God Does NOT Want Your Money — Stop Letting Them Lie to You

Let’s kill the lie once and for all.

God does not want your money.

He never asked for it.

He never needed it.

And Acts 17:24–25 makes that absolutely clear.

God made the world and everything in it.

He does not live in buildings made by human hands.

And He is not served by human hands as if He needs anything.

So why are so many churches operating like God is broke?

Why are pastors standing behind pulpits every Sunday shaking people down for 10% of their income, calling it “obedience,” “faith,” or “tithing,” when Scripture literally says God needs nothing?

The answer is simple and uncomfortable:

This isn’t God talking. This is man.

Man uses God.

Man uses fear.

Man uses guilt.

Man uses ignorance.

And the people suffer for it.

If God is the Creator of heaven and earth, explain this without insulting people’s intelligence:

How are you sending the money to Him?

Is there a divine bank account?

A heavenly routing number?

A spiritual Cash App?

No.

The money stays right here—paying salaries, buildings, luxury lifestyles, private jets, and influence. Yet people are told they’re “robbing God” if they don’t pay up. That’s not theology—that’s manipulation.

What’s truly sad is not just that churches collect money.

What’s sad is that people don’t question it.

They don’t stop and think.

They don’t read Scripture for themselves.

They don’t ask why a self-sufficient God somehow needs weekly payments from struggling families.

Instead, single mothers are pressured to give.

Poor families are guilted into giving.

People living paycheck to paycheck are told God is “watching” their generosity—while church leaders live comfortably off their obedience.

That is not holy.

That is not righteous.

That is not God.

Acts 17 exposes the whole scam:

God is the giver, not the beggar.

God gives life, breath, and everything else.

God is not dependent on human institutions to function.

So when a church is more obsessed with offerings than outcomes, more focused on collections than compassion, and more concerned with money than people—understand this clearly:

That church is not serving God.

It is serving itself.

Real faith does not start with your wallet.

Real faith does not threaten you with curses.

Real faith does not confuse God with a business model.

God doesn’t want your money.

Man does.

And it’s time people stopped confusing the two.
