The majority of believers in the 21st Century are drawn to the idea of giving—whether through tithes, offerings, or other acts of generosity. In the Scriptures, the tithe was set apart as a holy portion, intended to honour God (YHWH) and support the work of His servants. However, as the faith has spread to the nations, the purpose and meaning of tithing has, in some cases, strayed from its biblical roots. Today, a new doctrine has emerged, often referred to as the “prosperity gospel,” which has shifted the purpose of giving toward personal gain and material blessing rather than sacrificial devotion.
Our Prophet and Prophetic Minister Isaac ‘Glory’ Essessien, a lifelong worshipper within the traditional foundations of faith, has served the LORD as a Christ-Believing Jew. Through The Same Gift Ministries, he has taken a stand against doctrines that distort the heart of giving. Rather than viewing offerings as investments for earthly gain, he calls believers back to the original spirit of generosity—giving to honour God (YHWH), bless His work, and aid others in need.
Each believer, each nation, and each community may have a unique way of worshipping Christ Jesus, yet we are united in our love for Him. However, it is crucial that we discern true teaching from false. Prophet and Prophetic Minister Isaac ‘Glory’ Essessien is committed to equipping this generation with the truth, reminding believers that while God (YHWH) blesses His people, our faith is not to be manipulated for personal wealth or prosperity. True worship is a life surrendered to Christ Jesus, not a transaction with God (YHWH).
Christ Jesus wants us to understand that as we have been freed from the Old Covenant, we must now move forward to the New Covenant that is centred on love (fulfilling the Old Covenant); and proceed from the customary tithe, to the practice of grace giving; giving however we feel necessary to further the Church.
Through Christ Jesus, we can be rest assured that we can return to the pure heart of worship and giving.
