“Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?”
So Paul expects the people in the church who were fed Spiritual Food to share with them material needs. That is to say, we are to give unto the Priests and Pastors a Free-Will Love Offerings to sustain them in their work, while the Tithe is already paid to the Government of each country in the terms of PERSONAL INCOME TAX. Surely a good God will not burden his people again by requiring them to pay double taxation. When God does not even require of us to be circumcised, why then would God require us to pay such heavy duty tax to both the Government and to his Church. The bible says, God loves a cheerful giver and we are to give according to our means and be happy about it. So how to be a cheerful giver when we are required a fixed amount, we must give from our hearts.
So why are the Prosperity Churches growing when they deceive the world?
Even I was mistaken, when I asked this question and Jesus showed me that all trees bear fruit. They bear good and bad fruit. Thus, when a tree bears fruits it does not mean he has blessed them. If we define blessings and growth by the size of our church, then the pagan world is more blessed by God than us since they are the majority; so they must have the real god then. God does not judge in worldly terms, he judges us according to our righteousness and
