Why You Must

Pay Your Tithes Or Thrites

The Earth Is God’s Own Farm

The world is God’s own farm. All the vegetation in the world, including those places humanity call bushes and forests are gardens carefully planned, cultivated and maintained by the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven . That is why the angels are sometimes called The Gardeners Of The Earth.

Therefore, what is inside the earth belongs to God and not to yourselves. The Holy Book makes this fact clear in Psalm 24, saying,

The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,

The world and those who dwell therein.

For He has founded it upon the seas,

And established it upon the waters.

The Earth Is Also A School

The earth is also a school for the teaching and training of the children of God. You enter the school by birth, leave it at death and come back to it through reincarnation.

To obey God or your fellow human being?

It is up to you to choose whether to obey God or your fellow human being, who is also a learner as yourself. God knows all, He is omniscient, but man knows little or nothing. God knows the past, present and future. He knows what are important in your life and He knows you more than you know yourself. And the best path in your life is obedience to the word of God.

What God Said About Gifts And Offerings And Tithes

“But you shall seek the place where the Lord your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place; and there you shall go. There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes , the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all to which you have put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.”

From the above reference, you learn the following loosens:

1. The place where to bring your gifts, offerings and tithes.

2. The various types gifts and offerings which you should give to God.

3. You shall do so with joyfulness and gladness of heart, willingly and readily.

4. You shall partake in eating the gifts and offerings, because the house of God is a banquet hall, a place of dinning and winning.

5. You shall rejoice in your blessings, favours, success and prosperity, because God has blessed you and the works of your hands.

God’s Rebuke And Demand

"Will a man rob God?

Yet you have robbed Me!

But you say,

'In what way have we robbed You?'

In tithes and offerings.

You are cursed with a curse,

For you have robbed Me,

Even this whole nation.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,

That there may be food in My house,

And try Me now in this,"

Says the Lord of hosts,

"If I will not open for you the windows of heaven

And pour out for you such blessing

That there will not be room enough to receive it.

And you have to bring your gifts and offerings and tithes with joyfulness and gladness of heart. “And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.”

What Jesus Christ said

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

“For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.”

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”

Be A Wise Child

Use your earthly wealth to gain heavenly life, treasures and pleasures.

"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?

Now Is The Time To Avoid Future Regrets

What if you do not pay tithes, you do not give gifts and offerings, and when you get to heaven you discover that these things are compulsory?

What shall you do?

By then, it is too late to do so, because you can no longer come back to the world to do what you should have done?

It is better to lose here on earth and gain in heaven; than to gain here on earth, and lose in heaven.

Exchange Is Compulsory In Life

The law of exchange is compulsory. You will not just go and take whatever you want without paying for it. That is why you must give to get, and also get to give. If you want to be receiving from people, you must also be giving to people.

That is why both economics and commerce by humanity were based on trade by barter. Nothing goes for nothing.

And that is why everybody has his own give-and-take account, which must be balanced. If you are always receiving without giving, you shall reincarnate to pay for the excesses you take from humanity by living a poor and wretched life. And if you are the type that is always giving without receiving, you shall reincarnate in such a place and time that you shall become excessively rich and wealthy, because the heaven does not owe any person. Even so, unfailingly.

Swapping Of Positions

The father who labours so much to care and provide for his family shall reincarnate as the last born, so that others will serve him much; while the last born who is always lazy, idle and useless shall reincarnate as father or mother, in order to render many services and benefits to others.

The master reincarnates as the servant, while the servant reincarnates as the master. The strong nations become weak nations, while the weak nations become the strong nations and fortified cities. Even so, the table goes round in all areas of life.

Rise And Fall Of Nations

If you study the history of the world, you discover that one nation rises after another. By so doing, the bully nations become subjected to the same maltreatment in their future reincarnations, while the bullied nations reincarnate in such places and times that make them very important personalities, who are honoured, respected and obeyed.

Tithe

Why Many Are Having Failures

Head: A mystery about all the created things is that everything has both physical and spiritual aspects, both physical and spiritual bodies. The spiritual body indwells the physical body. Usually, people see the physical object without seeing the spiritual body. You may have something, physically. But spiritually, the same thing is not with you or is very far away from you. That you have something physically does not necessarily mean that you have the same thing spiritually.

That is why people encounter scarcity, shortages, lack, failures and ineffectiveness. They have something, but that thing is useless or wasteful, causing unnecessary expenses, problems or burdens. This is because the spiritual aspect which is the main thing that will do what people want is not there. That is why, sometimes, patients keep on receiving treatments without ny improvement in cure or health. And that is why many people are seeking for money, but many are not making money.

Humanity do not know that all the created things are living things. They are intelligent, sensitive and responsive. Sensitive in the sense that they know what is happening around them, and can react, respond to stimulus. As you come close to something, to take it, it already knows whether you are a child of God or not; whether you shall use it in the right way or not. Therefore, it will make itself available to the good user, or hide itself from the wrong user. You may take it home, pluck its fruits or leaves, but they shall not be any use and benefits to you, even so without your knowing it.

A Spirit Eats Foods Drinks Liquids

Head: Wrongly, people claim that God does not eat yam or goat. They forget that every created thing is both an object and a spirit. As humanity do eat the physical foods and drinks, even so the spirits eat the spiritual foods and drinks.

That is why, the women who belong to marine Kingdoms can finish a basin of food or a pot of soup alone, in one eating. When she sits down to eat, other marine spirits come up from the waters, to eat with her.

Other Important Considerations

1. Sometimes, when you asked to do something, you may be asked to do it not just for the sake of doing it.

2. It may be to know how serious and responsible you are or can be.

3. It may be a test, an examination or an assignment to determine how knowledgeable you are; how competent you are; how trustworthy you are; or how fast you are.

4. It shows whether you shall be able to start, continue and complete a given task in heaven and on earth. The successful start, steadfast continuation and the eventual completion of the work means that you shall be able to occupy a throne in heaven and rule over a kingdom. That is why here in the DivineBase Ministry, you are being trained with the principle that a person, who starts work, shall continue the work and complete the work.

While The oppositions Is Raging On

Many religious leaders, ministers of God, reverend fathers and bishops are now speaking against the payment of gifts and offerings, tithes and trithes, first fruits and others.

For examples:

Dr Pastor Abel Damina – “Payment of tithe is fraud.” But, he did not sell his church and properties to refund all the tithes, gifts and offerings which peoples paid to him.

Evangelist Ebuka Obi – “Do not pay tithes, because it is fraud.” Yet, he organized a programme where he collected billions and billions and billions and millions of money from multitudes.

Adeboye – “I apologize for saying that if you do not pay your tithes, you will not make heaven. But now you have to pay violently up to 30%, 40% or more.”

Catholic Bishops – “You pay tithes in various ways by supporting the works and projects in the church.”

Ordinary People - Speaking and acting comedies on the social networks, condemning the payment of tithes, gifts and offerings and first fruits, etc.

The Question

Why do people condemn what God says,

and still go on to do the same thing in a different way?

They are confessing God in their words, but deny Him in all their actions. Therefore, they are hypocrites and noisemakers.

Many Years Of Hardship, Hunger And Sufferings

While the opposition was raging on:

1. I remember the ten years I suffered hunger and hardship, while doing the work of God, from 1990 to 2000. The hardship and hunger would not have been there, if people were paying their tithes enough. Every day, I would happily go to work, from morning till the evening. Only to return home late in the evening and see that there was food at home. The many days of hunger were so much that, I still remember, clearly, how I used to get up from the bed in the mornings. I would manage to stand up, only to fall back immediately into the bed, as if I had no bones, and because I had no strength.

2. I remembered again another ten years of eating only bread. Bread, bread and bread. Only bread because there was no foods to eat, and because there was no money. Until one woman said to me, “See your nails, they are as white as snow.” I looked at my nails then, and was shocked to see them as white as snow, when they supposed to be reddish and full of blood.

3. I remembered and considered, though without regrets, of my current condition of inability to purchase any meaningful property for the last 10 years, white in the Lord’s ministry.

In addition to:

1. Over 4 million naira debt, which we gradually paid off from time to time, with a balance debt of 600,000 naira.

2. Over 1.7 million naira debt waiting to be paid, concerning ministers’ quarters.

3. Over 400,000 naira debt on ministers’ welfare, owing various shops here and there.

4. About 200,000 naira debt on rent.

5. Ministers of God lacking money for food, treatments, rents and unable to send their children to school.

Very Importantly

1. Yahweh’s Temple, the Third Temple, is not yet built, since 2012, over 12 years in waiting, because people were not paying tithes and not making contributions.

2. Yahweh’s Tabernacle, not yet built, over 12 years in waiting.

3. Yahweh’s House Of Meeting with Tent Of Meeting, not yet built, over 12 years in waiting.

4. Holy of Holies not yet built, over 12 years in waiting.

5. Many ministers of God coming for training and going away, because there was no money or provisions for their feeding, welfare and training.

6. Numerous and various gifts and offerings, including burnt sacrifices in debt, because the Christians are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.

7. Inability to typeset the Yahweh’s Book Of Life and complete the numerous graphic designs of covers, pictures, drawings involved.

8. Seeing various properties of God decaying and wasting, because there was no money to maintain them.

9. Etc.

Crossing The Limits

The opposition to the payments of tithes or thrites is steadily gaining supporters, many advocates and many people are now accusing the religious leaders and minister of God. Some are even threatening to hold violent protests, while others are demanding that all the various types of religious leaders and minister of God should apologize to humanity, for telling people to pay tithes.

By so doing, many people are crossing the limits of their powers and authorities.

Who is man that he should demand an account from the religious leaders and minister of God?

Why should an ordinary person, stand in the midst of humanity, to demand and dictate how to serve and worship?

Expenditures Are Necessary In All Areas Of Life

From the small things you learn about the big things of life. In every personal life, you are making necessary expenditures from day to day. Even so, more on the families because several people are involved. In the same way, many things are necessary in the house of God, from day to day, from week to week, from month to month and from year to year. Many expenses have to be made, and many provisos have to be made available and ready. All these necessities can only be possible and available if people bring their tithes, thrites, gifts, offerings and burnt sacrifices.

Failed Ministers Of God

Humanity should know the reason why the number of the religious leaders and ministers of God are on the increase, especially in the present and modern generations. The reason is that many people who should have done God’s works in their previous lifetimes failed to do their works. And many more people who are currently living here on earth, by now, who supposed to be doing God’s work are not doing so.

In other words, many of those people campaigning against tithes and offerings are still going to do God’s work, either in this their present lifetime or in their future lifetimes. They are now making the work of God to become very hard and difficult for themselves, and for their children and children's children, in the future, because they are making people not to pay tithes and not to bring gifts and offerings. They are digging pits and gullies, into which themselves and their children and children's children shall fall into, without any people to help them.

Why Many More Financial Assistance Is Necessary

During the time of Holy Moses, the Israelites provided for the only one tribe of Levi, who were in-charge of the Temple, prayers and worship, and services and ministrations, at the altar. The present and modern generations must not complain because they are providing for few religious leaders and ministers of God, in their various churches, ministries and fellowships. They have not even done half of what the Israelites were doing, by providing for one whole tribe, for their children of the Levites, for their children's children and for their servants.

At the time of Holy Moses, only the priests and Levites were needed. When Jesus Christ came, He raised the Apostles, Disciples and Saints, and commissioned them to spread the Gospel Of Truth And Salvation to all the ends of the earth. With the addition of Apostles, Disciples and Saints, and many other types and levels ministers of God, the provisions of foods and other essentials have become all the more important and even heavier.

The burden of providing for the numerous religious leaders and ministers of God, is made easy, because of the increasing teeming world populations of humanity. When everybody contributes the much he supposed to contribute, the work becomes easy. But where majority refuse to contribute, the work becomes a heavy and unbearable burdens on the few obedient people of God.

Therefore, do not fold your hands and feel less concerned because there is such work and help needed. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Whoever that is not a friend in need and indeed, must be a hypocrite and untrustworthy.

Grievous Consequences

For the time being, the majority who are condemning and criticizing gifts, offerings and tithes are taking a destructive road to their future. They shall not be able to bear the full anger and wrath of Glory of God Almighty.

And they shall not be able to bear the consequences of their actions, neither in the future nor in their future reincarnations. They are destining themselves to poverty and wretchedness, out of which they shall not be able to come of.

Nobody has the power and authority or right to dictate how to worship God. Even the religious leaders and minister of God do not dictate for God what should be done. Instead, they receive instructions and orders from God Almighty.
