However, the man said he woke up one day and decided to fight his beliefs and he stopped paying tithes and offering in church.
He made up his mind that he would still be going to church, but he was not going to give anything.
In a video he posted on TikTok, Itzchrisisikweihe said instead of his life regressing, he experienced financial growth after he stopped offering and tithing.
Although he said he believes in tithing and offering, but noted that it is not because of it that one receives blessings from God.

Nigerian man shares experience after he stopped paying tithe and offering
The man said children of God do not need to pay money to him before he would bless them.
He said even earthly parents do not demand money from their children before giving them good things of life.
According to him, the gospel which says one needs to pay tithe and offering before being blessed was transactional.
He said:
“So there is a door I have left. And that is the door of religion. There was a time in my life I was being exploited all in the name of loving God. They used every way to get money from us. They made it look as though God is in a transactional business with us. So one fateful night, I was angry. Meanwhile, I have given everything I had and nothing was coming forth. I wasn’t seeing anything. So what they said in the Bible wasn’t applicable in my own situation? So I asked myself one question: if my earthly father could afford everything I have, expecting nothing from me, how much more my heavenly father? But I chose that day to fight my beliefs. I said I was going to go to church, but I will not pay tithe, I will not pay offering, nothing. From that day I took that life-changing decision to now, there has been an exponential growth in my life, including my finances.
