By King Amoah.
In recent times, a stirring conversation has emerged within the Christian community concerning the practice of tithing and offering.
Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the founder of Believers Worship Center, (Last Chance) has taken a firm stance against pastors who demand financial contributions from their congregations, labeling the practice as unbiblical.
Prophet Duah, a respected leader known for his thoughtful interpretations of scripture, argues that the traditional doctrine surrounding tithes, a practice rooted in the Old Testament,—has been misapplied in contemporary churches.
He asserts that many pastors prioritize financial gain over spiritual growth, exerting undue pressure on their congregation to fulfill financial obligations that do not align with the core teachings of the Bible.
During a recent sermon, Prophet Duah expressed his concern that the demand for tithes and offerings has led to a distortion of the message of Christ.
He said the essence of Christianity is not found in the money we give but in the faith we uphold and the love we share.
His remarks echo a growing sentiment among many Christians who believe that the focus on financial contributions undermines the true purpose of ministry and discipleship.
At the heart of Prophet Duah’s argument is a call for transparency and accountability within church leadership.
He highlighted that the scriptures emphasize generosity and cheerful giving rather than obligatory financial contributions.
“We must return to the teachings of Jesus, who spoke of love, compassion, and sharing,” he noted.
Adding when we focus on the needs of our communities and the spiritual welfare of our members, we can foster a healthier and more vibrant church environment.”
Prophet Duah urges believers to seek a deeper understanding of stewardship, encouraging them to give voluntarily out of love rather than obligation.
Prophet Duah’s message resonates not only with those within his own congregation at Believers Worship Center but also with a broader audience of Christians seeking to understand the dynamics of faith and finance.
By addressing the issue directly, he hopes to instigate a movement toward a more scripture-aligned approach to church financing, one that truly reflects the principles of love, generosity, and service that Jesus espoused.
- In closing, Prophet Duah’s clarion call for a reassessment of tithing practices invites all believers to engage in a more profound dialogue about the role of money in their faith and the true essence of Christian living. It is a time for reflection, renewal, and a return to the foundational principles that underscore the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
