| Nicholas Osei a.k.a Prophet Kumchacha |
Founder and Leader of
the Heaven's Gate Ministries, Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet
Kumchacha, has revealed they use the church's tithes as monthly salary.
According to the man of
God, it is not a sin to use tenth part of one's annual income contributed by
members for the upkeep of servants of God.
To tithe is to make a
contribution equal to one-tenth of your income, usually to a church or
religious institution. Devout church-goers usually tithe, even in years when
their finances are very tight.
But some have
questioned the essence of tithe especially when its use is not explained to
church members who make the contribution.
But Prophet Kumchacha
on Accra-based 3FM said tithe and offerings given in church are for the upkeep
of pastors.
“If you come to my
church, they use the tithe to pay me and the other pastors. We actually spend
that money" he disclosed
The reason why they pay
the pastors in church, he explained is to ensure the man of God stays truthful
to members.
“Taking care of your
pastors will make it difficult for him to lie to you. He will have the strength
to pray to cover you. Blessing your pastor will also give you many blessings in
return…” he stated.
But when asked how much
he is paid monthly, he said: “my secret is my power and I don’t think I can
tell you".
"Church members
who take good care of their pastors allow them to have a free conscience to
reveal prophecies and pray better for them".
Prophet Kumchacha also
added that, after pastors have been paid their salaries, the rest of the money
is used to support the prisons, hospitals and the needy.
