In an unexpected act of kindness, a priest amazed his congregation by transforming the concept of tithing into an opportunity to help financially struggling members, giving them ₦5,000 each.
During a recent service, the priest asked those who had ₦5,000 set aside for tithes to come forward. A number of congregants responded, stepping forward with their contributions. However, in a surprising twist, the priest then invited members facing financial hardship to step up as well.
In a heartwarming moment, the priest instructed those with tithe money to give it directly to those in need. This generous act left the congregation surprised and sparked conversations on social media.
The unidentified priest delivered a powerful message about the importance of selflessness and community support. He highlighted that tithing shouldn’t only focus on giving to the church but also on helping others, especially those within the congregation who are struggling financially.
Reactions to the Priest’s Act of Redistributing Tithes
Social media users reacted to the priest’s actions, with some expressing admiration and others sharing their thoughts on the unusual approach.
TrojanLive95 remarked: “Most of them would rather pay 5k as tithe than give it to those who truly need it.”
kinglabi_ noted: “Some of them may hesitate to give.”
ObianujuMenkiti praised the gesture: “I love this. Excellent.. Giving to those who truly need it. As it should be.. plus I love the method he used because I can guarantee that if he asked them to just randomly give any 1 member 5k, fewer people would give.”
Odogwu_Rico humorously added: “I think next time, fewer people will come forward with 5k.”
benfil_ commented: “Most would rather give the bishop than their fellow member who genuinely needs it.”
