Investigate church members who offer huge tithes, offerings – Pentecostal and Charismatic Council

The General Secretary of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Rev. Emmanuel Teimah Barrigah, has urged Christian leaders to conduct background checks on church members who pay huge tithes and offerings as a way to fight corruption in the country.

According to him, Christians make up 70 per cent of the country’s population so if there is an epidemic of corruption in the country, then some Christians must be involved in the practice which retards national development.

Ask Questions

In an interview with Zylofon FM, the General Secretary said it is time for Christian leaders to know the kind of jobs their members do and ask questions so that church members could spend within their means.

“Most especially when you see the job the person does, does not tally with the tithe and offering the person gives,” he said.

Rev Barrigah said even though the church needs the money of members to undertake important church projects, leaders should be careful of the money they take and be sure they take the right money.

Stressing on the commitment of Christian leaders to fight corruption, he said they should stand for the truth and act on it no matter the circumstances.
