everyone cannot afford to tithe. but it is important to give to the house of God, to keep the doors open, bills paid, meet the needs of NEEDY FOLKS.
look at what this "minister" said. "God is obligated
at that point (tithing) to supply all of my need".
that is false teaching.
god provides for all of us regardless if we can AFFORD to tithe or not. everybody cannot afford to tithe out of their income due to bills. they may want to tithe, but can simply afford to give a few dollars. its an issue of the heart. give what you can and be consistent at that.
what about if you are poor?
matthew 26:11
For you have the poor with you always,
is god "obligated" to supply all your need?
luke 12:24
Consider the ravens,
for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?
and then that clown said
"in order to gain increase from the Lord"
more false teaching.
Tithing isn't synonymous with increase. one thing that blows my mind is how false ministers don't teach people about OBEDIENCE (submission) to God. but just give money and god will bless. SMH.
1 Timothy 6:5-12
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain
