Nollywood actor, Uti Nwachukwu, on Wednesday noted that payment of tithes was effective though not compulsory.
In a lengthy series of tweets, the actor stated that pastors should not coerce members to pay tithes.
He wrote, “A lot of people get this whole tithing thing wrong! Does it work? Yes! But It is not compulsory! And you will not be punished for not practising it!
“It is an elective! A covenant blessing available for those interested.
“What is wrong is using fear of punishment to threaten your congregation into practising it!
“It’s like the government waking up today to tell us that you’d be arrested if you don’t invest in real estate.
“Same goes for first fruits, offerings and all types of giving.
