Tithing Works But It's Not Compulsory — Uti Nwachukwu

Reality star and actor Uti Nwachukwu has bared his thoughts on the controversial tithing issue, stating that it is effective but not compulsory.

The Big Brother alum made the comments in a series of tweets, saying that clergymen should not compel their members to pay tithes.

“A lot of people get this whole tithing thing wrong! Does it work? Yes! But It is not compulsory! And you will not be punished for not practicing it!", he wrote.

"It is an elective! A covenant blessing available for those interested. What is wrong is using fear of punishment to threaten your congregation into practicing it!

"It’s like the government waking up today to tell us that you’d be arrested if you don’t invest in real estate. Same goes for first fruits, offerings, and all types of giving.

"Let people know the advantages but do not lie to them that they sin if they don’t practice it. Love and faith are all that matter in our chosen religion.

"Your faith will always produce results. Which is why some people doing the unimaginable still produce results.”
