According to the Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), people should pay their tithes from a place of love, not fear.

In a clip, posted on Twitter by Daddy Freeze, Bishop Okonkwo says, “All those fighting them with curse, I have done that before. I was fighting people because I didn't know any better.”

He goes on to imitate preachers saying, “If you don't pay your tithe, your pocket will be tight.”

“We conjure all kinds of things,” the bishop adds while laughing.

The video ends with him reminding Christians to give cheerfully in order to receive God’s blessings.
