The Family Fellowship, newly established ministry of former Senior Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) City of David Parish, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, has acquired a permanent site at Eko Atlantic.
Pastor Iluyomade broke the news during the church’s second service at Civic Centre. He disclosed that the land was donated by a member of the church.
Pastor ID, used the occasion to encourage Christians to embrace the act of giving, both to their fellow humans and to support God’s work.
According to him, many believers struggle with the principle of giving, which he described as a sacrificial act that brings God’s blessings.
In his sermon, titled “Giving,” Pastor Iluyomade said: “As believers, you have to be very careful because there are all kinds of doctrines flying around today. I want us to reason together because there have been many teachings concerning giving. If you are not careful, you will miss it in this area, and that is the gospel truth.”
He continued: “Your giving begins with your offering. Tithe belongs to God—10 percent of your income belongs to Him. And God knows mathematics. Many people avoid reading Malachi 3, where God complains about people robbing Him in tithes and offerings.”
“Ministry costs money—that’s why God said we should bring tithes so the needs of His house are met. Concerning offerings, God said everyone should give according to how He has blessed them. Naturally, the rich should give more than those with less. We must give in proportion to our prosperity”.
