The Bible Allows You To Use Your Tithe To Buy Alcohol- Reno Omokri Tells Christians

The ex-spokesman of former Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Pastor Reno Omokri on Thursday took to various social media platforms to prove that drinking alcohol was biblical.



In a post on his Facebook page, Omokri said the Bible gives Christians the liberty to use their tithe to purchase alcohol, even spirits. He quoted Deuteronomy 14:26 to back himself up.

He noted that it isn't a sin to drink, that the only thing God frowns out is drunkenness.


He went ahead to buttress his points with various Bible characters and passages where God allegedly endorses intake of alcohol.

Quoting Matthew 26:29, Omokri said that they drink in heaven. He also made reference to 1 Timothy 5: 23 where he said Apostle Paul endorsed alcohol.

In reference to Psalms 104:15, the ex- presidential spokesperson said the purpose of alcohol was to gladden our hearts.




He then called on Christians to liberate themselves from church regulations and traditions. According, to him, Jesus has set them free and they need no further salvation than that.

He charged his followers not to allow men put them in bondage, calling on them to emancipate themselves from religious slavery.




It would be noted that many churches, especially in this part of the world, condemn intake of alcohol, saying it is a propeller of ungodliness.






Following the post made by Reno Omokri, the Special Assistant to the former President, Good luck Jonathan, concerning the trending tweet made by Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder and Senior Pastor of the Living Faith Ministry (aka Winners Chapel) on tithing, some social media Users have reacted to it.


Bishop Oyedepo was quoted in the tweet that "tithing is an inescapable covenant obligation. Prosperity not just wealth is impossible without tithing, because when you're not paying your tithe, you're under a financial curse."

The above tweet led to many social media Users reacting to it but Omokri in his reaction said some people asked him to speak on what Bishop Oyedepo is alleged to have said on Tithing.


According to Reno, "It is not always possible to convey your full meaning in a tweet. I still respect Bishop."






His comment further draw many reactions from his Followers.

Omoyeyo said: "Bishop Oyedepo is right, Heaven will not built itself. There are so many uncomplicated building in heaven that needs completion. Angel Gabriel needs money for cement, sands and golden roofing. Na una dey make the second coming of Christ to be delayed. Repent!"

@esusmith said; "That was against us, He took it out of the way and nailed it to the cross. If Christ nailed it to His cross, who is that person that can unnail it? As a Jew if you didnt have a tithe or offering you couldn't go to worship at the temple... Paul too didn't pay tithes."

@Babatundey13 said; "How come Bishop Oyedepo never quote this part of the Bible.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) says, "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

@GeorgeFreeborn7 said; "Let them therefore think, not in terms of tithes, but in the affection of allness, and thus gain entrance into everlasting abodes through their true Friends, Jehovah God and his Son Christ Jesus.—Luke 16:9."
