Popular Nigerian televangelist Mike Bamiloye has advised Christians against using money won from sports betting to pay their tithe and offering.
He cautioned against attempting to sway God's favor with such earnings, emphasizing the sincerity and integrity of one's contributions to the church.
Bamiloye's admonition, shared on his Instagram page, urges believers to honor God with pure and righteous offerings, rather than seeking to manipulate divine favor through material gains obtained from gambling.
Nigerians have reacted to the message with a mix of opinions, with some questioning the legitimacy of using sports betting earnings for tithes, while others defend the practice.
