Corrections:
In Christianity, the importance of tithing can not be ignored. God instructed Christians to bring 10th of their total income to his storehouse or temple.

However, in today's modern world, people no longer give animals or material things as Tithe (not that it is forbidden) but instead all have been monetized.

One may wonder and ask the following questions:

* Why do Christians have to bring their TITHES to God's storehouse or temple?

* What is God's understanding of a store house or temple?

* Can one give his/her TITHE to parents or people if they are in need?

WHY DO CHRISTIANS HAVE to bring their TITHE to God's storehouse/ temple?

Malachi 3:10

New Living Translation
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test.

Just as it is written in the scripture, we give TITHE so that there will be enough in the temple or store house of God.

WHAT IS GOD'S UNDERSTANDING OF STOREHOUSE/ TEMPLE?

The scripture gives us a clear idea of God's understanding on what a storehouse/ temple is. In the scripture we can classify God's understanding of a storehouse/ temple as the following:

* Store house/ temple view by God as a Physical man made structures.

* Store house/ temple view by God as a human body (that is spirit with a soul)

STOREHOUSE/TEMPLE VIEW BY GOD AS A "PHYSICAL MAN MADE STRUCTURE"

Here God views a temple or storehouse as a structure built by man. It is always physical in nature.

Ezra 1: 3

New International Version
Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them.

1Chronicles 28:3
New International Version
But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’

Here we can clearly see that God is referring a house/temple as a man made structure.

STOREHOUSE/TEMPLE VIEW BY GOD AS A HUMAN BODY (THAT IS SPIRIT WITH A SOUL)

Here, God does not view a storehouse or temple as a physical man made structure but rather he views it as a human body that has a soul and a spirit.


1Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV),

He asks, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

John 4: 21-23

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit (the spirit is inside the body) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

Here Jesus was trying to tell us that our body will be the temple where God will be worshipped which confirms that God also sees our body as a storehouse/ temple.

Matthew 12:43-45

43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says[b], ‘I will return to the house I left[/b].’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there (because they see it just as God sees it as a house too) And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

Here, Jesus is referring to human's body (that has a spirit and a soul) to be a house where demons could dwell or live. It opens our eye to the fact that God who is a spirit also sees our human physical body as a temple/house.

CAN ONE GIVE HIS/ HER TITHE TO PARENTS OR PEOPLE IF THEY ARE IN NEED?

Now, that we understand how God sees or defines a " storehouse or temple", we can now proceed to answering the question. The following are the 3 reasons why you can give your TITHE to your parents or people if they are in need.

* Jesus says in mark7:11-12

Mark7:11-12
New international Version
11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Here, Jesus was telling the people how wrong they were when they refused to help their parents with things (including tithe) they had dedicated to give God when they were seriously in need. If your parents are in serious need of money and you could help them with your tithe (because that is what is left to help) but told them "you rather give the money to God as tithe than them", Jesus says you are wrong.

* Your parents/ people are temple or storehouse (spirits that live in body with soul) of God by scriptures.

Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV),

He asks, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!

This article is written to let us see from scriptures (bible) view that while it good to take our tithe to physical house of God we should not also condem the fact that humans body is also seen by God as a temple or storehouse in which we can invest our tithe in if they are in need of it after we have given every other things.


Meanwhile,, Jesus is waiting for you because jesus is the messiah the world is waiting so connect with him today! !!!


HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

Your body is the house of God is it clean or dirty? You can make it clean by connecting to Jesus today.

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).


Say lord Jesus am sorry for the sins have committed and today I accept you as the son of God and as my lord and personal savior. Help me to follow you now and for ever more. Amen!!!

Trash!
Twist anyway you want nothing like comparing the HOUSE being mentioned to the other allegories you are trying to force into our throats.
Well, those who don't even their parents or close relatives not to mention God they don't know or have, will jump at your position.
If not because you want to twist the word of God, can you honestly tell us that the Bible didn't/doesn't command, exhort, and encourage us to give to the needy and all it's pages?
So, what you wrote above is for your mind and not in any way biblical.
Why didn't you ask us to to take our school fees, medical emergency fee, statutory tax to feed and help the poor, if truly you are not of belial?
For your information, tithing remains the least of what a child of God should bring. You are blind to the fact that disciples brought ALL to the feet of apostles, aren't you?

Lagos never owns the Computer village. This is because the village never exists. What we call Computer Village these days is conglomeration of shops in individual properties.
If it happens, it will not see the light of the day because I don't as a landlord, determines who I take as my tenant and I will rather go to Ikeja than going to somewhere close to Ouagadougou (Kantagwa)

While the servant should be dealt with, the boss is not far from being fraudulent.
Who carelessly keeps such amount at home?

DohFahSo:

You can make your point without insulting the old man na. He's not the president, is he?

You have to allow him ventilate his anger against adeboye.
The possibility is there that Adeboye might have been one HUGE reason why his generation has been so unfortunate!

You need to speak better English to anything across to anybody .
Only thing you’re capable of ing across right now is insanity

I can't help your comprehension. As it is, you are the only one here with this conclusion.
I will not be idle to be exchanging further on this, especially as no one sees the need for it on this platform.

The capital will surely go to Ile-Ife. That's sure. Ife is the head in that area.

How did you arrive at this conclusion please?

BitterTruth01:


Coincidentally , his personal aide who refused to fly in the chopper with his boss is also Yoruba

And the other guy Stock Exchange na YORUBA too. Now where you Wan carry your useless idea go now? North or East? Nonsense

I always accept the truth, even if it comes from an untrustworthy mouth.

Reno has a valid point here.

But why didn't Reno say this before now? 🤔 Why is he saying it after BAT wished him happy birthday? Could it be just a coincidence?

He's been hammering MTN since last year. Get your fact right

If You Want The Naira To Rise, Read This

President Bola Tinubu would do well to cast his gaze in the direction of the board of the Nigerian Communications Commission. There is some anti-Nigerian sentiment on that board, similar to what would have cost Nigeria a loss of almost $10 billion with the P&ID scam. of the NCC board are too close to MTN for comfort.

Why should MTN have authorisation to collect value-added tax? A foreign owned telecommunications? What is their business with VAT? Who and who on the NCC board gave MTN those powers and why? What relationship do some of the NCC board have with MTN?

Is it a coincidence that a former senior staff of FIRS is on that board? Are there some conflict of interest issues here? The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission should be looking into this.

Why would the NCC allow a foreign telecommunications, officially branded a hostile monopoly by the Ghanaian government, to get away with monopolistic tendencies in Nigeria?

And why would a staff of the NCC, Helen Obi, undermine a Nigerian telecommunications firm on behalf of MTN, a foreign dominant player, using information that was not verified and has since been debunked? Are there people in NCC trying to undermine the efforts of the Tinubu istration to revamp the economy and strengthen the Naira?

Already, MTN is responsible for some of the most significant capital flights out of Nigeria. Together with Airtel, they are responsible for almost $20 million leaving the Nigerian economy for South Africa and India every day. It will be a shame if Nigerian officials help them to undermine the Nigerian economy as they have done in Ghana.

Put poverty aside, her business idea might be the reason she birthed up to 11 children.

But may God help her mentally and financially.

As far as the South East is concerned, this business has been booming for decades. It's not caused by tinubu.

nairalanda1:



Attacking a hospital should not be the reason for praising God.

As much as Israel should go after its enemies, a hospital is a safe space. It is not meant for Israel, and indeed the terrorists to play war. There is a reason why organisations like the Red Cross exist...it was to stop things like this from happening.

At the end of the day, Israel and the arabs should sort themselves out. NO, i am not calling for ANtichrist or whatever. Israel and the arabs should sort themselves out. Too many people have died for nothing.

Attaching TERRORISTS in the hospital!
This is clear enough.
