The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has recounted an encounter involving several billionaires from his congregation who had queried the administration of their tithes.
In a widely circulated video, Pastor Adeboye recounted the incident where these affluent members approached him, seeking a detailed account of how their tithes were being utilized by the church.
Initially hesitant due to his belief that such scrutiny ran contrary to biblical principles, Pastor Adeboye eventually relented, anticipating divine intervention in response to the billionaires’ challenge.
Over the subsequent two years, the individuals in question faced a series of setbacks, including the termination of contracts and financial downturns.
Recognizing the correlation between their actions and their misfortunes, the billionaires acknowledged that they had incurred divine disfavor as a consequence of their inquiry into tithing practices.
Despite Pastor Adeboye’s intention to demonstrate God’s grace and his aversion to discord, those who questioned the sacred practice of tithing ultimately departed from the church and experienced a decline in their wealth, thereby relinquishing their status as billionaires.

Some billionaires asked Pastor Adeboye for a monthly report of how their tithes were being spent. He felt this was unbiblical, but reluctantly did it.
In the next 2 years, God punished them for their pride in asking for accountability by reducing their wealth.
