Pastor Paul Adefarasin's teaching on the very controversial topic, Tithing,
in church today. Read the excerpts as shared by Makua Eyisi on his Facebook
wall below
'Today, for the first time (in my hearing), My
Pastor taught us about Tithing from the New Testament point of view and it was
awesome.
Here are excerpts;
You don’t have to pay tithe in this new
covenant.
Tithing will not make you a Millionaire.
You don’t pay tithe to be blessed. You are already blessed. Tithing is a faith response to the blessing.

Abraham paid tithe after he was blessed not so
that he would be blessed.
Abraham paid tithe to Melchidezek who was a high priest. We pay to Christ who is also our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Tithing is an honour system. It began before the
law. In the law, if you don’t pay, you are cursed. In this new covenant era,
even if you don’t pay, there is no curse. There is no curse for the Child of
God in Christ. Only blessings.
He added; I don’t like teaching Tithing to
babies. That’s not what they need. They need Christ and more of him for when
they become mature, Tithing will not be an issue for them. They know the source
of their wealth.
Faith without works is dead. He who does not
work, let him not eat. Work.
Read Hebrews 5, 7 and more. We opened plenty
scriptures today.
It’s good to have a Pastor who understands the
Bible but it’s better to have a Pastor who is intelligent as well.
Church was beautiful today. Awesome from start
to end.
