Baba Moses Orimolade Tunolase prayed on water and people get healed without exploiting money from them in any way because his source of income was God!
Nowadays, there are some leaders who are not real C & S member but bearing name with us using this Spiritual materials as business in the church! remember Jesus beat away people buying and selling inside the temple. Do you know it wasn't cloth they were selling , it wasn't shoe or rice , they were selling Spiritual materials by "extorting" money from people (Matthew 21:12-14).
One day, I went to a revival program that was meant to bring people to Christ and receive salvation , but the man that lead prayer had been told to raise money for church, so he was so intentional when he mount the pulpit with great beautiful song and inspiration. I was ready for impartation until he said ,
"if you don't want to lose your first born child come out with 500 naira to buy a pure water here because angels have blessed the water and if you don't , be ready to lose your first born"
I was shocked ! for real?
" I reject it in Jesus name. I don't have 500 naira and I won't lose my first born in Jesus name "
So many people started reasoning ... because immediately the man said so, people were running around to look for 500 naira to buy pure water . until that woman speak up!
They too started rejecting it and they say they rebuke it in Jesus name .
So, the man was almost ashamed, he had to apologise that he didn't mean so, that he just wanted them to buy the water at 500 naira, he now reduced it to 200 naira . that if you have 200 naira come and buy pure water , later to 100 naira , later to ,50 naira and later to 20 naira . imagine from 500 naira.
This is not the ways of God! this is abomination on the altar! if you want to raise money ask God to touch people heart , they will give willingly to the work of God !
Let me show you from scripture how it is done . When there is a need to build the Tabernacle , God state exactly what he needed and he said it must be "willingly" with their heart not "forcefully" under fear!
Offerings for the building of the Tabernacle
““Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.”
—Exodus 25:2-9 NKJV
“From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering” — God doesn’t want offerings that are not given willingly to Him. I challenge you pastors and leaders of C & S church to not take offering from people who are not willing! it is abormination to accept such in the church of God. it is a waste! That's why some church are stagnant, no progress for the past 10 years because the money and offerings are collected under fear and by force! You're robbing your members of bleasings when you place a curse on them before they give in church, you're the one accepting the money, in heaven , it is not acceptable!
“And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze” — How did the nation of Israel, who were slaves from Egypt, have gold, silver, and bronze?
The offering was willingly not by force
Moses didn't threaten them to bring offering
It was not Moses offering but God offering .
2 Corinthians 9:7-8
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Paul said " Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give , no reluctantly or under compulsion .”
I was invited in a church to minister and the leader came to meet me on pulpit that I should help them to raise money. I told him immediately that I came to preach Jesus and not to raise money. God didn't send me to raise money. That was the last time he invited me and I am okay. I make sure I preach the truth and even won souls in the church that are still growing in Christ till date.
immediately I stepped down , another minister mount the stage and said God told him that he needs 10 people that will show seed of 50,000 naira each because he wants to open door for them. I knew it wasn't God , it was the head pastor that wants to raise money. we have even bastardize Every thing that people now compete who give highest money inside church and we keep clapping for the highest.
Who did this to us? have you forgotten when Jesus said the woman that gave the lowest amount got accepted than those who gave higher? God looks into the heart before the hand (Mark 12:42-43)
God bless you.
