In the very sensitive argument about whether Christians should pay tithes or not that has been going on in recent times, so many people have poured out their own opinions. Some persons actually believes that tithes payment is the source to open doors and prosperity.
So they tend to support the idea of tithe payment, because they wouldn't want the wrath of God to descend on them and reduce their financial status to square zero.
For that reason they decided to be paying their tithes every month. While others believes that paying of tithe is from the heart and it has nothing to do with sources of riches. What is your own opinion about tithe payment?
A Pastor, author, and a one time personal assistant to ex President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Reno Omokri, have come out to debunk the claim that if you don't pay your tithes you will be poor.
According to the award winning author, he tweeted that in Deut 26:12, the only people who should benefit from tithes are the Levites, Widows, Fatherless and the Poor. He further stated that Pastors are not included among those to benefit from tithe proceeds.
In debunking the claim made by some pastors that lack of tithing can cause poverty, Mr Reno Omokri further added that in the New Testament, we are all royal priesthood. even if you don't pay your tithes you won't be poor just as some pastors are making you to believe. Below are screenshots of the tweet and the replies he got from some of his followers.
