Actor John Dumelo has said that instead of giving his tithe to the church which does not need it, he usually gives it out to the needy on the streets so they could also have a better life.
The issue of tithing has been on the discussion table on social media with a section of social media users insisting that there is no need paying tithe to the Church since it is just enriching Pastors whiles Church members continue to be poor.
John Dumelo stating his stands on his Twitter page said: “I give my tithe to the needy most of the time. I think they need it more than the ‘church’. I don’t know if it’s wrong”.

I KNOW THE HOLY BIBLE STATED CLEARLY THAT TITHE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE STORE HOUSE A.K.A, THE CHURCH,AS THE ISRAELITE WERE INSTRUCTED IN THE BIBLE TO DO. AND IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE ABUSE AND SHOW OF OSTENTATIOUS LIFE STYLE WHILES THE MEMBERS ARE LIVING IN ABJECT POVERTY. MONEY HAS BECOME THE SOLE OBJECTIVE OF MANY PEOPLE WHO CALLS THEMSELVES "PASTORS". THEY CALLED THEMSELVES JUST BECAUSE OF MONEY. THE AVERAGE BELIEVER IS THEREFORE NOW CONFUSED WHETHER TO GIVE THEIR TITHE TO THE CHURCH OR TO DO WHAT THOSE MONIES ARE TO BE USED FOR. THE TITHE IS TO BE USED TO 1) TAKE CARE OF THE CHURCH AND PASTOR TO MEET HIS NEEDS NOT HIS WANTS. 2)PROPAGATE THE GOSPLE GENUINELY. 3) TO PRIMARILY HELP THE NEEDY FIRST IN THE CHURCH AND THEN SECONDARILY OUTSIDE THE.IT IS CALLED ,CHARITY. THE LORD JESUS WAS ALL ABOUT HELPING THE POOR. WHEN JUDAS WAS LEAVING THE LAST SUPPER TO BETRAY THE LORD JESUS,PETER THOUGH THE LORD JESUS HAD ASKED HIM TO GO GIVE MONEY TO THE POOR FROM THE TREASURY SINCE HE WAS THE TREASURY SECRETARY OF THE LORD'S MINISTRY.THIS TELLS US THAT, THE LORD WAS ALL ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF THE POOR NOT ABOUT LIVING A SUPER FLAMBOYANT LIFE STYLE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR PEOPLES MONEY THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN OUT OF GOOD HEARTS TO THE LORD.LET ME ALSO CLOSE BY SAYING THAT, I AM NOT AGAINST A PASTOR LIVING GOOD LIFE. JUST DO NOT USE THE TITHE OR THE OFFERING OR INVESTMENTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE USING THE CHURCH OFFERING OR TITHE.HONESTY AND SINCERITY IS THE WORD, NOT GREED AND MATERIALISM.
My brother please read your Bible well. Tithes is not for the needy, it is Holy unto the Lord. Tithes must go to the store house.
Giving money to the needy is a good thing to do,but "tithe" is to be sent to e store house "the church "
That's all ma Broda. You are right.
