‘If you are dying, you will die, I won’t give you my tithe’ – Rev. Bempah declares (video) 06.05.2026

Reverend Dr Kwadwo Bempah of Holy Hill Chapel Assemblies of God has ignited a significant public debate with his recent sermon declaring he would not use his tithe to assist a dying person, believing that prioritizing God and tithing is paramount. His controversial remarks, shared in a video excerpt, emerge amidst an ongoing discussion about the allocation of tithes, which was intensified by a viral incident where a church member questioned the use of tithe funds. Rev. Bempah argued that personal commitments to God should supersede all else, even in dire circumstances, citing Matthew 6:33, and suggesting that giving his tithe to God might instead lead to divine intervention for the suffering individual. The pastor's stance has elicited divided opinions, with some commending his faith-centric perspective and others condemning it as lacking compassion, especially in life-or-death situations.
