Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre and renowned motivational speaker, Reverend Sam Adeyemi has called on the church in Nigeria to focus on using church money to take care of the welfare of church members.
In a video which has since gone viral, he said : “The primary thing that was done in the bible is what we (referring to DCC) do: take care of the welfare of church members. I believe that every New Testament church should ensure that what they did in Acts of the Apostles is what is done in the church; they did not allow anyone to go to bed hungry.
“That is the obligation we’ve put on ourselves in our church, that no one will go to go to bed hungry. That’s part of what a church does with church money”
The pastor while addressing his congregation months back said that tithe was paid in the old Testament as a law with curses attached to failure to pay.
He noted that Christians should not be pressured or forced to pay tithe, adding that not paying tithe does not attract a curse for a Christian anymore.
According to him: “Since we are under a new covenant, giving is a choice. Everyone should decide the percentage they want to pay with the knowledge that you will be blessed based on how you give.”
