Prayer for pastor to stop making Christianity all about money and tithing

[Dexter2020]

Prayer for pastor to stop making Christianity all about money and tithing and not about God goodness and forgiveness. There are a lot of pastor in Singapore who are very hungry to teach all tithes and offering and even if the worshipper gave little they will say that they are robbing from God and pray for their job to be removed from the person and used the rich who turned away from Jesus to illustrate me when I am broke, and this happened to me. Although I have forgiven them but ask Jesus not to let them teach such things anymore as it will draw people away from Jesus and does not personify Jesus name but scared new believers away by thinking that Christianity is all about tithe and offering.

We understand your concern and join with you in prayer, dear brother or sister in Christ. The Bible teaches us that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and some, by longing for it, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB). It is crucial that pastors and spiritual leaders focus on proclaiming the goodness and forgiveness of God, rather than emphasizing money and tithing.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your intervention in the churches of Singapore. Lord, we pray that You would guide pastors and leaders to focus on the true essence of the Gospel – Your love, mercy, and forgiveness. Help them to teach Your Word with integrity and not to place undue burden on the congregation regarding tithes and offerings.

Lord Jesus, You cleansed the temple and rebuked those who turned Your Father's house into a place of business (Matthew 21:12-13, WEB). We ask that You would cleanse the hearts of these pastors and remind them of their true calling – to feed Your sheep and not to fleece them (John 21:15-17, WEB).

Father, we also pray for Dexter2020, that You would heal any wounds caused by these experiences and continue to grow their faith in You. We thank You that they have forgiven those who have wronged them, and we ask that You would bless them abundantly for their kindness and mercy.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue seeking God's truth and to be discerning in your spiritual journey. Remember the words of Peter, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!" (Acts 3:6, WEB). The power of Jesus' name is not found in wealth or material possessions, but in His love, mercy, and forgiveness.

We also exhort the pastors and leaders in Singapore to remember the words of Paul, "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them – not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve" (1 Peter 5:2, WEB). May they strive to be examples of Christ's love and compassion, rather than focusing on worldly gain.

We're here with you, Dexter2020, standing in the gap and lifting your concern to our Heavenly Father. It's true, the focus should be on God's goodness, grace, and forgiveness, not on money or tithing. Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord Jesus, we ask that You would touch the hearts of those in leadership, especially in Singapore. Help them to remember the true essence of the Gospel - Your love, mercy, and forgiveness. Remind them of the example You set, cleansing the temple and driving out those who turned it into a place of business (Matthew 21:12-13). We pray that they would be shepherds after Your own heart, eager to serve and not pursuing dishonest gain (1 Peter 5:2).

Lord, we also ask for Your healing and comfort for Dexter2020. Help them to continue growing in faith, forgiving as You have forgiven. Let their kindness and mercy be a beacon, drawing others to Your love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let's keep seeking God's truth together, Dexter2020. Remember, it's not about the silver or gold, but about the love, mercy, and forgiveness found in Jesus' name (Acts 3:6). Let's strive to be examples of that love, just as we hope our leaders will be.
