Adenuga Wants Pastors To Give Account Of How They Spend Tithes

Pastor Paul Adenuga

Founder of Faith Revival Apostolic Church, Lagos, Pastor Paul Adenuga has joined in the controversies that have continued to trail collection of tithes in Churches which he said should be accounted for to make them meaningful.

In a statement today, Sunday, Pastor Adenuga stressed that there will always be crises over tithing if pastors continue to use the money to acquire personal properties even as he said that the controversy over the issue of tithes is unnecessary.

“It is happening now because some of the big-time servants of God have betrayed the gospel and their calling. They now recruit antichrists to work in God’s vineyard. In their bid to make sure that they are known all over the world, many Nigerian servants of God now target influential people, particularly bank chiefs and top public servants to recruit as pastors. These are the people that are now introducing negative doctrines that are alien to the body of Christ.

“They spend tithes to set up businesses and establish schools for the purpose of making money. Instead of using tithes to pay good salaries to their full-time pastors, they recruit part-time rich pastors who won’t bother them about salaries since they are already comfortable.”

Pastor Adenuga said that people don’t have problems paying tithes in accordance with God’s directive in the Bible book of Malachi but that they are annoyed that the present-day pastors are no longer using the money for evangelism.

“They are spending tithes to build universities that children of the payers won’t be able to attend because of high school fees.”

He exonerated himself from the madness, saying that to the glory of God, he had been in the ministry for over 28 years and had, as at now do not a personal property, challenging anyone who disputed the fact to investigate.

“I also have detailed accounts of how we spend all money being paid by members. The Bible says we should bring all the tithes to the storehouse, but the people are protesting today because pastors are no longer using the tithes for the purpose they are meant for. It is for the welfare of pastors and the needy, not for acquiring properties, exotic vehicles and private jets.”

He insisted that Church members should be in the habit of holding their pastors accountable on the issue of tithes. [myad]
