Adeboye said;
“One of my pastors went online and preached a sermon on why people should not pay tithes. I watched the sermon, thinking I would learn something profound,” he said.
The pastor went on to recount the preacher’s reasoning: “He said we shouldn’t pay tithes because Jesus didn’t collect tithes. I said, ah, Jesus was not a parish pastor, He was a world evangelist.”

“Forgive me for saying so, but it was a very shallow sermon,” Adeboye added.
In addressing the notion that Jesus did not collect tithes, Adeboye explained, “Jesus was not a parish pastor; He was a world evangelist.
The Bible in Luke 8:1-3 tells us that certain women, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, supported His ministry financially.”
He further added that the way of ministries of the Jesus and the prophets during that time differs from those overseeing local congregations.
