Nov 29, 2017 – Daddy Freeze Tagged Agent Of Satan For Embarking On Campaign To Mislead Believers In Nigeria & Worldwide

By Emmanuel Olumobi

The brouhaha over to tithe or not to tithe raised by Mr Daddy Freeze on social media can neither be ignored nor accepted by the Church in Nigeria.

1. The church cannot afford to ignore the issues raised in his campaign because the campaign has gone viral and only God knows the consequences and impact it will have on the church in Nigeria in years to come.

2. We cannot ignore him because the young man has become a hero of sorts for saying out loud what many in the church have been murmuring and grumbling about for a long time. It takes someone with a lot of courage, boldness and passion for a cause to defile the alphas and omegas that some church leaders have become in Nigeria.

3. We cannot ignore him because the mismanagement and misappropriation of collections by churches in Nigeria is no more a secret, if the church refuses to apply wisdom and humility now and begin to be openly accountable to her followers, it runs the risk of a US Senator Charles Grassley styled probe into the finances of Pastors and churches in Nigeria. Jim Obazee and those sacked from Financial Reporting Council must be enjoying themselves by the soap opera going on.

4. The church cannot ignore him because of the truth, Nigeria Christians deserve better than what they are getting from their leaders, to whom much is given much is also expected. The leaders have the choice to see this campaign as a wake-up call to repent of the wickedness and hypocrisies going on, there is grace now to begin to show mercy and demand justice for the poor as expected by Jesus the owner of his church, or else they run the risk of the woes Jesus pronounced on the scribes and the Pharisees.

5. The church cannot ignore this campaign meant to force her to spend collections rightly on needy saints, orphans, widows as expected by Jesus. Because ultimately that is what matters to the lord, not the competition to build kilometres long campgrounds and auditoriums and the “wonder of the world” cathedrals. Jesus warned the Jews of his days on earth that the temple they were so proud of will sooner than they thought become rubbles.

In like manners, many of the Catholic Cathedrals in Europe have become tourist monuments, cafes and shops as we speak. The people left the magnificent Cathedrals desolate because they felt betrayed by the church they have given so much. There is so much to learn in church history, I wonder why leaders are not reading them.

5. We cannot ignore Daddy Freeze and his campaign because it is an exegetical fact that tithe is not explicitly taught in the New Testament church neither was it commanded, the idea of even cursing anyone for defaulting is therefore out of the question. So the muddling up of Scriptures to intimidate people must stop. Collect tithe if you will but explain it in the right context. I will explain what I mean in the next few paragraphs.

On the flip side, the church cannot accept the campaign by Daddy Freeze against proportionate and regular given by believers because some of his biblical assertions are not just correct.

1. Jesus never condemned tithing nor speak negatively against it. To suggest that he did will amount to reading into the scriptures meanings that are far-fetched. The context of Jesus’ mention of tithe in Matt 23:23 (Luke 11:42) was clear, he was rebuking the hypocrisy of correctly and rightly paying tithe but denying people of more important things like showing mercy and ensuring justice. That rebuke actually sounds relevant to the Church in Nigeria today.

2. The church cannot accept the campaign as it were because even though tithe the Old Testament way was not commanded or taught in the New Testament. There is a command to believers go give regularly and proportionately according to their income; 1 Cor 16:1-2 ” Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian church to do. On the first day of EVERY WEEK, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in KEEPING WITH YOUR INCOME, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. The emphasis here is on “in keeping with your income” (NIV), “As God hath prospered”(KJV), “as he may prosper”(NAS), “in proportion to his prosperity” (Amplified)”. The question the church should ask daddy freeze is how to determine what is proportionate among believers without using a certain percentage across the board? But I can assure him that even if the rate is 1% and not 10%, I am sure there will still be people who will say it is too much to give to the church. Of course, according to this text, the collection is not for any Apostle as some have suggested, on this I agree with Daddy Freeze.

However, daddy Freeze must also know that there are hundreds of God-fearing and faithful servants of God and churches doing the right thing with collections that will be hurt by his blanket campaign against proportionate giving. All should not be allowed to suffer because of the sins of few greedy ones. After 18 years of pastoral administration over local churches across countries in Africa and Europe, I know first hand how nearly impossible it is to run a church the right way without regular and proportionate donations from faithfuls. I believe I speak for many faithful servants of God on this. So daddy freeze should, by all means, continue his campaign against the greedy charlatans and hirelings but he should not like saul kick against genuine work of God. He may end up eating his words when God catch up with him as he did with Saul.

3. Believers must ignore Daddy freeze’s campaign and should continue to give regularly and proportionately to support genuine needs both in the church in Nigeria and among every human the Lord brings across their path. I hear some say Bill Gates does not pay tithe, yet he is the richest man in the world, well, the last time I checked I read he gave 5% of his total fortune in Microsoft to charity. That is a lot of giving by an “unbeliever”.

I also read that Dangote gave 5% of his wealth to a foundation, his faith requires him to give only 2.5%. Jesus said to some in Matt 5:20 “except their righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven”.

Let believers at least give the 10% the Pharisee and scribes gave and let the church exceed them by showing mercy and insisting on law-justice to the people of Nigeria including from church or mosque going Governors who refuse to pay workers salary for months. Amen!

    Why are they so much against his position on tithing in this Yahoo Pastors and their agents age?
    Did he express a negative position on anything else related to the bible?
    Why are they so much angered by his position on this one issue related to money?
    Source of their mansion, automobiles and aircraft acquisitions.
    The Yahoo Pastors and their agents fight is all about keeping their source of fund for worldly acquisitions going, nothing to do with anything else.

    THE TITHING WAS CREATED BY THE SLAVE TRADERS , SO HE IS RIGHT , BECAUSE MOST OF THE THINGS WERE NOT OF GOD , IT WAS CREATED BY OGBONI FRATERNITY WHO BROUGH CHRISTIANITY TO NIGERIA, MOST ESPECIALLY ,, THE YORUBA CALLED IT ,,IKORE,,

    DID YOU PEOPLE KNOWS WHO HAVE CREATED THIS FESTIVAL? PLEASE GO AND READ YOUR HISTORY VERY WELL , BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS CREATED OGBONI FRATERNITY CULT AND LATE SIR ADEYEMO ALAKIJA AND SIR OGUNBIYI, AND SIR SDETOKUNBO ADEMOLA AND MADM JOKE PETERS AND SIR J .OLADEINDE AND REVEREND M SOMADE COLE ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE TOP MEMBER OF ROMAN CATHOLIC AND ANGLICAN IN THOSE DAY 1913.

    THEY WERE SPIRITUAL LEADERS AND INNOVATORS WHO INTRODUCED THINGS INTO THE CHURCHES SUCH AS CELBRATIION OF HARVEST FESTICVAL INTO THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN 1910 A.D THE YORUBA CALLED THE FESTIVAL ,, IKORE,,

    LATE SIR OGUNBIYI WAS THE FIRST PERSON WHO PUT PUBLIC CHRISTIAN REVIVAL SERVICE IN PRACTICE IN 1913A.D WHEN HE FOUNDED THE LAGOS KESWICK CONVENTION

    SIR T.A.JACOBSON OGUNBIYI AND OTHERS BISHOPS ACTUALLY FOUNDED OGBONI, AND THEY BROUGHT CHRISTIANITY TO NIGERIA AND

    THEY INTRODUCE ALL SORT OF THINGS INTO CHRISTIANITY. THE TITHING STARTED AFTER THE SLAVE TRADE IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE THE SLAVE TRADERS, SO IT HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD AT ALL.

    IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SIR OGUNBIYI AND SIR ALAKIJA WHO ARE THE FOUNDER OF OGBONI FRATERNITY AND WHO ARE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT CHRISTIANITY TO NIGERIA.

          the Catholics, Anglicans, and methodist are not pentecostals. your so called daddy freeze recommended catholics as the true Christians, infact he even said that the pope is a true christian, and he condemns the pentecostal pastors. I don’t know the origination of the above churches you listed and i don’t want to know how they originated because it will lead me to blaspheming.
          your daddy freeze is a supporter of catholics, and you are not. its funny. yesterday the same daddy freeze wrote on why he doesn’t respect beyounce. Lmao… he is just looking for attention… is he expecting the so called Beyonce to reply him? someone that doesn’t even know if he is existing…
          daddy freeze have not proven it in the scripture that paying tithes is not mandatory

    Kingsley ogubor, thanks for that comment… The reasons why pastors are fighting against this Mr freeze doctrine is because, if you don’t pay your tithe, then you are robbing God according to Malachi 3:8-10.
    in verse 10, God ordered that we should bring all our tithes and offerings to his house, so that they will be food in his house, in other words, so that his house will rich.
    in the new testament, in the book of Matthew 5:23-24, Jesus stated that when will bring our gifts(offerings and tithes) to the altar of God, we should reconcile with all our brethrens first before we come to offer at the altar of God.
    it very funny that Mr daddy freeze have not really proven a part of the bible that said tithing is not relevant, whether in the old or new testament.
    this same daddy freeze talks about pastors like bishop oyedepo and pastor Adeboye not helping the poor.
    my question is, how will he know if this men of God helps the poor when Jesus stated in the book of Matthew 6:1-4, that whatever you give, let no other person know about it. Jesus said do not give alms before men,to be seen by them. otherwise you have no reward from God. He said when you help people, don’t sound a trumpet about it, so that people will not give glory onto you instead of God.
    The end time is near, the doctrines of the devil is polluting our nation now.
    Daddy freeze should shut that mouth of his before its too late.

      pls someone should prove it in the bible were tithes and offerrings are not relevant.
      daddy freeze have never picked a scripture in the bible that insisted that tithes is not relevant.
      because the bible i read says that if you don’t pay ur tithe, then you arec robbing God.
      it is not ur business on how the tithe is been used by the church. just do ur part by bringing ur tithes to God’s house, just as he had commanded

      Ade eagle, it was stated in the Bible that the house of God must be full with meat and food, in other words, riches… because he asked the congregation to donate a billion naira for church project doesn’t mean he is a thief… is the church not for God? infact the church of God is suppose to be the most expensive and most magneficient buildings in the world. we are talking about God’s own project…
      That is how one girl they call dencia called pastor adeboye insultive names and even said God will punish him…
      I laugh in Spanish…people are too blind to see that Satan is raising an organisation of anti Christ in nigeria

    SILUTION TO THE UNENDING TITHE/TITHING CONTROVERSY
    (VIA THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – John 14:26; 16:13)
    The confusion the Tithe controversy poses is the unfortunate exposure that the Church, the Body of Christ last one major factor; and that is intimate relationship with Christ, the Head of the Church. If we do, all these brohaha would not arisen. This is because someone would have wisely noted that the ultimate solution to the unending controversy is to seek the interpretation of the Tithe issue from the Holy Spirit, our ultimate guide, whom Christ told us will teach us all things (John 14:26) and guide us into all truths (John 16:13). By so doing, the Holy Spirit will ultimately interpret and sort out the tithe confusion, and other myriad docteinary issues bedeviling the Church of the Lord. The pertinent question is: are the Church leaders who are exploiting the situation trying to hide under religious doctrines to continue the extortion by trying to crucify Daddy Freeze who boldly voiced out one of the unfortunate tragedies that has befallen the Christendom? In conclusion, spiritual problems and puzzles are supposed to be rightly dissected by given them sane spiritual interpretations, solutions and approaches via the leading of the Holy Spirit.
    May the peace of the Lord ultimately reign amongst His faithfuls.
    My regards,
    Pastor Dallas.

    If you say Daddy Freeze is an agent of Satan trying to mislead believers on tithing, I disagree with you. Just tell us anywhere in Bible where the early Apostles who started the Church collected tithes or talked about tithing. Whatever you are saying back it up with the scriptures. Even me, I want to know.

    This article is a masterpiece and I tend to agree with the author. Psalm 82: 5 which says, “They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course”.

    The devil is really using Daddy Freeze to blindfold and keep believers to be ignorant of one of the pillars through which God prospers his people. He really wants to see people remain in poverty.
