Nigerian on-air personality (OAP) Ifedayo Olarinde, mostly known as Freeze, has berated (Nigerian) Christians for the acts of paying tithes, noting that nowhere in the bible are Christians instructed to pay.
Freeze penned his thoughts on social media whilst paying tribute to Linda Ikeji, who he held up as a model example of a proper Christian – she does not pay tithes but instead does all she can to help the less privileged.
According to Freeze, the Bible instructs the Levites to collect the tithes, and the Levites were Jewish, not Christians.
Quote
“God said all the tithe belong to the Levites in Numbers 18: 21. Do you know that Levites are not even Christians?? They are JEWS and they practice Judaism!!!” Freeze wrote. “Never in the bible was the role of the Levites or the tithe transferred from the Levite to any apostle, bishop, deacon, disciple, prayer warrior, pastor, priest, prophet, choir master, minister or any Nigerian pastor.
“None of the 12 disciples of JESUS collected tithe, so why are Nigerian pastors collecting it on their behalf?” he wondered.
“STOP PAYING TITHE, IT’S A SCAM! HELP THE LESS PRIVILEGED INSTEAD ~FRZ”
he emphatically ended.

paying of tithe is a Biblical command and it doesn't stop you from giving to the poor as the LORD blesses you. People should know that whether or not you pay your tithe God is still God.

paying of tithe is extensively God's command you can choose to or forget it it's your choice. even Paul wrote that the early. Christians gave to the ministry to support him. if Linda does not pay tithe as a Christian then it's her own principle.

i won't comment on his idea or whether or not Christians should pay tithes or do good deeds to the needy but the 10 commandments were also given to the Hebrews and Christians strive to live by them.
now as far as the very beautiful and luscious ms linda, almost all in the know she came into those extreme riches during the last election cycle, perhaps by some pdp chairman or associate. the treasury was drained to the dry bone and she may have been one of the lucky beneficiaries to chop chop on da national cake.

mtcheew!!! keep ur opinion to urself, if at all u read ur bible u wold see that helping the needy is different from paying tithe they both have their blessings, beside paying tithe is mandatory, u are paying to God and not to man, forget what the pastors do with it it doesnt concern leave that to God to judge
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Pastor TB Joshua Has A $60M Private Jet, SCOAN Prophet Owns The Most Expensive Jet In Nigeria
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has exposed popular prophet TB Joshua who allegedly denied he own a private jet.According to a recent information released to Sahara Reporters by NCAA, TB Joshua owns the most expensive private jet in Nigeria.
He reportedly took possession of the expensive Gulfstream G550 aircraft back in April 2015, a few months after his megachurch collapsed in Ikotun Egbe suburb of Lagos.
Registered as “Synagogue Of Nations,” the jet was purchased using the Bank Of Utah trustee as the front for purchasing the jet.
Pastor TB Joshua’s private jet is the most expensive of the four jets owned by popular Nigerian pastors.
The aircraft with registration # N131LK costs $3 million to maintain annually.
Though TB Joshua has been denying it in the past in order to avoid division among his followers, we can confirm to you that the man owns the most expensive jet in Nigeria at a whopping $60 million.
NCAA confirmed to Sahara reporters over the weekend that expensive aircraft on their record belongs to TB Joshua

i think we need to be enlightened as most of us are still ignorant,all pastors are just fake.the pastors in the most successful countries hardly enjoy luxuries like our pastors.archbishop of canterbury,england dont have a private jet.lets use our money wisely and pray to our god and make offerings u can afford,western countries dont believe there is god and there countries keeps growing,we believe and worship and we do night vigil,we die of hunger vrom fasting and where are we today.malaysia and singapore that were not better than nigeria ,now we cant even compare ourself to them lot,please lets leave tithe and do or die church and lets work hard and i believe god will judge us by our character,pounds now na 570naira ,dollars na 485naira ,cement na 2300 naira ,its a wake up call to us nigerians to stop supporting pastors to live a luxurious life ,
