If you fail to pay tithe you will be a poor man in Heaven
In a thought-provoking sermon that drew attention both within his congregation and across social media, Nigerian pastor U.O. Miracle shared his interpretation of the role tithing plays in a Christian’s spiritual and financial life.
Addressing the controversial topic, he explained that while neglecting to pay tithes would not necessarily prevent one from entering heaven, it could affect their experience in both the afterlife and their financial stability on earth.
Pastor Miracle assured his audience that those who don’t tithe are not doomed spiritually.
However, he warned that their journey might be fraught with hardship and a lack of material blessings.
He underscored this by comparing two biblical figures, Lazarus and Abraham. According to his perspective, non-tithers might enter heaven, but with struggles similar to those experienced by Lazarus, who arrived with nothing, symbolizing a life of poverty and suffering.
On the other hand, Pastor Miracle contrasted this with those who faithfully tithe, suggesting they would reach heaven in a manner similar to Abraham, with greater ease and status.
He painted a picture where tithers benefit from both earthly prosperity and a more comfortable spiritual afterlife.
This comparison between Lazarus’ poor, difficult life and Abraham’s prosperous one served as a metaphor for the consequences of tithing or neglecting to do so.
His sermon has stirred up a conversation on the balance between spiritual faithfulness and material wealth, questioning how much financial sacrifices like tithing truly impact a Christian’s journey in this life and the next.
