THE BATTLE VS. THE WAR

PASTOR ASHIMOLOWO, ITS NOT ABOUT TITHES. ITS ABOUT LEADERSHIP, RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Dear Pastor Matthew,

Greetings. I am not sure if you will remember. Many years ago you accompanied my dear friend and brother Bishop Abraham Olaleye to my then Ilupeju office adjacent his home. A few times we have also been on the same Virgin flights either going to London or Lagos and once we sat next to each other.
I have just viewed your message at TREM where you spoke on Daddy Freeze and indeed the title of your message was on Tithing. In my opinion, Daddy Freeze will appear to have finally been shouted down from many eminent pulpits, but the issue he raised has raised the real issues, i.e.
*Financial Accountability in the church
*Judicious use of church resources
*Modest living by the clergy
*What the Bible truly says about tithing and a few doctrinal issues etc.

He has been called names but oddly none has used the Bible to repudiate what he said.
My advice to senior evangelical leadership like yourself is very simple. AFTER ALL THE NOISE FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE DEBATE, THE NAME CALLING, STOUT DEFENCE, SPINS, BRAVADO etc., PLEASE GO BACK INTO YOUR CONCLAVES AND HONESTLY CONSIDER THE MAIN ISSUE DADDY FREEZE RAISED AND THE OTHER ISSUES THAT FLOWED FROM IT AS MANY PEOPLE JOINED THE CONVERSATION.

Pastor, no doubt Freeze is a very boisterous young man, appears to have little respect for traditions and protocols etc., BUT HE RAISED KEY ISSUES AND SUPPORTED THEM WITH SCRIPTURES. AND NO ONE, I REPEAT, NO ONE COULD CONVINCINGLY CONTRADICT HIM FROM THE SAME BIBLE.
IN MY OPINION GOD HAS USED DADDY FREEZE TO GIVE PENTECOSTAL LEADERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW MANY THINGS AND SET CORRECTIONS IN PLACE. THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE COVERED WITH THEIR HASTE TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE RIGHT AND HE, WRONG.
Something profound has been set in motion and the Pentecostal movement cannot be the same again. For the first time the leadership has been successfully challenged in a major doctrinal position. And either we like to admit or not Daddy Freeze literally received a standing ovation.

Pastor, in my opinion, Daddy Freeze is a passionate believer. It is so obvious. He means well too. Now, his style and communication may be different and even irreverent, but he has been supported by many older, eminent men of the collar like Pastor ADELAJA. We should pay some attention to him and simply not harass him off. And we should not personalize the debate. It’s not about Freeze.

He should be taken seriously. We should concentrate on what he said and what he set in motion and not the fact that he beats his wife and other trite, mundane issues. Many church Ministers do worse: one of them even said on YouTube that masturbation is not wrong! A few have had issues at home, divorced, remarried etc. So!
And a Minister like you and father in the faith should not have gone to TREM to openly and maliciously talk about Freeze's domestic challenges with his wife and son. It was wrong and Unchristian and uncharitable. Even if you hate him so much, you shouldn’t have succumbed to this.

Well said... So sad, we haven't seen anyone with scriptural backings to counter daddy freeze's point. Knowledge is key!

If you know tithe is biblical click like
If you know tithe is a scam click share

God can just use anybody to sprayed His massege.

I know they must be a purpose for freez outburst.

Very correct, we need answers from our prominent Men of God.

From Most pastors reaction its safe to agree with Freeze. I noticed no orthodox churches have reacted to Freeze and Freeze never calls out these class of churches despite practicing tithing.

To the few supporting these Pastors and painting Freeze as demonic, I wish to remind you that history is on Freeze's side. The protestant churches disagreed with some teachings within Catholic, they were never demonic, Pentecostal churches disagreed with some teachings within Protestant churches, they were never demonic. Within Islam, there are different groups holding on to divergent teachings, they not demonic. The case of Freeze cannot be different.

Houses built on swallow foundation and cheap propaganda is bound to collapse. Pentecostal churches and leadership skilled in castigation of churches established before them like APC to PDP. Failed targets is imminent.

copy it and paste it here.........In mark 14:3-9. daddy freeze would've call Jesus a fraud. but did you know what Jesus is doing there? He was contrasting the faith of the woman,the woman is proven the evidence of faith.

The arguments about tithes is a funny one. How people can claim their giving to a church or pastor to buy a jet is a gift to god befuddles me. Do people really think god needs their money, or that if they use their money to help someone in need, their god would be displeased? Does scripture not say "in as much as you have done unto these that you see, suffice. There is no other word to describe the idiots but to call you sheep, I am afraid.

You should be using what your god gives you to glorify that god by building a godly society. I would suggest you spend a tenth of your earnings helping those who are in need. A god that doesn't like that is not worthy of being worshipped. And individuals who can't see reason in that deserve to be parted with their money.

And if you have so much to give to a pastor, perhaps the government should tax you more and use it to build roads, fix schools and electrify the nation!

Long live Daddy Freeze!
