I said I wasn’t going to talk about this issue until Daddy (Mr Ibu) gets back on his feet and glory to God he has been discharged and recuperating. A lot has happened and I would like to shed more light on how I got involved and how things got to this point. I am not talking because I need people to sympathize with me.

Paying tithes, first fruit, and offering in church simply because you want financial breakthrough is purely commerce and a tool for manipulation in the hands of those who know the truth.- Reno Omokri

Paying tithes, first fruit, and offering in church simply because you want financial breakthrough is purely commerce, not religion or faith. It is a disservice to God. And a tool for manipulation in the hands of those who know the truth.  Peter and James, the heads of the early Ekklesia, set only four rules for Gentiles who turned to God.

The Levites were forbidden from having property. We see this in Deute...
