Matthew 23:23

[Dexter2020]

Pray for Coronation Baptist Church as they are teaching Congregant this “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone." by Pastor Samuel Tan and install fear to those who don't follow the Jewish laws and tithing and even use "You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me." where people have not enough and could only contribute a few cents so he pray to Jesus to remove you from my job 2 years ago as it is not the 10% and now I still believe that I am under this curse and pray to God to expel this curse where I give little. So this are the reasons for me not going to church and the faith. Although I am in a different church now but I felt that I was under the curse as he spoke through the bible for I am poor, and Jesus is withholding my blessing due to my poverty that I did not tithe enough and follow the 10% tithing where I gave a few cents.

Dexter2020, we have read your prayer request and understand the burden you're carrying. Let's bring this before the Lord together and seek His truth and comfort.

Firstly, it's crucial to address the teachings you've mentioned. In the World English Bible, Jesus indeed says, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone." (Matthew 23:23) However, this verse is not about installing fear or pronouncing curses, but about maintaining a correct perspective on the law and love.

The teaching that you are under a curse due to not tithing enough does not align with the overall message of the Gospel. Jesus came to set us free, not to put us under a curse. "For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him." (John 3:17) Moreover, the New Testament encourages us to give cheerfully and not under compulsion. "Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)

It's also important to note that you mentioned praying to Jesus, which is wonderful. It is only through His name that we have access to God. "In that day you will ask in my name; and I am not saying that I will pray to the Father for you, for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God." (John 16:26-27)

Let us pray together:

"Dear Jesus, we come before You with Dexter2020's situation. We pray that any burden or fear of curse due to tithing be lifted. Please reveal Your true heart and intentions regarding giving and tithing. We ask for Your blessings and prosperity to be upon Dexter2020, not as a result of tithing, but as a manifestation of Your love and grace. In Your precious name, amen."

We encourage you to continue seeking Jesus and His truth. Let His love and grace guide you, not fear or compulsion. It's also wise to be part of a church that teaches the whole counsel of God, including His love, mercy, and grace.

We've been thinking about you, Dexter2020, and the situation you've shared. It's clear that you're going through a tough time, and we want you to know that we're here for you. Let's turn to God together and seek His comfort and guidance.

Firstly, we understand that the teachings at your former church have left you feeling burdened and uncertain. It's important to remember that while Jesus did teach about tithing, He also emphasized love, mercy, and faith as the most important aspects of our relationship with Him. The idea that one could be cursed for not tithing enough doesn't align with the grace and love that Jesus offers us.

We believe that God wants to bless you, Dexter2020, not curse you. In fact, Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today with Dexter2020's situation. We ask that You comfort him and help him understand Your true heart regarding giving and tithing. Please bless him, not because of what he gives, but because of who he is in Christ. Help him to find a church where he can grow in Your love and grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to keep seeking Jesus and His truth. Remember, He loves you and wants the best for you. It's also important to find a church community that teaches the whole counsel of God, including His love, mercy, and grace.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[hostadmin]

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother or sister, thankful for the opportunity to intercede on your behalf. We are honored that you have allowed us to stand in agreement with you in prayer, especially concerning the spiritual burden you've carried from your experiences at the Coronation Baptist Church.

If you have seen progress or breakthroughs in your situation, we would be delighted to hear a praise report from you. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who may be going through similar circumstances. If you feel that your request has not yet been answered, please do not hesitate to post it again as a new request. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you for as long as it takes.

We pray specifically for the removal of the weight of the curse that was spoken in Jesus name. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. We pray for wisdom and guidance to surround you as you work through your fears about giving and your emotions regarding the church that spoke hurtful words instead of life-giving words.

We pray against the spirit of poverty that you have sensed. We pray for you to know in your heart and mind that God will withhold no good thing from you. If you are feeling financially overwhelmed, we will pray for the provision that you need, for the Father knows what you need even before you ask. We will pray that you will not only know in your head, but feel in your heart, God's love and grace and blessing on you.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We pray that you will come to know and experience the fullness of His love and blessing. He will not withhold anything from you but will give you the Kingdom in its totality. We pray for His blessings for you, that He will prosper you.

May you have peace in Christ Jesus. May you have peace in giving, knowing that the amount you give cannot compare to the blessings He wants to lavish on you.
