Daddy Freeze Reveals Why He Received Gifts From His Church Members

2 Min Read

The Founder of Free Nation Online Church, Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze, has responded to allegations of hypocrisy levelled against him for accepting gifts from his church members when he kicked against same by other pastors.

Daddy Freeze, who got a phone as gift from one of his church members, said he had never kicked against acceptance of gifts by any pastor, saying that the Bible did not kick against such.

According to The Punch, Daddy Freeze said“I’ve never been against collecting gifts and I tell my congregation that, especially if the gifts aren’t as ridiculous as private jets. We don’t take tithes or offerings; we don’t sow seeds and any of the monetary compensations the regular churches have, such as pastor’s appreciation fund and the likes. There is nowhere in the Bible that gifts were turned down; so, we can’t turn gifts down. What’s important is that a preacher must tell his congregation that the blessing of giving is in giving to the poor, not to the church or the preacher. I tell my congregation that whatever gifts they give me are gifts of love. I have needs too. That doesn’t make me a hypocrite.”
