The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has explained the reason behind jesus and his apostles did not collect tithes.
Adeboye made this known during the October edition of the RCCG Holy Ghost Service, addressed the topic in response to an unnamed pastor who preached against tithing, arguing that Jesus never collected tithes.
“One of my pastors went online and preached a sermon on why people should not pay tithes. I watched the sermon, thinking I would learn something profound,” he said.
The pastor went on to recount the preacher’s reasoning: “He said we shouldn’t pay tithes because Jesus didn’t collect tithes. I said, ah, Jesus was not a parish pastor, He was a world evangelist.”
He expressed disappointment in the sermon, noting that it was a repetition of arguments others had made before. “Forgive me for saying so, but it was a very shallow sermon,” Adeboye added.
In addressing the notion that Jesus did not collect tithes, Adeboye explained, “Jesus was not a parish pastor; He was a world evangelist.
The Bible in Luke 8:1-3 tells us that certain women, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, supported His ministry financially.”
Adeboye further highlighted that the apostles, like Jesus, did not collect tithes because they were not parish pastors either, indicating that the nature of their ministries differed from those overseeing local congregations.
He concluded with a word of caution, referencing a fellow clergyman who had a group of women financially supporting his ministry.
Adeboye urged against gathering women solely for such purposes, warning that such arrangements could lead to moral missteps if not handled with care.

I respect your calling sir and my prayer is that may your eyes of understanding open to see Christ alone.
The reason why your local pastor could preach what you are not in support of is that his understanding has been opened to see what you’ve never seen in the doctrine of Christ.
Another thing is that whatsoever Jesus Christ did not do,you shouldn’t have mandate it on your fellow members, Jesus did not collect tithe,none of apostles collect tithe but they supported the ministry with all their life.
So sir,if truly you are following Christ, preach Christ alone and people can support your ministry with free mind.
You just discovered your years mistakes this day after you’ve lead many people astray and you still denied the reality of the message sir,this is not fair you better repent .
One thing that I known for sure is that if you decide to neglect to preach Christ alone,you will soon be afraid to stand at pulpit not only you but others Great father in our churches.
God is not give and take,God gives generously irrespective of anything,so let’s preach the finished work of Christ alone.
God bless you sir as you received this with love
