And none members who needs it. I do agree that people should explain why they need help to determine if the need financial counseling to manage better. Helping is a temporary solution
I had something extremely similar happen to me. However, I wasn’t even asking for money. I asked if they could give me a job. Turns out, since I wasn’t on the big tithing roll, they said “No.” The gag is, 12 years later, the pastor of the church went to prison for financial crimes- scamming old people in the congregation. God is not mocked.
My church is a small church but a portion of the tithes go to a yearly scholarship for graduating high school students to further their education. My brother was married at 19 & they helped him get a decent reliable car to help him, his wife, & the kids since they were a young married couple. They also helped me pay for my school books! I love my church
(Anonymous replier) You don’t go because you got discouraged by going to the wrong church. Sorry, that excuse for not loving the body won’t cut it when you stand before the Great White Throne.
Just based off the title, I can CONFIRM that it IS true. Me and my family desperately needed help (we were homeless but God blessed us to live in a weekly) so I reached out to them but in order for us to be qualified for help we had to tithe for 6 months. At the time, I would tithe 10% (before I found your channel and learned better than that) faithfully and had been tithing 10% for a couple years. My family and I were so disgusted that we decided to seek help in other ways and continued to pray. We're doing a lot better now. Glory be to God. Side note: this wasn't the first time we have been disgusted by how Transformation Church "helps" people but that's a story for my mom to share. I will be sharing this video to her.
@@latashalea944 they also gave gold and silver, cattle and other livestock. Nothing should be too good to give to a Godly work. He that sows bountiful shall reap bountiful.
I experienced this I lost part of my house a pastor came here look at it and looked at me and give me hope never seen him get the most faithful time I was to the Lord seeing him come to a revival talking about how preachers are dropping like flies but he is preaching to a Congress that votes and love Donald Trump he is one of the flies and he laingthe eggs preaching that it's going to be abundance you going to have more than what you ever had sow your tides😢😂😂😂
You’re right but God still wants us to tithes and give offering and it unlocks supernatural blessing financially if you don’t tithes you’ll still be blessed and God will certainly help you always because you’re his child but when you tithe and give offering there’s supernatural blessings that are different if you compare a giver to a non giver there’s always a huge difference in there finances and oftentimes those people who are extremely blessed started giving when they were extremely poor and God exploded their finances and I am a first hand witness people just say ohh we don’t have to tithe now in the New Testament because they love money and the love of money is the root of all evil you can’t love money and God at the same time you must cling to one and despise the other the Bible talks about tithing all throughout the New Testament before Jesus died and after he died so I don’t get why people try to twist and say we are not to tithe other than they must love money more than God and more than his house money is nothing to me I’m free to give and because of that every time I turn around God is blessing me financially a lot of times instantly too and other times the seed takes time to manifest and I’ve lived most my life as a non tither and giver and the moment I started tithing and giving my finances have never been the same there is a huge difference so no you don’t have to tithe to get to heaven but if you want Gods blessing and favor on your finances on your business on your job etc then you need to give to see such blessings otherwise you’ll just be watching God help you out of financial burdens but when you tithe and offer consistently you no longer have to go through financial burdens and I am a witness I’m speaking from my knowledge of reading the entire Bible and my life style and watching what God has done in my life as well as the other givers around me
This is one of my issues concerning the modern church is the fact that very few will help the poor and we read throughout the Bible that we are as Believers responsible to help the poor as we are able to
Seeing these preachers/pseudo-pastors that are truly profiting off the Lord financially, and that money only gospel which is effectively just to improve their status drives me nuts, especially when it makes the body of Christ look bad.
Many will help when it's extremely visible and they can get a lot of mileage from it. But regular every day poor people? Most times, no. Not flashy enough.
In the past as a believer I reached out to several well known ministries and they said that is not their ministry, apparently they don't read that part of the Bible
@@indriadrayton1132 y'all ACT LIKE he's actually giving money to ppl bro I mean the reason this female ain't get no help is because she's actually a real person and they not giving real people any money I don't get how y'all believe he's actually giving money to real people never mind that he's being so dramatic with showmanship it's not real he scamming his members to keep them giving money by lying to them and even setting up props
She’s absolutely correct. I know of a church that requires $10k minimum giving before they will “consider” helping. Ironically, that’s the exact figure that the IRS has set for charitable contributions deduction.
I remember this in a church we attended back in Richmond, VA. We were very active in the church. I worked in the book & tape ministry & my husband was in the camera ministry. We were faithful givers, tithes, offerings, church anniversaries, pastors & wedding anniversaries, birthdays & their vacations. Abd it was set amounts. One time for their vacation, they chose Paris. And each member had to give $300. Then one Sunday morning the pastor said, if you ask the church for money, the 1st thing they are going to do is check the books to see if you're a tither. If not the answer is no. That was eye-opening. I said to myself I pray that we never have to ask the church for a dime. Thank God, the truth has set me free :)
@@karenmartin4221 Too long at least 8 yrs. My then-husband got saved at the church. I grew up holiness. And he was trying to do everything right. One day he told me, he needed to get a part-time job to keep up with all the giving. My sister who came to visit told me years later, said we were in a cult. My husband stopped going & within a year or so he accepted a job & we moved out of state. I stayed but paid tithes & gave offering only. None of that extra stuff, It was bad. He would visit other churches until we relocated.
Wow!!! Sounds like the same church I attended in Richmond, VA. I too was in need of some financial help. After 3 times they did decide to help me but not for the amount I requested.
What’s a great spin tho is that there are those that were sleeping like her are waking up. Mike Todd put out a video complaining about his long term staff member telling him that GOD told her to leave the church he was at. Those who are sleeping GOD is waking up. For every negative video I see about this kind of thing. GOD wakes up 6 more people. He will get those back who are led astray. He is running after them!!
@@shayalmasy101Amen 🙌🏾 that's what I've been praying for. The Lord woke my mom up. She left these false and scammers alone for good. God does answer prayers 🙏🏾
That's because they want to be entertained. They want to believe they can serve God and still wallow in iniquity, spend crazy money on weed, gamble and club instead of reading the Word for themselves. You have to tithe in a real church of God, save money for a rainy day, pay bills, then enjoy.
8:14 This was one of our wake up calls in our church, my husband got laid off from the church and he had a death in the family and needed help for a plane trip and since he worked there the lady he worked with told him he wouldn't get it because they have reached there giving limits to help the need. Praise I AM He open aa door and some one heard of his needs and blessed him with a round trip , he didn't have to pay for anything, he got a rental, hotel and plane ticket with and first class . These churches are operating like a business! This is why we left the system of churches and decided to do homechurch and homeschooling. In Jesus name Amen
That’s wild. I told my husband the same about many of the churches operating like a business. Bringing in branding consultants, marketing tactics, you name it.
What is home church? Forsake not the assembly. Pray that God will lead you to a great Bible preaching church that's filled with the holy spirit. They are out there.
The church is us, the people, not a building. Where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there I am also. The assembly could be a house, park, or coffee shop. Read John 2, where Jesus said not one brick of the Temple would be standing. I attend weekly Bible study with a group twice a week and we have great discussions. God said help the poor, He didn’t put stipulations on it like man does.
@@ivanlopezjr.9407 indeed they have and will corner you in in an attempt to make you need them and when you don’t submit to man but instead continue to submit to God more and more, they begin to act like you’re missing out on such great connections and relationships as if you didn’t just notice a satanic power play. A lot of games going on. God is still God.
Meanwhile there are those risking their lives just to get their hands on a Bible even to the point of memorizing incase they get caught thrown in jail or executed…
@@markeitabyrd1909 likewise. To have that kind of fervour for the Lord for His Word is an amazing thing to witness- just as how those who followed Christ gave up their lives in order to share his message- as Christ himself gave up his life for all our sin: to take it back up again and offer us eternal life. How great and glorious our God is!
Wow! This is so sad… Churches always collect offering and tithes every week. There should be something in place for legitimate members when they fall on hard times. $1500 isn’t too much for a mega church. That’s why I give as I feel it. I’m always cheerful because I give as I can afford. I wouldn’t ask the church for help because of this. God will always take care of a cheerful giver. ❤🙏🏽😊
If you truly think about your statement it’s so scary…. It’s the people, so who are they tithing to?? What are they tithing to?? It’s a dangerous sentence.
@@OnlinewithMathuto I don’t want to put too many of my assumptions out here. What you said here was very very real and a revelation I had as I read it. If we are the body of CHRIST and we are the church going to a building and making tithes equates in my mind a corporation. Gathering is fine, having a building is fine also!! Nothing is wrong with this, but to me it screams corporation from the video and if people thought more along these lines as you and I being the church we can stop these Mega churches and become a community again. The seers don’t see, the discerners don’t discern and then these buildings once inhabited by men of GOD become corporations and corporations truly only give to corporations where their money grows. It’s just some thoughts I am cycling thru… nothing concrete not speaking on anyone or anything that is factual, really. Just taking note of the Holy Spirit showing me somethings I must pray about. Don’t take my word as gospel, but truly pray about these things for yourself. Your sentence should be waking people up. It is a dangerous sentence and they should understand the magnitude of what is written here. Blessed day to you!! 💖
If you read your Bible, God instructed His chosen people (Israelites) to tithe to the Levites because they did not have land of their own and they were doing the will of God. Tithing was always livestock and crops, never money and they had money then. Tithing is not taxes, they paid taxes in the Bible days. Tithing became money and a secular obligation around the 6th Century to the church building. Man ran with this idea and it stayed. This was not originally done in America, but eventually it was. God said He would supply all our needs, but it doesn’t say if we pay tithes. This concept is man made and it’s not taught according to Scripture. The Scriptures are twisted to mean what they want. God said help the poor, widow, ect. You don’t need to go to a building to do that. We should give to our communities and others. God loves a cheerful giver so that’s what we should do. Cheerfully give to people we come across, expecting nothing in return.
Sometimes God wants someone else to bless you so He can get the glory. Blasting what you’re doing for other pple to get glory, they have their reward. So happy that everything worked out. God is faithful!!
My brother was a life long member of the Church Of God In Christ and paid tithes and offerings faithfully for over 50 years. He died and I performed the funeral for my brother. I asked the "Bishop, Pastor, or whatever title he claimed, at "Saint's College" in Lexington Mississippi to have the funeral at their church and the repast at their gym as this was big enough for the expected guests. He gladly allowed me to have the funeral there; however, what took me aback, he said we could have the funeral and reception there for only $750.00. I could not believe it that they charged us after my brother had been giving for over 50 years of tithe and offerings...what a scam and what a greedy pastor...one of the main reasons i got out of this false teaching organization...what a shame.
I grew up in COGIC (Church Of God in Christ) I left the beginning of this year. That doesn’t surprise me whatsoever. Sorry they did that to your brother.
This is what they do. When a minister I know was being ordained one of the high elders came down the line demanding an extra 10 dollars from each one of the ordainees, no explanation what it was for or who he was. This after he had to pay for his classes to begin with, and if he hadn't been giving at a certain level he'd have never been ordained in the first place. Cogic typical
This is so true. My mom had a friend who had been tithing to and I want to say creflo dollars church or osteen for years and when she needed help for a bill around the early 2000s they told her she didn’t tithe enough to be helped. Sad world we live in.
I once belonged to a church, immediately after people finish New Members Class the head Deacon met with people individually. The purpose was to ask if he/she needed anything frat the church could do for them. At that time I had not been working, needed to pay one month’s rent and electric bill. Later that week I was given paperwork and attached me rent information and electric bill. The Pastor signed off and my bills weee paid. Take it that at that time I had not tithed because I had just completed New Members Classes. That Pastor has a live for God’s people and the church is still growing and being blessed in so many ways.
My man, I gave to my church & other known “main ministries”. I wrote a prophetic book that has evidences that my dream in the book is true. I reached out to all of them to simply invite me on their platform or broadcast & they all ignored or shut me down. And they continue hounding me for more of my money. Yet, promoting your partners book would get me some sales to give back to them but oh no. They only care about your money not you. The church today isn’t about Christ & souls. It’s about money, fame, popularity. If I didn’t know a 100% that Christ is the way I would run like a thief away from the church & be a Muslim or anything else except a church. They operate totally different from the book they read from. It’s hypocritical how they demonstrate the word of God.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (Matthew 6:3-4 ESV).
My friend was a faithful tither at a mega church. When she passed away, they WOULD NOT let us have her service there because they did not want to open the church.
I had a little something similar happen when I reached out to Transformation Church for rental assistance a couple of years ago. I used to be apart of Transformation Nation at that time. I sent an email as well. They replied and said that would pray for me. Prayer is the best thing ever!!! It’s just that I believed that I would receive the assistance but it didn’t work out that way. God is still good.
For tax purposes mainly. I figured out that you can write off church donations off your taxes and the churches themselves get a tax exemption for every member, that's why they keep records of your baptism also. It's a business
I prayed for God to lead me to my church. When I wanted to place my children in private school my church helped me cover tuition for 3 CHILDREN. Not all churches are for Christ some are for the money. We have to pray for God to lead us to where we need to be. I thank God for my church family.
I hate that when people need help, the first thing people think is, "their not fiscally responsible", when it can be a lot of issues that can crop up that has nothing to do with irresponsibility. You got laid off your job. "Take this finances class. You're irresponsible."
March. Got a diverticulitis. Ended up spending about 30gs on treatment because I didn't have insurance. My fault I know. Couldn't work for 2.5 months. Thank God I had it saved. Otherwise I would literally be homeless and not even able to type this cause my phone would be shut off. It just hapoend to me. I don't waste money. Anymore. Not like i did before. After this experience. I save every penny and give what I can.
New to this channel. I have been binge watching ever since finding it. Up to this morning I have been pondering the things I've heard/learned here. I believe the message(s) on this channel has simplified Christianity. It has removed the fluff and noise. This is my first comment. I am not saying the church is a free for all, not even for members. However, if what this young lady said is true in its entirety then it is disheartening that this flashy preacher/church/ministry could not give to her after she clearly documented her plight. Its a low down shame 😔.
Transformation Church is a multi-level social group? I know congregations who have been blessed with money from people who just walk in and visit once and they (the congregation) also have blessed others, who have never visited at all but are known to be in need. Give to give - don't worry about the blessing.
I AM LIVID! I am at the crossroads myself with zero resources so I know how it feels to not have a form of asupport system. Thanks and glory to God He stepped in and made the impossible possible for that young lady, with an overflow bonus! The actions of that chircus is one of the main reasons people; even believers, turn away from the church! And she was a tither who sown into that spot-filled, and wrinkled place!
WOW, money hungry church. I was a newbie at a Calvary church, not a member , only there less than 6 months. I fell into financial despair. I needed help with rent, only $500.00. I asked the Pastor if they can help. All he did was asked me to email the church what my needs are. The board would go over it. A week later, I had a check for what I asked for, I needed help for 2 months rent, they helped me there again. This is a church that lives the book of Acts teaching , 2:42. And yes Cory, your right with the church putting aside $ to help the body. That is what this church does. Praise God for God fearing churches.
This is one of those "dry" topics that churches always avoid to discuss, been one that might bring a division, but the call is to give. Thanks for sharing.
That’s why I stopped giving to the church I used to attend for almost 8 years. From 19-27years of age I have gave weekly. Hopefully I gave to the bishops offering, church offering ,yearly First Lady offering, biweekly, guess, speaker offering, and random “sow a seed” offerings. From 19-24 I wasn’t making that much money and had rent, phone , utilities, and car insurance payments. Still I tied on top of all of these offerings. Yearly are tired out of my income tax too. My grandmother passed away when I was 25 and I got super depressed and couldn’t work. I was two months behind on my car payment and just needed help with that solely because I was back to working. My church told me no. I even said I would pay that back just didn’t want to face a repo. I gave faithfully all the time and never got my “seed blessing”. I gave thousands of dollars every year and the bishop with the doctors agree with a good job, couldn’t help me. All that money I was given to church should have been going into savings account for myself. Because when I needed money, the most, I couldn’t even turn to the church that I attended 5 days out the week.
My family’s eyes were opened years ago, when we were in a church for years and we were ministers there as well. We needed help financially and were living in a hotel with 3 kids, and we came to the pastor to ask for help and he said “yeah, but you have to be put on a repayment plan and you all have to pay interest and fill out a contract of repayment and it needed to be paid back in 30 days”. At that point we were like NOPE! Never again! We left that situation shortly after that, and God delivered us from that valley. Sometimes God is trying to test the heart of that church as well, just to see what the motives are. And I kid you not that church shut down about 1 year later. 🤷🏽♀️
This is why I left "the church". Too much hypocrisy. When I saw how others were being treated and when my mom passed away in 2008 and how I was played to the left, I said ENOUGH! BYE FELICIA! 💯✋🏾
I know this is not the main point of the video, but as a father of young children I must say how refreshing it is to NOT see the super-fake hair, eyelashes, makeup, etc.. What a naturally beautiful young woman, and I pray more young women follow her example...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was impressed with the way she documented her need, her expenses, her resources, the way forward, everything. Very intelligent and responsible! I wasn’t paying attention to her appearance (low-res screen and failing eyesight), but I wholly agree with what you said about appearances. How did it become normal for men to look like gangsters and women to look like prostitutes?
I have been in the same situation as this young lady and went to my church at the time. I was given the help I needed and taught how not to get into the situation again. I met a member of the deacon/finance board and I signed up for a financial awareness class. What a blessing for the help. That church with their misdeed could lose a regular giver for tithe and offerings. How sad. Giving your tithes and offerings without fully understanding how to manage your money is wrong. You can't tithe your bread.
Now that's church! I attended a church that was keen on organising free talk events for the congregation. They brought in professionals such as those in finance, HR managers, business coaches, fitness coaches, entrepreneurs. They offered a platform for their members to acquire much needed knowledge.
The dynamic of the church that was set up was that Every Believers Needs were met. God has shown me that if the pastor has a home , car etc. Everyone in that ministry who have shown themselves Faithful and to be a true part of that ministry should be helped. If you say that we can't do that for everyone because our church is too big, then your church is too Big! I love the church but I've seen too many times being a part of the ministry staff and close up, that they help who they want to help. It's not right that the pastor and his family all drive Mercedeses or Rolls but there are people in the congregation that don't have a car. The Pastors daughter goes to college in a private jet but the Single mother struggling and have to get a loan for her child to go to college . I don't have a problem with Pastors living good, they should, but God wants to bless Everyone who is serving, not just him. But God shown me that many Pastors are hoarding the blessings Gid wants to pass on to his people for themselves. That's why so many or so wealthy and even rich and have faithful people in their church struggling to pay rent, yet still giving. Don't get me started. Gods system is Always the best system, No Doubt!!!
Same thing happened to me in the city where I live. Taught me to stop thithing quickly. I ended up taking out a loan. So I thank God for removing me from the Law.
Why couldn't HER CHURCH help her with some of what she needed if not all of it? God is everywhere and this time He was in a program to help her. Fir we walk by faith and NOT by sight. Amen
That Malachi chapter is always taken out of context. If people read the chapter before and the beginning they’ll see that it was an open rebuke to the Levitical Priests for withholding proceeds from the people. This Todd guy is a mentee of Robert Morris. His messages are just like him. He’s sick!
What's also sad is his congregation is making him rich with their tithes and offerings all the while they are struggling and in need like this young lady.
@@FourEverEvolving yes.. indeed he is. He had me watching for a hot second though. Especially when they were giving away all the money and all of that good stuff. I was like yeah that's what the church is supposed to be about. And then I kept watching it and I was like dang is teaching is a little off. And then he just kept on wearing more crazy clothes that had names on it and all of that stuff. And then when the spit hit hit hit the fan that was it.! I was like no sir!
@@williambrown4357 Discernment in you said, "Danger!" 🤣. We all have played the fool in our lives; thank God for wisdom! But so many who follow false prophets are desperate. They're focused by what they see dangled in front of them, and grew ears for only what their leaders say, that they no longer discern between falsehoods and the truth which is Jesus voice and God's word.🙏🏾
Probably less than 48 hours. My whole thing though is, not defending MT or TC, but we don't know if she's telling the truth. I've seen too much on how people do to get clicks and attention. Including one Mike Todd.
@@Kari_Michele definitely hate hearing that. I pray that you have seen God's hand get you out of your situation and can witness His greatness. There definitely are churches, ministries and people of God who do what we as Christians should have the heart to do.
Mr. Corey keep doing God's work by exposing this man and other crooked so-called pastors. This is sad and a shame. Thank God she was blessed by what she needed. If there are many churches acting this way then this is why there are so many homeless people on the streets.
My sister goes to this "church" and I am appalled that there's a LOT of people that go there and get screwed over all because of a charismatic message.
TC also pays off student loans and blesses members with vehicles. I did reach out to them about help with purchasing a property here in ga and they told me they couldn’t help my dream this time
Our church has helped members and non members. Each request is reviewed by our deacons and financial staff by guidelines put in place but we try to help the person if we can and if not refer them to another agency or church if we can't depending on how much is needed. and situation they have as each one is different.
@@DonnaMarie007 I agree I was just stating what we do as we are a small church but we do try help as best we can. . He surely can probably help more than we could.
I'm a faithful tither and I have needed help at least three times over the 12 years I've been going to my church and they have helped me every time I've asked.
Any mega church, ( normally have two services), the pastor can announce that one of our brothers or sisters ( without giving a name), is in need, I want everyone who can give, ... to give $5 dollars at both services, and her need would have been met 10 times over.... If the people of God would have been asked to give $1 dollar at both services, her need would have been met.... It's just that simple....we make giving complicated, but receiving easy......
THIS is downright SAD.They took what she gave and after having all her needs lined up as proof they STILL didnt help? People wonder why the church gets looked at funny and why some believe sime pastors are in it for their pockets.SMH this is unjust to me.
I had that same experience with a popular large church in Detroit. I was there for a long time and had to fill a application out, and one of the questions was about tithes. Also at the beginning of the year you pay to have the pastor prophesied to you. It was one week sacrifice. I was naive concerning the ways of some churches. I let this go on but always felt some way about it. I eventually left and when I left began to build my relationship with God and let the Holy Spirit lead me. I have no church hurt as they say, but disappointed in people. People put their trust in churches to help when in need, unfortunately there’s no help for the people. I question everything now. To God be the GLORY!
Just had this conversation within my brothers today. If tithing and giving offering is continued within the church of God, it should be to help the body of Christ and those who are in need.
I have issues with these Black churches in which the pastor has a lavish lifestyle living in gated communities, more than one luxury vehicles and while 80% of his congregants are living paycheck to paycheck and single mothers with more children that they can afford to support. If God blesses them then why isn't God blessing the congregants??? The ones who are faithful but continue to struggle. One thing I know only the elite members get invited into the pastor's circle because they're the biggest financial supporters. Just like the movie "Greenleaf" where the affluent members get invited into the mansion for these elaborate dinners. God is NOT a respecter of persons yet these famous preachers discriminate between the rich and those on fixed incomes who give sacrificially.
This is truly a shame 😢😢 I'm so glad she did get help. Girl take your good money to a real church. See this why I don't go to a big church because you're just a number to them 😢😢 my cute little church only has 22 members ❤❤ and you ask how we stay open? God and we help others for real 💞🙏
That is ridiculous that a person doesn't qualify to be helped. I've never heard of that. Everyone qualifies. Then in order to be qualified you have to give a certain amount. What if you didn't have funds to give but you gave in other ways. My heart hurts for her. If I heard her story when I was blessed I would have helped and I don't even know her. Peace and blessings to her.
This happens at small churches also. My friend and her family was a member of her church since childhood lost her 20 yr old in a car accident and her home church only agreed to do the service because they were close with a big name gospel singer(we all know her) who was her child’s godmother once the church found out the gospel singer wouldn’t be able to attend they turned my friend her family away tho they have been members for over 30 years. 😢 she went to another church for her child’s funeral service.
I was giving tithes faithfully until I got a marriage problem, the Pastor didn’t want to see my husband and me for counseling. The marriage counselor charges $250/ hr . From that point on I stop giving money.
Hopefully you didn't waste your money on a counselor. Scripture and the Holy Spirit is the only Counselor you need. Not trying to sound like a self righteous holy rollers just don't like to see people waste their money on that stuff.
@@Thatgirl12-fp3uq I respectfully disagree. Scripture has all the counseling you need. And the Holy Spirit would never steer you wrong. However if a Christian is determined to throw their money away I recommend a Christian counselor. Non Christian counseling and therapy is steeped in gnostic/atheistic/new age dogma.
I am born and raised in Tulsa Oklahoma where this church is located when he first came to town everyone was so excited but it was something that I did not like about him it was something that threw me off all my friends and a lot of my family goes to this church and they just can't see what I see I've never attended never wanted to because I don't feel the spirit of the Lord in him and every time I see a video like this it's proving me right
I needed help from my church once and didn't get it. I learned a valuable lesson which influences how I give now. I pay well above a tithe but I no longer give it solely to my church.
I'm so glad she still trusts in God b/c people leave the body of Christ, the faith, and the church often BECAUSE the church doesn't do what it is supposed to...AND blame God.
I was getting counsling from a pastor once and I was a memeber of the church. During the counseling session, the pastor asked me if there was any reason why I hadn't paid tithes in the last month...long story short, 2 months later, I stopped attending that church. I was there for marital counseling, but he decided to bring up tithes when the reason I was there didn't have ANYTHING to do with my reason....ok aight
Felt weird when he would publicly show what he gives others and the rest of the church would be so upset. Plus he gave his mom luxury goods on stage as apart of the sermon, which was weird
The POTTERS HOUSE in Denver does that too! They wouldn't help my friend with a light bill he owed. The CHURCH TREASURY pulled a book out and TOLD HIM he hasn't paid enough tithes! THE POTTERS HOUSE TOLD HM THIS!
Very sad situation. May we all learn the importance of reading the scriptures to see what Jesus says, we must obey him not the traditions of men. Amen.
I once attended a church that denied my monetary request for help as well. I had been tithing until my funds ran out so I asked them to help me with a month's rent so I could graduate college and the "benevolence" staffer said not to ask the church for help; ask God. As I understand scripture, it is through the church that God helps, He rarely answers prayer miraculously (loaves and fishes). Well, needless to say I stopped attending that church. What ended up happening to me is I had to sell all my furniture, break my lease so I could live in a cheaper part of town (away from the college), and the college put my degree on hold until I paid the balance of the tuition. It was a very Job-like time of my life for about 6 months, then God blessed me with a high paying job that allowed me to pay off my tuition. I really like that job because I was able to move around, including living on a tropical island, in the desert, and near resort towns! God provides for those who trust Him.
It is sad that she wasn't helped by a Church but was helped by a non Church program. May God help us do better if He blesses us with such positions in Churches.
It IS true! The many stories I could tell regarding this subject……..TSK TSK! People have a hard time believing how Churches are stingy with certain members. Seems like the “budget” is reserved for traveling and paying chart-topping Gospel artists.
When I use to tithe, I didn't pay it, I gave. Paying is like a debt that you can never get out of. The lady made a mistake by showing everything to evil people. I remember one time I asked for help with food and they sent me a bible.
Whe people have nowhere to go the Church is supposed to help them no matter what.that why you pay tithes it goes to God and he pour you out a Blessing. You are supposed to help one another. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Different megachurch but: I had a relative who got a flat tire at church because the church moved a parking sign, but lift a very small undetectable part of the metal post in the parking lot. We were leaving one evening and she ran over that metal post. Her tire immediately went flat before we could depart from the parking lot. The police officer on sight took a report and church staff were informed and came out. Nevertheless, when she had her tire replaced, they paid for the tire, but not the amount to have it balanced. It reflected poorly on the church to me because she would not have needed the tire balanced except that she had to have it replaced due to their negligence. I know this situation does not compare to what the young lady in the video went through but it shows a prevailing mindset in a lot of these institutions: Be generous with us, so that we can be stingy with you.
I didn’t come to preach today but I have a business checking account that has a minimum balance that if I’m not there the bank charges me a fee for upkeep. A building might have a cross at the front and bibles in the pews but the minute you have to have a “minimum balance” for the building and its people to start noticing you…that’s not a church - that’s a financial institution.
If you can spend money on 40ft trampolines and all the other stage props you can help your members
And also cut the bs.
Thank you for this comment!!! I was just thinking about this. All these stupid props and you can't give $1500. Pure shame!
THIS IS WHAT I CAME TO SAY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Now how about that?!!! AMEN!!! That place is nothing but a circus full of CLOWNS!!!
And none members who needs it. I do agree that people should explain why they need help to determine if the need financial counseling to manage better. Helping is a temporary solution
I had something extremely similar happen to me. However, I wasn’t even asking for money. I asked if they could give me a job. Turns out, since I wasn’t on the big tithing roll, they said “No.” The gag is, 12 years later, the pastor of the church went to prison for financial crimes- scamming old people in the congregation. God is not mocked.
God protected you because he knew what was happening behind the scenes!
@@kendragreene5953You’re so right! I could have gotten caught up in an investigation as an employee. God blocked it.

Bravo. I'm glad the wolf was locked up.
I was church treasurer for over 30 years. We nevver revealed who we helped. Only the deacons and i knew the person helped. We helped those in need.
God bless yall❤
That’s how it should be.
My church is a small church but a portion of the tithes go to a yearly scholarship for graduating high school students to further their education. My brother was married at 19 & they helped him get a decent reliable car to help him, his wife, & the kids since they were a young married couple. They also helped me pay for my school books! I love my church
This is the way!

This really makes me upset and sad how the church didn’t want to help her because she didn’t give a certain amount. Ridiculous!!!😡
That's one of the main reasons I don't go to church.
(Anonymous replier) You don’t go because you got discouraged by going to the wrong church.
Sorry, that excuse for not loving the body won’t cut it when you stand before the Great White Throne.
Now, that was the answer that really had me at attention!
I’ll be honest just based off my own experience one may be better off standing on the street corner with a help me sign.
AGREED
Just based off the title, I can CONFIRM that it IS true. Me and my family desperately needed help (we were homeless but God blessed us to live in a weekly) so I reached out to them but in order for us to be qualified for help we had to tithe for 6 months. At the time, I would tithe 10% (before I found your channel and learned better than that) faithfully and had been tithing 10% for a couple years.
My family and I were so disgusted that we decided to seek help in other ways and continued to pray. We're doing a lot better now. Glory be to God.
Side note: this wasn't the first time we have been disgusted by how Transformation Church "helps" people but that's a story for my mom to share. I will be sharing this video to her.
Tithing isn’t in the New Testament, God loves a CHEERFULL giver
Tithe was never money. It was crops. It was given to the Levites, widows, orphans, and needy. Please read your Bible to know the truth. 🙏🏽💖
@@kelvinmorris1991tithing can also be your service you give to the Lord. Not just money.
@@latashalea944 they also gave gold and silver, cattle and other livestock. Nothing should be too good to give to a Godly work. He that sows bountiful shall reap bountiful.
I experienced this I lost part of my house a pastor came here look at it and looked at me and give me hope never seen him get the most faithful time I was to the Lord seeing him come to a revival talking about how preachers are dropping like flies but he is preaching to a Congress that votes and love Donald Trump he is one of the flies and he laingthe eggs preaching that it's going to be abundance you going to have more than what you ever had sow your tides😢😂😂😂
I pray that this young woman can see, that she don't need to tithe for the Lord to help her or bless her
Right she's already blessed!!
You’re right but God still wants us to tithes and give offering and it unlocks supernatural blessing financially if you don’t tithes you’ll still be blessed and God will certainly help you always because you’re his child but when you tithe and give offering there’s supernatural blessings that are different if you compare a giver to a non giver there’s always a huge difference in there finances and oftentimes those people who are extremely blessed started giving when they were extremely poor and God exploded their finances and I am a first hand witness people just say ohh we don’t have to tithe now in the New Testament because they love money and the love of money is the root of all evil you can’t love money and God at the same time you must cling to one and despise the other the Bible talks about tithing all throughout the New Testament before Jesus died and after he died so I don’t get why people try to twist and say we are not to tithe other than they must love money more than God and more than his house money is nothing to me I’m free to give and because of that every time I turn around God is blessing me financially a lot of times instantly too and other times the seed takes time to manifest and I’ve lived most my life as a non tither and giver and the moment I started tithing and giving my finances have never been the same there is a huge difference so no you don’t have to tithe to get to heaven but if you want Gods blessing and favor on your finances on your business on your job etc then you need to give to see such blessings otherwise you’ll just be watching God help you out of financial burdens but when you tithe and offer consistently you no longer have to go through financial burdens and I am a witness I’m speaking from my knowledge of reading the entire Bible and my life style and watching what God has done in my life as well as the other givers around me
Some people get so much back from it though..
Exactly! Some times it’s just better money management
This is one of my issues concerning the modern church is the fact that very few will help the poor and we read throughout the Bible that we are as Believers responsible to help the poor as we are able to
Seeing these preachers/pseudo-pastors that are truly profiting off the Lord financially, and that money only gospel which is effectively just to improve their status drives me nuts, especially when it makes the body of Christ look bad.

@@platinumboy89 ~ feel the same here! We know where they will be standing come judgement day if they don't repent.
Many will help when it's extremely visible and they can get a lot of mileage from it. But regular every day poor people? Most times, no. Not flashy enough.
In the past as a believer I reached out to several well known ministries and they said that is not their ministry, apparently they don't read that part of the Bible
I love how Mr. Todd seems to "bless," someone in front of everyone, instead of in secret...
That is a very interesting point, especially since Jesus said to not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3).

@@anthonyholley8795 The first thing I thought when I saw this was he was scamming and getting the money back after the service.
She’s absolutely correct. I know of a church that requires $10k minimum giving before they will “consider” helping. Ironically, that’s the exact figure that the IRS has set for charitable contributions deduction.
😮
Unacceptable! No excuse , they should’ve helped her
I remember this in a church we attended back in Richmond, VA. We were very active in the church. I worked in the book & tape ministry & my husband was in the camera ministry. We were faithful givers, tithes, offerings, church anniversaries, pastors & wedding anniversaries, birthdays & their vacations. Abd it was set amounts. One time for their vacation, they chose Paris. And each member had to give $300. Then one Sunday morning the pastor said, if you ask the church for money, the 1st thing they are going to do is check the books to see if you're a tither. If not the answer is no. That was eye-opening. I said to myself I pray that we never have to ask the church for a dime. Thank God, the truth has set me free :)
How long did y’all go there?
@@karenmartin4221 Too long at least 8 yrs. My then-husband got saved at the church. I grew up holiness. And he was trying to do everything right. One day he told me, he needed to get a part-time job to keep up with all the giving. My sister who came to visit told me years later, said we were in a cult. My husband stopped going & within a year or so he accepted a job & we moved out of state. I stayed but paid tithes & gave offering only. None of that extra stuff, It was bad. He would visit other churches until we relocated.
Wow!!! Sounds like the same church I attended in Richmond, VA. I too was in need of some financial help. After 3 times they did decide to help me but not for the amount I requested.
So many people being mislead in that church. So many young people being mislead.
What’s a great spin tho is that there are those that were sleeping like her are waking up. Mike Todd put out a video complaining about his long term staff member telling him that GOD told her to leave the church he was at. Those who are sleeping GOD is waking up. For every negative video I see about this kind of thing. GOD wakes up 6 more people. He will get those back who are led astray. He is running after them!!

That's because they want to be entertained. They want to believe they can serve God and still wallow in iniquity, spend crazy money on weed, gamble and club instead of reading the Word for themselves. You have to tithe in a real church of God, save money for a rainy day, pay bills, then enjoy.
8:14 This was one of our wake up calls in our church, my husband got laid off from the church and he had a death in the family and needed help for a plane trip and since he worked there the lady he worked with told him he wouldn't get it because they have reached there giving limits to help the need. Praise I AM He open aa door and some one heard of his needs and blessed him with a round trip , he didn't have to pay for anything, he got a rental, hotel and plane ticket with and first class . These churches are operating like a business! This is why we left the system of churches and decided to do homechurch and homeschooling. In Jesus name Amen
That’s wild. I told my husband the same about many of the churches operating like a business. Bringing in branding consultants, marketing tactics, you name it.

@@markeitabyrd1909 likewise. To have that kind of fervour for the Lord for His Word is an amazing thing to witness- just as how those who followed Christ gave up their lives in order to share his message- as Christ himself gave up his life for all our sin: to take it back up again and offer us eternal life. How great and glorious our God is!
And SO MANY regular tithers are living in poverty and wondering why! 🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨
Wow! This is so sad…
Churches always collect offering and tithes every week. There should be something in place for legitimate members when they fall on hard times.
$1500 isn’t too much for a mega church. That’s why I give as I feel it. I’m always cheerful because I give as I can afford. I wouldn’t ask the church for help because of this. God will always take care of a cheerful giver. ❤🙏🏽😊
Church is not the building, IT'S THE PEOPLE! God help us!
If you truly think about your statement it’s so scary…. It’s the people, so who are they tithing to?? What are they tithing to?? It’s a dangerous sentence.
@@shayalmasy101 How is it dangerous?
@@OnlinewithMathuto I don’t want to put too many of my assumptions out here. What you said here was very very real and a revelation I had as I read it. If we are the body of CHRIST and we are the church going to a building and making tithes equates in my mind a corporation. Gathering is fine, having a building is fine also!! Nothing is wrong with this, but to me it screams corporation from the video and if people thought more along these lines as you and I being the church we can stop these Mega churches and become a community again.
The seers don’t see, the discerners don’t discern and then these buildings once inhabited by men of GOD become corporations and corporations truly only give to corporations where their money grows.
It’s just some thoughts I am cycling thru… nothing concrete not speaking on anyone or anything that is factual, really. Just taking note of the Holy Spirit showing me somethings I must pray about. Don’t take my word as gospel, but truly pray about these things for yourself. Your sentence should be waking people up. It is a dangerous sentence and they should understand the magnitude of what is written here. Blessed day to you!! 💖
@@shayalmasy101 I hear you. And I agree with you. God help us.
If you read your Bible, God instructed His chosen people (Israelites) to tithe to the Levites because they did not have land of their own and they were doing the will of God. Tithing was always livestock and crops, never money and they had money then. Tithing is not taxes, they paid taxes in the Bible days. Tithing became money and a secular obligation around the 6th Century to the church building. Man ran with this idea and it stayed. This was not originally done in America, but eventually it was. God said He would supply all our needs, but it doesn’t say if we pay tithes. This concept is man made and it’s not taught according to Scripture. The Scriptures are twisted to mean what they want. God said help the poor, widow, ect. You don’t need to go to a building to do that. We should give to our communities and others. God loves a cheerful giver so that’s what we should do. Cheerfully give to people we come across, expecting nothing in return.
Sometimes God wants someone else to bless you so He can get the glory. Blasting what you’re doing for other pple to get glory, they have their reward. So happy that everything worked out. God is faithful!!
My brother was a life long member of the Church Of God In Christ and paid tithes and offerings faithfully for over 50 years. He died and I performed the funeral for my brother. I asked the "Bishop, Pastor, or whatever title he claimed, at "Saint's College" in Lexington Mississippi to have the funeral at their church and the repast at their gym as this was big enough for the expected guests. He gladly allowed me to have the funeral there; however, what took me aback, he said we could have the funeral and reception there for only $750.00. I could not believe it that they charged us after my brother had been giving for over 50 years of tithe and offerings...what a scam and what a greedy pastor...one of the main reasons i got out of this false teaching organization...what a shame.
His funeral service and repass part of membership FREE PART OF THE MEMBER MEMBERSHIP LORD HELP 😮
I grew up in COGIC (Church Of God in Christ) I left the beginning of this year. That doesn’t surprise me whatsoever. Sorry they did that to your brother.
This sort of sounds like an entitlement. Do you think your brother gave his tithes so that when he died, you won't spend a dime for his burial?
@@knightingirl why not?
This is what they do. When a minister I know was being ordained one of the high elders came down the line demanding an extra 10 dollars from each one of the ordainees, no explanation what it was for or who he was. This after he had to pay for his classes to begin with, and if he hadn't been giving at a certain level he'd have never been ordained in the first place. Cogic typical
This is so true. My mom had a friend who had been tithing to and I want to say creflo dollars church or osteen for years and when she needed help for a bill around the early 2000s they told her she didn’t tithe enough to be helped. Sad world we live in.
I once belonged to a church, immediately after people finish New Members Class the head Deacon met with people individually. The purpose was to ask if he/she needed anything frat the church could do for them. At that time I had not been working, needed to pay one month’s rent and electric bill. Later that week I was given paperwork and attached me rent information and electric bill. The Pastor signed off and my bills weee paid. Take it that at that time I had not tithed because I had just completed New Members Classes. That Pastor has a live for God’s people and the church is still growing and being blessed in so many ways.
This so much reminds me of the pharacees of how they do their giving in front of men to feed their own pride
That lady said she went to 19 other churches, and NOONE was led by the spirit to give her even one dollar?!! This is an embarrassment!
My man, I gave to my church & other known “main ministries”. I wrote a prophetic book that has evidences that my dream in the book is true. I reached out to all of them to simply invite me on their platform or broadcast & they all ignored or shut me down. And they continue hounding me for more of my money. Yet, promoting your partners book would get me some sales to give back to them but oh no. They only care about your money not you. The church today isn’t about Christ & souls. It’s about money, fame, popularity. If I didn’t know a 100% that Christ is the way I would run like a thief away from the church & be a Muslim or anything else except a church. They operate totally different from the book they read from. It’s hypocritical how they demonstrate the word of God.

Case and point, churches have to be (Holy) Spirit filled in order to be led by the (Holy) Spirit.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (Matthew 6:3-4 ESV).

I had a little something similar happen when I reached out to Transformation Church for rental assistance a couple of years ago. I used to be apart of Transformation Nation at that time.

@okay5045 It may be time to leave that church (if you are still there). My church helps as soon as you ask. We all may need help at some point.
Why are churches even keeping a list of names of people and how much they give?
Church membership is NOT biblical either
For tax purposes mainly. I figured out that you can write off church donations off your taxes and the churches themselves get a tax exemption for every member, that's why they keep records of your baptism also. It's a business
I prayed for God to lead me to my church. When I wanted to place my children in private school my church helped me cover tuition for 3 CHILDREN. Not all churches are for Christ some are for the money. We have to pray for God to lead us to where we need to be. I thank God for my church family.
I hate that when people need help, the first thing people think is, "their not fiscally responsible", when it can be a lot of issues that can crop up that has nothing to do with irresponsibility.
You got laid off your job. "Take this finances class. You're irresponsible."

New to this channel. I have been binge watching ever since finding it. Up to this morning I have been pondering the things I've heard/learned here. I believe the message(s) on this channel has simplified Christianity. It has removed the fluff and noise.
This is my first comment. I am not saying the church is a free for all, not even for members. However, if what this young lady said is true in its entirety then it is disheartening that this flashy preacher/church/ministry could not give to her after she clearly documented her plight.
Its a low down shame 😔.
Transformation Church is a multi-level social group? I know congregations who have been blessed with money from people who just walk in and visit once and they (the congregation) also have blessed others, who have never visited at all but are known to be in need. Give to give - don't worry about the blessing.

WOW, money hungry church. I was a newbie at a Calvary church, not a member , only there less than 6 months. I fell into financial despair. I needed help with rent, only $500.00. I asked the Pastor if they can help. All he did was asked me to email the church what my needs are. The board would go over it. A week later, I had a check for what I asked for, I needed help for 2 months rent, they helped me there again.
This is a church that lives the book of Acts teaching , 2:42.
And yes Cory, your right with the church putting aside $ to help the body. That is what this church does.
Praise God for God fearing churches.
This is one of those "dry" topics that churches always avoid to discuss, been one that might bring a division, but the call is to give. Thanks for sharing.
Those households of faith have NO trouble talking about it (ad nauseum) when they're the ones doing the asking.
Make it make sense!
That’s why I stopped giving to the church I used to attend for almost 8 years. From 19-27years of age I have gave weekly. Hopefully I gave to the bishops offering, church offering ,yearly First Lady offering, biweekly, guess, speaker offering, and random “sow a seed” offerings. From 19-24 I wasn’t making that much money and had rent, phone , utilities, and car insurance payments. Still I tied on top of all of these offerings. Yearly are tired out of my income tax too. My grandmother passed away when I was 25 and I got super depressed and couldn’t work. I was two months behind on my car payment and just needed help with that solely because I was back to working. My church told me no. I even said I would pay that back just didn’t want to face a repo. I gave faithfully all the time and never got my “seed blessing”. I gave thousands of dollars every year and the bishop with the doctors agree with a good job, couldn’t help me. All that money I was given to church should have been going into savings account for myself. Because when I needed money, the most, I couldn’t even turn to the church that I attended 5 days out the week.
Bad practices come from bad teachings. Bad teachings come from bad interpretation. I hope you found a more faithful church.
Felt 😔🙏🏾💜
That man is sure greedy for wealth.
My family’s eyes were opened years ago, when we were in a church for years and we were ministers there as well. We needed help financially and were living in a hotel with 3 kids, and we came to the pastor to ask for help and he said “yeah, but you have to be put on a repayment plan and you all have to pay interest and fill out a contract of repayment and it needed to be paid back in 30 days”. At that point we were like NOPE! Never again! We left that situation shortly after that, and God delivered us from that valley. Sometimes God is trying to test the heart of that church as well, just to see what the motives are. And I kid you not that church shut down about 1 year later. 🤷🏽♀️
This is why I left "the church". Too much hypocrisy. When I saw how others were being treated and when my mom passed away in 2008 and how I was played to the left, I said ENOUGH! BYE FELICIA! 💯✋🏾

I know that girl was there long enough for them at least to give her back the $1k she asked for. Or give her back her total in offerings.

I have been in the same situation as this young lady and went to my church at the time. I was given the help I needed and taught how not to get into the situation again. I met a member of the deacon/finance board and I signed up for a financial awareness class. What a blessing for the help.
That church with their misdeed could lose a regular giver for tithe and offerings. How sad. Giving your tithes and offerings without fully understanding how to manage your money is wrong. You can't tithe your bread.
Now that's church!
I attended a church that was keen on organising free talk events for the congregation. They brought in professionals such as those in finance, HR managers, business coaches, fitness coaches, entrepreneurs. They offered a platform for their members to acquire much needed knowledge.
The dynamic of the church that was set up was that Every Believers Needs were met. God has shown me that if the pastor has a home , car etc. Everyone in that ministry who have shown themselves Faithful and to be a true part of that ministry should be helped. If you say that we can't do that for everyone because our church is too big, then your church is too Big! I love the church but I've seen too many times being a part of the ministry staff and close up, that they help who they want to help. It's not right that the pastor and his family all drive Mercedeses or Rolls but there are people in the congregation that don't have a car. The Pastors daughter goes to college in a private jet but the Single mother struggling and have to get a loan for her child to go to college . I don't have a problem with Pastors living good, they should, but God wants to bless Everyone who is serving, not just him. But God shown me that many Pastors are hoarding the blessings Gid wants to pass on to his people for themselves. That's why so many or so wealthy and even rich and have faithful people in their church struggling to pay rent, yet still giving. Don't get me started. Gods system is Always the best system, No Doubt!!!
Same thing happened to me in the city where I live. Taught me to stop thithing quickly. I ended up taking out a loan. So I thank God for removing me from the Law.
He probably used that poor child as a prop? That was probably monopoly money or he had to give it back after the service was over. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Why couldn't HER CHURCH help her with some of what she needed if not all of it? God is everywhere and this time He was in a program to help her. Fir we walk by faith and NOT by sight. Amen
That Malachi chapter is always taken out of context. If people read the chapter before and the beginning they’ll see that it was an open rebuke to the Levitical Priests for withholding proceeds from the people. This Todd guy is a mentee of Robert Morris. His messages are just like him. He’s sick!
A: Context
Q: Name a hermeneutical rule name-it-and-claim-it preachers never observe
This is shameful!! 🤦🏽♀️
What's also sad is his congregation is making him rich with their tithes and offerings all the while they are struggling and in need like this young lady.
16:07 wait. He has a walk up video before church like he's an NBA player. Lawd!
He is so cringeworthy!😬
@@FourEverEvolving yes.. indeed he is. He had me watching for a hot second though. Especially when they were giving away all the money and all of that good stuff. I was like yeah that's what the church is supposed to be about. And then I kept watching it and I was like dang is teaching is a little off. And then he just kept on wearing more crazy clothes that had names on it and all of that stuff. And then when the spit hit hit hit the fan that was it.! I was like no sir!
Lol
@@williambrown4357 Discernment in you said, "Danger!" 🤣. We all have played the fool in our lives; thank God for wisdom! But so many who follow false prophets are desperate. They're focused by what they see dangled in front of them, and grew ears for only what their leaders say, that they no longer discern between falsehoods and the truth which is Jesus voice and God's word.🙏🏾
@@FourEverEvolving facts 💯💪🏾. The ears and eyes can easily be tickled. It's amazing, sad and true.
I do wonder how long before Mike goes into damage control.
Probably less than 48 hours. My whole thing though is, not defending MT or TC, but we don't know if she's telling the truth. I've seen too much on how people do to get clicks and attention. Including one Mike Todd.
@@williambrown4357 I believe her, she wouldn’t go public without receipts. They could sue
@@williambrown4357I see your perspective but I feel she’s not at all clout chasing. 🙏🏾
@@williambrown4357 I believe her. It happened to me at my own church 😔
@@Kari_Michele definitely hate hearing that. I pray that you have seen God's hand get you out of your situation and can witness His greatness. There definitely are churches, ministries and people of God who do what we as Christians should have the heart to do.
Mr. Corey keep doing God's work by exposing this man and other crooked so-called pastors. This is sad and a shame. Thank God she was blessed by what she needed.
If there are many churches acting this way then this is why there are so many homeless people on the streets.
My sister goes to this "church" and I am appalled that there's a LOT of people that go there and get screwed over all because of a charismatic message.
TC also pays off student loans and blesses members with vehicles. I did reach out to them about help with purchasing a property here in ga and they told me they couldn’t help my dream this time
Our church has helped members and non members. Each request is reviewed by our deacons and financial staff by guidelines put in place but we try to help the person if we can and if not refer them to another agency or church if we can't depending on how much is needed. and situation they have as each one is different.
Please! If MT can give away money during a service like he's done, then surely he can help his own!
@@DonnaMarie007 I agree I was just stating what we do as we are a small church but we do try help as best we can. . He surely can probably help more than we could.
I'm a faithful tither and I have needed help at least three times over the 12 years I've been going to my church and they have helped me every time I've asked.
“Partner” is a member. It’s the “new word” for it. So, it’s a “collective responsibility that everyone carries” for that church.
Any mega church, ( normally have two services), the pastor can announce that one of our brothers or sisters ( without giving a name), is in need, I want everyone who can give, ... to give $5 dollars at both services, and her need would have been met 10 times over.... If the people of God would have been asked to give $1 dollar at both services, her need would have been met.... It's just that simple....we make giving complicated, but receiving easy......
I Know How She Feels I Went through the same thing 😢🥺😭
THIS is downright SAD.They took what she gave and after having all her needs lined up as proof they STILL didnt help? People wonder why the church gets looked at funny and why some believe sime pastors are in it for their pockets.SMH this is unjust to me.
God Bless This is one of your Best videos ever Thank you
Wow that is heartbreaking. God bless you young lady.🙏🏾🙌🏿
I had that same experience with a popular large church in Detroit.
I was there for a long time and had to fill a application out, and one of the questions was about tithes. Also at the beginning of the year you pay to have the pastor prophesied to you. It was one week sacrifice. I was naive concerning the ways of some churches.
I let this go on but always
felt some way about it. I eventually left and when I
left began to build my relationship with God and let the Holy Spirit lead me. I have no church hurt as they say, but disappointed in people. People put their trust in churches to help when in need, unfortunately there’s no help for the people.
I question everything now.
To God be the GLORY!
Which church? And have you heard of living waters j moss church?
@@libby568it was probably Word of Faith, Straight Gate or Great Faith Ministries
As a PK, this is despicable! When the church needs to build big buildings and jets, the Pastor asks you! When you need, the church sends you to God!!
Stunts, Stunts, Stunts after Stunts
Just had this conversation within my brothers today. If tithing and giving offering is continued within the church of God, it should be to help the body of Christ and those who are in need.
All Glory goes to God. This young lady reaembles Pastor Kadesh Jenkins..WoW!
I have issues with these Black churches in which the pastor has a lavish lifestyle living in gated communities, more than one luxury vehicles and while 80% of his congregants are living paycheck to paycheck and single mothers with more children that they can afford to support. If God blesses them then why isn't God blessing the congregants??? The ones who are faithful but continue to struggle. One thing I know only the elite members get invited into the pastor's circle because they're the biggest financial supporters. Just like the movie "Greenleaf" where the affluent members get invited into the mansion for these elaborate dinners.
God is NOT a respecter of persons yet these famous preachers discriminate between the rich and those on fixed incomes who give sacrificially.
not the versace shoes not even knowing that man's show size 😅
This is truly a shame 😢😢 I'm so glad she did get help. Girl take your good money to a real church. See this why I don't go to a big church because you're just a number to them 😢😢 my cute little church only has 22 members ❤❤ and you ask how we stay open? God and we help others for real 💞🙏
That is ridiculous that a person doesn't qualify to be helped. I've never heard of that. Everyone qualifies. Then in order to be qualified you have to give a certain amount. What if you didn't have funds to give but you gave in other ways. My heart hurts for her. If I heard her story when I was blessed I would have helped and I don't even know her. Peace and blessings to her.
This happens at small churches also. My friend and her family was a member of her church since childhood lost her 20 yr old in a car accident and her home church only agreed to do the service because they were close with a big name gospel singer(we all know her) who was her child’s godmother once the church found out the gospel singer wouldn’t be able to attend they turned my friend her family away tho they have been members for over 30 years. 😢 she went to another church for her child’s funeral service.
I was giving tithes faithfully until I got a marriage problem, the Pastor didn’t want to see my husband and me for counseling. The marriage counselor charges $250/ hr . From that point on I stop giving money.
Hopefully you didn't waste your money on a counselor. Scripture and the Holy Spirit is the only Counselor you need. Not trying to sound like a self righteous holy rollers just don't like to see people waste their money on that stuff.
Nooooooooooo 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
@@TrevorSTL79 that’s bad advice. They should find a reasonably priced one.
@Thatgirl12-fp3uq I agree!
@@Thatgirl12-fp3uq I respectfully disagree. Scripture has all the counseling you need. And the Holy Spirit would never steer you wrong. However if a Christian is determined to throw their money away I recommend a Christian counselor. Non Christian counseling and therapy is steeped in gnostic/atheistic/new age dogma.
I am born and raised in Tulsa Oklahoma where this church is located when he first came to town everyone was so excited but it was something that I did not like about him it was something that threw me off all my friends and a lot of my family goes to this church and they just can't see what I see I've never attended never wanted to because I don't feel the spirit of the Lord in him and every time I see a video like this it's proving me right
I ain't feeling all these preachers falling out over million dollar gifts and won't give a poor person .50 cents.
I needed help from my church once and didn't get it. I learned a valuable lesson which influences how I give now. I pay well above a tithe but I no longer give it solely to my church.
Amen and amen, Brother Corey 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 ❤️
the money changers
I'm so glad she still trusts in God b/c people leave the body of Christ, the faith, and the church often BECAUSE the church doesn't do what it is supposed to...AND blame God.
I was getting counsling from a pastor once and I was a memeber of the church. During the counseling session, the pastor asked me if there was any reason why I hadn't paid tithes in the last month...long story short, 2 months later, I stopped attending that church. I was there for marital counseling, but he decided to bring up tithes when the reason I was there didn't have ANYTHING to do with my reason....ok aight
That's none of his business!
Felt weird when he would publicly show what he gives others and the rest of the church would be so upset. Plus he gave his mom luxury goods on stage as apart of the sermon, which was weird
The POTTERS HOUSE in Denver does that too! They wouldn't help my friend with a light bill he owed.
The CHURCH TREASURY pulled a book out and TOLD HIM he hasn't paid enough tithes!
THE POTTERS HOUSE TOLD HM THIS!
Very sad situation. May we all learn the importance of reading the scriptures to see what Jesus says, we must obey him not the traditions of men. Amen.
I worked for a megs church and I left because of the scams they are not for the members
I once attended a church that denied my monetary request for help as well. I had been tithing until my funds ran out so I asked them to help me with a month's rent so I could graduate college and the "benevolence" staffer said not to ask the church for help; ask God. As I understand scripture, it is through the church that God helps, He rarely answers prayer miraculously (loaves and fishes). Well, needless to say I stopped attending that church. What ended up happening to me is I had to sell all my furniture, break my lease so I could live in a cheaper part of town (away from the college), and the college put my degree on hold until I paid the balance of the tuition. It was a very Job-like time of my life for about 6 months, then God blessed me with a high paying job that allowed me to pay off my tuition. I really like that job because I was able to move around, including living on a tropical island, in the desert, and near resort towns! God provides for those who trust Him.
It is sad that she wasn't helped by a Church but was helped by a non Church program. May God help us do better if He blesses us with such positions in Churches.
It IS true! The many stories I could tell regarding this subject……..TSK TSK!
People have a hard time believing how Churches are stingy with certain members. Seems like the “budget” is reserved for traveling and paying chart-topping Gospel artists.
Matthew 6:3-4. Even the church should follow this guideline.
I agree with you 💯 percent with the other church's not helping, but if she was a member this is soooo wrong
Young Lady: I'm coming to you to ask for financial help.
Church: Well you haven't given anything so
When I use to tithe, I didn't pay it, I gave. Paying is like a debt that you can never get out of. The lady made a mistake by showing everything to evil people. I remember one time I asked for help with food and they sent me a bible.
Whe people have nowhere to go the Church is supposed to help them no matter what.that why you pay tithes it goes to God and he pour you out a Blessing. You are supposed to help one another. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Different megachurch but: I had a relative who got a flat tire at church because the church moved a parking sign, but lift a very small undetectable part of the metal post in the parking lot. We were leaving one evening and she ran over that metal post. Her tire immediately went flat before we could depart from the parking lot. The police officer on sight took a report and church staff were informed and came out.
Nevertheless, when she had her tire replaced, they paid for the tire, but not the amount to have it balanced. It reflected poorly on the church to me because she would not have needed the tire balanced except that she had to have it replaced due to their negligence. I know this situation does not compare to what the young lady in the video went through but it shows a prevailing mindset in a lot of these institutions: Be generous with us, so that we can be stingy with you.
I didn’t come to preach today but I have a business checking account that has a minimum balance that if I’m not there the bank charges me a fee for upkeep.
A building might have a cross at the front and bibles in the pews but the minute you have to have a “minimum balance” for the building and its people to start noticing you…that’s not a church - that’s a financial institution.
