Please edit the biblical section for where Dr. MONROE shared the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew it is chp 14 vs 16 – 20
It is awesome how he explains great management skills of The Christ. His message gave Matthew chp.6 vs40. It was probably a brief over sight in editing.
@Diana Choi hi diana. What truth did u conclude too. Im new in my faith and is struggling with this. I want to give what belongs to God, but im also paranoid on false teachings…i know its been a year since this comment so i just wanna know how u see it hehehe. Thanks sister
@berniesatWow, well I guess it’s pretty obvious now who isn’t Biblical. Where did you learn all this untruth? You don’t seem to understand the work of the cross. Yes gentiles are grafted in thru Christ. Branches will also be cut off too. Did I say angels have wings lol or that we’d have wings? Lol are you really that lacking in imagination? You just ignored scripture and made a bunch of irrelevant points. Of course I’d use the NT to prove tithes are still legit since you were using the new covenant to say Tithing is not a thing. We all know it’s in the OT. 😅 You’re attacking Christians when this is about believers whether they call themselves Christian or Jesus followers. Thank you for confirming there haven’t been any changes so the tithe is still legit. You countered your own argument. AHHHH a Paul denier. That explains a lot. You could learn a LOT from him. The scripture I used was in Matthew and spoke of the tithes… Jesus’ own words. You read Matt 23:23 which is in red quoting Jesus. Not good enough right? I have proven my point. I needed to go to OT to prove what? that the Christians are God’s people too? Lol that’s not what this convo was even about, but it explains a lot. No more pearls. Good journey.
@lilstardust777 The only reference that is made about men being like angels is saying that we won’t get married in the new kingdom, like the angels don’t marry. Angels are angels and men are men. we don’t get wings when we die. We will still be men in our new bodies. If you are so convinced that we are going to heaven, please show me one verse that mentions it. There are many that say we are staying here on earth, with the Most high dwelling here also, among Israel. The meek shall inherit… heaven?
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
(Eze 37:24-28)
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
(Eze 43:7-9)
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
(Mic 4:6-7)
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
(Psa 132:13-14)
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
(Zec 2:10-11)
That is just a fraction of them. I have yet to see one that says we are going to live in the clouds. Christianity has performed a Jedi mind trick on the world. Nothing about them lines up with what the bible says.
Let me ask you this. Is the Messiah coming back a 3rd time? Because from what you said, his second coming is to gather the saints, then he will return to execute judgement. Where does the bible mention a 3rd coming?
@Wisdom for Dominion Very important to be lead by the Holy Spirit is correct 👏 🙌 but the word is God’s authority so you do His will first and if you feel lead give it out of your 90% not your tithing and know you will be giving more than expected 😀an offering. Hope this is helpful…. blessings 🙏🏿
@surenmsc79 Christian’s are to give cheerful, no percentage given. Please keep bear in mind giving is voluntary for Christians and tithing was required for the Nation of Israel.
@Michael Christian yes i also were thinking about it it should give or not ?n in dream God voice i heard n said read psalm 50 from that day i dont gove tith but i help needy person not only tith but sometime 30 or 40 % i use to give but not in church needy person n missionary n christian families.
After watching this video I was enlightened. Thank you Sir “RIP”
Now for the comments:
Most were focused on giving money to whoever they believe when the video Specifically said
1) God owns 100%
2) God don’t need/want your money
Either the revelation went over our heads or we just too religious. If you believe that God wants you tithe 10% to the church or the community do so (10% of EVERYTHING). If you are among those that believe freely received freely give do that whether in the church or community (freely in EVERYTHING).
I encourage us to really watch this video with an open mind. Many of us lack the 6 things listed.
Are we good Managers?
Am I Accountable, Discipline, Honest, Diligent, Faithful, Trustworthy with anything God gives me.
Please note that if we cannot manage the little God gives us then we cannot handle the masses as Yeshua did.
@Zauna Ann Hewling 1 Corinthians 2:12 is a very reassuring verse, however I don’t see the tithing connection. The bible has many scriptures concerning tithing. Just a quick overview, tithing was for the Nation of Israel. Tithes were crops and animals, not money or time. It’s very unfortunate that modern-day preachers have hijacked the word of God to satisfy their greed. Giving is for the Christian. Tithing and giving are not the same. Tithing was mandatory for Israel. Giving is voluntary for the Christian. Please take the time and do study on tithing and it will be very clear. Read every verse on tithing. Context is key. If you deviate from the original intent, then confusion sets in.
@Victoria Davis You have no idea of what you are talking about. Read the Bible in deepth. The tribe of Levi did not have inheritance (land). That s why God commanded the other 11 tribes of Israel to tithe to the tribe of Levi. Tithe was paid in crops, olive oil, wine and livestock not money.
@No Matusi the tithe was a representation of your time and life because God wants to see your willingness and management of what he has given. Monetary tithe isn’t false doctrine. You should give 10% of all that we have because it belongs to God anyways. The 90 and the 10. God doesn’t need our little 10 percent but it is to see our diligence, willingness and sacrifice to see our management.
@Gary G What do you mean by that? Tithe was paid to the tribe of Levi because they did not have inheritance – land. It was paid n food not money. They had money at the time but was not used for tithe
@Wisdom for Dominion so what does that mean? I mean no disrespect. But in this video, you are saying to tithe. But in your response to this comment, youre saying otherwise….please help me understand.
@Hello Sunshine the whole tithing started and was a law to the yisrealites and they had to give their 10% to the Levi tribe since they didn’t get part the promise land. And no where in the New Testament tells the gentiles or the pagans to tithe only a couple times is mentioned but it’s mentioned because of the Jews who were so religious but yet we’re failing with their tithing, it was brought up because they had to tithe since they’re are tide to the old pact…
God never commanded us to tithe. The command to tithe was given to ancient Israel, not to the church. Further, the command was for them to tithe their agricultural crops, flocks and herds. They were never commanded to tithe their money.
True. The laws of tithing were abolished in the NT, and replaced with another one—where we can give much more than tithes (i.e. as much as we want).
The principles of giving and receiving remain forever.
“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”.
2 Cor 9:6-8 (KJV).
@Ajp religion and many Christian religious leaders makes us away from the truth gospel. Prosperity’s gospel is so wrong it is mammon. Devil spirits is everywhere to deceive us. Just rest in Him the Lord of sabbath, He will give you peace.
@Darius here in India, all the people are made to believe that minimum one tenth has to be given to the church and in addition if you want more blessings, you have to give more…..
I practice tithing at 1.5 year ago… amazingly God showers His blessings abundantly, sometimes i just breath so deep to thank Him his faithfulness to me.
Michelle Cadiz
My friend, If you give generously then you will be blessed by God for being that kind (see 2 Cor. 9:6– “he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully”). It is not because of your tithe that God has given you back the increase and blessed you, it is because of your love and generosity. You see, if the churches today will practice tithing, we will be disqualified from the principles and practicality of the commandment. What we give to the church that we deemed as tithes are not the increase of the land from where the people in the Bible got their tithes from. We took it from our salary. Our salary is not the increase of the seed (or crop) that the land brought forth every year (see Deut. 14:22). Salary in Bible is called wage(s), and nowhere in the Bible that believers are commanded to give tithe from their wages. I will not discuss further the practice of tithing in the Old Testament. I will rather explain why tithing in the churches today is a violation of the precepts of giving in 2 Cor. 9:6-8. A tithe literally means a tenth portion of a whole (or 10%). If we give lesser than 10% it is definitely not a tithe; and neither it is if we give more. A tithe is a tithe (10%) in its definition, and it is what it is; hence I said that it violates the principles of giving in 2 Cor. 9:6-8. The apostle Paul writes— “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver”(v.7). So if we practice tithing then we will be violating the pretext of giving as we “PURPOSETH IN OUR HEARTS”. Why? Because if a believer wants to give more than he ought to tithe then it’s a violation of the tithing rule. It’s not 10% anymore if you give more than you ought to tithe, nor it is tithing when you are giving less. In context, tithing only limits the giver of his ability and generosity to give. The giver cannot give more than 10% if he wishes. Whereas, if he follows the giving principles of 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, he can even give 20% or more, or whatever he wishes to give from his abundance. You see now why tithing cannot be practiced in the church today? Because it violates the giving principles of 2 Cor. 9:6-8, which is giving according to what our hearts desire.
I know what u are saying is completely true! Yrs ago I started tithing consistently & I started getting more favor little by little! One day GOD let me know if I’m as faithful as Abraham I can be as blessed as Abraham! Praise GOD!!!
When the Israelites left Egypt, they left with Egypt’s wealth and yet the law specifically wanted tithes only from that which grew from the ground including herd and flocks without mentioning silver, gold, or shekels. Notice that Leviticus never said who to give the tithe to. This is because the Israelites had no permanent land on which to settle or to raise cattle. Based on the instructions in Leviticus, the tithe consisted of a tenth of the agricultural products from the land and the tenth clean animal from the herds and flocks. If a farmer in Israel had no increase, he did not tithe from the herds or flocks because it had to be the tenth animal that passed under the Shepherd’s rod. The ninth, eighth, or seventh animal and so on could not be tithed because the tenth animal was identified as the official tithe God wanted, not 10 percent of the herds or flocks. So when people say “whether” in the text is inclusive of money, it is false because the original language did not indicate a Hebrew word for money as a tithe in Leviticus 27:30-33. When preachers teach or preach on tithing, they argue that the term “whether” is important because they interpret “whether” to include money. Scholars who have done in depth biblical research have always understood the tithe’s origin as food. Leviticus 27:30 says, “Whether the seed of the land or fruit of the tree, it is the Lord’s.” In this context, whether is defined as an extension that includes money. While that sounds good, it is not sound teaching because the word whether is not a part of the original language. So that you don’t get fooled, this technique is called homiletics. Homiletics in Greek is “homiletikos” or “homilos.” It means to assemble, to put many pieces together as in the art and craft of preaching. This is taught in seminary to future pastors and ministers of the church.
What Does the Word Tithe Mean? The Revell Bible Dictionary defines the tithe as “The contribution of one-tenth of one’s crops and livestock required in the Old Testament for sacred purposes.”11 Unlike Webster’s Dictionary, this definition specifically addresses the context of Leviticus and does not add an additional meaning by insinuating that Israel paid tithes in kind—that is money. Some people who tithe money mistakenly believe that any amount of money or percentage given to a Church represents a biblical tithe. The problem is, no percentage of money whether from 0 to 100 percent represents a tithe according to what God requires. Halley’s Bible Handbook defines tithe as, “One-tenth of the produce of the land and of the increase of flocks and herds was to be given to God; this is called the tithe.” 12 There is no confusion with this definition because the author, Henry Halley, does not “try to force the text to mean something that fits his existing belief or understanding of a particular issue or doctrine.” 13 The two definitions properly define the tithe by pulling out of the text the context of what is there instead of reading or forcing into the text what is clearly not stated in the Scripture. There is no superimposing a pre-existing theological bent onto the text, but if one does, that would be applying an interpretation process called eisegesis. That means, interpreting the text in ways that conform to a predisposed theological bent by imposing one’s ideas onto the text and explaining it in a different way from what the original writer intended. However, Halley also argues that tithing one-tenth of all income is God’s command for Christians based on the book of Malachi. Halley correctly defines the tithe of Leviticus;
The Word, no Munroe’s teaching. He just made all of this up as he went along. Just in case you missed it he said repeatedly, 2hrs 40 mins is a tenth of 24hrs, this is wrong. His math was wrong, 2.4hrs is 2hrs 24 mins. His theology was far worst. What scriptures did be use to support his position?
This is so on point even though av found it late,I came to realize each time I don’t tithe I end up misusing my salary,am never able to account for it,but each time I give wholeheartedly I find myself receiving favours from God, sometimes someone just give me money or buys me something I needed without me asking..holy Spirit convict me each time I don’t tithe
@Michael Christian
Do you see how tithing destroys the principle of giving given to us by the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8? If you follow the principle of tithing, you will only be limited to giving not more or not less than 10% of your resources. Because it’s not tithing if you give less, and neither it is if you give more than 10%. You will be stuck to just 10% all the time. If we follow the giving principles of 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, whether we give much or little than 10%, it doesn’t matter (“so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity”). Because it’s not the gift or the money we give that counts, but our generosity and love towards the ministry. And do you think that God needs our money to sustain his ministry? The Lord said that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church (Matthew 16:18). How much of lesser value your tithes or your money can help the church grow then? Think about that.
@Chi Ni Mon We are saved by grace not by work. Anything on top of that is a false doctrine. Jesus did not die on the cross in vain. He died for your sines.
I never knew that He wants me to manage 10% so that He can trust me 90% that got my attention, Glory to Him… Am happy He opened my eyes in this point now through you man of God.. Thanks..
@Michael Christian – Yep, to be obligated to give help to those who don’t have how to have food..
WHY? To be a FIGURE of what The Holy Spirit would teach all those who receive Him inside. Starting with all those who are The Creator’s family…
Not to sustain a denomination nor any faith mercenary…
…and never expecting to receive something in return.
The late Dr Myles Munroe cared a great deal about money. Also notice he gave no references to back his teaching. One more thing, a tenth of 24hrs is not 2hrs and 40mins it’s 2hrs and 24mins.
Tithing ; together with the whole Law of Moses , was ONLY given , to the Nation of Israel. and … NEVER for Gentiles .just read Psalm 147 verses 19 and 20.

@Zauna Ann Hewling 1 Corinthians 2:12 is a very reassuring verse, however I don’t see the tithing connection. The bible has many scriptures concerning tithing. Just a quick overview, tithing was for the Nation of Israel. Tithes were crops and animals, not money or time.

Michael Christian the scripture that came to mind is 1 Cor. 2:12.
Please provide scripture to support your view on tithing. Thanks.
C. I think we should pay 10% to the church we attend but we are also to be generous and help other charities and organizations with our 90%
@Victoria Davis You have no idea of what you are talking about. Read the Bible in deepth. The tribe of Levi did not have inheritance (land). That s why God commanded the other 11 tribes of Israel to tithe to the tribe of Levi. Tithe was paid in crops, olive oil, wine and livestock not money.

@No Matusi Your money/oil,wine,livestock is a representation of you time/life….
Monetary tithe is a false doctrine. Tithe of paid in farm produce, oil, wine and livestock.
Pay your tithes to the poor and needy. When we clothe feed and shelter the needy we do it onto christ. Our saviour. We r under the new covernant.
@Wisdom for Dominion so what does that mean? I mean no disrespect. But in this video, you are saying to tithe. But in your response to this comment, youre saying otherwise….please help me understand.
@Alex Atuh Absolutely
@dd kaye tithe is the baseline but we ought to give sacrificially. 2 Cor 9 will guide us.
Could you give me scripture please that back up what you are saying…..

2 Cor 9:6-8 (KJV).
I have seen the blessings from tithing compared to when not tithing. It’s truly amazing. God’s promises are true. Tithe with money, hours, crops etc.
@Ajp religion and many Christian religious leaders makes us away from the truth gospel. Prosperity’s gospel is so wrong it is mammon. Devil spirits is everywhere to deceive us. Just rest in Him the Lord of sabbath, He will give you peace.

@Luke 24:46-47 Tithe is not money? Don’t twist the scripture. Understand the text properly.
@Ajp lol.
Don’t be a liar. Does tithe mean only 10% required for God purpose?
I practice tithing at 1.5 year ago… amazingly God showers His blessings abundantly, sometimes i just breath so deep to thank Him his faithfulness to me.

I will rather explain why tithing in the churches today is a violation of the precepts of giving in 2 Cor. 9:6-8. A tithe literally means a tenth portion of a whole (or 10%). If we give lesser than 10% it is definitely not a tithe; and neither it is if we give more. A tithe is a tithe (10%) in its definition, and it is what it is; hence I said that it violates the principles of giving in 2 Cor. 9:6-8. The apostle Paul writes— “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver”(v.7). So if we practice tithing then we will be violating the pretext of giving as we “PURPOSETH IN OUR HEARTS”. Why? Because if a believer wants to give more than he ought to tithe then it’s a violation of the tithing rule. It’s not 10% anymore if you give more than you ought to tithe, nor it is tithing when you are giving less. In context, tithing only limits the giver of his ability and generosity to give. The giver cannot give more than 10% if he wishes. Whereas, if he follows the giving principles of 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, he can even give 20% or more, or whatever he wishes to give from his abundance. You see now why tithing cannot be practiced in the church today? Because it violates the giving principles of 2 Cor. 9:6-8, which is giving according to what our hearts desire.
I know what u are saying is completely true! Yrs ago I started tithing consistently & I started getting more favor little by little! One day GOD let me know if I’m as faithful as Abraham I can be as blessed as Abraham! Praise GOD!!!
Amen..
God bless you!
The word along with the illustration was so AWESOME! Thank you so much!
@J Dil good job brother, rightly dividing the word. Too bad, people listen to slick talkers rather than the word of God.
What’s the real definition of tithing?
When the Israelites left Egypt, they left with Egypt’s wealth and yet the law specifically wanted tithes only from that which grew from the ground including herd and flocks without mentioning silver, gold, or shekels. Notice that Leviticus never said who to give the tithe to. This is because the Israelites had no permanent land on which to settle or to raise cattle. Based on the instructions in Leviticus, the tithe consisted of a tenth of the agricultural products from the land and the tenth clean animal from the herds and flocks. If a farmer in Israel had no increase, he did not tithe from the herds or flocks because it had to be the tenth animal that passed under the Shepherd’s rod. The ninth, eighth, or seventh animal and so on could not be tithed because the tenth animal was identified as the official tithe God wanted, not 10 percent of the herds or flocks. So when people say “whether” in the text is inclusive of money, it is false because the original language did not indicate a Hebrew word for money as a tithe in Leviticus 27:30-33. When preachers teach or preach on tithing, they argue that the term “whether” is important because they interpret “whether” to include money. Scholars who have done in depth biblical research have always understood the tithe’s origin as food. Leviticus 27:30 says, “Whether the seed of the land or fruit of the tree, it is the Lord’s.” In this context, whether is defined as an extension that includes money. While that sounds good, it is not sound teaching because the word whether is not a part of the original language. So that you don’t get fooled, this technique is called homiletics. Homiletics in Greek is “homiletikos” or “homilos.” It means to assemble, to put many pieces together as in the art and craft of preaching. This is taught in seminary to future pastors and ministers of the church.
What Does the Word Tithe Mean? The Revell Bible Dictionary defines the tithe as “The contribution of one-tenth of one’s crops and livestock required in the Old Testament for sacred purposes.”11 Unlike Webster’s Dictionary, this definition specifically addresses the context of Leviticus and does not add an additional meaning by insinuating that Israel paid tithes in kind—that is money. Some people who tithe money mistakenly believe that any amount of money or percentage given to a Church represents a biblical tithe. The problem is, no percentage of money whether from 0 to 100 percent represents a tithe according to what God requires. Halley’s Bible Handbook defines tithe as, “One-tenth of the produce of the land and of the increase of flocks and herds was to be given to God; this is called the tithe.” 12 There is no confusion with this definition because the author, Henry Halley, does not “try to force the text to mean something that fits his existing belief or understanding of a particular issue or doctrine.” 13 The two definitions properly define the tithe by pulling out of the text the context of what is there instead of reading or forcing into the text what is clearly not stated in the Scripture. There is no superimposing a pre-existing theological bent onto the text, but if one does, that would be applying an interpretation process called eisegesis. That means, interpreting the text in ways that conform to a predisposed theological bent by imposing one’s ideas onto the text and explaining it in a different way from what the original writer intended. However, Halley also argues that tithing one-tenth of all income is God’s command for Christians based on the book of Malachi. Halley correctly defines the tithe of Leviticus;
The Word, no Munroe’s teaching. He just made all of this up as he went along. Just in case you missed it he said repeatedly, 2hrs 40 mins is a tenth of 24hrs, this is wrong. His math was wrong, 2.4hrs is 2hrs 24 mins. His theology was far worst. What scriptures did be use to support his position?
This is so on point even though av found it late,I came to realize each time I don’t tithe I end up misusing my salary,am never able to account for it,but each time I give wholeheartedly I find myself receiving favours from God, sometimes someone just give me money or buys me something I needed without me asking..holy Spirit convict me each time I don’t tithe
No Matusi
My friend; with all respect to your last statement; can you give your reference that we are saved by grace and not by works?
@Michael Christian
Do you see how tithing destroys the principle of giving given to us by the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8? If you follow the principle of tithing, you will only be limited to giving not more or not less than 10% of your resources. Because it’s not tithing if you give less, and neither it is if you give more than 10%. You will be stuck to just 10% all the time. If we follow the giving principles of 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, whether we give much or little than 10%, it doesn’t matter (“so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity”). Because it’s not the gift or the money we give that counts, but our generosity and love towards the ministry. And do you think that God needs our money to sustain his ministry? The Lord said that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church (Matthew 16:18). How much of lesser value your tithes or your money can help the church grow then? Think about that.
@Raphael thank you brother, well said.
@No Matusi then accept is his new covenant
@Chi Ni Mon We are saved by grace not by work. Anything on top of that is a false doctrine. Jesus did not die on the cross in vain. He died for your sines.
I never knew that He wants me to manage 10% so that He can trust me 90% that got my attention, Glory to Him… Am happy He opened my eyes in this point now through you man of God.. Thanks..
For all of you arguing am laughing cos you won’t understand nothing here. It takes a spiritual mind to get everything been said here
@Michael Christian it’s not
All I know is these churches are worth billions and there are people starving…………………….
@Michael Christian Malachi 3:10 -12
@Michael Christian – Yep, to be obligated to give help to those who don’t have how to have food..
WHY? To be a FIGURE of what The Holy Spirit would teach all those who receive Him inside. Starting with all those who are The Creator’s family…
Not to sustain a denomination nor any faith mercenary…
…and never expecting to receive something in return.
Finally. Someone who gets it! God cares NOTHING about money. It has NOTHING to do with money. Wonderful sermon dear sir. WONDERFUL sermon.
The late Dr Myles Munroe cared a great deal about money. Also notice he gave no references to back his teaching. One more thing, a tenth of 24hrs is not 2hrs and 40mins it’s 2hrs and 24mins.
I am not sure How many of us talked about the tithe in Time (2.4 Hours)…
Hope If we spent this time on God’s presence all other things will be sorted out.
@Krystal Guillen you’re welcome
@Michael Christian You’re right, sir! Thank you for clearing it up! 🙂 God bless
2.4 hrs is 2hrs 24mins not 2hrs 40 mins.
AMEN 🙏 I agree
Forgive me GOD have Mercy on my soul I’m not taking time out to pray each day
Pastors get all creative when comes to tithing. . . unbelievable!!
Tithing ; together with the whole Law of Moses , was ONLY given , to the Nation of Israel. and … NEVER for Gentiles .just read Psalm 147 verses 19 and 20.
Jesus was the tithe. Jesus is the end of the law. . Good scripture right on!
Boooo! This is not scriptural! Again man’s doctrines & traditions!
This will definitely change my mind set about tithing
