A Nigerian man on twitter has dragged popular clergyman, David Oyedepo, for saying people who do not pay tithes are under a financial curse.
The cleric in a recent message about paying tithes, tweeted ;
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

In response, Wesley wrote ;
This is not true. There is no scripture that ties prosperity or wealth to tithing under the new priesthood.
We can’t be conveniently cherry-picking the scriptures to support what is sweet to our ears.
Heb 7:12
Let’s focus on the gospel of Christ and less on these covetous mssgs
You spend more time posting teachings on tithing than any other message. 2days ago, same message. 4 days ago, same message.
Please, preach more on the gospel. People need God now more than ever in these last days.
God’s love surpasses material things or money money money.
