In the video shared on the church's TikTok handle, the pastor suggested that children's school fees ought to come first instead of using it to pay tithe in church.
Pastor Bayo said it would amount to mortgaging children's future if parents prioritise giving money to church of school fees.
He insisted that it is religion that has caged many people, making them think that they will not be blessed if they don't pay tithes.
His words:
"If your children's school fee is due, don't bring money to church. Don't sell your children's future. Don't mortgage your children's future. That's one thing about religion. It puts you under rules. Religion puts into slavery. 'If you don't pay tithe, God will not bless you.' Then you start strugling to pay tithe, whereas, your children's school fees is due. The devil will decive you 'first do my own.' Then the children's school fee has to go and wait. Is it God that needs money or church? I want to let you know if your children's school fees is due, don't bring money to church."

"I never saw this coming…! Omo! I need to study more about this man. You don’t hear this from a regular Nigerian Pastor or preacher whose stock in trade is how to cherry pick verses that validates commercialization of spiritual blessings, as far as money 💴 propels and furnishes that description to mean worshipping “God”
