Do Not Give to False Prophets Who Corrupt the Words of God?

God will not bless anyone financially contributing to false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, false brethren, etc. The Apostle Paul warns us in Galatians 1:8-9 of those who preach another Gospel, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Giving to these culprits whether it be a tithe or a financial gift, is enabling their wickedness (sin), which only separates you from your God. God warns us to "turn away" from them! "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (AKJB). In time past Isaiah (59:2) warned the Israelites their sins would separate them from God, "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.", and in John 9:31, God does not hear the prayers of sinners, "Now we know that God heareth not sinners:". Furthermore, the Apostle Paul instructs us to “Mark and Avoid” these false brethren! “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18 (AKJB).

• Some important things to know about tithing;

• God provides all our needs without tithing

 Phil 4:19 says your needs are supplied according to his riches in glory in Christ. What you need is not physical it is spiritual. 
 

• The law tithe places you under a curse

If you do continue tithing then you can be cursed (Gal 3:10).

​​

• Peace with God is attained without tithing – (Romans 5:1)

​

• We work to provide for our needs in this dispensation of grace

Paul makes it clear that if we don’t work we don’t eat (2 Thess 3:10). Mat 6:11 and Mal 3:10 are not effective today. If we do not provide for our own today we are “worse than an infidel” (1 Tim 5:8).

​

Those living under liberty and grace cannot be placed under a curse (Gal 5:1). Mandatory tithing is not a practice for the church, the Body of Christ. Those who teach tithing are either ignorant of Paul’s instructions or are mishandling the word of truth (Titus 1:11). Don’t let ignorance of the Bible rob you of your wealth. Before having a purpose in your heart to give, make sure it is the right purpose, and that from the Bible rightly divided.

​

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,

and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

Galatians 5:1 (AKJB)

​

"Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,

teaching things which they ought not,

for filthy lucre’s sake."
Titus 1:11 (AKJB)

​

When your church and/or self-appointed apostles and prophets, talk more about money than ministry (evangelism & edification), then you have found yourself in a "ministry business" not a church. When a group operates on the “customer is always right” business principle, then truth will be the first thing to leave, and you should lead the way. In fact, the first mention of required tithing, giving or sowing a seed should be your cue to stand up and declare the liberty you have in Christ to walk out the door. You have found a church that teaches a false doctrine. From such, turn away!

​

God does not bless ignorant people who believe false doctrine, and who support false prophets and false teachers!

​

"Let no man deceive you with vain words:

for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 

Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord:

walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:

for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,

and Christ shall give thee light.

Ephesians 5:6-14 (AKJB)
