misuses the funds I would feel quite bad for him. God wouldn’t Want the church to function that way and let pastors use tidings as an excuse to give them more money, but the money from tidings should truly go to and glorify god.
I wanna this video to has laughing icon
God has a pretty much money, so dont give your money to pastor, because pastor has money from god.
Give your helping hand and your money to another peoples that needing help, that is the real investation for your heaven 😀
Sory for bad English😅😅😅
The giving of money in churches is therapeutic to the givers through the eyes of their faith. They feel good about themselves and about the God they serve even if the money might very well buy the pastor's Bentley especially in the Mega Churches. If the pastor is happy then God is happy with them too, they believe. So the people have hope for better things to come and wont have to focus on their struggles in life. Faith and spirituality is good, I acknowledge that, but there is an element of brainwashing with religion. You are brainwashed from birth and most people don't even have a chance. Truly, Religion is the opium/opiate of the people. Most people are so drugged up they never recover to grasp onto reality. But, I guess, as long as people are happy right...
Im at a lost this time,
End is near bro
Have they not read a single verse about giving to the poor?
TheWheatOne have not read a single verse about giving tithes and offering to GOD ?
Look Around You does it not like god really loves you.
I watch these different uploads and makes me laugh that everywhere I look I'm told how these are intelligent fast evolving cultural, technical people... Yet they seem to be 100 years behind the western world in concept, hygiene and finance... Tssssk.
First !
poverty have their reason
Mugging them rightly. How just.that's irony by the way
VPro Don't Be such An Atheist Channel, we know that the priest need money to for a living, building church, the priest have a family. I would say that the priest can get 10%-20% cut of the money given to the church, rest should be used for buildings, furniture, mucic instruments, electricity, and for helping the poor in need, if there's many money left, they may consider build clinic or hospital, school, or orphanage.
The people should be judge to whom they trust their money, don't mocking the church.
If the priest can't be trusted, they should find another priest and another church
This sounds reasonable. I agree.
Christianity is the longest running joke in human history.
Lies keep your money.
Oh thites we do this in the Philippines
Its all lies. God doesn't need money. Nor does it go to him.
