To the ‘faithful’, paying a monthly tax, presented as tithes which ought to be 1/10th of a person’s income to the church is a commandment from God—and he rewards greatly those who honour this.
The poor with little to live on still have to squeeze and pay their portion to the church—and for long, this has been encouraged by the church.
But recently, it has become a key church principle: the tithe must be paid or else, God will refuse to even hear your prayers, let alone bless you.
In spite of this, Prince Kofi Amoabeng, president of UT Holdings—the holders of UT bank and other companies has come out to say, he does not pay tithes and will never do.
Speaking to Starr FM on Friday morning, he said he believes in God and goes to Church “once in a long while if there is a wedding or funeral,” but he is not a tither.
