Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has warned Christians not to eat their tithe, as this may cause the Christian to lose access to God’s supernatural provision. According to the former president of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, the practice of paying tithe is ageless. This advice was given in Oritsejafor’s church Devotional ‘Word Of Life Eagles’ for Tuesday, May 1st.
Here is what the devotional said about tithing
”Abraham paid his tithe about 500 years before Moses gave the Law. God began the principle of tithing at the Garden of Eden. The Bible records that ’the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it’ (Genesis 2:15). By implication, God employed the man.
In Genesis 2:16, for the work that man did, God paid him wages ’And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.’ The story did not end there. In Genesis 2:17, God said to the man, ’But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.‘
”There is always something that God will give you, that he wants you to take care of, that you mustn’t take as yours, that you must leave dedicated to and return to Him. That thing is the acknowledgement that God is the source of all things that you have, and it is known as tithe.
”Now, just to make sure that there is no ambiguity and confusion as to what the thing is, God made it simple. The tithe is ten per cent of anything God gives you as increase to what you already have or as addition to what you already have. In Adam’s case, not eating the tree of knowledge was his tithe. And if he dared to eat it, he would die,”
