Prophet Odumeje Explains Why He Doesn't Demand Tithes from Members: "I No Dey Do Church for Money"

• Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje has opened up on why he doesn't collect tithes from members of his church
• Preaching before his congregation, the controversial pastor noted that he did not begin his ministry for financial gain
• Odumeje stated that tithes should be given at an individual's discretion, without being compelled by any spiritual leader

Controversial clergyman Chukwuemeka Odumeje, also known as Indabosky Bahose, has publicly stated that he does not demand or emphasise tithing in his church.

According to him, financial contributions such as tithes are not a requirement for salvation or blessings and should not be the focus of Christian teachings.

In his sermon, Odumeje challenged the widespread practice in many churches where tithing is directly linked to divine favour, prosperity, or entry into heaven.

He criticised such doctrines, calling them misleading and harmful. He emphasised that giving should be a personal decision between individuals and God, not something imposed by religious leaders as a spiritual obligation.

Odumeje clarified that his ministry is not founded on financial gain but on a mission to demonstrate that Jesus Christ is real.

He added that his purpose is to guide people to the truth about God and to inspire faith through spiritual teachings and acts that glorify Christ, not to collect money under religious pretences.

He also addressed the issue of fake miracles, distancing himself from practices that lack credibility or evidence.

Odumeje added that, like TB Joshua, he is committed to projecting God and passing away when his time eventually comes.

Throughout his message, the prophet emphasised that the core of his work is centred on Jesus Christ as the only source of salvation, deliverance, and power.

He repeatedly clarified that his church is not built on doctrines that create fear or confusion around money. Instead, he aims to lead people toward a genuine relationship with God, free from pressure or exploitation.

The clergyman added that other churches that insist on tithes might be prosperous because they have successfully brainwashed their members.
