Tithing cannot create wealth! Wealth creation occurs when you deploy capital to create value. When X gives 1/10 of his earnings to your church, there’s no production or investment, thus he has not created value, but only enriched you. Tithing is a church sponsored ponzi scheme.

Pentecostal pastors/bishops, please leave tithing and sowing of seed for now, and preach salvation, repentence and virtue. Sacrifice those money on the alter of societal repair. You can’t be preaching tithing in a corrupt and evil society. Our country needs urgent resuscitation.

Nigerian pastors love capitalising on our dysfunctional govt. Yet, there are countries with majority non-Christian population without any financial curse.They simply have functional govts that ensure employment, healthcare, social safety nets, pension ans home ownership plans.
