A Nigerian man who relocated to the UK has revealed what he observed in his UK church that made him stop paying tithe.
He stated that he regularly paid tithe to his Nigerian church and even continued sending money back home for his tithe when he relocated.
However, he stopped after observing that his church in the UK does not ask for tithe, offering is optional, yet they feed members. He then asked what Nigerian churches who collect tithe and offerings do for members with the money.
He wrote: ‘When I was in Nigeria, I never missed my monthly tithe.
‘When I got to the UK, I sent tithe to my home church about twice, then stopped.
‘My mom called me about not sending tithe to the home church anymore.
‘I told her we don’t pay tithe in the UK, and even offering isn’t compulsory.
‘I also told her we eat every Sunday, and there’s a place you can pick up free food if you don’t have any at home.
‘All the tithe we paid in church in Nigeria where did it go? There was never a time we had food for the poor or a room where food was kept. Isn’t that the essence of tithe?
‘Her response was: “You are backsliding.”’
