Popular On-Air-Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze has reacted to a claim by Bishop David Oyedepo that tithing is a prerequisite for becoming prosperous.
The claim was made in a tweet via Oyedepo ministry’s Twitter handle on Thursday.
In Christian doctrine, a tithe is one-tenth of a member’s earnings paid to the church.
“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,” the tweet read.
But Daddy Freeze, who runs the online ‘Free the Sheeple’ movement, described the claim as “utter nonsense” and “unscriptural”.
He maintained that neither Jesus nor his disciples collected tithe from anyone, making payment of tithe not a duty in Christianity.
The controversial OAP and social critic claimed that world’s richest men, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do not pay tithe and this did not stop them from becoming prosperous.
Daddy Freeze wrote, ” Utter nonsense! Are you one percent as prosperous or as wealthy as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who dont tithe? I personally find this unscriptural statement manipulative and cruel. Christ didnt collect tithe neither did the disciples, yet no one was cursed! ~FRZ”
Utter nonsense!🙄
Are you one percent as prosperous or as wealthy as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who dont tithe?
I personally find this unscriptural statement manipulative and cruel.
Christ didnt collect tithe neither did the disciples, yet no one was cursed!
