A man of God has ordered his congregation members not to call him their spiritual father anymore if they fail to pay him tithe.
A Zambian pastor has shocked his congregation members after ordering them to stop calling him their spiritual father if they cannot pay him tithe.

According to Zambian Watch, Prophet Bernard Siame who is mostly known as ‘Commander 1’ urged all those who regard him as their spiritual father and yet don’t give him their tithes not to enter 2018 with that sort of behavior.

This comes as awareness on social media deepens urging churchgoers to desist from paying men of God tithe. The campaign championed by Nigerian OAP DaddyFreeze has left many pastors embarrassed as they have been unable to prove from the bible why members of their churches are subjected to compulsory payment of tithe every month.

In a Facebook posting, Prophet Siame who is the leader of Shammah Miracle Embassy and also the spiritual son of the controversial Prophet Andrew ‘Seer 1’ Ejimandu wrote: ‘That behavior of calling me your spiritual father without your tithe must remain in 2017.
“So, to respond to those people asking that ‘so, we can’t be your (spiritual) children, just because we are not paying tithe,’ I think every person must learn the principle of getting a blessing.

Blessings do not come by prayer and fasting. If that was the case, believe me, many people today wouldn’t be coming to church. They would be going to the mountain to pray and fast so that as they come back, they would return with ukwa bags full of money. When it comes to the principle of receiving finances, a person must be a giver. And one of the tools through this happens is the tithe…the 10 percent of your income,” he explained.

Prophet Siame added that the same rule applies to clergymen who looked up to other clerics as their spiritual fathers. He said returning tithe to spiritual fathers was a way of showing one’s loyalty and obedience.

“You can’t have children who are not obedient to you. Every child must be obedient to their fathers or mothers. For example, tomorrow I open another church and I put one of my sons or daughters there to pastor the church and they themselves are not givers. What you do attracts the same thing that you do to others. If you can’t give, God will never allow people to give to you,” he said.

Prophet Siame added: “So, a son of the prophet or Bishop, it cannot be me, it can be another person but its very important for them to lead by example. If people can’t see you give, they are not going to give to you. If for example, you are not showing love to others, are they going to show love to you? Definitely no! What you plant is what you reap.”

He also revealed that he too returns tithe to his spiritual father.
“And those people asking that ‘what about you prophet, do you give tithe?’ I am a dangerous giver. I even have some men of God who are not from my church and I pay the house rentals for them every month. But they are not my church members. We have made a covenant with them to support them. It’s part of giving tithe,” he said.

Achorise:
, Good calculation bro, but don't calculate spiritual things in that light. Don't be led by men but by GOD.
let God lead you.
Most people don't even pau tithe, genuine tithers will not be withdrawn becsuse someone lauched a campaign against their believe.
Some persons said God specifically told them to tithe, such persons leave them and God.
Any pastor that abuse the money in his control has God, the real owner to answer.

So you guys pay physical money to a spiritual god bah Smh
God Almighty has never told anybody to pay money to him, Yahweh, the god of scammers did so but many years ago and I wonder how such should apply to people in Nigeria who are poverty-stricken

Physical father is spotted those calling you spiritual are wasting their time i never call baba god spiritual finish na to call human i dey crazy .

Darkseid:
Just that one sentence is enough for me to leave that church and never return. I almost lost interest in Christianity till a friend invited me his church. There I met the most amazing preacher ever; he does more of motivational speaking and I've never heard him talk about village witches.

Sounds more like a seminar than a spiritual gathering to me.. from what you posted o!

tosyne2much:
The rants for tithe is really making Christianity lose its value these days.. Tithe this, tithe that. You won't make heaven if you don't pay your tithe. Poverty will be your portion if you don't pay it, bla bla bla

Seriously, religion has done more damage than repair to Africa because many people throw their senses away at the mention of religion. I can use my tithe to pay the school fees of the less privilege or use it to stock food stuffs at the orphanage home. Make any pastor use hell fire or poverty take threaten me, na him own wahala be that

Anyway, I'm still waiting for Pastor D. K Odukoya to be bashed about his stance on tithe

They wouldnt want to play with fire.

it is only fools like Daddy freeze that will believe all his cry and his pain for the strategy to demolished the the church of God. if you don't give keep your mouth short.. May be he like it or not, before his great grand father was born tithe have being paying, so it is non of his business, let him go and establish is own church that will not pay tithe and offering.. mind you nairaland is a social Media website, anybody can post nonsense and not all the information's here are true. why can't you put all the info on punch, vanguard and other related and sensible news report... All what I know is that, paying all tithes completely without righteous living or holy life, You can't make it to heaven.. And if you don't pay that doesn't mean, u will miss or make heaven..Tithes is not meant for pastors alone. it's to meant others people's needs and canter for the growth of the gospel. Adeboye doesn't have church its God Church.. so tell freeze to go and sleep. Go to the foundation which is the bible to learn. Hosea 4:6. Majority of you are lacking and destroyed because of your lack of knowledge.
