Speaking today at Mountain of Fire and Ministries International Headquarters, the General Overseer of the church, Dr. D.K. Olukoya, disclosed that tithing is purely a personal relationship between the giver and God, and not compulsory.

He further said that by doing so, one gets more blessing from God. According to him, tithing is done by Christians who see everything they own as given to them by God, as there are some who have gone beyond giving 10%.

Dr. Olukoya also said when one tithes, he/she is sowing seed for future prosperity.

“There is nowhere in the Bible where it is written that tithing and giving offering is compulsory. But if you want to trust God with your finances you should even strive to do more than the tithe” he said.
