Video: “What Kind Of God Is That?”- Nigerian Prophet Calls Out Church Members Over Inadequate Offerings

A Nigerian prophet has sparked outrage online after calling out church members for offering “inadequate” amounts of money.
In a viral video, the prophet, whose name has not been released,
can be seen passionately addressing his congregation,
expressing his disappointment with their offering habits.
“What kind of God do you serve?” he questions.
“Do you think God is satisfied with the little coins you throw into the offering basket?”
He goes on to compare the church members’ offerings to the wealth
they spend on material possessions like expensive cars and smartphones.
“You can afford to buy the latest iPhone, but you can’t afford to give God a decent offering?” he exclaims.
His words have ignited a heated debate on social media,
with some people agreeing with his sentiment and others criticizing his approach.
Those who support the prophet’s message argue that church
members should be more generous in their giving,
especially considering the financial resources they possess.
“If you truly believe in God and appreciate all that he has done for you,
then your offerings should reflect that,” one commenter wrote.
However, others believe that the prophet’s method of shaming and guilt-tripping his
congregation is counterproductive and may even drive people away from the church.
“This is not the way to encourage people to give,” another commenter stated.
“It’s important to teach people about the importance of giving,
but it should be done in a way that is positive and uplifting.”
The prophet’s actions have also raised concerns about the role of money in religious institutions.
Some people believe that churches should focus on spiritual matters
rather than emphasizing financial contributions.
