A man has stirred conversation online after announcing that he has stopped paying tithes in church and decided to redirect the money to helping families in need.
The man made the revelation in a post on social media, explaining that although his decision might appear unusual to many Christians, he believes it reflects his personal understanding of compassion and service.
According to him, instead of giving the traditional 10 per cent tithe to the church, he now channels that same amount into humanitarian support for people struggling financially.
He stated that every month, the funds are used to assist a family facing hardship, saying the move is a conscious effort to ensure his contributions have a direct and visible impact.
The man noted that with the current economic challenges affecting many households, he feels more compelled to help individuals who are in urgent need of support.
He acknowledged that some people might criticise his decision but said he remains confident in his intentions and is ready to stand by them.
“My decision might be weird to some Christians but I have decided to stop paying tithe in church. The said 10% will go to humanity. Every month, a family in need gets sorted. You can judge me but I am ready to face the Almighty God because only my creator has the final say,” he wrote.
His statement quickly sparked mixed reactions online. While some users praised him for prioritising humanitarian assistance and supporting struggling families, others argued that tithing remains an important religious obligation that should not be replaced.
The post has since fueled wider discussions on social media about faith, charity, and how believers choose to practise generosity, especially during difficult economic times when many people are facing financial pressure.
