Speaking during the October edition of the RCCG Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye advised Christian believers not to abandon their churches if their pastors refuse to accept tithes. Instead, he suggested giving offerings as an alternative.

“If your pastor says he doesn’t want tithe, don’t leave his church. If he says all he wants is offering, give him offering,” The Punch quoted Adeboye as saying.

However, Adeboye recommended finding another church that accepts tithes for those who feel compelled to pay tithe.

“But if your heart tells you that you should give God at least 10 per cent, find a church nearby where the pastor says, ‘We can collect tithe, we will use it for the glory of God,’ then give that pastor your tithe so you don’t quarrel with your pastor, and you don’t quarrel with God," the cleric added.
