Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, commonly known as Odumeje, has revealed that he does not collect tithes or advocate for tithing in his religious congregation. This statement emerged during a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, which was later published on YouTube. According to Odumeje, his ministry's emphasis lies in showcasing spiritual prowess rather than discussing tithing and contributions.
He further criticized certain churches for fixating excessively on collecting money from their congregants, noting that such practices might lead to members feeling pressured and deprived of their personal discretion in matters of giving. "Those people that collect tithes and preach about tithing every day, they'll be keen on making sure they deplete your coffers.
There's no tangible proof or miracles you'll witness. It's merely tales," he remarked. In clarifying his stance on tithing, Odumeje indicated that while the act itself is not inherently wrong, the decision to contribute should be a personal choice between an individual and God. He refuted claims that not paying tithes would bar one from attaining eternal life, emphasizing that such assertions are not divinely sanctioned and should not be imposed upon others.
