Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, head of Action Chapel International Ministry, recently told his congregation that the money they give in tithes and offerings is just enough to pay for the church’s electricity.
In all honesty, the Archbishop made it clear that he does not depend on church donations to support himself personally. On the contrary, he disclosed that he is self-sufficient financially, backed by multiple business endeavours in Ghana and across the globe.
“I do a lot more than just preach,” Duncan-Williams shared. “Don’t think it’s your tithes that sustain me. In fact, the tithes and offerings aren’t even enough to cover the electricity costs. I don’t usually talk about these things, but I have investments and businesses, both here and abroad, that generate my income.”
He also stressed his dedication to tithing, making it clear that he practices what he preaches. “And I am a serious tithe payer. I pay tithe more than you all, I am telling you, and I am very consistent. Sometimes I fight my office; I tell them, have you removed the tithe? Then I say, don’t go there with me. Make sure the tithe is set aside, paid to the account, and immediately send me a picture that you have paid it before I touch the money. I am a very serious person when it comes to the things of God.”
Moreover, the Archbishop condemned pastors who ignore tithing because of their perceived status, noting that some religious leaders have veered away from biblical teachings after becoming successful.
“And there are preachers who don’t tithe because they are too big to tithe. They don’t tithe to anything, anybody. They become self-appointed fathers and men of God because they have come into success, power, wealth, and influence. They don’t have the grace to honour the scriptures anymore.”
