Popular Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth has reacted to Bishop David Oyedepo’s statement on tithing, IgbereTV reports.
Oyedepo had earlier stated that anyone who doesn’t pay tithe is “under a financial curse” and can never prosper.
Oyedepo had 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. #Tithe #Breakinglimits.”
Reacting to this, Basketmouth stated that the church is now threatening people with financial curse over tithe in a bad economy.
He wrote;
“THIS LIFE NO BALANCE AT ALL!!
The Govt will threaten us with prosecution if we don’t pay our TAX & VAT.
The CHURCH will now threaten us with a FINANCIAL CURSE if you don’t pay your TITHE!
Inside the TERRIBLE ECONOMY?
