Pastors Fund Their Dreams Through Tithes And Offerings - Ogbonnaya Ikechukwu

Olumide Emmanuel’s assertion that only “unserious people” debate tithing, emphasizing it as an act of worship, has sparked significant controversy. Among the responses was a thought-provoking comment: “How do pastors raise free capital to fund their dreams if not through tithes and offerings?” This statement reflects growing skepticism about the financial practices of some religious institutions.

While many believers see tithing as a personal act of worship and faith, others argue that it is exploited to serve the interests of some church leaders. This divide reveals a deeper distrust within religious communities and raises important questions about transparency and accountability. For tithing to maintain its spiritual value, churches must foster trust through openness about how funds are managed and used for communal growth, not just personal gain.
