Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Assistant General Overseer, Pastor Johnson Funso Odesola in his sermon on Sunday at the Hope Centre parish of the church in Lagos took a swipe at Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze.
TheNewsGuru reports Daddy Freeze, an on-air radio personality, has been so much entrenched in the tithe debate that has shaken the very foundation of tithes payments by Christians in recent times.
Daddy Freeze had earlier questioned the sanity of RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye after the revered man of God, in a video that went viral, was captured warning Christians defaulting payment of their tithes will not make heaven.
In his sermon today, Pastor Odesola, who is the Assistant General Overseer of RCCG in Charge of Administration and Personnel and Pastor-in-Charge of Region 1, who is also an economic justice activist, described the tithe debate as “a very terrible thing”.
“There is a very terrible thing going on the social media now: tithe or no tithe. All those people who are perpetrating it are already freezing in the freezer,” he said, questioning if the church is responsible for the failure of the nation.
“Is it the Church that brought the corruption in this nation? Why don’t they face the Senators that bury monies at the back of their houses? Why don’t they face the people that embezzle money?
“Is it the Church that did not allow the health sector to work? Is it the Church that did not allow the education sector to work?” he queried, adding “that is how you know those who are narrow minded”.
The RCCG Assistant General Overseer went further to admonished Christians to not listen to those who criticize payments of tithes.
“Know the critics; go and check their lives; they don’t achieve anything. What they do is to criticize. Stop listening to them,” he said, beginning from 01:00:09 in the attached video.
Meanwhile, quoting Aristotle on how not to be criticized, the Assistant General Overseer said “say nothing, do nothing, and become nothing,” while also stressing that “anything you do, somebody that will not be pleased, will not be pleased”.
