Addressing his members at Cannaland, Ota in Ogun State, the clergyman said since 1982, he has not failed to pay his tithe.
”You don’t have to steal to shine, you don’t have to rob to prosper. If it is pastoring/founding a church that makes people prosper, there are many pastors/church founders who are paupers.
“You can’t go up except by tithing. From 1982 till date, my tithe hasn’t failed once; now I cart it to God in trailer loads,” he said.
Oyedepo who is rated one of the richest Pastors in the world disclosed that from tithing, he has continued to prosper on all sides.

Preach it sir! Divine investment always yield returns. God's word can never fall to the ground. In addition to tithing and seed sowing live holy.peace.
ReplyDeleteFAT lie!!!
DeleteLies from the pit of hell.
People should read their bible and know what tithe is. All these god of men will be lying in the name of God anyhow. Chai God... when will you blow the trumpet?
@Elixir, if you are a Christian read your Bible the blessings that is attach to tithers.
DeleteTithing is obligatory for every believers and unbelievers. You either pay it in the house of God or pay it in satanic kingdom. In all, FEAR God.
DeleteCutest Pat I am a believer and what he said is blasphemy! God doesn’t bless or prosper you according to your tithe but according to His mercies. Christianity is all about LOVE and GIVING... not every second pay your tithe or you won’t prosper... bullshit!
DeleteThe greatest tithe is to give to the needy but they will never preach that.
Yes oh!,don't mind him, big fat lies!!!
DeleteGiving to the needy is charity not tithing
DeleteElixir truly God doesn't bless us according to our tithes, Jesus came to redeem us from the curses of the law, the blessings are still intact, the blessings attached to tithe paying is still very effective. God provided 100%, to give him 10% and keep 90% becomes a problem. That is being stingy not being smart.
DeleteBurps why are u and others paying tithe not rich yet?
DeleteAnd who should collect the tithe?! The only people authorised by the bible to collect the tithe are the descendants of Levi bcos only his tribe that God did not give land to farm and they are all priests. That race has looooong been extinct. Even Jesus never collected tithes because his own lineage had lands and mandated to pay 10% to the tribe of Levi.
DeleteIn a nutshell, only the descendants of the remaining 11 tribes can pay tithe to the tribe of Levi. No Nigerian or African should pay or collect tithes.
If I may ask, to who?
ReplyDeleteExactly what I wanted to ask. Who does he pay to
DeleteHe has a spiritual father he pays to.
DeleteThe money he pays as tithe is to be used in the house of God. Windows and orphan also benefit from it. Do you know how many people he sponsors? You know many people he opens businesses for?
Delete@cutest Pat,what of the doors?
Delete😂😂😂 Anonymous 19:31, fear God!
Delete@Pat someone up thers said charity is different from tithing. Verily i say unto you, philanthropy is different from tithing. who does he pay his TITHE to?
DeleteEVERYONE who pays tithe,pays to God.
DeleteMalachi 3:6-12
"For I am the Lord, I change not.therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from my ordinances,and HAVE NOT KEPT THEM.
return unto me and I will return unto you,saith the Lord of Host.But ye said,wherein shall we return?
Will a man ROB GOD?Yet ye have robbed me in TITHES and offerings
Ye are cursed with a curse,for ye have robbed me,even this whole nation.
BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTOTHE STOREHOUSE,THAT THERE BE MEAT IN MINE HOUSE,SAITH THE LORD OF HOST AND PROVE (test) ME NOW HEREWITH,SAITH THE LORD OF HOST,IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN and pour you out a blessing,that there shall be no room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sake, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field ,saith the Lord of hosts.
AND ALL NATION SHALL CALL YOU BLESSED:FIR YES SHALL BE A DELIGHT SOME LAND,SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.
Phew!
OK!the trick is being consistent in your tithing.give it with joy,blank your mind to just believe Gods word.don't be lazy(slothefullness is a no no for God)be diligent with your work\business...no matter how small.
Dont wait to have billions to tithe.Begin from where you are.
You must be born again and also live your life to please God the best way you can.....because you love him....not out of duty.
I repeat,consistency is the key.
....to each his own.
ReplyDeleteThat's all 🙂
He's correct. I don't care what they use the tithe for or where it enters my own is I've done my part. God answer your name. Even dash of 5k I dey remove tithe.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever sat down to do a personal bible study about tithing? Or it's the Malachi 3 v 3 misinterpretation they give to you that you rely on?
DeleteHow do you rightfully know its misinterpreted? Please back up with another scripture to show the misinterpretation.
DeleteI am with you on this table. I pay and look away, whatever the church uses it for is between them and God.
DeleteDeuteronomy 14:22-29
DeleteI disagree on this "You won't go up without paying your tithe". What is tithe in the first place? Was it stipulated as money biblically? So what about those who don't earned salary but do business? How do they measure one tenth of it?
ReplyDeleteChristians sometimes makes things difficult for themselves, and the earlier people begin to realize that hardwork guarantee success and not just the thithe, the better for them. I have seen prosperous people who don't even go to church not to talk of tithe. What about those who pay the thithe and are still poor in the church?
What good has the tithe been used for? At least the biblical thithe they are trying to justified their point from was used and shared among the people. Is it what is obtainable today? I no just want vex this afternoon, my leg still dey pain me lol....
Well said Teejay 👌👌👍 what about the people paying tithe that are still poor?
DeleteChai TJ. You just made me feel ashamed with what you wrote. I did not expect this from you. Maybe it is ignorance
DeleteTeejay you need to work in the church office for just one week to know what tithes is being used for, my church pays 1million as rent yearly, all the instrumentalists are on payroll, families and students are being supported, you won't want to come to a church where your make up pours out of your face, neither will you want to be going about with handfans,do you know how much equipments cost? Engineers in charge of those instruments are being paid, photography nko? A lot I can talk about, hoe many members pay tithe, is the pastor not entitled to monthly pay? You people should fear God abeg
DeleteHurpe, pastors entitled to monthly pay you said, what about the ones that owns large businesses?
Delete@Yori Yori understand my comment before you feel ashamed. I didn't condemned tithe but putting a clause that one won't prosper if he didn't pay tithe is so wrong and unbiblical. How do you explain those who pay thite and are still poor with those who don't but rich?
If you want us to analyse that passage very well, then you will understand that what the Bible passage talked about was bringing one tenth of your produce and not really money, which was usually shared among the people. A farm produce could be one tenth of what you produce and not necessarily money. So if we want to interprets the Bible, we should interpret it wella.
TJ even that 10% was mandated because the temples were ran by Levites ie the descendants of Levi which is the only tribe of israel that did not own lands. God mandated the remaining 11 tribes to pay the priests (Levites) tithes as their means of survival.
DeleteNo Nigerian or African should pay or collect tithe. The purpose is defeated if we do.
@Teejay you think it is every pastor that has all those large businesses you are hearing about? If the founder has large businesses what about the pastors underneath him, aren't they suppose to feed their families? Abeg enough of this stingy criticism, if you ain't paying don't attack people that are willing to pay
DeleteHe just wants more mugus. Who does he pay the tithe to?
ReplyDeleteOle ajibo ole....no be only
ReplyDeleteNever read that Jesus paid tithes. Jesus even stopped working so he didn't have money to pay tithes. So if Jesus did not do it then it is not necessary to spiritual advancement.
ReplyDeleteseconded teejay..I don't want to shout too..sorry about your leg
ReplyDeleteA year/two years ago, I was very obedient in paying my tithe. My monthly income then was around 20k. So I became jobless for a while before I bounced back. When I bounced back, I stopped paying any tithe and I now earn close to 100k. My monthly earnings are increasing and business booming by God's grace. This time last year, I was broke, I had nothing but Glory to God now, I have more than half a million. I know it's not much but can anyone explain why things are like this?
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of Placebo effect?
DeleteYour tithing is speaking for you. Resume paying your tithes. This is only the beginning
DeleteAnony 15.53 its because you worked hard and disciplined. You are also generous to the needy around you. Tithing is scam. Its not spiritual at all.
DeleteLiving word of God
ReplyDeleteI laugh at them tithe scavengers... Majority of Westerners do not pay tithe and they are ever prospering.
ReplyDeleteI do not pay tithe and I am prospering and i have a very personal and good relationship with God Almighty.
I give and give and I'll keep giving even when my pocket is giving me red light, I still give.
Most Nigerians are brainwashed and some are dead and buried in the spiritual realm.
I don't need any clergyman to tell me what's in the Bible... I have read, studied it and I meditated on every word in the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit, I have accumulated much wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Oyedepo's message is not for me.
God Himself should come and settle this doctrine controversy .
ReplyDeleteI don't joke in tithe paying, right from when i was a student. Whatever they uses it for, it non of my business.
ReplyDeleteI dont joke with paying my tithe
ReplyDeleteLIAR!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love and respect Oyedepo even though i know he lies. He knows the truth and knows the secret to prosperity is never tithing but he will never teach it.
DeleteDo whatever makes you sleep well at night
ReplyDeleteThere are some members of his church who even borrow money to go pay their tithes, but can’t afford 3 square meals nor house rent, are they different? Why is their tithes not working for them biko abi mr oyedepo doesn't remit to heaven?
ReplyDeleteBorrow money to pay tithe? Then they dont understand what tithing is.
DeleteNah, no one shud borrow to pay tithe. Its not a competition.
DeleteThose members borrowing do not understand the principle of tithe paying.
DeleteOniro just to justify your rejection of tithing.
DeleteYou don't force people to pay tithe.
ReplyDeleteThis here, is indirectly forcing your *congregation to psych tithe. Ndi amuma uha.
He is not forcing anybody to pay tithe if you don't know what to say keep quiet
DeleteHe is not forcing any body to pay tithe rather teaching pls
DeleteT. Girl, you must be mad for telling me to keep quiet
DeleteWahala leko rayin si. I don't pay tithe, I give to the poor instead,and God has been so gracious to me. He 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and compassion on whom He will have compassion" If you like go and borrow money from your ancestors to pay tithe, if God will not show mercy or not ready to, He will not. Pastors should stop over flogging this tithe issue, its looking like a threat now.
ReplyDeleteThere is a principle of giving and receiving. Na wetin you dey enjoy.
DeleteSo all those atheist who are billionaires became what they are by paying their tithes okwaya? Oyedepo, head is really paining you walai. Na only your sheeples you fit dey deceive. End time prosperity preaching pastor 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
ReplyDeletePls you must not insult. Mind ur words.
DeleteIf people insult Moh now, you will start crying
DeleteYour Muhammadu is crazy. Stella don’t swallow this cod he insulted my Bishop.
DeleteSMH.
ReplyDeleteI don't pay thite but I dont discourage others who do.
ReplyDeleteGod will bless whoever he wants to bless.Paying thite won't make God bless you more or take you to heaven,your good deeds would.
God loves a cheerful giver,not a thiter.
Be a blessing to people and leave the rest for God!
tithe*
Delete*tithe*
ReplyDeleteYes oh!me too disagree on this one!
ReplyDeletemonkey they work bamboo they chop, I can't labour for any pastor, where does the tithes go to his account lmao
ReplyDeleteIf the are collecting money from you in the dream and you start paying tithe it will stop it.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of tithing started from the Jews whose history is what we refer to as the Old Testament.
ReplyDeleteToday, the Jews no longer pay tithe. Why? Because the conditions that demanded it are no longer present. Read your Bible individually and understand the origin of and reason people paid tithe. Understand who received tithe and why they did.
Most people won’t admit it they pay tithe out of fear. They don’t want to offend God or hinder their blessings so they pay it. Africans fear the devil more than anything so they’ll do whatever it takes to have God rebuke the devourer for their sake.
I am not discouraging anyone against it. If paying tithe is working for you by all means continue. If you feel you should, please go right ahead. Salvation is an individual race.
As for me and my family, charity is what we practice. Donations are made to the church when the need arises for example, replacing equipments and mission trips.
Tithing is a convenant insurance!Take it or leave it.I give to receive but I pay tithe to secure what I have received.
ReplyDeleteAnother brainwashed believer.🤦🤦
DeleteAnother brainwashed believer.🤦🤦
DeleteSome say it's old covenant practice, Jesus didn't pay it, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you reading psalms? Isn't it old covenant practice?
Some people give bribe, sort, etc. But when it comes to parting 10% of 100% God gave to them, they come up with excuses.
I love God, therefore I will pay my tithe in the church I worship as he instructed and i will demand the blessings attached to it in Malachi 3v10-12.
Aside this, I give for charity and even other givings in church.
One thing I have realised is, I can't outgive God. I am giving to God through the church.
If i have any question, I ask God who I gave to not the church.
I have enjoyed health, living a life void of police cases or problems. My money is not spent in problems, sickness or police/court cases. Neither do I get into accidents or loss things, but my money is spent on my desires.
I always remind God of His promises in Malachi 3v10-12 and it always WORKS for me.
You might not believe it, doesn't make it a lie.
You don't practice it, fine. But, don't condemn those that do.
And don't insult a man of God. That's crossing the line...
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith: THESE OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE, and not to leave the other undone.
DeleteIf you don't understand, get a bible commentary on this verse.
You mean you give to receive, not to help others or to put smiles on people's faces,strictly to receive, and also if you don't pay tithe what you received wont be secured, God is now police you need to bribe to let you pass or safeguard your things, pls don't just quote what you've been conditioned to believe, read what you just typed ,understand it and see how selfish it sounds ,me,me,me. And we are Christians right?
