Nigerian tithe payers should stop complaining about hardship, says Omokri

Former social media aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has advised tithe payers in Nigeria not to join none-tithe payers in complaining about the economic hardship in the country.

 

In a post on his official X account @renoomokri, said the tithe should make them rich because they are not supposed to lack.

 

He said: “If you are a tithe payer and you also come to social media to complain about economic hardship, then it is either your tithes do not have the ability to make you rich, or you are lying about your hardship. Which is it?

 

“Because the argument that those who pressure you to pay tithe is that you can never lack and that God will open the window of heaven over you. So, why are you complaining of hardship?

 

“Face it. You have been lied to all these years, and the chickens are coming home to roost. Tithes have absolutely no impact on your prosperity.

 

“What impacts your prosperity are either of three things. Your physical labour. Your investments. Whether or not you inherit from relatives.

 

“Tithes were an agricultural tax imposed by God and the eleven tribes that got land in the Promised Land and payable only to the Levites, because they were not allowed to own land or work.

 

“I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting – Numbers 18:21.

 

“Even Yeshua Hamasiach (Jesus Christ) did not collect tithes, because He was not a Levite. On Earth, He was a Jewish Rabbi of the tribe of Judah. Neither did His disciples ask for or receive tithes.

 

“Paul, who brought this faith to you and I, Gentiles, said: You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions -Acts 20:34.

 

“There are exactly 613 Laws of Moses. These men have craftily selected only the laws that benefit them financially. Why are they not keeping the 610 other laws?

 

“Yes, they and their mind-controlled people will come here and use logic and philosophy to counter my Scriptural assertions. Because, they are “teaching for doctrines the commandments of men -Matthew 15:9.

 

“They cite Abraham to manipulate your mind that tithing preceded the law. Please fact-check the paragraph below.

 

“Abraham did not tithe from his income or his farm harvest. Abraham tithed ONCE. And he only tithed from military plunder, also called spoils of war, and we see this in Hebrews 7:4: Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!”

 

“The only thing expected from Gentile believers was freewill offerings. We see this in 2 Corinthians 9:7: Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
