Oh my God! Pastor Alph you are truly a Man of God...so much years ago this word was preached and my heart is still being blessed. I was weighed in the balance and found wanting.
I thank u daddy for this teaching I never tithe but due to this inspiring message I taking an action to tithe. May the Lord use u even more though I watch on the phone I still crab it. Remember to pray for my deliverance and every angle of my life and the easy way to me you daddy.
I agree with you Pst. Alph Lukau. Tithe is one of the most misunderstood subject in the Bible, yet it is well taught in the Scriptures. We need to understand why we do what we do as taught in the Bible. Thank you pastor.
its most understood because All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes of Israel he separated the levites for the priesthood, the levites were given no land, so that the other tribes had to give a tenth of what they had to the levites. this makes sense and is logical. after all its Gods laws. In the new testament we don't have priest and levites.(christ is our high priest) and these preachers have property! also the ratio or people to priest was 11 to 1 so that tithes was logical , but today its 500 to 1 that's why those preachers are millionaires .
That is very true, We need to honour GOD in tithes. He BLESS us so much,How we can thank him .Is by paying our Tithes and thank Him for everything he as done for us. Tithe is the key of every blessings. Thanks pastor for your words.
He is lying and deceiving you. God doesn't want and not interested in your tithe, seed, first fruit, etc. If you want to honour God with your resource help the poor around you and watch God move towards blessing you. Read Acts 10:1-4.
Mmmm thank you Lord.....am touched and exactly wat you said is wat happened to me. After receiving my salary I bought a fone and realised it does have mouthpiece problem.....I went back and they gave me another one brand new and they tested it was fine now here comes the problem again wen am home....now am listening to this video God is talking to me thru this Man Of God wooooooooow.

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND TRUE, IS BETTER TO TRY GODS PLANS AND HIS WAYS THAN TO SUFFER WITH THE SOLUTION ON HAND. THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR LOVING WORD OF ADVICE, AND FORGIVENESS FROM OUR UNFAITHFULNESS, AMEN
I am a tither... I understand it's an old covenant law however, there are principals in this law which I believe is applicable to anyone who practice them. This appears to be the don't eat pork argument! To those who don't believe, don't tithe. But as for me and my house, if we error it will be on the side of caution! Trusting God, great lesson!!!
I believe in tithe because our father tithe in everything he got when he went to war with 318 of his servants agaiñst 4 kings Lord was with him and gave him victory we see he tithe to melchisedek and he blessed Abraham by giving bread and wine .wherever we are getting fed with the word of God we have to offer ourtithes and offerings.giving to God no thinking of percentage because our God almighty how big is his Love towards us.praise the Lord I love Ralph Lukau in Christ God bless from India Bangalore.
Dr. X, well I am NOT a tither and very proud to say it! All these wealthy white people and other races who do not believe in tithing and they are still rich! Let's just say that you have drank the kool-aid and you are brain washed! You need to be delivert!
Pastor alph Jamaica needs a visit from you a lot of things are happening here it needs a spritual man like u to intervene ,I also need your proyer over me and my family in all areas of our lives, thank u pastor may God bless you always please please please pastor in Jesus name

how come God don't "send " these preachers to countries that the currency is low, like Jamaica. how come God ""sends" these people to the place where the big bucks are ?
All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant.

In acts 6 the early church had a problem and that problem was that some of the people were not getting food daily. in the modern church they have a problem! and that problem is that the pastor is not getting enough money daily wow! how things have changed!
In fact, he's feeding u something that is expired 2000 years ago. Luke 16:6 The Law of Moses was our tour guide until the ministry of John. Romans 10:4 says Jesus is the End of the Law. Do not be deceived my friend for when Jesus died, our sins were nailed to the cross and we are free from every bond. Now anyone who who believes will live. And if u think blessings come from tithe, what about Mathew 5:3-11 ?
Back up to Malachi 3:7. Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? God is calling for a RETURN to His Ordinances. Verse 8 Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. reveals that God is specifically speaking of the ordinances of tithes and offerings. So, what are the ordinances of tithes? 1. That God's tithe is to be agricultural crops, flocks, and herds. Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. Leviticus 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 2. That God's tithe is to be given to the bloodline descendants of Levi. Numbers 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 3. That the children of Israel are not to tithe to the House of God. Numbers 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. The children of Israel were to tithe to the Levites. The Levites, in turn, were to take a tithe of the tithe to the House of God. Nehemiah 10:37 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. Nehemiah 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. The Ordinance of tithing reveals that Malachi could not have been speaking of a monetary tithe. Nor could he have been telling the congregation to tithe to the House of God. Malachi would not have told people to return to the Ordinances in 3:7 and then immediately told them to transgress the Ordinances in 3:10. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The congregation tithing to the House of God is transgressing the Law...it is sin. The congregation tithing money is transgressing the Law...it is sin. Stop teaching people to transgress the Law.
It's quite unfortunate that many preachers have been emphasis on tithing for their personal gain more than the gospel of salvation which Jesus Christ commanded us to give.
Thank you for your teaching papa I'm watching you on You Tube eatch day I love the way you teaching the word of God be blessed and stay bless pray for me and my family we follow you here in Namibia Okahandja
Hallelujah pastor.am blessed with the message on tithe.I will never play about tithe God being my helper.I want to go with God from glory to glory. Pastor am praying everyday to visit you in south Africa one day.I want to see you face to face because you are helele.God should anoint you more and more
I decided to tithe 11 0/0 instead of the ten. Four days later I saw the hand of the Lord in my life. Men struggle to tithe but the enemy make sure we give to him n take it without asking us. N more than the ten percent. God is faithful
Okay, I am 5 min into this. Tithing is not a command for us for NT believers. Malachi 3 is used to steal from Gods children. This was addressed to the Levitical priests and the Israelites. The tithes was not money it was produce taken to a literal storehouse for food for the Levitacal priests. When Christ died on the cross, He fulfilled the requirements of the Law and made the mandatory 10 percent tithe obsolete. Read the Word instead of man. Numbers 18:21-32 Cheers from Australia
Vigilant G , Amen!!! Greetings to you all in Australia, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!! AMEN!!! Halle-lu-jah!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!! For it is written for all to know!!!! AMEN!!! For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 KJV bible.com/bible/1/2co.9.1-15.KJV NO COMMANDMENT TO "TITHE" AMEN!!! LET HOLY GOD BE EVER, EVER, EVER SO TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR, WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE, GREAT IN AGE OR SMALL IN AGE!!! AMEN!!! IT...IS...ALL...SO!!! AMEN!!!
yes it is not a Law to tithe but if you are desperate for what tithe carries you have to tithe I have seen it working for me,many who oppose tithe are broke and miserable.
Godwin Chengula , Greetings to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!! So all the worldly people are broke and miserable??? What evidence can you produce showing what you receive is because of tithing??? So then it is no longer the grace of Holy God???????? His written promise of supplying all the needs of His people is not enough????? So there is no rest to you from this promise???? Many like the lies of giving to Holy God which the scriptures strongly rebukes!!!! Yes we are to give which is better than receiving but to witchcraft the minds of people by wresting the Holy scriptures is a very, very dangerous thing if not for some, even, shall end up being deadly!!! This is what the warning is about!!! It is a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of the living Holy God!!! Going along with all those who wrest the Holy scriptures is not good, refusing to seek the truth which the Spirit speaks to all those that has an ear to hear, but rather on this thread making their boast in how they agree with a man that can die!!! Not at all particularly pointing to Mr. Lukal, but he is being willfully ignorant of the speaking of the Spirit of truth concerning this matter!!! If so many of you have this truth so confidently and are so anointed and called of Holy God, go forth in your own ministry and control your own monies!!! AMEN!!! Do one really believe Holy God cares if one agreed with liars, scammers, or those in error??? Do one really believe that it shall stop His judgement up on all such as these??? Though such ignorance many are still in poverty and living in a shack maybe, while the rich are enjoying all the spoils of riches. The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear He came to serve and not to be served!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!! But make no mistake I am not fooled neither is the Lord Jesus Christ, the reason many of you agree and are willing to go along with the lies is because, if you were in his place, you too would do the same!!!! Oh yes!!! It...is...all...so!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!!
Florence Murwira, be careful what you ask, if The Lord wanted to open your eyes to the fact that "tithing" is not for the "New Testament Church," you may find yourself completely without money. Then how will you pay your tithes? You Pastor is deceiving you people and he is being deceived Look up "ROBERT BREAKER/ Is tithing for today." He's on you tube.
You ware going to wait forever then! Tithe has nothing to do with you, read your Bible. It was a welfare system to help the Levites. 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

I believe tithe is not necessarily a gift to the pastor. It is a gift to the poor. The pastors will never be managers of tithe and it is not even there in the bible that pastors shall be managers of tithe. The word of God is very clear when it says give to the needy so that you yourself can be blessed. The word of god encourages us to love and give. There is no mention of the pastors being beneficiaries of the tithe, but the poor and the needy. I always give to the needy as I come across them everyday. I have seen people giving tithe to the pastors who then flee and disappear with monies and chase their dreams. The pastors of today, the so called prophets of black magic have ravaged our families and communities in the name of Jesus. So tithe has become the number one scripture for the unscrupulous priests and pastors who prey on innocent people. I challenge all Christians to be careful and avoid putting their monies into the devil's pockets, but instead make sure that you reach out yourself as a true Christians into your communities and put your monies where it is mostly needed.
Go back to your Bible and read it. Your ignorance will cause you to perish. When you join a church, ask God to reveal to you who the Pastor is. He will show you. If you serve in a church that is Spirit led, PAY your tithe. Leave the servant of God to serve His Master. If he eats tge tithe, that is not your business. His Master will deal with him. Not you. You have fulfilled your part and that is obedience to God.
The Lord ask for first fruit, but if u do not bring the first fruit you bring the money instead. I have found churches today do not accept first fruit but want the money instead. If as us said it is used to take care of the poor but yet there are poor in the church who are not taken care of and many ignore this. I have a problem with that. Because if I am the poor, fatherless, abandonned and I come tp the church abd made to feel that if I dont give a certain amount I will not receive then I will never be a cheerful giver. I will resent that forced giving. What about Gods mercy and His grace? We are not saved by our works but by His Mercy and Grace. If I am in a position where I can give money sobeit. But if I am not in a position to give and you emotionally blackmailme to giving and then my children starve whilst I hope for someone to give me back what I just paid in tithe its nonsensical. My life has not changed, povertyy has not left but yet I pay over and over. Seriously? What about the tithe of the tithe? No one talks about that. THe house that collects the tithe must also pay a tothe of the tithe...the question is who is that paid to? So if someone can answer this in an intelligent way I would love to hear because Im pretty dissatisfied with churches today
In acts 6 the early church had a problem and that problem was that some of the people were not getting food daily. in the modern church they have a problem! and that problem is that the pastor is not getting enough money daily wow! how things have changed!
@@nakadduagnes6990 Go and help the poor ones around you madam. Gullible fellow keep sleeping you think the so called tithe is working for you? You have been deceived. There is dignity in labour and money is the reward for value. Not the nonsense tithe.
I believe in being a cheerful giver. We know the church needs money to operate. We should give bountifully. Now when it comes to tithes, that's produce. The storehouse was like a warehouse were food and meat was stored to feed the poor, homeless, widower, and less fortunate. There's different tithes, but all have to do with eating your tithe before the Lord. Malachi 3:10 says, that there might be meat (food) in my house. God didn't ask for money, which they had in those days, he wanted to make sure his people ate. Another tithe was brought to a certain location predestined by God, and they would eat there before God. Tithe was only changed to money, when some felt the journey was far, they would redeem the tithe and once they reached the destination, use the money to purchase produce, food, meat, oil and wine. In Deuternomy 14:26 included strong drink to be consumed before God. Do your own research on tithe.
Certainly the church doesn't need money to operate. If we say that God is the head of the church, then why does he need our money to move his church. We say he's a big God, a rich God, a God that provides, and so forth. So what's the point of him being the head and leader? It's so sad that we say that he's our father, yet we finance his church. U and I both know that a father provides for his family, and so does God to his!! Anyways my friend, the Queens family in England doesn't pay taxes coz they are members of the royal family. On the contrary, the citizens do pay taxes. It's up to u whether you are a member of the family or ur a citizen ☺. Please don't confuse yourself. Read Luke 16 : 16 Hebrew 8 : 7 - 13 Luke 10 : 21 - 24 Galatians 1 : 6 - 16 Galatians 2 : 16 - 21 Galatians 3 : 1 - 29 Galatians 4 : 21 - 31 Galatians 5 : 1 - 5 Galatians 5 : 6 - 11 Galatians 5 : 14 Galatians 5 : 18 Galatians 5 : 22 - 25 Galatians 6 : 13 - 17 Colossians 2 : 2 - 5 Colossians 2 : 15 - 17 Colossians 2 : 18 - 23 Roma 10 : 4 Roma 10 : 5 - 13 Roma 10 : 17 - 21
All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes of Israel he separated the levites for the priesthood, the levites were given no land, so that the other tribes had to give a tenth of what they had to the levites. this makes sense and is logical. after all its Gods laws. In the new testament we don't have priest and levites.(christ is our high priest) and these preachers have property! also the ratio or people to priest was 11 to 1 so that tithes was logical , but today its 500 to 1 that's why those preachers are millionaires .
Read your bible he is lying and deceiving you for his own personal gain. God doesn't want your tithe, seed, first fruit, etc. God is honoured when you willingly and cheerfully help the poor around you.Read Matt.25:31-46. Read Acts 10:1-4. Gullible christians should wake up and start reading their bible. Bible is the guideline to every Christian not pastors.

To those who want hear the undiluted truth of the new testament doctrine. Tithing under new testament has been abolished. Infact it's a sin for a Christian to pay tithe, first fruit, seed, etc. Jesus Christ is the end to every mosaic law. Rom.10:4. What we are commended to do in the new testament on giving is to willingly and cheerfully help the poor around us.Read Matt.25:31-46. Even Angel of God testified about the importance of helping the poor around us. Read Acts 10:1-4. Gullible christians should wake up and start reading their bibles God doesn't want and not interested in your tithe, seed, first fruit, etc. It's a waste of time, go give your one tenth to the poor around you and watch God move towards blessing you. God is honored when you willingly and cheerfully help the poor around you. Let those who want to hear the truth hear. Any pastor teaching you to pay tithe, sow seed, first fruit etc is lying and deceiving you. This is the simple truth. Bible is the guideline to every Christian not pastors.
The Word of God is eternal. Unchangeable. Tithing is NOT ONLY applicable in the OT. It is also TRUE in the NT. JESUS did not nullify the Law but He fulfilled the Law. If you do not want to pay your tithes its up to your kind of faith and level of obedience to the WORD OF GOD. But i believe Ptr Alph Lukau's teachings. He is a man of God. His doctrine is sound and scriptural.
In acts 6 the early church had a problem and that problem was that some of the people were not getting food daily. in the modern church they have a problem! and that problem is that the pastor is not getting enough money daily wow! how things have changed!
Awesome message pastor Alph lukau Lord help us to be obedient to your command Lord touch my and husband to obey your word on tithing in jesus name amen

TITHES (A Tenth of Everything) IS FOR THE PRIESTS The case of Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood. Hebrews 7 Tithing preceded the law because even Abraham gave tithe to Melchizedek: For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham. But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. Note that Abraham's tithe, (an example of Grace not Law - which came from Moses) was free will and not out of compulsion, but that under Moses was a law and compulsory. Moreover, Abraham paid this tithe only ones outside the Law, just like Christ has once and for all fulfilled all the requirements of the Law for all who are in Him. The tithes and first fruits belonged to God, and he assigned the Levites (Priests) to receive them on his behalf under the LAW (Numbers 18:12-13, 21, 24). They could keep 90 percent of what they were given, but had to give 10 percent as an offering (verses 26-32). Tithing was done in the days of Hezekiah (2 Chr. 31:5-6), Nehemiah (Nehemiah 10:35-39; 12:44) and Jesus though not by Him or His disciples (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). In Malachi’s day, tithing was required (Malachi 3:8-10), and physical blessings were promised for obedience, just as physical blessings were promised for obedience to the old covenant. Tithing in the new covenant Now let us consider whether tithing is required in the new covenant. Tithing is mentioned only three or four times in the New Testament. Jesus acknowledged that the Pharisees were very careful about tithing (Luke 18:12), and he said that they should not leave it undone, because they are under the law since Christ had not yet died and the era of grace not yet begun (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). neither has the New Covenant yet established because it began after the death of Christ. So, at the time Jesus made this statement, it Old Covenant and it's laws was still in place and the era of Grace not yet began. Tithing, like other old covenant rules and rituals, was a law at the time Jesus spoke. Jesus criticized the Pharisees not for tithing, but for treating tithing as more important than mercy, love, justice and faithfulness. In Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, by calling them hypocrites who only keep some of the law (i.e. Tithing) and neglected others. In order words, they must keep all the laws if they must be justified by the law. Two other similar Old Covenant law that became no longer a requirement were 1. People who was healed from Leprosy most go to the Priest and make an offering for their cleansing. So in recognition of this Law of Moses that no longer applies today, Jesus asked the man healed in Luke 5:14 to go and make this offering as commanded by Moses. 2. Also Circumcision, about which Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7:18-19 as follows: "Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what matters. Those that observe the law of tithing should observe the rest of the laws of Moses. DECEIT - (Occurs when one is concealing or misrepresenting the truth) All I have mentioned so far till this point are all the wonderful arguments employed by most Pentecostal pastors and church leaders to misrepresent the truth and support their practice of collecting tithe. But have we wondered why neither Jesus nor any of his disciples practice the act of tithe collection, order than them mentioning it as a recognized practice within the former priestly order. WHO IS THE PRIEST OF THE NEW COVENANT? The only other New Testament mention of tithing is in Hebrews. The fact that Abraham was blessed by and gave tithes to Melchizedek illustrates the superiority of Melchizedek or Jesus Christ over the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 7:1-10). The passage then goes on to note that “when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also” (verse 12). That is, the law accompanying the Levitical priesthood must change to the new covenant of Grace accompanying the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. There was a change of the priesthood from the Levites to Jesus Christ, and this implies a change in the law that assigned the Levites to be priests. How much has been changed? Hebrews says that the old covenant is obsolete. In other words the package of laws that commanded tithes to be given to the Levites is obsolete. THE MAIN DUTY OF A PRIEST IS TO BE THE GO BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THEIR GOD, TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR THEIR SINS, INTERCEDE AND UPHOLD THEM AND PRESENT THEM BLAMELESS BEFORE THEIR GOD. The only one that can and is in a position to do this for us is only Jesus Christ. No pastor can achieve this, neither is it their duty to. We have but only one high priest - Jesus Christ. The Levitical priests could not accomplish this, hence a change was needed. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY AND CORRECT THE NOTION THAT PASTOR’S ARE PRIEST. Pastors, reverends, any other ordained minister and even the Disciples of Christ were never called to be priests to the church, no it’s not their duty - I know they like to think so. But they are mere leaders of the people of God and ministers of the word, they cannot make atonement for the sins of the church because Jesus has done that already, nor can they uphold and present their church members blameless before God, only Christ did and can do that. He offered the sacrifice for our sins ones and for all. So Pastors being not Levits or Priests, are not entitled or commanded to collect tithes. Whereas, the scriptures says in Hebrews, that the descendants of Levi who receive the Priestly Office have a COMMANDMENT in the LAW to take tithes from the people. The example of tithing under the priesthood of Jesus Christ our only High priest was represented by the kind of tithing Abraham gave to Melchizedeke - That which cost you nothing because it is by grace. Christ paid it for us full and complete. Just like Abraham never gave anyone a tithe from his personal possessions but only from the spoil of war ones and for all, he then turn around and gave the remaining 90th of that spoil of war to the original owners of the goods - the King of Sodom (Gensis 14:22-24). So unlike under the law, grace is free and cost you nothing, less any should boast. However, the Lord has promised to provide for the needs of all that labour in His vineyard. For the Scripture says in 1 Timothy 5:18: "You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain." And in another place, "Those who work deserve their pay!" As such, all that labour in the house of God - not just the pastors, are entitled to receive some material reward for their efforts. What the Lord promised is to provide your needs not your wants, so if you are a pastor and you are taking of God’s money, more than your daily needs, so that you have become very rich and storing the excess away in banks for your children’s children, and you are living extravagantly and so on, whereas some of God’s children whether there are in your church or outside your church are going hungry. I have news for you, God says you are the one robbing His store house. You are the thief and judgement is coming. You be the judge, whether the Gospel would have gone this far, if the Disciples of Jesus Christ were busy getting rich from the money offered to God, or selling the word of God in any manner of form. Christians should honor God by voluntarily returning some of the blessings He gives them to support the work of spreading the gospel - this is still a valid principle. However this should not be a compulsory, mandatory, guilt and fear of judgement imposed giving tactics employed by today’s pastors, but a free-will self imposed giving. The theological background for this idea is Christ’s high priesthood. Christ is the High Priest who ends all priesthood. The Old Testament passage most often quoted by the New Testament is Psalm 110:1-4. In verse 4 it says, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind. Thou art a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 7 offers a full scale explanation of this priesthood. Christ’s priesthood is not from the tribe of Levi as was all Old Testament priesthood. He is a priest not of the old order but of a new order, that of Melchizedek. Christ is sinless whereas priests were sinful. Christ offered himself whereas priests offered bulls and goats. Christ’s sacrifice is once for all whereas the priest’s sacrifice was ongoing and continual. Because of this higher order of priesthood, all human priesthood is fulfilled and abolished. Yet strangely because of Christ’s high priesthood, and because we are now in him, Christians not just pastors have all become priests not unto one another but unto God. Because of Christ, believers are now all prophets, priests, and kings. Christ followers are now part of a “royal priesthood” that prophetically proclaims his message.
Tithe - is a letter written in the Law of Moses. GOD made in the Old, a Covenant with Israel, after they have been rescued from the bondage in egypt. In them consist the Law of Moses that the house of Israel must comply diligently. It was still in effect when CHRIST came, and until He started His ministry, i believe when He was thirty years of age. On the eight day of His birth, He was circumcised as according to the Law required, and He lived under the Law like every other Israelite. JESUS said in Matthew 5: 17. Think not I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18. For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. John 19: 30. When JESUS therefore had received the vinegar, He said, "It is finished." And we perceive JESUS from the Sermon from the mount, Matthew chapter 5, and onward, JESUS began to give and make in the New, a Covenant with a remnant of Jews chosen by Grace. They have been born again and from above, who began with John the Baptist. By Grace and through they have come believing in JESUS as their MESSIAH sent by GOD. They have gone from dead and now alive in CHRIST JESUS, as new creature/creation. Therefore beginning with the remnant of Jews chosen by Grace in Israel and from the Sermon on the mount, and through them to the establishment of the church, and until today, He gave and made with us the New Testament/Covenant/Agreement, as the compilation in the HOLY BIBLE to date. Romans 8: 1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the SPIRIT. 2. For the law of the SPIRIT of life in CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the Law of sin and death. In the Gospel, JESUS was in the Temple with His disciples, as He was discipling them in regards 'offering', watching the givers. He as their lesson to carry and establish in the church, among many others, to the ends of the earth, did distinguish and commend the giver who gave the most as 'offering'. And Apostle Paul who knows a great deal about the Law and lived it himself diligently under them, speaks to the church who were 'bewitched' to comply the Law of circumcision. He rebuked and corrected, and cautioned them about the danger if the church were to practice even to one letter written in the Law. That then they will have to practice all that is written in the Law.. And even to the least letter in the Law one disobey, are under curse. Apart from all the Apostles would give the church, the word/teaching in regards offering and giving , brother Paul too ministers to the church about giving. Where he use the term like, 'generous offering', or in other words, 'cheerful giving'. Tithe - is not mentioned in the New Testament/Covenant/Agreement which GOD gave and made through His SON with us born again. This is because as i mentioned in the beginning that 'tithe' is a letter written int Law of Moses. And we already have and are free born again with someone who is greater than Moses. Indeed, Moses far from anyone, have been the builder of GOD's house. But JESUS is the owner of that house, and in these last days GOD has spoken to us through HIS SON. Therefore, the denomination and it's leaders who teach and emphasize the church on 'tithe', and to comply, are in 'lawlessness', and as Covenant breakers against GOD, who gave and made with them in the first place. The HOLY GHOST has brought to my attention this 'lawlessness' issue to address, among many other violation, not abiding by the New Covenantal word/teaching of LORD JESUS CHRIST. Even ones through His Apostles, chosen as His 'instruments' for the church.
Malachi 3 wasn't universally applied historically and isn't applicable today. The indictments in Malachi are specifically directed at the Levitical Priesthood. Read Malachi 1:6 and 2:1. Also, there's no such thing as a biblical monetary tithe. We are free to give not bound to pay.
God doesnt need our money. He needs us to feed the poor and needy. I love your prophetic words but I dont tithe because MY GOD IS THE GOD OF PROVIDER. He gives me knowledge, understand and wisdom to monitor my finance. Tithe is the old testament.
I salute Ptr. Alpha Lukau because He is a prophet used mightily by GOD. But it doesn't mean He is always correct. With regards to Mal.3:8-10 He is very wrong since it's a command under the law of Moses for the Israelites. It's the most abused verses in the bible used by so many prosperity preachers making their own version of it and wrongly applying it to the chutch Paul never taught it. He even pronounced it as another gospel with a curse in Gal. 1:8,9. Another curse is in Gal. 3:10. You have to completely obey all the command under the law of Moses 613in all. It's all or none. We are gentiles and we should follow the teaching of Paul. Our good Ptr. Alph should study more and dig deeper the word of God. There's still a so called Spirit of blindness operating in the church. It was shown to me after I had a discussion with my pastor. Head with eyes but closed, no opening. Pls search the INTERNET: RUSSELLKELLY/TITHING. Thanks
pastor I don't belive in the tithing my pastor and I cuss over that every week I get I pay my ties for years then her say we must give 200 or more for pledge where we must get that from .some church is just business .where all church money go and so many people in church every day and hungry and broke where is God bank .
All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes of Israel he separated the levites for the priesthood, the levites were given no land, so that the other tribes had to give a tenth of what they had to the levites. this makes sense and is logical. after all its Gods laws. In the new testament we don't have priest and levites.(christ is our high priest) and these preachers have property! also the ratio or people to priest was 11 to 1 so that tithes was logical , but today its 500 to 1 that's why those preachers are millionaires .
Pst alph, please don't mislead the congregation of what is expired 2000 years ago. Jesus has died on the cross and he nailed all of our sins. God himself saw that the law he made has killed many. That's why he made a new covenant, which was his son. We all know that there's only one covenant/ deal. That's why we have new testament. It means that the old testament was no more. (Luke 16:16). In Galatians 2:21 , it says for if we were able to be put right with God through the Law, then Christ died for nothing! Please check your teaching as u are mixing the old and the new. Hebrews 8:13
In fact if you're selling something that is expired, you'll be taken to court and can be fined or even jailed. On the same note, you're feeding people with a message that was for Jews only and was expired when Jesus died on the cross. Now we are sharing a message that whoever comes to believe in Christ is on the right track ☺. Read Galatians 2 again if you're confused of my point pst😊
Tithe has nothing to do with you, read your Bible. It was a welfare system to help the levi's . 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
I am so blessed by 'this sermon. Thank you God, Thank Jesus and Thank you Pastor Alph Lukau.
I think TITHE is Taxation under the Law of Moses. We no-longer live under the Law. Tithe is not Commandment. May God forgive me if i am wrong.
From today onwards I will pay tithe .. Thank you man of God, by the little I am getting I will always pay for my own good.. Thank you Jesus.
Oh my God! Pastor Alph you are truly a Man of God...so much years ago this word was preached and my heart is still being blessed.

I agree with you Pst. Alph Lukau. Tithe is one of the most misunderstood subject in the Bible, yet it is well taught in the Scriptures. We need to understand why we do what we do as taught in the Bible. Thank you pastor.
its most understood because All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes
of Israel he separated the levites for the priesthood, the levites were given no land, so that the other tribes had to give a tenth of what they had to the levites. this makes sense and is logical. after all its Gods laws.

I thank you for this teaching, and so may God bless you and your family in Jesus' name.

Word of God is not to question but to obey. Just do it and see the outcome. Enjoy your life by doing His will.
But he is teaching lies from the devil
He is lying and deceiving you. God doesn't want and not interested in your tithe, seed, first fruit, etc. If you want to honour God with your resource help the poor around you and watch God move towards blessing you. Read Acts 10:1-4.

I am a tither... I understand it's an old covenant law however, there are principals in this law which I believe is applicable to anyone who practice them. This appears to be the don't eat pork argument! To those who don't believe, don't tithe. But as for me and my house, if we error it will be on the side of caution! Trusting God, great lesson!!!
I believe in tithe because our father tithe in everything he got when he went to war with 318 of his servants agaiñst 4 kings Lord was with him and gave him victory we see he tithe to melchisedek and he blessed Abraham by giving bread and wine .wherever we are getting fed with the word of God we have to offer ourtithes and offerings.giving to God no thinking of percentage because our God almighty how big is his Love towards us.praise the Lord I love Ralph Lukau in Christ God bless from India Bangalore.
Dr. X, well I am NOT a tither and very proud to say it! All these wealthy white people and other races who do not believe in tithing and they are still rich! Let's just say that you have drank the kool-aid and you are brain washed! You need to be delivert!
@@mercyjoy8199, girl you talking foolish....bye!!!

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth hallelujah
Wow I love it the way he explained it, very simple to understand,simply put.
All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes

Jesus preached for three years , did he take a tithe from the people? or did he feed them? Jesus told his apostles FEED MY SHEEP! not MILK MY SHEEP!
In acts 6 the early church had a problem and that problem was that some of the people were not getting food daily. in the modern church they have a problem! and that problem is that the pastor is not getting enough money daily wow! how things have changed!
In fact, he's feeding u something that is expired 2000 years ago. Luke 16:6
The Law of Moses was our tour guide until the ministry of John. Romans 10:4 says Jesus is the End of the Law.
Do not be deceived my friend for when Jesus died, our sins were nailed to the cross and we are free from every bond. Now anyone who who believes will live. And if u think blessings come from tithe, what about Mathew 5:3-11 ?
Thank you my Daddy.The Lord will always bless you.
Omg this is Powerful teaching, thank u jesus.
am blessed with this message and my life and that of my family will change for the better in Jesus' Name, i welcome you to Kenya.

Back up to Malachi 3:7.
Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
God is calling for a RETURN to His Ordinances. Verse 8
Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
reveals that God is specifically speaking of the ordinances of tithes and offerings.
So, what are the ordinances of tithes?
1. That God's tithe is to be agricultural crops, flocks, and herds.
Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
2. That God's tithe is to be given to the bloodline descendants of Levi.
Numbers 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
3. That the children of Israel are not to tithe to the House of God.
Numbers 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers 18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
The children of Israel were to tithe to the Levites. The Levites, in turn, were to take a tithe of the tithe to the House of God.
Nehemiah 10:37 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
Nehemiah 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
The Ordinance of tithing reveals that Malachi could not have been speaking of a monetary tithe. Nor could he have been telling the congregation to tithe to the House of God. Malachi would not have told people to return to the Ordinances in 3:7 and then immediately told them to transgress the Ordinances in 3:10.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The congregation tithing to the House of God is transgressing the Law...it is sin.
The congregation tithing money is transgressing the Law...it is sin.
Stop teaching people to transgress the Law.
It's quite unfortunate that many preachers have been emphasis on tithing for their personal gain more than the gospel of salvation which Jesus Christ commanded us to give.
Thank you for your teaching papa I'm watching you on You Tube eatch day I love the way you teaching the word of God be blessed and stay bless pray for me and my family we follow you here in Namibia Okahandja
Pastor you have explain it so well I fully understand how it works thank you very much
Hallelujah pastor.am blessed with the message on tithe.I will never play about tithe God being my helper.I want to go with God from glory to glory. Pastor am praying everyday to visit you in south Africa one day.I want to see you face to face because you are helele.God should anoint you more and more
I decided to tithe 11 0/0 instead of the ten. Four days later I saw the hand of the Lord in my life. Men struggle to tithe but the enemy make sure we give to him n take it without asking us. N more than the ten percent. God is faithful
Okay, I am 5 min into this. Tithing is not a command for us for NT believers. Malachi 3 is used to steal from Gods children. This was addressed to the Levitical priests and the Israelites. The tithes was not money it was produce taken to a literal storehouse for food for the Levitacal priests. When Christ died on the cross, He fulfilled the requirements of the Law and made the mandatory 10 percent tithe obsolete. Read the Word instead of man. Numbers 18:21-32 Cheers from Australia
This is the way I understood it also. So on here why does it look like we are the only ones that understand it this way?
Vigilant G Yes, that's what I know. We shouldn't be under that law, right?
Vigilant G , Amen!!! Greetings to you all in Australia, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!! AMEN!!! Halle-lu-jah!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!! For it is written for all to know!!!! AMEN!!! For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 9:1-15 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/2co.9.1-15.KJV NO COMMANDMENT TO "TITHE" AMEN!!! LET HOLY GOD BE EVER, EVER, EVER SO TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR, WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE, GREAT IN AGE OR SMALL IN AGE!!! AMEN!!! IT...IS...ALL...SO!!! AMEN!!!
yes it is not a Law to tithe but if you are desperate for what tithe carries you have to tithe I have seen it working for me,many who oppose tithe are broke and miserable.
Godwin Chengula , Greetings to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!! So all the worldly people are broke and miserable??? What evidence can you produce showing what you receive is because of tithing??? So then it is no longer the grace of Holy God???????? His written promise of supplying all the needs of His people is not enough????? So there is no rest to you from this promise???? Many like the lies of giving to Holy God which the scriptures strongly rebukes!!!! Yes we are to give which is better than receiving but to witchcraft the minds of people by wresting the Holy scriptures is a very, very dangerous thing if not for some, even, shall end up being deadly!!! This is what the warning is about!!! It is a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of the living Holy God!!! Going along with all those who wrest the Holy scriptures is not good, refusing to seek the truth which the Spirit speaks to all those that has an ear to hear, but rather on this thread making their boast in how they agree with a man that can die!!! Not at all particularly pointing to Mr. Lukal, but he is being willfully ignorant of the speaking of the Spirit of truth concerning this matter!!! If so many of you have this truth so confidently and are so anointed and called of Holy God, go forth in your own ministry and control your own monies!!! AMEN!!! Do one really believe Holy God cares if one agreed with liars, scammers, or those in error??? Do one really believe that it shall stop His judgement up on all such as these??? Though such ignorance many are still in poverty and living in a shack maybe, while the rich are enjoying all the spoils of riches. The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear He came to serve and not to be served!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!! But make no mistake I am not fooled neither is the Lord Jesus Christ, the reason many of you agree and are willing to go along with the lies is because, if you were in his place, you too would do the same!!!! Oh yes!!! It...is...all...so!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!!
I like this teaching amen.
Thank you pastor for that wonderful word to church of God
I will tithe until God Himself says stop.
Florence Murwira, be careful what you ask, if The Lord wanted to open your eyes to the fact that "tithing" is not for the "New Testament Church," you may find yourself completely without money. Then how will you pay your tithes? You Pastor is deceiving you people and he is being deceived Look up "ROBERT BREAKER/ Is tithing for today." He's on you tube.
You ware going to wait forever then! Tithe has nothing to do with you, read your Bible. It was a welfare system to help the Levites. 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Awesome powerful words! I personally will always tithe!
I Receive The Blessings In JesusName Amen
So clear God bless u Man of God pray for me i should give
I believe tithe is not necessarily a gift to the pastor. It is a gift to the poor. The pastors will never be managers of tithe and it is not even there in the bible that pastors shall be managers of tithe. The word of God is very clear when it says give to the needy so that you yourself can be blessed. The word of god encourages us to love and give. There is no mention of the pastors being beneficiaries of the tithe, but the poor and the needy. I always give to the needy as I come across them everyday. I have seen people giving tithe to the pastors who then flee and disappear with monies and chase their dreams. The pastors of today, the so called prophets of black magic have ravaged our families and communities in the name of Jesus. So tithe has become the number one scripture for the unscrupulous priests and pastors who prey on innocent people. I challenge all Christians to be careful and avoid putting their monies into the devil's pockets, but instead make sure that you reach out yourself as a true Christians into your communities and put your monies where it is mostly needed.
That is beautiful yes it is
Ronald Selalame you have a problem you've been deceived
Go back to your Bible and read it. Your ignorance will cause you to perish. When you join a church, ask God to reveal to you who the Pastor is. He will show you. If you serve in a church that is Spirit led, PAY your tithe. Leave the servant of God to serve His Master. If he eats tge tithe, that is not your business. His Master will deal with him. Not you. You have fulfilled your part and that is obedience to God.
The Lord ask for first fruit, but if u do not bring the first fruit you bring the money instead. I have found churches today do not accept first fruit but want the money instead. If as us said it is used to take care of the poor but yet there are poor in the church who are not taken care of and many ignore this. I have a problem with that. Because if I am the poor, fatherless, abandonned and I come tp the church abd made to feel that if I dont give a certain amount I will not receive then I will never be a cheerful giver. I will resent that forced giving. What about Gods mercy and His grace? We are not saved by our works but by His Mercy and Grace. If I am in a position where I can give money sobeit. But if I am not in a position to give and you emotionally blackmailme to giving and then my children starve whilst I hope for someone to give me back what I just paid in tithe its nonsensical. My life has not changed, povertyy has not left but yet I pay over and over. Seriously? What about the tithe of the tithe? No one talks about that. THe house that collects the tithe must also pay a tothe of the tithe...the question is who is that paid to? So if someone can answer this in an intelligent way I would love to hear because Im pretty dissatisfied with churches today
Thank u jesus for this msg.
In acts 6 the early church had a problem and that problem was that some of the people were not getting food daily. in the modern church they have a problem! and that problem is that the pastor is not getting enough money daily wow! how things have changed!
now I'll tithe with a revelation.
I love the way you are preaching about tithes.

God doesn't want your tithe wake up my dear. Go and help the poor around you that's new commanded of God to Christians.
@@philano7847 if you are poor come I help you
@@nakadduagnes6990 Go and help the poor ones around you madam. Gullible fellow keep sleeping you think the so called tithe is working for you? You have been deceived. There is dignity in labour and money is the reward for value. Not the nonsense tithe.
I believe in being a cheerful giver. We know the church needs money to operate. We should give bountifully. Now when it comes to tithes, that's produce. The storehouse was like a warehouse were food and meat was stored to feed the poor, homeless, widower, and less fortunate. There's different tithes, but all have to do with eating your tithe before the Lord. Malachi 3:10 says, that there might be meat (food) in my house. God didn't ask for money, which they had in those days, he wanted to make sure his people ate. Another tithe was brought to a certain location predestined by God, and they would eat there before God. Tithe was only changed to money, when some felt the journey was far, they would redeem the tithe and once they reached the destination, use the money to purchase produce, food, meat, oil and wine. In Deuternomy 14:26 included strong drink to be consumed before God. Do your own research on tithe.
Certainly the church doesn't need money to operate. If we say that God is the head of the church, then why does he need our money to move his church. We say he's a big God, a rich God, a God that provides, and so forth. So what's the point of him being the head and leader? It's so sad that we say that he's our father, yet we finance his church. U and I both know that a father provides for his family, and so does God to his!! Anyways my friend, the Queens family in England doesn't pay taxes coz they are members of the royal family. On the contrary, the citizens do pay taxes. It's up to u whether you are a member of the family or ur a citizen ☺. Please don't confuse yourself. Read Luke 16 : 16

This is awesome. Clear message
All these preachers that teach tithes , don't tell the people how tithes originate and what was the purpose of tithes , and the people don't read their bible, so they are ignorant .and remain ignorant. When God give the land to the tribes
of Israel he separated the levites for the priesthood, the levites were given no land, so that the other tribes had to give a tenth of what they had to the levites. this makes sense and is logical. after all its Gods laws. In the new testament we don't have priest and levites.(christ is our high priest) and these preachers have property! also the ratio or people to priest was 11 to 1 so that tithes was logical , but today its 500 to 1 that's why those preachers are millionaires .

Hallelujah Glory
To those who want hear the undiluted truth of the new testament doctrine. Tithing under new testament has been abolished. Infact it's a sin for a Christian to pay tithe, first fruit, seed, etc. Jesus Christ is the end to every mosaic law. Rom.10:4. What we are commended to do in the new testament on giving is to willingly and cheerfully help the poor around us.Read Matt.25:31-46. Even Angel of God testified about the importance of helping the poor around us. Read Acts 10:1-4. Gullible christians should wake up and start reading their bibles God doesn't want and not interested in your tithe, seed, first fruit, etc. It's a waste of time, go give your one tenth to the poor around you and watch God move towards blessing you. God is honored when you willingly and cheerfully help the poor around you. Let those who want to hear the truth hear. Any pastor teaching you to pay tithe, sow seed, first fruit etc is lying and deceiving you. This is the simple truth. Bible is the guideline to every Christian not pastors.
I received your miracle in Jesus name
God is a good God. Glory be to his holy name
How to pay your tithe is it the gross income before tax or from the net income salary?
The Word of God is eternal. Unchangeable. Tithing is NOT ONLY applicable in the OT. It is also TRUE in the NT. JESUS did not nullify the Law but He fulfilled the Law.
If you do not want to pay your tithes its up to your kind of faith and level of obedience to the WORD OF GOD.
But i believe Ptr Alph Lukau's teachings. He is a man of God. His doctrine is sound and scriptural.
glory be to our lord jesus christ

TITHES (A Tenth of Everything) IS FOR THE PRIESTS
The case of Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood.
Hebrews 7
Tithing preceded the law because even Abraham gave tithe to Melchizedek:
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything.
See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham. But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. Note that Abraham's tithe, (an example of Grace not Law - which came from Moses) was free will and not out of compulsion, but that under Moses was a law and compulsory. Moreover, Abraham paid this tithe only ones outside the Law, just like Christ has once and for all fulfilled all the requirements of the Law for all who are in Him.
The tithes and first fruits belonged to God, and he assigned the Levites (Priests) to receive them on his behalf under the LAW (Numbers 18:12-13, 21, 24). They could keep 90 percent of what they were given, but had to give 10 percent as an offering (verses 26-32).
Tithing was done in the days of Hezekiah (2 Chr. 31:5-6), Nehemiah (Nehemiah 10:35-39; 12:44) and Jesus though not by Him or His disciples (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). In Malachi’s day, tithing was required (Malachi 3:8-10), and physical blessings were promised for obedience, just as physical blessings were promised for obedience to the old covenant.
Tithing in the new covenant
Now let us consider whether tithing is required in the new covenant. Tithing is mentioned only three or four times in the New Testament. Jesus acknowledged that the Pharisees were very careful about tithing (Luke 18:12), and he said that they should not leave it undone, because they are under the law since Christ had not yet died and the era of grace not yet begun (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). neither has the New Covenant yet established because it began after the death of Christ. So, at the time Jesus made this statement, it Old Covenant and it's laws was still in place and the era of Grace not yet began. Tithing, like other old covenant rules and rituals, was a law at the time Jesus spoke. Jesus criticized the Pharisees not for tithing, but for treating tithing as more important than mercy, love, justice and faithfulness.
In Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, by calling them hypocrites who only keep some of the law (i.e. Tithing) and neglected others. In order words, they must keep all the laws if they must be justified by the law.
Two other similar Old Covenant law that became no longer a requirement were 1. People who was healed from Leprosy most go to the Priest and make an offering for their cleansing. So in recognition of this Law of Moses that no longer applies today, Jesus asked the man healed in Luke 5:14 to go and make this offering as commanded by Moses. 2. Also Circumcision, about which Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7:18-19 as follows: "Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what matters. Those that observe the law of tithing should observe the rest of the laws of Moses.
DECEIT - (Occurs when one is concealing or misrepresenting the truth)
All I have mentioned so far till this point are all the wonderful arguments employed by most Pentecostal pastors and church leaders to misrepresent the truth and support their practice of collecting tithe. But have we wondered why neither Jesus nor any of his disciples practice the act of tithe collection, order than them mentioning it as a recognized practice within the former priestly order.
WHO IS THE PRIEST OF THE NEW COVENANT?
The only other New Testament mention of tithing is in Hebrews. The fact that Abraham was blessed by and gave tithes to Melchizedek illustrates the superiority of Melchizedek or Jesus Christ over the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 7:1-10). The passage then goes on to note that “when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also” (verse 12). That is, the law accompanying the Levitical priesthood must change to the new covenant of Grace accompanying the Priesthood of Jesus Christ.
There was a change of the priesthood from the Levites to Jesus Christ, and this implies a change in the law that assigned the Levites to be priests. How much has been changed? Hebrews says that the old covenant is obsolete. In other words the package of laws that commanded tithes to be given to the Levites is obsolete.
THE MAIN DUTY OF A PRIEST IS TO BE THE GO BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THEIR GOD, TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR THEIR SINS, INTERCEDE AND UPHOLD THEM AND PRESENT THEM BLAMELESS BEFORE THEIR GOD. The only one that can and is in a position to do this for us is only Jesus Christ. No pastor can achieve this, neither is it their duty to. We have but only one high priest - Jesus Christ. The Levitical priests could not accomplish this, hence a change was needed.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY AND CORRECT THE NOTION THAT PASTOR’S ARE PRIEST. Pastors, reverends, any other ordained minister and even the Disciples of Christ were never called to be priests to the church, no it’s not their duty - I know they like to think so. But they are mere leaders of the people of God and ministers of the word, they cannot make atonement for the sins of the church because Jesus has done that already, nor can they uphold and present their church members blameless before God, only Christ did and can do that. He offered the sacrifice for our sins ones and for all. So Pastors being not Levits or Priests, are not entitled or commanded to collect tithes. Whereas, the scriptures says in Hebrews, that the descendants of Levi who receive the Priestly Office have a COMMANDMENT in the LAW to take tithes from the people.
The example of tithing under the priesthood of Jesus Christ our only High priest was represented by the kind of tithing Abraham gave to Melchizedeke - That which cost you nothing because it is by grace. Christ paid it for us full and complete. Just like Abraham never gave anyone a tithe from his personal possessions but only from the spoil of war ones and for all, he then turn around and gave the remaining 90th of that spoil of war to the original owners of the goods - the King of Sodom (Gensis 14:22-24). So unlike under the law, grace is free and cost you nothing, less any should boast.
However, the Lord has promised to provide for the needs of all that labour in His vineyard.
For the Scripture says in 1 Timothy 5:18: "You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain." And in another place, "Those who work deserve their pay!"
As such, all that labour in the house of God - not just the pastors, are entitled to receive some material reward for their efforts. What the Lord promised is to provide your needs not your wants, so if you are a pastor and you are taking of God’s money, more than your daily needs, so that you have become very rich and storing the excess away in banks for your children’s children, and you are living extravagantly and so on, whereas some of God’s children whether there are in your church or outside your church are going hungry. I have news for you, God says you are the one robbing His store house. You are the thief and judgement is coming.
You be the judge, whether the Gospel would have gone this far, if the Disciples of Jesus Christ were busy getting rich from the money offered to God, or selling the word of God in any manner of form.
Christians should honor God by voluntarily returning some of the blessings He gives them to support the work of spreading the gospel - this is still a valid principle. However this should not be a compulsory, mandatory, guilt and fear of judgement imposed giving tactics employed by today’s pastors, but a free-will self imposed giving.
The theological background for this idea is Christ’s high priesthood. Christ is the High Priest who ends all priesthood. The Old Testament passage most often quoted by the New Testament is Psalm 110:1-4. In verse 4 it says, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind. Thou art a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 7 offers a full scale explanation of this priesthood. Christ’s priesthood is not from the tribe of Levi as was all Old Testament priesthood. He is a priest not of the old order but of a new order, that of Melchizedek. Christ is sinless whereas priests were sinful. Christ offered himself whereas priests offered bulls and goats. Christ’s sacrifice is once for all whereas the priest’s sacrifice was ongoing and continual. Because of this higher order of priesthood, all human priesthood is fulfilled and abolished. Yet strangely because of Christ’s high priesthood, and because we are now in him, Christians not just pastors have all become priests not unto one another but unto God. Because of Christ, believers are now all prophets, priests, and kings. Christ followers are now part of a “royal priesthood” that prophetically proclaims his message.
Wish the advertisements were played AFTER the sermon!!
Tithe - is a letter written in the Law of Moses. GOD made in the Old, a Covenant with Israel, after they have been rescued from the bondage in egypt. In them consist the Law of Moses that the house of Israel must comply diligently. It was still in effect when CHRIST came, and until He started His ministry, i believe when He was thirty years of age. On the eight day of His birth, He was circumcised as according to the Law required, and He lived under the Law like every other Israelite.
JESUS said in Matthew 5:
17. Think not I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18. For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.
John 19:
30. When JESUS therefore had received the vinegar, He said, "It is finished."
And we perceive JESUS from the Sermon from the mount, Matthew chapter 5, and onward, JESUS began to give and make in the New, a Covenant with a remnant of Jews chosen by Grace. They have been born again and from above, who began with John the Baptist. By Grace and through they have come believing in JESUS as their MESSIAH sent by GOD. They have gone from dead and now alive in CHRIST JESUS, as new creature/creation. Therefore beginning with the remnant of Jews chosen by Grace in Israel and from the Sermon on the mount, and through them to the establishment of the church, and until today, He gave and made with us the New Testament/Covenant/Agreement, as the compilation in the HOLY BIBLE to date.
Romans 8:
1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the SPIRIT.
2. For the law of the SPIRIT of life in CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the Law of sin and death.
In the Gospel, JESUS was in the Temple with His disciples, as He was discipling them in regards 'offering', watching the givers. He as their lesson to carry and establish in the church, among many others, to the ends of the earth, did distinguish and commend the giver who gave the most as 'offering'.
And Apostle Paul who knows a great deal about the Law and lived it himself diligently under them, speaks to the church who were 'bewitched' to comply the Law of circumcision. He rebuked and corrected, and cautioned them about the danger if the church were to practice even to one letter written in the Law. That then they will have to practice all that is written in the Law.. And even to the least letter in the Law one disobey, are under curse.
Apart from all the Apostles would give the church, the word/teaching in regards offering and giving , brother Paul too ministers to the church about giving. Where he use the term like, 'generous offering', or in other words, 'cheerful giving'.
Tithe - is not mentioned in the New Testament/Covenant/Agreement which GOD gave and made through His SON with us born again. This is because as i mentioned in the beginning that 'tithe' is a letter written int Law of Moses. And we already have and are free born again with someone who is greater than Moses. Indeed, Moses far from anyone, have been the builder of GOD's house. But JESUS is the owner of that house, and in these last days GOD has spoken to us through HIS SON.
Therefore, the denomination and it's leaders who teach and emphasize the church on 'tithe', and to comply, are in 'lawlessness', and as Covenant breakers against GOD, who gave and made with them in the first place.
The HOLY GHOST has brought to my attention this 'lawlessness' issue to address, among many other violation, not abiding by the New Covenantal word/teaching of LORD JESUS CHRIST. Even ones through His Apostles, chosen as His 'instruments' for the church.
Wonderful message
Good to know this and i am so glad!
Malachi 3 wasn't universally applied historically and isn't applicable today. The indictments in Malachi are specifically directed at the Levitical Priesthood. Read Malachi 1:6 and 2:1. Also, there's no such thing as a biblical monetary tithe. We are free to give not bound to pay.
God doesnt need our money. He needs us to feed the poor and needy. I love your prophetic words but I dont tithe because MY GOD IS THE GOD OF PROVIDER. He gives me knowledge, understand and wisdom to monitor my finance. Tithe is the old testament.
Glory be to God
Sorry Pastor i will trying but it's not possible that situation.
Please pray for me.
Thanks
I received this word and would like to ask what if a person has never worked and was a housewife?
Abraham GAVE. Levi PAID!
Very true, i believe in Tithing
I salute Ptr. Alpha Lukau because He is a prophet used mightily by GOD. But it doesn't mean He is always correct. With regards to Mal.3:8-10 He is very wrong since it's a command under the law of Moses for the Israelites. It's the most abused verses in the bible used by so many prosperity preachers making their own version of it and wrongly applying it to the chutch Paul never taught it. He even pronounced it as another gospel with a curse in Gal. 1:8,9. Another curse is in Gal. 3:10. You have to completely obey all the command under the law of Moses 613in all. It's all or none. We are gentiles and we should follow the teaching of Paul. Our good Ptr. Alph should study more and dig deeper the word of God. There's still a so called Spirit of blindness operating in the church. It was shown to me after I had a discussion with my pastor. Head with eyes but closed, no opening. Pls search the INTERNET: RUSSELLKELLY/TITHING. Thanks
Have not been tithing but i promise after watching this have learnt alot and i will be tithing since it seems my pocket has some holes
pastor I don't belive in the tithing
my pastor and I cuss over that every week I get I pay my ties for years then her say we must give 200 or more for pledge where we must get that from .some church is just business .where all church money go and so many people in church every day and hungry and broke where is God bank .
Pastor Alph God bless you

Pst alph, please don't mislead the congregation of what is expired 2000 years ago. Jesus has died on the cross and he nailed all of our sins. God himself saw that the law he made has killed many. That's why he made a new covenant, which was his son. We all know that there's only one covenant/ deal. That's why we have new testament. It means that the old testament was no more. (Luke 16:16). In Galatians 2:21 , it says for if we were able to be put right with God through the Law, then Christ died for nothing! Please check your teaching as u are mixing the old and the new. Hebrews 8:13
In fact if you're selling something that is expired, you'll be taken to court and can be fined or even jailed. On the same note, you're feeding people with a message that was for Jews only and was expired when Jesus died on the cross. Now we are sharing a message that whoever comes to believe in Christ is on the right track ☺. Read Galatians 2 again if you're confused of my point pst😊
Thankyou.
Amen.
God Have mercy on me and husband.
I NOW DO UNDERSTAND PAPA.
YEA PAY YA'LL TITHES SO THAT THE FALSE PROFIT CAN KEEP HIS BENTLEY AND FANCY HOUSES!
So True Pastor Alph I know
Tithe has nothing to do with you, read your Bible. It was a welfare system to help the levi's . 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Amen pastor
