General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye
Many people have reacted to a Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG) teachers guide book online teaching little children
to pay tithe.
The bone of contention is that since children mostly do not work and earn money, they should not be included in tithe payment.
But Tori News says the book specifically mentioned that children should ensure that
they collect money from their parents to pay tithe which many people
believe is wrong.
Some are in support while others disagree with the teaching.
A commenter wrote: "Hay God!
"Teaching is OK, for them to pay tithe is wat I don't
understand, are dey working? I Tot tithe is for income earners, so if I
give my child 100naira to buy sweets, he/she should give God 10naira for
tithe! Daddy GO easy ooo, it's not business, dis one pass me oooo."
Another added: "Is nice teaching them how to pay tithe. If they
receive any gift they should give their parents and tell them to pay
their tithe from it. If they develop the habit of tithe paying they will
never be poor in life. I have been doing this from secondary school and
I have never and by God's grace will never go poor. If God knows you
will be faithful to pay tithe from 10m,he will definitely give you
100m."
Someone else said: "Tithe is a personal thing. I personally do
not believe I must give to a church to tithe. I can earmark 10% of my
income to helping those in need or doing charitable deeds, that is what I
believe in. Or must not be to a church or pastor!"
"The way pastors go on and on about thiting, one would think it
was jesus' sole message when he was on earth. Truth is he never spoke
of it." another person added.
