COVID19: Pastor begs members not to pay tithes, offerings
Senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa has begged his members to stop paying tithes and offerings until after the COVID-19 pandemic.
It however comes with some conditions that worshippers should wear masks, properly sanitise their hands, among other health guidelines to tackle the spread of COVID-19. “Things are extremely difficult now; giving is not by force but by one’s own volition. The Scripture tells us in the book of Exodus 35:29 children of Israel brought a voluntary offering to Jehovah, every man and woman whose heart prompted them to bring for all manner of work, which Jehovah, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.“I have begged my members to stop giving out tithes and offerings till everything becomes normal.
He also faulted the one-hour mandate handed down to churches, stating: “Let me also use this medium to tell the federal government to withdraw some conditions given to the church. It’s wrong to give us time to be end our services.
