Paying Tithe Is a Human Principle, Not God's Principle – Pastor Dolapo Lawal Disagrees With Oyedepo and Ibiyeomie Pastor Dolapo Lawal has challenged the tithing theology preached by Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor David Ibiyeomie, particularly the teaching that life will become financially difficult for Christians who fail to pay their tithes. He narrated an experience with a lady in Maryland whom he was trying to convince to pay her tithe. According to him, the woman complained that her financial progress was being affected because she was not paying her tithes regularly. However, Pastor Lawal disagreed with that line of thinking, describing compulsory tithing as a human principle rather than God's principle. He argued that people should change their minds and return to God so that the torments they are experiencing will come to an end.
