A Nigerian pastor has stirred controversy on social media after his sermon, which connected wealth accumulation to paying tithes.
During a church service, he promised that anybody who sows seeds and pays their tithe will undoubtedly become a billionaire.
He chastised Christians who fail to pay their tithes, comparing it to stealing. According to the clergyman, failing to pay tithes is tantamount to robbing God and hence qualifies as theft.
In his words,
“If you’re not paying your tithe, you’re a thief and you have robbed God. You sow seed and you pay your tithe.
That power of tithe will come, the power of the seed will join together and you become a billionaire. People would be coming to borrow money from your hand. People would be crying but it’s not for you.”
This message strirred reactions from netizens who did not believe him. Read some comments below.
