    A church that takes from the poor while teaching them to keep sacrificing has some serious explaining to do to the God it claims to serve.
    Apostle Theo, your sermon raises some serious questions about the relationship between faith, tithing and financial hardship. At around the 23-minute mark, you describe committing to give God 20% of a commission you were praying to receive. Later, you explain that after paying your tithe and other expenses, you had only five cents left, with hardly any food at home and barely enough petrol. You present this as part of your testimony of faith, but I think we need to ask what message this sends to people who are already struggling to survive.
    When someone is unemployed, struggling to pay rent, unable to afford groceries or worried about their children's school fees, should they really be encouraged to keep giving money they may desperately need for their own survival, while declaring that their breakthrough has already arrived? Your sermon teaches people to hold on to their confession, ignore doubt and continue believing they have received what they prayed for. But what happens when someone does exactly that for months or years and their circumstances remain unchanged? Do they eventually get told that they did not have enough faith, that they entertained doubt, or that they failed to trust God properly? Because poverty is not always the result of negative thinking, insufficient prayer or a failure to believe. Sometimes people are struggling because they are unemployed, underpaid or living in a society where opportunities and resources are unequally distributed.
    Faith may give someone hope, but hope does not automatically put food on the table. And when a church teaches people to trust God for financial provision while also receiving money from them, it is fair to ask what practical responsibility that church has towards the people making those sacrifices.
    Let's talk about tithing. There are people sitting in church every Sunday who are choosing between electricity and groceries, who cannot afford transport to look for work, whose children need school fees, or who have to borrow money just to get through the month. Yet these same people are taught that giving is an act of faith and that they should trust God to provide. Why must a struggling person continually demonstrate their faith through financial sacrifice? Why is the burden so often placed on the person with the least, while the institution receiving the money is not questioned with the same intensity about what it is doing to relieve their hardship?
    And let's be honest about the power dynamics at play. We have churches led by millionaire pastors, some of whom are white and extraordinarily wealthy, collecting money from predominantly Black congregations while the very people funding their institutions continue to struggle. The optics are glaring, and the contradiction is impossible to ignore. If a church teaches its members to trust God for financial provision while consistently receiving money from them, it is reasonable to ask what that institution is doing to improve the financial circumstances of its own congregation.
    This is particularly relevant to CFC because the church also calls on its members to participate in outreach programmes, donate food and volunteer their time to help struggling communities. Helping people outside the church is a good thing. But what about the struggling people already sitting in your congregation? What happens when the person being asked to donate a can of beans is also struggling to put food in their own cupboard? What happens when the person volunteering to serve the community is unemployed, financially distressed and desperately needs someone to show up for them?
    If the congregation supplies the donations, the volunteers, the labour and the money, what is the church contributing beyond organising the generosity of its own members? Does CFC have meaningful programmes to help its struggling members access employment, fund education, provide groceries, assist with school fees or support families facing genuine financial hardship? And if these things are happening, why isn't practical care for struggling congregants as central to the conversation as tithing, giving, faith and outreach?
    At around the 55-minute mark, Apostle Theo tells new believers that they have been born into God's family and that "we'll take care of you." That is a powerful promise. But what does taking care of people actually look like? Is it only praying for them, encouraging them and telling them to keep believing, or does it also mean helping them when they cannot afford food, when their children need school fees, when they are unemployed or when they are facing eviction? Spiritual encouragement matters, but it cannot always replace material assistance.
    A church should not simply teach people to trust God for provision. It should also examine how it can become part of the practical support that people need. If a church can organise outreach for the wider community, surely it can also consider how to support members of its own congregation who are struggling. If it can teach people to sacrifice financially, it should be equally willing to speak about financial responsibility, the dangers of giving beyond one's means and the importance of ensuring that vulnerable people are not left feeling guilty for protecting their own basic needs.
    So here's my question to CFC: when the person who has faithfully tithed, donated, volunteered and served for years finally has nothing left to give, what happens to them? Does the church help them put food on the table? Does it help pay their children's school fees, connect them to employment opportunities or provide meaningful assistance while they get back on their feet? Or are they told to pray harder, maintain their confession and keep having faith?
    Because if the church expects its members to show their faith through sacrifice, then the church should also be willing to demonstrate its own values through tangible acts of care. You cannot continually ask people to give while treating their material needs as though those needs can be resolved by faith alone.
    A church's commitment to God should be visible not only in how much money it collects or how many outreach programmes it organises, but also in how it treats the people who sustain it when they have nothing left to give.
