The founder of Winners’ Chapel International, Bishop David Oyedepo took to Twitter to state that anyone who doesn’t pay will not prosper and “under a financial curse” and this has led to an argument.
On Thurday, Bishop Oyedepo took to his social media page where he wrote;
Tithing is an inescapable covenant obligation. Prosperity not just wealth is impossible without tithing, because when you’re not paying your tithe, you’re under a financial curse.

Tithing cannot create wealth! Wealth creation occurs when you deploy capital to create value. When X gives 1/10 of his earnings to your church, there’s no production or investment, thus he has not created value, but only enriched you. Tithing is a church sponsored ponzi scheme

Pentecostal pastors/bishops, please leave tithing and sowing of seed for now, and preach salvation, repentence and virtue. Sacrifice those money on the alter of societal repair. You can’t be preaching tithing in a corrupt and evil society. Our country needs urgent resuscitation.

Nigerian pastors love capitalising on our dysfunctional govt. Yet, there are countries with majority non-Christian population without any financial curse.
They simply have functional govts that ensure employment, healthcare, social safety nets, pension ans home ownership plans.

Sincerely hope Bishop Oyedepo is referring to the Prosperity that comes from God. Earthly Prosperity, which is displayed by Material Acquisition et al, foundly followed by most of our Preachers have nothing to do with Tithing. In actual fact, most businessmen would rather joy in receiving, and not in giving. Our God have His ways of prospecting His followers, even when they fail to pay tithe regularly.

All those talk nah for brainwashed followers. Prosperous western businessmen and women don’t even go to church, let alone pay tithes. Yet they are more successful than the ones that do.

Deuteronomy 26:10-12 10 and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.” Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him. 11 Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.
12 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. U will never see all this thieves in south preach this verse so you won't know that your tithes are suppose to for the poor,the widow,the fatherless and the foreigners.

Matthew23:23. 23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
In the bible,it's always the prophets that speaks against injustice.they speak boldly to evil kings to change their ways.here,our pastors are ass lickers and always begging for tithes

Psalm 50:10-12, NKJV. “For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.”
