I don’t collect, preach about tithe in my church — Odumeje

Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, also known as Odumeje, stated that he does not collect tithes or preach about tithing within his church, the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry. During an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, he emphasized that his ministry focuses on demonstrating spiritual power rather than emphasizing financial contributions. Odumeje criticized other churches for placing excessive importance on collecting money from members, arguing that such practices often lack tangible evidence or miracles and rely on storytelling. He clarified that while he does not collect tithes, he does not view tithing itself as inherently wrong, stating that the decision to pay tithes should remain a personal choice between individuals and God. Additionally, he condemned the idea that failure to pay tithes could prevent someone from entering heaven, asserting that this belief is not divinely ordained.
