On the issue of tithing.
All of you may see this and get different views, There is just one thing i must point out here. i will prove to you that #DaddyFreeze is not of the believers household and that his actions do not aim to correct the teachings of the church which he sees as wrong, but to allow people from other religions especially Christians who simply put cannot just obey God's Instructions to lay accusing fingers on the Church of God.
Here we Go.
Tithing first and foremost did not begin with the law, Tithing preceded the law. Abraham gave tithes out of intuition not of force or instruction, He did it because he knew he was supposed to acknowledge the source of his wealth. When the law came, the law was meant for men to do by instruction what others had done by intuition.
While Under the law, failure to pay tithe actually attracted a penalty, which simply was the windows of heaven not being opened on your labors and also you would be tagged as a thief in heaven for robbing God., Now let me explain why this is so! This is because it was a law, and where there is no law there is no sin.
But under grace, Jesus Christ is our high priest, he is the one we pay tithes too, how? By offfering our lives, not Just 10% or any per cent, Its offering your lives in totality, if you have offered your lives in totatlity if God says, give all to the widows, you wont argue.

In defense to #DaddyFreeze, Many people now give tithes because they think they commit sin when they dont, no, God wont curse you if you dont give tithe. But this is what tithing does for you,
*Tithing saves you from idolatory (worshipping money in this case)
*Tithing gives you a sense of belief and reverence of God and his Commands.
*Tithing is Gods way of feeding the Levites

Now let me elaborate more on where i percieve the problem is coming from,
From the original design of the church, The only means allocated for Pastors for thier wellbeings were Tithes and offerings of which not all of them should be eaten, some are to be giving to the poor, the widows first then the priets would use the remnane for thier upkeep. Nowadays we have priests who make a fortune out of books, CD's, and all sorts. Seriouslsy its an issue, Pastors are not called to sell CD'd and Books, a church with 2 million members seeling books at N300 each, do you know how much that is, That is more than enough for upkeep. especially for pastors, what makes people look for things to point out to is the luxury lives these pastors leave which contradicts the live the apostles lived, Now does this mean that pastors should be filthy and tattared and unkept?
Not at all, infact they should be taken care of but also as the members of the church are being taken care of.

Why should members of the church contribute to the building of a school by a church and thier members cant afford it, who exaactly was it built for?
I see a real need for a revival in the church of God, We need to see pastors who preach Jesus, look like Jesus, Behave like Jesus, and Live like Jesus in humility and truth.
These are my thoughts on why people like #DaddyFreeze are pointing fingers,
Now in conclusion, is mr Freeze right? Definitely not, he is tottaly wrong in his approach, if he has a problem or needs clarification, let him attend Bible Study classes at any of these churches and ask questions, no one will kill you for that. We are one body and if there is a dispute we can settle it in an orderly manner, not insulting men of God in public.
Infact i must tell you that if care is not taken, This Mr freeze is an agent of distraction to the church, if you see an issuem raise an alarm in the church, not on social media in an insultive manner, i leave with this ..
These are perlious times, many will turn away from the faith..2 Tim 4: 1-7. These are times when men would no longer endure sound doctrine,
These are signs that Jesus is Coming soon, so #DaddyFreeze #DaddyGo#ApostleSuleiman #ChurchOfGod please watch your steps,
