lorddannie: The payment of offerings and tithe has been an integral parts of biblical doctrines. Offerings come in various forms; covenant offering, seed offerings, first-fruits, heave, wave, offerings to support God's work, to support God's servants, for building of the church of God, to assist the less privilege, orphans widows etc. Christians do not give offerings to sponsor terrorism, extremists, religious bigots and fanatics or procure IEDs and ammunition. People give offering according to their abilities; Tithe may be 10% or more (Jesus accepted and commended an old woman for her offering; an old coin which was all she had), as the giver wishes to some give ALL, others old coin. So there no abuse, or force or compulsion in it. our jealousy maY be due to the abundance that results from there offerings, but bible acknowledge the fact that it would result in plenty(Malachi 3;1-10). Jesus has never spoken against offerings or tithes of whatever kind. The book of ACTs 4;33-37, ACTs 5;1-11, reported that people sold their lands and houses and gave the money to the missionary. Acts 5:4 specifically showed that there is no compulsion in giving offerings "...was the land yours before you sold it? after it was sold you could have done what you wanted to do with the money..." Even God have his only begotten sold, as a covenant offering. When God required Isaac from Abraham was it not his all?

Hello sir, Did you read 2 Tim 4 from the first verse to the end?
My advice is that you read and meditate the scriptures not just contextual.

The essence of seeding and covenant partnership is to raise funds for Gospel work.
May God grant you understanding in JESUS NAME.

lorddannie: contributing to the household of God does not stop one from giving voluntarily to people in need; the bible encourage it and Christians practice. No body tries to bribe God, Christians know that. Check my post above. Read Matthew 25:40-45

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

lorddannie: Covenant offerings are not bribes to God for long live. but God sometimes feel compelled to do some uncommon things to givers. The case of Hezekiah is a classical one. God extended the life of Hezekiah because of his offerings and good works. See 2chronicles 31;2-12 and 2kings 20;1-6

The UBA Accounts are the same.

Accept my sincere apologies for this revelation.

When I asked God, He said there will be a new set and it will not be for ten years. He said “because those people were in covenant with you for ten years, I had no choice but to keep them alive for ten years” He said “You tied my hands”.

Pennywise
This is fleecing the faithful.
Nig govt should take steps to protect the weak among us from these open acts of religious predation. Some countries have already stopped industrious nig pastors from merchandising miracles on their soil.

But with Jonathan kneeling down for Adeboye and his congregation no one expects this to happen any time soon.
Pathetic.

^^^NA WA O, WHERE THE REMAINING RCCG MEMBERS? I NEED TO KNOW WHY THE CONTROVERSIAL LINK WAS REMOVED? SOMEONE ON THIS THREAD MUST HAVE ENGINEERED IT!

If you’re writing a cheque, please write it in the name of The Redeemed Christian Church of God and then at the back, put ‘Covenant Partner’. Don’t write the cheque in Pastor E. A. Adeboye's name.

Any cheque written in my name will be used for what? (Response from the congregation: pounded yam) ah! Thank you, it will go for pounded yam straight.

Deyhmee
Smh.... Did he force anybody to pay?!! Most of you didn't see the N500 category there oo. The money isn't going into daddy's account,

Don’t write the cheque in Pastor E. A. Adeboye's name.

Any cheque written in my name will be used for what? (Response from the congregation: pounded yam) ah! Thank you, it will go for pounded yam straight.

Ilekokonit: .

The following statement was made by Adeboye :-


"Daddy" himself said any cheque written in his name will be spent feeding himself with pounded yam. How clear could his motives have been

I AM STILL TRYING MY BEST TO BELIEVE THAT I AM DREAMING HERE OR THAT IT IS ANOTHER RCCG THAT POSTED THIS.

truthislight:

the RCCG seems to have destroyed your faith in the bible going by what you are posting in NL.

MY FAITH IS INTACT, I DONT MIX UP MY FAITH IN JESUS WITH RELIGION. WHAT IF YOUR PASTOR GOES TO HELL FIRE, WILL YOU NECESSARILY FOLLOW?
SALVATION IS A PERSONAL THING. . .
