“Out of 100% salary, 10% ni ya mungu and 90% ni yako,” he said.

The preacher went ahead and gave an example of a person earning Ksh. 50,000. Just like a teacher, he mathematically demonstrated how the person is supposed to earn.
“Mshahara wako ni 50,000. Ukitoa 5,000, tick (right). Ukitoa 4,800 hio ni nothing..it gives you nothing na unadaiwa deni. Unadaiwa 5% plus 10%. So mwezi ujao unadaiwa 15% of the previous salary.” he explained.
According to him, believers should learn to honour tithing, because non believers have a way of spending their tithes on treatments and witchcraft.
“Watu wa dunia wanatumia tithe yao kwa waganga na mahospitali wakinunua madawa.”
While reacting to the clip, Kenyans expressed mixed reactions. A section defended the preacher arguing that his preaching was anchored in the word of God.Here are some of comments.
“That’s Biblical and that’s what I practice. Media and police struggling to put Pastor Ezekiel on the scene of crime!”
“Yes , 10% is a command from God. No negotiation. If you are a Christian read your Bible Malachi 3:8-12, Leviticus 27:30-34, Mark 12:41-44 and so on…“
“Mjaluo akiombea watu ameiba ,mjaluo akisimama u president anaibiwa ,kwani mjaluo hatakikani Kenya 😌“
“That’s true according to the Bible.There is a penalty for not being faithful in tithing.”
