Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel International says tithing is an obligation and those who don’t pay it are under a financial curse.
The cleric said this in a tweet on Thursday, July 16, 2020.
He 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 a series of tweets on Friday, July 17, 2020, Oyedepo further said that many problems men faced are traceable to their monetary dealings.
He said, “The way you handle your financial dealings determines greatly what happens to you financially. Many things that afflict men are traceable to their monetary dealings. False financial dealings can open doors to inexplicable afflictions.”
The cleric’s tweet on tithing has, however, got Nigerians talking on Twitter as many disagreed with him as tithing became a trending topic on the social media platform.
