Uti Nwachukwu then said what is wrong or makes it a sin is scared people about being punished for not practicing tithing making them do it out of fear and not from their heart as it’s supposed to be since it’s not something compulsory.

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 practicing it!

“It is an elective! A covenant blessing is available for those interested.

“What is wrong is using fear of punishment to threaten your congregation into practicing 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.

“Let people know the advantages but do not lie to them that they sin if
they don’t practice it.

“Love and faith are all that matter in our chosen religion.

“Your faith will always produce results. Which is why some people doing the unimaginable still produce results.”
