- Are Christians required to tithe? If we don't tithe, is God angry with us? On the other hand, if we choose to tithe, does that equate to an automatic financial blessing? Is tithing taught in the New Testament? Was the principle of tithing established before the Old Testament law was given by Moses? These and many other questions related to tithing and giving are answered in this video. Enjoy!

FIRST! Just kidding! So, many people have asked questions about this idea of tithing? I did a video on this a few years ago but wanted to approach it from a different perspective since many people are very confused about whether or not they should or should not tithe. Let me know if you have any further questions that you want to ask on this topic below! I hope everyone is safe and social distancing to minimize the spread of this virus. Blessings family,
THE BEAT by Allen Parr I tithe regularly but sometimes I don’t tithe, but for some reason I feel bad and guilty that I’m robbing God, so I appreciate this lesson and u speak truth and with enlightenment💯💯 what about first fruit, can u please do a lesson on that as well.
Were did this thing on ten percent of your income come from when it not in the Bible
Brother Allen please can u give us a lesson about fasting thank you God bless you
Hello Allan:
Questions for a video topic ...
1) How and when did the name "Jerusalem" come into usage?
2) What reliable sources are available on this topic?
3) What are the Biblical and non-Scriptural implications?
Thanks. Amen
catina claytor The catholic faith maybe. I also heard that tithing is not always monetary. But giving as a whole. Serving and helping others. But I may be wrong on that
If we "give" in order to get back, that is NOT "Giving" -- it is trying to manipulate God into giving to us. Real giving is done out of love and generosity -- NOT out of greed. Also the law of sowing and reaping applies to a LOT more than finances. For example, if we are merciful, then we will receive mercy. If we help people, then God will send us help when we need it. etc.
but you still must pay 10% tithe
@@DavidKing-qd3sp No sir. Your assertion isn't biblically supported.
@Maria You are so right as I just posted the same thing. Whenever I give I never expect anything in return. Oftentimes, I give anonymously because I don’t want the person to think it’s me that’s giving but rather Jesus. I’m but merely the vessel he is using.
Allen Parr - presumes to be a bible teacher ---he is ignorant of doctrine----I doubt he has any formal education - not that that is the sole requirement but education means you should know a few things...but Allen is a follower of other men's thoughts...and he is wrong on major points of scripture....what a joke that anybody can assume to teach the deeper things of scripture....Paul and Moses were highly educated
Maria do you follow Jim Baker (wealth with God)? It sounds familiar.
This is one of the reasons why a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is important.
Amen 💕
2 Corinthians 9:7
a relationship with God is impossible without Jesus the Son of God.
this is unrelated but i need help, I pray the same thing every single morning and night and i know i’m not supposed to but if i don’t i feel if i do not do it i feel guilty and i feel guilty even if i prounounce a word wrong and do not go back and re due the whole thing and i jsut need help
hi, do you pray the Lord's prayer? God's will be done in earth as it is in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
i don’t even know i’m sorry
God love a cheerful giver. Not the amount but the heart
Amen, you give out of love, not out of guilt or to get because everything belongs to God anyway. We are just stewards to what He provides us with.
if God loves the heart alone why did he stipulate 10 %
My wife and I started tithing when we got married. We found we can’t out give God! After 48 years of marriage, we are Blessed far more than we can think or imagine!🙏
Stop it , you are doing it wrong . You are giving it to who ? Do we still have the levitical Priesthood today ? . Stop being used . God bless you not because of tithing and the tithing was not money and it was for you to eat . You eat your own tithing not your pastor . The Israelites eat their tithes it was a sign to fear your Lord . Today you don't eat it yourself, you give it to your pastor. Why?it's not about the farm produce why .
Give offering according to your wish that is not called tithes my friend . If you put a percentage on your gift then it's wrong . In the new testament time we help or give willingly and we call the process the offerings .
I used to tithe and I would see that I was never broke. then , I stopped tithing to the church and guess what I am so broke even though now I am making triple the amount that I am making now. I will start tithing again!
Brother Herbert you are so RIGHT!!! Thank you!!
Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shell be added unto you. Paul didn't teach tithing. Boast not in money but boast more on your spiritual blessings by seeking God first.
@@0U81TO they don't know it's wrong to practice old testament while you are in New . By doing that you are undermining the Grace of the Lord . You are actually saying Jesus died for nothing . They think they are being nice not knowing they are going straight to the lake of fire .
As long as you are giving someone your thithe you are saying he is your Jesus . We have the only one Priesthood today, the meldezeck Priesthood kind, the one who live forever he can not be changed Jesus is the priest .the only intermediator between God and the people .
Giving thith ,is saying Moses is Grater than Jesus .
Giving thith or practising any law of the old testament is like shooting yourself on the foot . You excludes yourself from the Grace .
People are ignorent and I wonder why can't they read the Bible .they don't know Jesus is the Name of the father not the Son. They don't know who is Jesus they think the son is Jesus not knowing Jesus is God the Father .
Who is the judge ?... The Son
Who created everything we see .?.... The Son
This world is a project for the God's Son, he also known as Amen .on the judgment day you will know his true Name .. he will be the lion to those who are not written on the book of Life . He will judge those who are paying the pastors, those who are under false doctrines like this one .
Why are you paying thith ? Are you the Sons of israel ?. Even the isralites are not doing it today . That was the instruction given to Levi . He was allowed by the law of Moses to take thith from his relatives only . Not from the gentiles .
All these laws was given to Moses by angels not by God . They were acting as the shadow of good things to come . Jesus is here stop following his shadow . follow Jesus not his shadow .
Wake up . Repent!
“Give cheerfully and not under compulsion...we should always give with a heart of gratitude and in worship to the Lord God

Amen. I give it to say, thank you GOD for what you have bless me with.
Agree. I won’t stop tithing and I give freely and cheerfully
I've been studying this recently. I was taught so wrong consistently growing up and in adulthood. This is why you need to study the word for yourself as well. Thanks Pastor Allen.
That part! 👌🏾🙂
@@Virtuous1Queen yeeeesssss!!!! 100%
As a child I gave even when I didn't have any I though that it went to heaven so I cheerfully gave and I was taught wrong so that turned into me feeling obligated even though I didn't have any to give myself into my adulthood. Now I know that is wrong when I study the word for myself.
it always feels good when someone justifies our sinful behavior = you must pay tithe..10%
I love this! It's a very good teaching on tithing.
I was saved as an adult. Soon after that I learned about tithing. The church I went to taught that tithing was what God asked of us, but nothing was ever said about the curse. They didn't teach "tithe or else." It was "tithe because God wants you to." It was years before I knew there was any controversy about it. But I did start tithing, and I'm very glad I did. For years, I felt I was laying up treasure in Heaven. God's blessings are not always financial. As I grew in my faith, I came to realize that tithing should not be done in a legalistic way. It should be done voluntarily. But I still tithe, and I think it's a good starting point on how much to give. God didn't rain down money from Heaven for me. He taught me the right way to handle money. He taught me the difference between wants and needs. He taught me how to live without credit. I'm so much better off financially, and it's a good thing. I became disabled, and my income went down to a little more than half of what I made when I was working. Now that I handle my money God's way, I'm better off financially than I ever was when I worked. I know that tithing started off a real learning experience for me, and I highly recommend it.
your heart is in the right place.. the teaching is off a little,, keep reading and study. .God will give you the right answer. that being said tithing is not money and God love a cheerful giver [not just money,,] they had a money system in the old testament as well as in the new testament. {they pay temple tax OT.] [MATT23:23 no mention of money} God does not want your money, God wants your heart?
why do you still hang onto the old law? Are you not respecting what Jesus has done on the cross for you? All old laws are nailed to the cross, refer to Col 2:14, preferably you read the whole chapter of col 2. If you choose to do the law, you might do all of the law which is a curse for all. I rather be in grace and give offerings as my heart decides.

Whatever The Holy Spirit tells me to give I give it and with a cheerful heart.
Great God bless you.
Thank you for this! I also give through the Holy Spirit and with a cheerful heart.
The holy spirit speaks through God's word so he does not need to speak to you each time about tithing - it is 10% - don't be a fanatic......God does not rewrite the bible for everybody each month - or give them an abundant amount of emotional goose bumps...sorry...tithe is 10 % beyond that it is up to you what you do with your offerings
First of all test your spirit 1john4:2
Amen ! :)
God loves a cheerful giver :) 2 Corinthians 9:7
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
I went to a church and I was hurting financially. Then. Pastor comes up and says….some people can take out of my retirement to tithe. Aaah, no bc im not even old enough to withdraw $$$. Then another says, well your suffering financially bc you don’t give. I walked out…I was so upset. Mega church getting more $$ while I’m struggling. 🌸. God knows where I’m at and how I want to give. Thank you for your clarification pastor 💗
tithe is 10% whether you like it or not and we all struggle with it read the bible . not Allen Parr
@@DavidKing-qd3sp Did you not also know that God commanded only Levites to receive tithings for they do not have their own inheritance/land/etc. Anyone else (Israeli or foreigner) who tries to receive tithes or even approaches the temple is to bear sin and die. So, where are the Levites now? Now the temple is gone, we are the temple instead. Jesus lives in every believer. We are encouraged to give to the poor and needy, that's where we should give offerings to those who need it more than we do. The interesting thing about the old testament tithings, the bible says people who grow fruits/food, so on (land owners) are required to tithe. So it appears that people who aren't land owners aren't required to tithe (tithe = food).
So lets say if we ought to tithe, we'll have to grow food/fruits and give to church, yeah?
1st cor. 9:14 says to pay tithe
Oh thank God for this man and his works now I understand that, giving to God must come from deep down of the giver's heart and should be done willingly.
Finally someone bold enough to teach the TRUTH!!!!
Check out Andrew Farley. Par and Farley complement each other very well.
Thank you Jesus for a clear and biblical teaching on giving. We needed this teaching 50 years ago!
Amen❤
Amen
I feel like 10% is way too small to give to God. He gave us LIFE for goodness sake.
He gives us power to work and even earn the money we want to keep away from him. Its just funny... we could be sick and unable to make money but God blesses us with good health and opportunities. 10 percent is nothing REALLY!
Oh my gosh, I was literally reading this passage last night and was asking the Lord what it meant!!! The Lord always listens!
I've had the same experience, occasionally. And I usually don't know whether to view it as a mere coincidence... However, there have been the rare times when it seemed too far fetched to chalk up to being mere coincidence.

Hey Allen, I feel so much peace hearing this video, thank you for this because I have struggled with for many years of trying to understanding Tithing. Thank You so much. - Andy.
When the pastor arrives at church in his BMW and owns his detached home mortgage free and says to the church to give a bit more because they’ve almost got the church mortgage paid out, and he’s taking money from single moms who live in an apartment and take the bus to church and hoping for that miracle, you know it’s just a business to them.
How do you know that ,that single mom does not get blessed for that? Expand your thinking
Tithing is a condition of the heart. Until you personally understand who God is to you, you will realize how small 10% really is.
Some stingy and wicked pastors are the ones feeding fat on tithes .
Exactly. Members walk/ catch the bus.. While the Pastors. Living a rich life style.. If the pastors have a car.. He should make sure everyone in the church have a car/ house just like them.. I am absolutely not giving to pastors ect. Many poor folks who can use the money / food/clothes ect.. They spending $1,000 on shoes/ $10,000 suits/ 👗. Purses ect.
I love to give.
I love to help
And if I’m low on funds or sick and can’t give or help, I’m thankful when someone gives and helps me.
I just left a church called Victory Outreach that promoted this kinda teaching,while the founder flys around in a private jet and owns beach houses,thank you for teaching truth!!!
You give your tithes if it is being mismanage it will be on those who mismanage it and if you thing your pastor is not putting it in the right place then give it to organizations that are using it to reach more people and tell them about christ and help those who are in need of help
Tithes are seeds.
@@annedecker6721 Churches aren't the only places who need our generosity. Modern day churches aren't storehouses as in the old testament. The billions of dollars given to churches every year is often used to pay down elaborate mortgages and pay full-time staff, neither of which are necessary to run a gospel focused effective church. There are many needy people in our cities, neighborhoods, families, etc. who could use some of that tithe money more than a particular church.
My brother I'm from south Africa. ..Cape Town and I'm currently in a church victory outreach and I'm really struggling with there teaching such as this i confronted the leaders and ask questions but don't get answers
Thé Victory Outreach church is a GOLDDIGER - church they live money more than People
They don't love Prophets of GOD because thé Prophets GOD sees all thé evil in Victory Outreach church
Proverbs 15:3 , 15:11 thé heart of a lot of pastors and evangelist in Victory Outreach church is very evil in GODS EYES a lot Will burn in Hell money Manipulation in thé Victory Outreach church !!
I have bin there years ago they love money more than People that is evil
I would rather give to the poor/less fortunate. I believe that is what touches God's heart.
It is better to give .and not expecting in return.God loves a cheerful giver
I have always had a fear of not having enough. I started to tithe because I wanted to literally put my trust in Him. I have found that even though I tithe, I have always had enough. It helps me to depend on God for everything. I have had many blessings since I started to tithe. The least of the blessings was a substantial pay increase. The greatest was my marriage. My wife and I were separated for almost a year. I had gotten to a place where I wasn't trying to "fix things" in the flesh, and put it in God's hands. I hadn't spoken to my wife in about 4 months and one day without any of my doing my wife reached out to me and said she still loved me. Talk about blessings! God is good! He is faithful! He always keeps His word! Hallelujah!
Amen.
Amen brother !

Give from your heart as God has given to you, if it’s 10%, less or more. Relationship is the key. Read and study is so important.🙏
Praying that the pastors from my former church see this video. Many left the church because tithing is always her preaching to the new believers
… and first fruit
We should be seeking Holy Spirit in all things including our giving. He knows if the washing machine will break down and He may say give less than 10% because He knows your financial situation better than us sometimes. We live in the moment and God knows all things. He may say at times give 20% or more. Just seek Him and obey. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Stay safe family 👍🏼
Amen
Amen hallelujah glory to God stay bless...
I agree. Give from your heart as the spirit directs.
When it comes to the tithe the Holy Spirit will never tell you to give less than 10%. It does not matter one bit what your financial situation is you paying the tithe is honoring God and proving to Him and yourself that He is more important to you than your financial situation and that He is your source.
That blessing that God promised in Malachi is the answer to your financial situation.
@@lilchristuten7568 wrong the Scriptures NT don't agree with your sayings. Plus we are not the 11 tribes of Israel supporting the levites
Love is the ONLY reason to give. Without Love, what else is there?
I just love your videos, thank you! I was once a part of a church that made its leaders feel bad for paying their own personal financial responsibilities instead of going without to give money to the church. I stepped down and left not long after that. I love that God honors our heart to give. God bless your ministry!
Jesus has blessed me tremendously whether I give or do not give so I
give what I want to give.
I went through a period of time, where the Lord wouldn't allow me to tithe.
I know it sounds strange and it was strange to me. I reminded God of this Scripture. To be honest, I was afraid because of this Scripture.....
I went through this for a year. What the Lord showed me was that I was tithing out of obligation and not because I loved Him.
It had become very common placed. Like paying a bill. I asked God to forgive me for not giving from my ❤.
I give to God because I 💘 Him now. I loved Him then but I had gotten too comfortable and was taking my relationship with Him for granted but I thank Him for that experience.....
Yolanda Hines is true that happened to me too
@@zakia514 loom
@@zakia514 that's what's up.....
This happened to me, as well. I was told by The HOLY SPIRIT to give to my Mother / SIster, whom were suffering financially. Putting other peoples' needs BEFORE your own is truly giving with love, and is the best way to give !! However, I love to give To The LORD because of what JESUS CHRIST did for us, on The CROSS !!
I have been tithing since I was 17 yrs and I love to tithe and offerings I’m now 68 and still tithing God has never left me without I’m blessed blessed I give my first fruits of how I’m blessed tomato - tomato!!!

@@MrJbee73
Amen..
very well said brother. 😊 and when it come to giving,it is not only about money but also giving out time to our LORD God, serving him with all our hearts and soul.
I know this was form a year ago, but wow this spoke to me in the very season I am in! Lately I have felt so much guilt for not wanting to tithe because we are so poor not that I didn’t want to tithe but im not giving with a joyful heart I’m giving with a scared heart and I felt like if I didn’t tithe that God would be mad, or think that I didn’t trust him to provide. Which isn’t true because I trust him more than anything. The guilt has been eating me alive, to the point where I’ve been physically sick, I’ve tithed and cried my eyes out as I did it knowing we needed that money so badly, and I said God your nature isn’t to make me feel guilty but I’m scared if I don’t tithe you will think I don’t trust me and you won’t provide. It’s been in my head that without tithing he won’t protect me which I know is the enemy provoking fear. This has left me with so much peace because the guilt has been so bad so thank you!
Love you Paul never tells one person to tithe and there is not 1 vers that any saved gentiles tithed Mal 3.8-11 was never quoted or preached 1 time and the tithe was food items and never money so be free to give what you want i want to leave you with this Romans 8:1 New Living Translation
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
I agree 100%. Giving is a relationship you yourself have with the father. I know a lot of religious leaders don’t like teaching like this, but it’s the truth. Thanks for going against the religious grain.
In actuality, if Pastors DON'T Preach about offerings and tithings, they are actually ROBBING people of being supernatural financial and physical Blessings !!
They don't teach it because it's like a sure income! They dwell on it to survive. Rather than keep working like Paul!
Tithing is, to me, part the my ongoing, living relationship and trust with God. Some pastors teach that, as soon as you receive a portion of income, you are to separate out the tithe (exactly 10%).
I am more comfortable with calculating/projecting what my total income for the month will be and proportioning it across the Sundays of that month.
Some people now give to their church over the internet, but I still like the physical practice of dropping a check (or cash) into the offering basket at the appropriate time each Sunday.
If my practice is missing some important aspect of relationship with God, I am willing to hear other viewpoints.
I love to give and base it on my belief that "my God supplies all my needs according to His great riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Other insights concerning this are welcome.
@@lucrecepatrick9234
The work that Paul did was preaching and teaching the gospel.
The pastor only preaches "God loves a cheerful giver" and "Sowing sparingly and reaping sparingly" but nothing about giving according to what is decided in your heart not reluctantly or under compulsion. 2 Cor 9:7
@bloochoo no, its money matters i read the whole chapter
laya0563 l said this in church years ago and was shunned from that day on. If any member dare question tithing they will be ostracized and basically asked to leave.
Vikki Carr I was at a church where the pastor from the pulpit told a brother sitting in the church pew to leave because he was not tithing he called him a crook and said he was robbing God and that he was going to hell my wife and I got up and left the church, hustler pastors whose interest is your money and not the salvation of your soul, not all pastors are hustlers some love the souls more than 💰
This is VERY true !!! Give as The HOLY SPIRIT Leads you !!
@@vikkicarr3255 How did you do it? Please elaborate. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for teaching truth. I have been tithing all my life with the wrong understanding. So much bondage and manipulation has been placed over the body of Christ. This actually gives me the freedom to give unto the Lord with a generous heart instead of out of gilt
Great
My Dad and I used to watch Robert Morris on tv together. I liked him so much I got some DVD’S from him. I took them over to a friends house to watch. The one in question was preached right as they were finishing a huge upgrade to their building. When it came time for the offering, he told his congregation, and all us dopes who bought his teachings, if we didn’t tithe it opened up a gateway for demonic activity in our lives! My girlfriend and I looked at each other and both of us reached for the remote at the same time. Next day, I was telling my Dad. He said you need to show me because I like this guy. I put the DVD in, he heard if for himself, and we never watched Robert Morris again. The DVD’S went in the garbage where they belonged.
About to share this video on Facebook where all my friends and family believe "give 10% or you're cursed" lol. Prayers appreciated.

Malachi is not for Christians
Christianity started from Acts of Apostles and none of the Apostles asked Christians to pay tithes.. Read Malachi 1 :1to see if Malachi is talking about Christians or Israel, and also tell me if Pastors are Levites.. Can you please stop this tithing scam!!! and teach about salvation of the soul, and ask people to give from their hearts
2nd Corinthians 8 :1-onwards..and 2nd Corinthians 9:7 respectively..besides Malachi 3:8-11..is talking to priest study your facts well..
Shalom..
God never gave us a spirit of fear! This is why I have struggled with the idea of a pastor using Malachi to guilt people into tithing. Give with a cheerful heart or keep it! Thank you Allen.
People its important that we study the dispensations time periods, places and the people that walked with God. Pray and talk to God while at it. Stop being brainwashed by churches! Get to know God for yourself! This man of God is speaking wisdom. He refers back to the dispensations time frames and the men that walked with God.
Great teaching. I just had this conversation with a few people the other day. One of which actually tried to use the Malachi Chapter. I have been saying this for a while now. Thank you for the confirmation through Christ who has used you. We have to get into a habit of learning and understanding the Bible and its context. Our opinions and feelings do not matter when it comes to scripture. The truth is the truth.
Thanks for your video Allen I love how personal you are!
I definitely think that we should tithe today but I think it should come from a spirit of Thanksgiving and gratitude not fear
It's the inner motive of the heart that matters.
God loves a cheerful giver. Everything we have belongs to God. That being said. Tithe were taken to storehouse not Church. Storehouse were places where people would take their produce and Cattle for the tribe of Levi and needy to come and get food. It was done after 3 years. The tribe of Levi was not allowed to own land that is why they received tithe from other 11 tribes of Israel.....th-cam.com/video/Otf3Dm5QX-E/w-d-xo.html
Let them work like everyone else ..... I give to pay for church repairs and utilities..... and feed the unfortunates .
❤️
Tithe means tenth. It's a formula, a law. God wrote the law on our hearts. Tithing isn't biblical. Giving is. If we are listening to the spirit, He may tell you to give MORE than ten percent, or to give to someone directly instead of to the church. That's why we have to give how the spirit directs us, not a predetermined percentage out of each check.
This brother is absolutely correct. I have studied this topic over and over again and I have found that the church was never instructed to pay tithes. The church was told to give according to how God has bless you and to do it from your heart. Brothers and sisters free yourselves from the erroneous teaching on tithing.
regarding the offering people were told to give as God has blessed you - but regarding the tithe it was - mandatory 10%.......so you all may want to believe a lie but it's a lie...Allen Parr will account for his influence for error

Brother, I've been battling with this for soooooo long!!!! Your lesson definitely is a eye opener! Keep doing what you are doing!
I struggle with this also. Financial hardship has always been an issue for my family. Tithing has always been painful. I hate the mind game of “if I don’t tithe, I’m displeasing God and not trusting in Him”. I give cheerfully when someone I know is struggling and I can give them an amount that is not restricted or expected.

Tithing was hard at first, and I gave only a dollar. Over the years, my attitude has changed as I begin to realize how much God has given me.
What I hate about churches still using the concept of tithing is that when people don’t get the financial blessing they were promised “by God” or I should say by whoever speaking on behalf of God, people end up blaming God or being discouraged.
That is a very good point!! I grew up in churches that teach tithing, which I agreed with. But, now I'm not sure what I believe about tithing.
That makes perfect sense
Reaianna Haley believe in the Bible. Brother Allan already laid this out for us in the video. ❤️
@@reaiannahaley7752 I grew up in a church that always said scripture will a man rob God every Sunday when it was time to give. The tithers would walk into a line and the pastor would put blessing oil on the tithers forhead. Of course nobody want to rob God. I went to visit a church yrs ago and I heard a Pastor say that if you don't tithe you're going to hell because theives don't enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
@@laninaclay6276 Wow that's harsh!! Jesus!! I think that is taking advantage of Good people.
This is so on point and needed. It’s a matter of what’s in our heart as New Testament Believers. What’s in our heart as it relates to giving, will determine how/if we give. If we look for loopholes not to give, we won’t. Those who are generous in giving, understand that we are invited to participate, yes, even financially, to advance the kingdom of God. That means that our financial gifts- whatever amount we have decided to give- in our hearts..we realize that others will be blessed as a result.

Please share. Thanks!
To be honest inspite of what you said you are robbing God if you don't tithe and nothing is wrong with giving a tenth and more but you saying that you won't be cursed for not giving is like saying what is written is false because there are people who used to tithe and have stopped because they don't have much to give but at end of the day is anything wrong with giving what little you have than not giving at all ,I don't believe that because it was in the old testament it doesn't apply to Christians today so it is what it is ,my sister hasn't tithed in years and it seems she believes you don't have to which I believe is very sad because so she's faced with these circumstances late pay late rent and loan of thousands of dollars,I haven't tithed in a while as well it's my desire to inspite of what little I earn and intend to soon but I believe for each time I receive and don't give back to God it's recorded by angels in heaven it's this simple if after hearing souls go to hell for robbing God and there a special section for this sin then it means you are cursed for not giving and it's not a one time thing it's continually
I love to tithes to God! Through my church, I've been tithing since I was 14 years old. It has become a relationship and a consistent commitment to God for me. Through faith I believe that he has kept me and my family through some rough times. However he decides to bless us through our giving I accept it. This was a good video with scripture to back it up. You make me think Bro. Allen. God bless.
I feel the same. There is nothing wrong with tithing but we must understand that it is not an obligation and we can certainly give more as well.
I am so happy that I found you this morning. You cleared up a few issues that I've wondered about, also figured out myself on some of the people that you mentioned. Thank you and may Gods riches blessing be yours.
Determine in your heart what you will give and give it cheerfully for God loves a cheerful giver. No tithe mentioned.

Almost 15 years ago I came into this knowledge that tithing was not a New Testament commandment. When I tried to tell others about it they would get angry at me as though I had lost my mind. I’m glad to see that God’s truth is shining through the darkness of religion and tradition. You are doing a great job Allen!

The problem with many people that try to inform other that tithing in not a New Testament obligation is that they try and make people that are tithing think they are doing something wrong. There is nothing wrong with tithing you can even give more just do it knowing that it is not a requirement.
God warns about adding to his word. Paul didn't teach tithing. Old Testament tithing wasn't givien in the form of money...so how did money come along in the form of tithing now? All about greed in todays Churches. If someone wants to even give more, give it in the form of an offering. I say this with Love ✨
If you look up what the tithe consisted of, you will see that the tithe never involved money, it was always livestock or produce.
Riiiiiiight...
Edible.
money was not generally accepted as the measure of exchange.
@@antonyndunda7080 where does it say that?
@@bidzam we're talking about thousands of years ago brother. Their tithe was of the crops and animals they grew. But be mindful, it's not the physical things, but the principle.
GOD has set principles in His kingdom and upon the earth, it's up to us to live by them and experience the victory in all areas of life.
Read Job 38:33
Also, Hebrews 5:6-10; Hebrews 6:20; Hebrews 7:1-21: "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek"; and Hebrews 8:1
That's in reference to JESUS, who appeared to Abraham and Abraham paid Him tithes of all He had. Melchizedec is in fact JESUS and not an earthly king, whose name means "Righteous King" and its says in genesis 14 that He was the King of Salem. Salem meaning peace. King of peace
Prince of peace...
I hope you see it.
Thank you so much sir. Now, the prosperity preachers would wish people wouldn't watch this video lol.
It would be bad for business...
The only prospering God promises us is for our soul to prosper.
Tithing was a Old Testament law for Israel. The New Testament model of giving ,under grace, is what you purpose in your heart, to give. Okay to tithe if you wish, or give less or more. It is between you, and God.
Brother, you are a tremendous blessing.... thank you for your simple and teachable way of understanding scripture.... God bless and keep on doing what you do for the Lord, Amen !!!
I understand why there might be controversy about tithing because it seems as if many times the most prosperous person financially in the church is the pastor himself and they appear to be more focused on building a more beautiful and elaborate church building instead of building the spiritual lives of those who are already faithful attending. I have personally experienced this on more than one occasion and it has affected my thinking concerning tithing. I understand that we are giving as unto the Lord but I believe that we should be led by the Holy Spirit and not be under conviction regardless of what we decide to do.
I believe we should bless those God used to bring forth the word to bless us, and be willing to give towards a cause that we can see what the churches are doing for the community. But I don't believe that we are obligated to pay tithes, or any specific amount. Those who are blessed with financial wealth can afford to give 10,20 or 30 percent more, but that's their choice but not an obligation from God. I think we have too many faithful tithe givers, but still unfaithful to God, by not giving Him their hearts. People only give more money because they expect to receive more money in return. They don't want obedience to God by changing their lives.
This Corona virus is going to star showing some pastor's true hearts once those tithes start to decrease.
Keith Rogers you should give out of your resources and do it cheerfully and not out of compulsion . If you excuse giving because of poverty, when you get more you will never feel you have enough, so I would encourage you to give however small

Thank you for teaching this!! God began teaching me on this 2 years ago and I appreciate your dissection on this. God desires for us to give and to give cheerfully never expecting anything in return from man. It's not a matter of the law, it's a matter of the heart! It's not about giving money to a building, it's about giving time money, ministry, service to God on all areas, from people we don't know to those we do know. That's what giving to God means. He put us here to be a blessing and that, in belief, is tithing. Thank you again Sir!!!
Lashaunda Diaz
Well said. I know there are people who will let their family go hungry in order pay tithes at church. Yet the Bible says, everyone gave to one another so no one went without. We shouldn’t neglect church (the people) so we can give to a building. We are commanded to take care of the poor, not tithe.
@@hisgraceissufficientforme9705 AMEN!
AMEN! When I first started FREEWILL Giving, I always seen exactly The amount I gave come back to me. Then I started tithing out of fear and false teaching, and it never came back to me for the years I tithed. God showed me my misconception about tithing. I prayed about it to make sure it was HIM. Then when I began to Freewill give again, I see it come back the same like before. That's GOD. He is faithful to His Word. None of this man made tradition. I'm thankful God showed me this.

Thank you Alan!!!! I carry so much guilt because oftentimes I literally can't give financially....
But I give other things with a cheerful heart..
Thank you for this clarification
This month has been the month where I have tithed the most in my life. Let me start by saying that I was an AFWUL steward of Gods money that he blessed me with to manage. I spent more than I had and reached for things that were not mine to have yet. I bought i house and my money began to dwindle. I couldn’t do anything with my money because there was barely anything to manage as it was all essentially being managed for me. Not to mention I continued living outside of my means. I was not making any tithes and offerings. One thing I like about that Malachi verse is the testing part. So I wanted to trust him more and repent for the mismanaging of his money. So I sold my home and broke those shackles with Gods Grace. Mind you I sold it amidst this Covid 19 pandemic. I went from tithing a few bucks to tighting $100 throughout this process. And when the house was sold and I was liberated I wanted to freely give my 10th because of what God did for me. He deserves it and moreover the people who have worked the church that has been a place of such growth for me do need to get paid. And Paul speaks about this too. It also keeps my greed in check. And my main focus is not to expect a blessing in return, but to have a changed and renewed heart for Jesus and his kingdom. Although I will say that the sale of the house was one thing but the return from the sale was more than I could ask for. I went as far as tithing not just my check but even from that increase too. I no longer want to be shackled by my financial decisions and I want to be a good steward of this resource he grants me.
Be encouraged. Keep trusting God in all things. I'm on that same path and grateful for yielding.
Amen brother! I have nothing but blessings as a result of being a fateful tither for years now and God has been providing SO MUCH every since I became fateful. I have my own business and tithing has sustained us. I have to say I disagree with this video. I like most of Allan's stuff but can't agree with this. The Lord will sustain you. Quit wasting 10% on Starbucks, going out to eat, dumb purchases and there is the 10% that you could give to God who provides ALL things.
@@joshwilson3774 I think it's the condition of our heart that is more important. If you listen carefully on what he said, he even encourages us to give even beyond the 10%.
But, I would also say that I saw God's protection and provision in our family because we made the choice to be a good steward of the treasures that God has given us.
@@Nnyleenoh
Well there are a few things to that.
First the tithe (the 10%) is mandatory, however it should not be paid begrudgingly because the purpose of the tithe is to honor God and mark Him as your source.
Offering are free will gifts that work as seeds for more blessings.
Allen says that God will not curse you if you don't pay the tithe, but God didn't say that He would, He said that they are cursed because they didn't pay the tithe, the curse exists because of sin, refusing to tithe is a sin, so when you refuse to pay the tithe you are sinning and you are opening the door and giving access to the curse to work in your life.
Also God did in fact make the tithe mandatory for Christians.
Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me? Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin, he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Matthew 22:17-21 NLT
Amen
You do an excellent job of teaching us a lot of questions that people have that most preachers don’t ever answer for us.
Thanks brother Allen, I felt Delivered and the heavy burdens of guilt for “not giving my tithes” came up off of me after watching this video. Thank you so much man… 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watch DLM Christian Life Styles he explains too, more in depth check him out he's very anointed.
Great stuff brother Allen.... Thank you for doing the hard yard of gathering all possible informations from the word of God to make this subject clear and practical as well. GB
In giving we learn sharing and concern for others, asides from “its more blessed to give than to receive”, it is a blessing in itself to see the blessing of the increase that God’s work will abound more in this world that desperately needs God’s assurance of His love.
Hi Allen,
I have been exploring this topic for a while for my own understanding and to date, nobody I’ve listened to has touched upon what I see as glaringly obviously. Malachi 2 starts with:-
“And now, you priests, this warning is for you. If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty…
So the context of the whole message in Malachi 3:5 is saying to the priests
“So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.
It THEN continues in Malachi 3:6-10
“I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty. “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse -your whole nation-because you are robbing me. 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.”
When I read this, is it not an accusation that it is the priests who have robbed God by withholding a portion of the tithe which they have collected? It’s does not say that the whole nation is under a curse because THEY are robbing me, it says because YOU, i.e. the priests are robbing me.
I was especially troubled by one message I heard that suggested that even those on government benefits should give 10% when in my opinion, those vulnerable individuals are the ones in need of receiving FROM the tithe.
Reaping blessings as a result of giving is one thing; preaching blessings as the motivation for giving, is appealing to humanity’s sinful nature and greed which surely goes against what God intended?
Tom
Hi Tom. You are correct. Malachi 1:6 and 2:1 specifically addresses the Levitical Priests. That focus isn't changed in Malachi 3. And I appreciate your final sentence: "Reaping blessings as a result of giving is one thing; preaching blessings as the motivation for giving, is appealing to humanity’s sinful nature and greed which surely goes against what God intended." Very well said. Blessings in your giving!
Spot on Tom and as Mark B stated if you read the whole of Malachi you would clearly see that the book is written to the Levitical priest, it’s a shame how that one chapter and a few verse’s have been used to fleece the people out of their hard earned money. I could go into greater detail if anyone would like but for now I just pray that everyone reading the comments would really go a study Malachi for themselves.
Yes I only knew the entire chapter of the book of Malachi this January 2021....so see how much the pastors dont preach their portion. My Goodness
So you have convinced yourself to believe a lie --you must pay tithe - that is how ministers receive a salary and offerings support the building and missions.....the heart is deceitfully wicked
We are all part of the Royal priesthood according to
1st Peter 2:9..but in a new covenant of giving as we have purposed in our heart..
Thank you s-o-o-o much for clarifying the issue of tithing; your presentation is Scripturally substantiated. May Abba Father continue His blessings to you, your family and ministry. I pray that Abba Father will financially enable me to bless your ministry. Amen!!!
I’ve been talking about this for a few months now. Even posted something on Facebook about tithing and especially about this chapter that people tend to misinterpret. Rubbed some the wrong way, but the word cuts both ways. It doesn’t care about your feelings and opinions. Thank you for confirming God’s teaching and word.
I believe that people should be lead to give what’s on their heart, and not be manipulated to give. If we have faith in God like we say we do we should trust that he will provide for the needs of the church and for our house.Giving should be done out of our relationship with the Lord when being lead by the Holy Spirit! You’re spot on with this video! Bless you!
Many years ago we were going through a really tough period when I lost my job and we couldn’t tithe. At the end of the period God blessed us so much. Our church used this saying we’d recite about all the things we’d receive as a result of our tithing, like gifts, inheritances, raises, checks in the mail, found money, etc. It was a long list of things and at the end we’d say,”it’s giving time!” Well after a period of not tithing and the trial we went through, the Lord blessed us. Actually He blessed us through the trial because we never missed a bill payment and He provided all of our needs. My husband and I looked at the list and realized we had been blessed in all of the ways listed in the recited phrase. We were scratching our heads wondering why we were blessed so much even though we hadn’t tithed for that period. It went contrary to what the church was saying. Anyway, after coming out of our financial slump we became regular tithers.
I don’t believe we are commanded to tithe, just give with a cheerful heart. My eyes were open about this when my childhood associate pastor said we were to give Jesus a birthday gift of 100 per person in the family. I remember I thought about a single mom who was there with her 4 kids and was STRUGGLING with no help. I was around 17/18 years old and was so broken for her. They gave a deadline around Christmas and said if we didn’t give we didn’t love God,etc. i went home that day closed my room door and cried out to God about it. The heaviness did not leave until I was done.
The next time I went to church, I remember raising my hand because the asst. pastor said does any one have questions. Many were afraid to ask any, but I asked, Why do we need to give God our money when everything belongs to him. He doesn’t need our money. He wants our hearts more than money He wants our lives more than money.” I also asked “how are you going to give Him the money?” It was something they couldn’t explain and than others started asking questions and it was cut off.
I went to another church after I left there and they had this big revival and separated people the speaker said those who can give $100 over here $50 here and those who can’t give more then $5 here. It was very heartbreaking. I was righteously angry about this. Why. There was a mother who had moved there who lost EVERYTHING in hurricane Katrina, she was trying to provide and they wouldn’t even help her out with bills and that woman was faith to them.
I remember I started studying a lot about tithing and if we go off of just 10% we are forever robbing God. That scripture was use to manipulate.
Love you so grateful for your compassion for others look Paul never tells 1 person to tithe ,,Mal 3 8-11 is never quoted or preached 1 time your free to give with a cheerful heart what ever amount you decide now that's freedom
God Loves a Cheerful giver
When we read the Word of God we must read with understanding. God was speaking to the Levi not the other tribes. The Levi were suppose to use the tithes and take care of the widows, etc. there were not doing so. That why God asked them can a man rob God. We are not under the old covenant. We have a better covenant thus we should Give has God lay it on our hearts. We are not bind to that one-tenth.
u r wrong
What am I wrong about
the 10 % Tithe was used to support the Priests - today Tithe supports the Ministers or Pastors of a church - it was never used otherwise for anything ---BUT there was a Tithe taken I believe every 3 years that was used for other purposes but it was a different Tithe...and we are all as Christians considered as Priests so if the Priest of the past payed Tithe so should we..1st Peter 2. 9..it is very easy to deceive oneself to not pay Tithe...so study more deeply into it...Don't follow Allen he knows little about the bible unless you know less he may look like scholar ....but he wrong on many many points of interpretation...don't let the blind lead you.....the common thread on these site is ignorance...everybody has an interpretation form their imagination
I am not desputing the what your saying yes the priest was getting the ten percent but they were not using it appropriate ly. They were not using the best of what the people have to them for scarifice. They were giving less than the best to God (something that cain did). They were not using the special tithes (,the one you said that was collected every three years) to take care of the window, motherless and father less. This why he asked them can a man Rob God. Now these pastors are using against us when it came to offering time. It is so funny that most churches today do not use scripture from the old testament besides Malachi when they are collecting the offering. Jesus became the High Priest we don't have to pay tithes anymore. Who in the new COVENANT paid tithes
@@martishawillis8888 1st Cor. 9: 14 states those who preach the Gospel must live off the Gospel...Ministry is full time work - the ministers need to get a salary from the congregation...the 10 % we give belongs to them and they can do with it as they please...just as you do when you get your salary...but if you want to beleive a lie I cannot help you...as Issac paid Ttihe in the loins of Abraham and and we are Abrahams seed according to Gal. 3. 28-9 we must still pay tithe and Dr. Walter Martin supports my view....offerings were taken up by the congregation to care for other needs like in Acts 2 with offerings for the Famine that hit Judea...so you must pay tithe
Before I wasn't convinced this kind of giving, because when I was a young christian I taught to give my tithes . But the more I read the Bible thanks to God, the more I realize. When we go back to Acts we will see how they give. Even Paul as a teachers of the law didn't command the gentiles to tithes.
Give voluntarily
Give generously
Give sacrificially
Give with Joy in your heart

Sulum Oseya You are believing that this man’s misguided interpretations of scripture are God’s actual truth, even though this man has been wrong in just about every video that he has posted. You fail to understand that you should be seeking your knowledge of scripture directly from Jesus Himself. Every believer has the right to learn God’s truth directly from Jesus, you just simply need to possess the wisdom and knowledge of how to test the Spirits as instructed in 1 John 4. If you possessed this wisdom then you would have plainly known how he is simply a false teacher who is being guided by the devil.
“It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.”
John 6:45 NKJV
“These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”
I John 2:26-27 NKJV
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
I John 4:1-6 NKJV
Stopped tithing. Stopped going to a “church” building. Started giving more. Started studying and reading the Bible. Have grown closer to God.
You may have a wrong idea of church, I know your probably hurt or don't like the idea of tithe or maybe something that was wrong in the church you went to, but just becasie that or two churches were like that (not following The Word correctly) doesn't mean that all churches are like that. Church (as a community) is important, because it's the place we're you interact with other beleiveres, we're you learn about God and we're you get led by the pastor who is also a help (someone who has obtained the gift of pastoring from God, He wouldn't create that gift for nothing right? He gave it to people so they may teach others and help them get closer to Him, basically a pastor, who is also a human and can do many errors like anyone else) . Now how do you find the right church that doesn't teach wrong ideologies? You are the one who has to take that conclusion, where you feel the presence of God, stay there, that's the place that's gonna help you. And remember, God tells us: not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.
Hebrews 10:25 AMP . So here He is telling us to not stop meeting with other believers for the purpose of worshiping Him and learning about Him so we may get closer to Him. Also because we need someone who has studied the Word and knows how to read it, interpret it, AND teach it. Because pastors help in dividing the Word of God so we can understand it better but ourselves alone are unable to do so, we need leader, for everything, specially someone who can lead us closer to understanding God and His love. So I hope you think about it and decide to search for a church :)
@@melanieangelmontoya4460 Thank you for sharing. I believe that you are coming from a sincere place.
I am not against the Church fellowshipping at a building or home weekly.
There are ministries that I enjoy that have wonderful biblical teaching. I don’t have “church hurt” but I am saddened by the deception and how those of us that profess to be followers of Jesus Christ choose to follow the Pastor closer than they follow the Lord. I have been extremely blessed at every church that I have attended. I left the “church” building because I wanted more. It is not for everyone but it is my walk.
Just because someone doesn’t go to a building every week does not mean that they do not fellowship with other followers of Jesus Christ. Some of us go to a building every week and still don’t fellowship. Just listen to a speaker and leave.
I do not discourage anyone from going to a building every week.
I was taught about not tithing and the history of tithing at a church building, by a Pastor. I do believe in supporting the ministry that is “feeding” you.
It is important for us to study God’s Word for ourselves and not rely solely on the Pastor to teach us. Some teach wrong things. God gives wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment. God is our source.
We can go to a church building everyday and still not know Him and still be in bondage.
There is a ministry that I would attend every Sunday if it was located in my area. I refuse to go to a building just to say I go to a building.
This comment will be wayyyy to long if I fully expressed lol but I would be happy to talk to you. Feel free to reach out to me - meawisufnl@@t
1corinthians 11:1 Paul a pastor,evangelist and an apostle said..Follow me as i follow christ. At one time We need these men of God who we should emulate and help us understand things of the spirit.And when we mature we can ask the holy spirit to guide and review our missions.
Amen.
God loves a cheerful giver. Let the Holy Spirit guide you
Probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen anyone make regarding tithing 🙌🏾 thank you Sir
Love you brother. All your teachings are not only clear but Biblical. Thankful for your ministry here on YT. God bless and shalom!
Some believe that because it's not in the New Testament that it's their way to not thithe. I believe it's a problem of the heart. Why we think it's ok to blow riddiculous amount of money in meaningless stuff and then will not support the church that is extending there resources to have snacks for the kids during servive and events for the entire family/feeding the hungry, supporting the missionaries, paying for the utilitie..etc.
I hear you sis, just because I don't tithe does not mean I'm not honoring God with my finances.
Biblical tithing was never about money. It was food & grain for the Levites.
And yes the church needs money but we give from the heart, not out of compulsion.
I don't even buy stuff for myself.
Rent and gas cost enough as it is..
One Pastor said everyone had to give $50.00 for his Anniversary. I’m no longer attending that crappy church.
Since blessing others, I am more blessed than I ever was, being broke as a joke in church! I no longer tithe to any church .
Thank you for sharing this. This is very freeing. Thanks be to the Lord for redeeming us from the curse of the Law!!
You have cleared it up for me. Thank you Jesus for this message!!
Be blessed brother because I'm really blessed by this channel I have just discover today!
I thank God I've got the answer of this question cause I was in dilemma for so long and I stopped tithing. God bless you man of God.
I used to tithe before the pandemic and throughout it. I wasn’t making much but still managed to be able to tithe, but right now with the economy and my finances still being the same, I haven’t had much to continue tithing. As much as in my heart I want to continue, I can’t. God regardless has been continuously blessing me in so many ways, but I tithed in other ways. I play drums and sing, I continue to obey God and continued to grow my relationship with him. It showed me that tithing doesn’t always have to be money, it can be simply just being faithful to God and just continue to putting him first. I’m not using my financial situation as an excuse at all and like I’ve said, I’ve been wanting to give tithing but haven’t been able to as much as I want to. I’ve been praying to God to show me that I’m doing the right thing and that he’s not angry at me and so far, I’ve just been at peace and working hard to get myself out of debt since I’m a student. I’ve been trying to reassure my pastors though that my blessings aren’t going to be lost just because I’m not tithing and to not put conditions on God because God will always have unconditional love for his children but will still expect me to show that I’m faithful to him. I hope this goes to show that what your true intentions that you have, God will see that and give you what he sees fit.
Love you you were never commanded to tithe did you know that Paul peter never tells i saved person to tithe ???or 1 new convert not1 gentils paid tithes no record they did that got saved did you know when all the pastors preached turn to Mal 3;8-11 that they preached this more Then Jesus .paul /peter ??? Mal 3.8-11 was never quoted 1 time or preached 1 time in the new testament Jesus Paul Peter never tells 1 person they are robbing God not 1 beggar not 1 sick person was told they were robbing Gods did you know???? money was not a tithe item Read Leviticus 27 .30-32 and it will tell you what the tithe from. the gentiles which you are was never told to tithe not 1 time the truth os the Gospel be free in Jesus name
Man I love this guy he is such a blessing to every question I need to know about I thank God for letting me find him
Where is my reply
I don't go along with what you said I believe you're wrong careful what you teach because the TV ask for money and so do you guys for people to watch your video so you can stay on stick to spreading the word the true word if God's a giver and so should we be
Where's my other replies
I was once told that there are other ways to give to the Lord besides things with monetary value. Not everyone has money to spare and they would still like to give back to God and the body as a token for their appreciation and thankfulness. For example, you can volunteer your time to help those in need, help out at your church, etc. Your time is also valuable and it speaks volumes depending on how you spend it, especially if it is to further the kingdom🙂 At the end of the day God knows our intentions and our hearts so don't fret.
Hi Sharon. I Backslide a few years back, then folks tell me once Saved always Saved, so...what does Backslide mean I ask myself. Church folks are confusing with their Doctrines, opinions, rules etc.
When I first accepted God in 2011. I was a Culinary Student, then a temporary employee. I didn't have Tithe to give and That Recession almost made me Homeless. I cleaned the Church, served Pastor & did all I could to Please God! I didn't have it but I felt Guilty, uncomfortable! If God had my Soul that was all I could give him! Now I'm full-time, Graduate make more Money, I back slid!
I hate that it happened, but Confusion in Church I'm not the one that feels this way. Be Blessed.
@@timothybright7064 I know some people will unintentionally make one feel as if they NEED to tithe/give, but I personally feel that is not something you should force on someone. If they feel they want to give or God puts it in their hearts to do so, then that is their decision to act on it. I don't like it when people make me or others feel uncomfortable or even ashamed as if they are obligated to give anybody anything when that is never the case, it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth to be quite frank. We can't hold everyone to the same standard of giving when we are all at different financial places in life. I always go back to the idea that if I am in the financial situation to give, I will because that's just how I am, if I can't, that's just the reality of that moment in time. Sometimes we are put in situations where we are on the receiving end of things and that's okay too! That of course doesn't mean that I don't tithe, I do so when I can otherwise, I will give in other forms such as donating for example. I try not to worry though because I am a firm believer that not only will God provide enough to sustain but for me to share as well!😁
This is truth. I tithed many years ago and was no more blessed than I am today. I know many people who tithe strictly and are almost broke or are barely getting by. The reason is this. FEAR. If you are doubtful about giving that extra amount or that 10% then you are already in fear and not faith and the word says to give ‘nothing doubting’ ‘whatever is of fear is not faith’ however if you give cheerfully your$20 or your $50 or $100 what God has purposed in your heart then expect a blessing! It’s all about the heart. Occasionally I feel prompted to give large amounts of money and that is what God has purposed me to give. But if I am coerced into giving 10% by any pastor or minister I am not in faith. Better not to give. Give cheerfully.
thanks for this video, I was in a church such as this, where they use that particular scripture to put fear in the lives of believers. I am a cheerful giver and I don't feel condemned. God bless you
I am still in a church where they use this particular Malachi verse to make people feel guilty for not tithing. May God open their blindness.
