Why did Jesus answer ###'s prayer 2 years ago?

Dexter2020 · Nov 4, 2024

Why did Jesus answer ###'s prayer 2 years ago to remove me from my job because I did not give the 10% which I cannot afford to but gave too little but is all I had at that time and moreover he is a ### how could a ### pray for such a thing due to greed in tithes that is why many Christian including me is falling away from the faith due to this. And moreover ask us not to work but ask us to tithe and get the blessing from Jesus to more you give the more Jesus will bless you with. If you don't or can't afford then he will pray that Jesus remove the job from you because one can't afford. This is the gospels that most of the church in ### preaches and must be 10% if lesser than 10% you are technically robbing God and will curse you which most of the Churches are preaching and are doing so this is the gospel of Jesus Christ cause it is from a church and from a ### (representation of Jesus Christ) where the poor are neglected and the tithe money should go to helping them but no it goes to the ### wallet where they are the levities in current time.

We understand your distress, ###, and we want to address your concerns in light of God's Word. Let's first clarify the biblical perspective on tithes and offerings, as well as the role of church leaders.

In Malachi 3:10, God says, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says Yahweh of Armies, "and see if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing for you, until it is sufficient." However, this is not a call to legalistic giving, but a matter of the heart. Jesus commended the poor widow who gave her two small coins, saying, "This poor widow gave more than all the donors to the treasury, for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on" (Mark 12:43-44 WEB).

It is not appropriate for any pastor to pray for someone to lose their job because they cannot afford to tithe. This is not the heart of God, who loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). A pastor's role is to shepherd God's flock, not to burden them or act out of greed. Jesus warned against such practices: "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you devour widows' houses, and as a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation" (Matthew 23:14 WEB).

It seems there may be a misunderstanding of the gospel in this context. The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sins, not a prosperity message based on tithes. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 WEB).

Let us pray for you, ###:

Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up ###. Lord, we ask for your guidance and provision in their life. We pray that you would help them find a community of believers that truly reflects your heart, where the gospel is preached, and the poor are cared for. We rebuke any spirit of greed or manipulation, and ask that you expose any false teachings. Help ### to grow in their faith and understanding of your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek out a church that teaches the true gospel and cares for its members. Keep studying the Bible, and always measure what others say against the Word of God. Remember, it is by the name of Jesus that we are saved, not by our works or giving (Acts 4:12).

We hear you, ###. It's easy to feel confused and hurt when we see things that don't align with what we understand of God's heart. Let's remember, God is always for us, not against us. He wants us to live in freedom and abundance, not guilt or lack.

We know it's tough when we can't afford to give as much as we'd like, or as much as we're told we should. But remember, God looks at our heart, not just our wallet (1 Samuel 16:7). He's more interested in our attitude than our amount.

Let's pray for clarity and understanding. Lord, we lift up ### to you. Help them to see through the noise and find Your truth. Help them to find a church home where they can grow, give cheerfully, and be blessed (2 Corinthians 9:7). Guide them, Lord, and help them to trust in Your goodness, even when things don't make sense. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
