Becky Enenche, the wife of Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International gospel Centre (DIGC), has stated the significance of consistent tithe payment.
The wife in a video circulating on social media, advises Christians to constantly pay their tithe, which she refers to as “returning God’s portion”.
The clergywoman also warned that whenever a Christian fails to pay their tithe, they go “back to square one”.
Enenche also likened tithe defaulters to someone who typed a long text and mistakenly pressed the delete button.
“Paying your tithe, paying your tithe, returning God’s portion must be done consistently. Every time you miss your tithe, you go back to square one. The ones you did before become nullified,” she said.
“It is like you pressed a delete button, gbam. And all the work you did before is gone. Have you ever been typing and somebody entered the room or something mistakenly? You have typed enough text.
“The content of what you’ve typed is sufficient and you are not saving as you were typing and suddenly you press delete. You can imagine how that feels. Now what more of such a thing as your tithe.”
“Paying of tithes must be done consistently, anytime you miss paying your tithe, you will return back to square one”
Enenche’s comments come amid ongoing debate within the Christian community regarding the practice of tithing. While some argue it is essential, others consider it outdated or unnecessary.
Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), had argued that non-tithers would not make heaven.
The clergyman, however, made a U-turn, apologising for the statement, which he said was “wrong”.
