Majid Michel Contradicts Daddy Freeze’s Claim That Tithing Is a Commandment By God
Ghanaian actor and man of God Majid Michel has countered the claims of Nigerian OAP Daddy Freeze who insists that tithing is wrong and not a commandment of God.
Daddy Freeze has always screamed for all to hear that the act of tithing or paying tithes to Pastors is a form of robbery on the parts of the pastors. He went further to buttress his claims with some parts of the bible during a life interview with LIB.
According to Freeze, the commandment of tithing was not for us but for some priests in the old testaments.
Meanwhile, man of God although not ordained, Majid Michel has countered these claims, insisting that God has commanded all to pay tithes into his house that food may abound and more importantly for the welfare of the poor.
He however commented that although, some men of God do not use the tithes as commanded, that does not mean we should disobey or rob God by renouncing the payment of tithes.
-God is a Spirit who can only be worship by faith, not by mental assent.
ReplyDelete-It take the Spirit to understand the scriptures, not intellectual analysis.
THIS ISSUE OF TITHING: OPEN LETTER TO FREEZE FROM PASTOR MELCHISEDEC BANKOLE.
-Your research on tithe is commendable but not accurate.
-If you will look through the old testament, you will find out there are two regimes of tithing; 1).Abrahamic regime, and 2). Regime of law.
-In Abrahamic regime, two people were recorded to pay tithe(10%), are you aware of this?
In Regime of law, there are 3 types of tithing.
-Cummulatively, it was 30%, and not 10%, are you also aware of this too?
-For the word of God to be profitable, it must be balanced, otherwise, there is a very high risk of leading people into error.
-Freeze, you are leading people into error!
-Your error1: You are saying tithe shld be paid under the terms of the law by giving tithe to the poor, orphans, etc.
- In the regime of the law, tithe was not even given directly to the poor, but every 3 years, tithe was used to feed the strangers, Levites, & the needy(Duet14:28-29); are you aware of this facts?
-James1:27, God delights in those who cater for the needy, they are rewarded by God, but it must be done in line with God's standard, and not FREEZE'S assumptions.

-FAQ3; Where should I pay my tithe?

vs7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
ATTENTION:
-The old covenant is a shadow of the new covenant; they are our examples but we are now under the grace.
-I do know that there are alot of pastors, evangelist, Reverend by mental assent who are preaching the word of God intellectually but there also alot of genuine men of God operating by the Spirit bcos "the letter killeth(2Cor 3:6)".
-Preaching the letter like you do(Freeze) is error, and death.
-Freeze, preaching the word of God by mental assent is the greatest problem of the 21st century church, and that is why people like you are saying things too high for you.
