It is not a choice between God and using your head.Who has ever said you can't do both. Like you said, by their fruits ye shall know them. If a priest says we should be alert and pray to avoid any mishap. If you think as well,common sense too does tell us, in a polarized society full of machiavellian characters, we need to be extremely careful at a time like this. Not all priest are good but fortunately we have eyes to see their fruits

The B.C books of old testament, for instance; kings, deutoronomy,exodus and leviticus are experiences of the land of Juda currently named Israel. These books are in the bible to give lessons on the creator, how he behaves, thinks and do to nations and their citizens on life actions taking against each other. The books are not made for the powers on earth to show of how the creator sees them. Therefore all nations on earth can learn somthing to remind themselves of powers above them. The name Afriyie cannever be a beast, but blessed in meaning in royal Ashanti/ Akan CULTURE from kumasi-Oseikrom, Ghana West Africa. Almost all the people of the Lord Jesus Christ were demoized in some form, according to the history of the gospel of salvation. Even the old testament messangers were demonized by the general public into their glory in the Lord.

I read some of these comments and just get upset. Why do Europeans not pray for peace when they hold elections or have key decisions before the courts? Is it not the Europeans that brought christianity to Ghana? Please, lets stop the BULLSHIT and LAZINESS and start to use our BRAINS. PRAYER IS NOT THE ANSWER. The people of Ghana have to be tolerant, the judges have to be honest and that is it. There is no need for prayer here.

TITHES-WHAT THEY HIDE FROM YOU
...............................

No topic excites many pastors more than tithes and tithing. Waxing eloquent, pastors with fiery zeal, would teach about how if you pay tithes God would bless you. How your business would flourish, how you would find that rich husband and how all would go well in your life. Blessings would flow like the Jordan River and life would be a bed of hibiscus petals. Conversely, you are also threatened and psychologically terrorized for not paying tithes- there would be no breakthroughs in your life, God would take away from you. Nothing would go well for you. Worst of all, you would be cursed by God because you have stolen from Him. Like the mighty spear of Goliath, Malachi 3:10 is launched at your heart.

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse - the whole nation of you - because you are robbing me." (Malachi 3:8, 9)

This verse has been used to intimidate many Christians into shelling out 10% of their income as tithes. It is probably the only verse in the Bible that many pastors quote when preaching about tithes. Other verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy that shed more light on the issue are almost never mentioned. Church members are kept in the dark by design.

Was God rebuking the nation of Israel or the nation of levitical priests in Malachi? Malachi 2:1, explains further,"And this commandment is for you, O priests." God was actually rebuking the Levites for abusing the trust of the people. God is a spirit and does not need food but He wanted the poor to be fed. The Levites were the ones under a curse. Christ broke the curse of the law, so Christians cannot be under a curse today for not obeying the law of tithes.

Who received tithes?

Tithe was God’s way of specifically taking care of the poor Levites, orphans, widows, strangers in Israel. This was the only reason God wanted food in his house. God does not need food.
Deuteronomy 26:12, clearly states that when all the tithe is collected “then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger to the orphan, and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.”
Deuteronomy 14:28-29 New International Version (NIV) "bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands."
Did Jesus, Mathew and Paul receive tithes?

Jesus was from the line of Judah so could not receive tithes. Only Levites from the line of Levi could receive tithes. Though the twelve apostles were men of God, they could not receive tithes because of their tribal lineage. How then can pastors today ask for tithes? Are they Levites? If the apostle Paul is not a Levite so could not take tithes why are some pastors taking tithes? The fact that one is a man of God does not qualify one to receive tithes. Even prophets and other men of God in the Bible, not from the tribe of Levi, could not benefit from tithes.

Did Jesus and his apostles pay tithes?

Tithe was never taken in fish or silver or cash. Paul as a tent-maker was not required to pay tithes. Peter as a fisherman did not pay tithes on fish he caught. That was the law of God. None of the twelve apostles could pay tithes because they were not farmers or shepherds/ herders.

Did Abraham, Noah and Jacob pay tithes?

Abraham did not pay tithes. He gave ten percent of the spoils of war to Melchizedek, King of Salem. God did not command Abraham to give. It was from his free will. Abraham did not tithe from his personal property, and there is no record in the Bible that he did.

Jacob also gave a conditional 10% to God which was not a tithe.
There is no record of Jacob paying any tithes after this. The traditional 10% in Middle Eastern societies is different from the legalistic mosaic tithe from God. The mosaic tithe was not optional, it was the law.

Without tithes, the message of the Gospel could not be preached

God in His infinite wisdom asked for tithes to be used for the poor and needy. God did not request tithes to be used for pastor's salary, cars, church organ or choir robes. God explicitly said use it to feed the poor Levites and the orphans, widows and strangers.

God does not need tithes to spread His word. The apostles gave their lives to spread the gospel of Christ without taking tithes from anyone. Many churches function perfectly today without tithes. We cannot disobey God with the excuse that we are spreading the gospel.

Even if you are poor, unemployed and struggling financially, now is the time to pay your tithes.

Nooooo!!! This is twisting and misquoting the Bible because we want to take money from the poor. The Bible says do not take tithes from the poor and needy. The poor are to benefit from the tithes. They are to be given tithes. Telling the poor to pay tithes, with promises that God would open the windows of heaven and pour blessings on them is a big con game.

The Bible says those with less than ten goats or sheep were exempted from paying tithes. God did not take tithes from the poor. Telling the poor and needy that if they don't pay tithes God has cursed them is the ultimate in greed and callousness.
Some pastors tell poor church members to pay tithes before their rent or children’s school fees and expect miracles. Some tell the congregation not to worry about what the tithe is used for. They say to just pay the tithes and leave the rest to God.

Would paying tithes make you rich and prosperous?

The promise of breakthroughs and prosperity and material blessings is used as a bait to make many pour their hard-earned money into the bank accounts of some pastors. This is nothing but manipulation. If the gospel of Christ is about acquiring earthly possessions how come the apostle Paul was not rich? How come John the Baptist, Peter, John and the other apostles did not get financial breakthroughs? Many of Christ's apostles were persecuted and killed. Life was not rosy for them. Were they not blessed men of God? If you believe pastors who tell you that you would prosper financially if you pay tithes, then you need serious Bible study. People like Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, LeBron James etc. are very wealthy, but they do not pay tithes, they are not even Christians. If you believe paying tithes would open gates to riches for you, then you are in for great disappointment and cannot carry the cross of Christ.

Should I give to my church?

Yes, absolutely! Give to the church. Your offering helps the church a lot. Paul spoke about supporting the church. But give from your heart to God and expect nothing in return. Give because you love God. It is free-will, not a binding law like tithing. God had a special purpose for the tithes. It was to feed the poor and needy in society. It was to take care of the Levites who were poor, not wealthy pastors who have mansions, fancy cars and are far richer than most in the congregation

Should Christians pay tithes today?

Jesus and his apostles did not pay tithes, neither did they accept tithes. The Pharisees obeyed all the 613 mosaic laws, so they paid tithes. Today, Christians are not under the law, so we do not follow the Mosaic Law, as we are under grace and not the law. How come so much emphasis is laid on only tithes but not the other 613 laws? If we have to pay tithes then we have to follow all the laws, like the Pharisees. When a child disobeys the parent, he has to be stoned to death according to the old law. No Christian obeys that law today. However, some hold on to the law of tithing with the might of Samson. Why? Is it the money? The love of money...

Who is killing the church of Christ?

It is unlawful and unbiblical for anyone outside of the tribe of Levi to receive tithes, be they prophets, bishops, arch-bishops or reverend-doctors. Tithe has become the yoke around many Christians’ neck. When the clergy enslaves the masses and amass wealth at the expense of the poor it creates a history of resentment against the church. Many thinking people become suspicious of religion. When leaders of a faith insult the trust of their flock with misinformation and manipulation, the backlash can be unfavorable to all.
The gospel of Christ suffers when boys are molested by clergy just as when money becomes their main focus. Many centuries ago, Martin Luther had to revolt again the leaders of the church who were taking the faithful for fools. You can fool some of the people some of the time but all the people cannot be fooled all the time. At some point Europe woke up.The shady history of the church in Europe has forced many out of Christianity. Today Christianity is dying in Europe. No wonder, a recent pope said, the future of the church is in Africa. Are our pastors robbing God, are they killing the church of Christ?

FASTING AND PRAYING IS NOT THE ANSWER TO GHANA'S PROBLEMS. WE FAST AND PRAY AND SPEAK IN TONGUES ALL THE TIME BUT OUR PROBLEMS REMAIN. AFTER ALL THE PRAYING WE GO TO THE CHINESE AND JAPANESE FOR ASSISTANCE. WE GO BEGGING THE NATIONS THAT DONT PRAY TO HELP US. THE LESSON IS SIMMPLE PRAYING AND FASTING AND PAYING TITHES IS NOT THE ANSWER.

IF THE CHINESE AND THE JAPANESE AND THE GERMANS ARE BLESSED TO BE PROSPEROUS ENOUGH TO HELP US, WE HAVE TO LEARN FROM THEM. WHAT MADE THEM PROSPEROUS. THEY HAVE MORE MONEY, THEY LIVE LONGER AND THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING IS HIGHER. WHAT IS THE SECRET TO THEIR SUCCESS? THE SECRET IS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION , HARD WORK AND USING THE BRAINS GOD BLESSED US WITH.

PRAYERS HAS NOT SOLVED OUR WATER AND ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THE PRAYERS, FASTING, TITHES AND PRAISES, ARE THE PASTORS AND THE SO-CALLED MEN OF GOD. THEY GET RICHER AND FATTER. THEY ENCOURAGE US TO PAY TITHES AND PRAY. .

LET'S LEARN FROM THE CHINESE, JAPANESE AND CANADIANS. THEY DO NOT PRAY TO JESUS. THEY DONT PAY TITHES AND SPEAK IN TONGUES. AFRICANS, WAKE UP! STOP THE LAZINESS! WE CANNOT SLEEP FOREVER! WAKE UP SLEEPING GIANT ! WAKE UP STUPID BLACK PEOPLE !

To answer this question requires extensive geophysical exploration n this takes years n I mean years of exploration. GNPC has been collecting data all these years . The fact that the results of these analysis occure during the time of K4 does not mean that he discovered the oil. That is stupid. Let's grow up n give credit where it is due pls mh folks. Thanks.

Nii, I like your comment. Well said. I will add a little to what you have already said.

You don't need the brains of a rocket scientist to figure out that if a neighboring country like Nigeria has been producing oil for many years, chances are, Ghana may also have oil deposits. "Extensive" geophysical and feasibility studies would then have to be made for a considerable length of time. Case in point is the long known history of the availability of oil deposits in the whole of North America--Canada,US and Mexico. Some of this oil is found in the form of oil sands or tar sands (bituminous deposits) which are very expensive to extract, and it is only recent rise in energy prices which have made such oil extraction a profitable business.

Praying ceaselessly should be a way of life, not because you are praying for "peace in Ghana in spite of the verbal attacks on those who opt for this spiritual path."

Question: Soon the Supreme Court will make known its findings. What would you do if the NDC and NPP amicably settle their differences, and Ghana continues to enjoy peace? Would you stop praying ceaselessly for Ghana?

It is written in the Bible that: "the message of God, is foolishness to those who're perishing." So it's no wonder that the NDC and their kingpins would want to rubbish God's annointed people, like Dr. Mensah Otabil, Rev. Dr. Martey and others.

When I heard Tony Aidoo say that prophesy in the Christiandom, is an obsolete and ancient phenomenon, I was sad for him; I prayed and asked for forgiveness and God's mercies to help open his eyes and mind of understanding.

I wasn't surprised to hear people make comments that Tony Aidoo's utterances and attack on Dr. Otabil smacks of a "weed-smoker" or a lunatic. Well, to me, Tony Aidoo may be a weed smoker but not mentally ill. He's just being stupid.

He should be educated on the priciples of God and how wise people, and nations have triumphed, in times of adversities to become great. That's the power of God! Salvation is free but it's not cheap. By faith, many people, families and nations through prayer and God's word and instructions as revealed by his prophets have become great.

United States of America became a great and powerful nation because the founders of the nation believed in God. Indeed the US nation motto is: "In God We Trust!" It will be suicidal therefore for Tony Aidoo, Asiedu Nketia and their NDC scouts to try to insult renowed Pastors, Prophets and Men of God.

NDC is "Sasabonsam Party" and Ghanaians must watch out! With NDC in power, things fall apart! They always bring chaos and pain to Ghanaians.

So you "men of God" should pray for yourselves so that you stop collecting poor's money and wealth, you cease taking people's wives and braking people's couples. That way you will diminish your sins and expect to enter into heaven

Prayers have never worked anywhere on this earth. Prayers never worked for the Jews who were colonized by the Assirians, the Babylonians, the Greeks and the Romans, and finally driven into diaspora. Prayers never worked for Jesus in Gethsemany or on the cross.

Prayers never worked for the men and women who were publicly burnt alive on firewood by Catholic Inquisitors; Prayers never worked for Africans who were taken into slavery. Prayers never worked for the 10 million Congolese who suffered genocide under King Leopold of Belgium.

Prayers never work for the millions of people of Africa, South America and other tropical parents of the world who see their children die from malaria every year. Prayers never stop the floods, landslides and the fires that decimate human populations all over the world every year.

Prayers are for lazy beggers with no self-respect, no self-esteem and no self-image. Prayers are for hopeless people who suffer from "dependency syndrome". Prayers are only for the irrational uncritical-thinking self-styled bishops, priests, pastors, and men-of-god and the likes of Addae-Mensah who, through deceipt, cunning and subterfuge, enjoy comfortable lifestyles at the expense of ignorant, poor, credulous and gullible people, mostly women.

Addae-Mensah should be ashamed of himself; and his parents, his wife, his church concubines, and his children should be ashamed of him.
