Thoughtless aggression on Tithing



By Lekan Fatodu

Undoubtedly, I am yet to understand the rationale of people campaigning against tithe payers and the payment itself, the practice of which could be traced back to historical acceptance of biblical right.

Those who are not paying and will never pay tithes are those very agitated and bitter that those who have chosen to pay and will continue to pay tithes based on their personal choice, conviction and beliefs are exercising that free will.

Contrary to that warped assumption and conclusion, the poor are not the biggest tithe payers in churches in Nigeria.The richest churches in Nigeria are not made of poor congregation and are not also domiciled in poor neighbourhoods.

In fact most of the worshipers in the mega and financially-formidable churches in Nigeria are among the most successful, educated, gifted and influential among us. Go and check again. So they are not the poor.

And these people, according to their regular testimonies, have seen the biblical concept of increase and multiplication which is said to be parts of the gains of tithe-payment work tremendously in their finances, businesses, services and other significant endeavors.
