In a surprising act of generosity, a Catholic priest, Father Bekomson, stunned his congregation by transforming the traditional concept of tithing into an opportunity to assist members in financial need. During a recent service, the priest made an unusual request, inviting those who had ₦5,000 ready to give to come forward, igniting curiosity among the attendees.
As several members responded, stepping up to offer their contributions, the atmosphere shifted when the priest unexpectedly asked those struggling financially and in need of ₦5,000 to also step forward. This call for assistance was met with surprise and intrigue from the congregation, who were witnessing a unique approach to charitable giving within their community.
In an inspiring display of generosity and faith, Father Bekomson instructed those who had brought tithe money to give it directly to those in need. This unexpected act of kindness stirred a range of emotions, surprising many in the congregation and prompting reactions from social media users who were touched by the priest’s message.
The priest emphasized the importance of selflessness and supporting one another, asserting that tithing should not only be about giving to the church but should also encompass helping those in need, especially within the community. His words resonated deeply, encouraging a culture of compassion and mutual aid among the church members.
[h2>Reactions as a priest encourages giving by redistributing tithe to the needyTrojanLive95 remarked: “Most of them will rather pay 5k as tithe than give the people that sincerely need it,” reflecting skepticism about the congregation's willingness to share. kinglabi_ added: “Some of them will feel reluctant to give 💔,” indicating a potential reluctance to assist others even in the face of need.
ObianujuMenkiti applauded the initiative: “I love this. Excellent 💯.. Giving to those who truly need it. As it should BE.. plus I love the technique he used because I can assure you that if he asked them to just randomly give any 1 member the 5k, the number of givers will be low.” This highlights the effectiveness of the priest’s method in motivating donations.
Odogwu_Rico humorously stated: “I think tomorrow if he tries this, many of them will not come out to give 5k again 😂,” suggesting that the novelty of the situation might deter future generosity. Meanwhile, benfil_ added: “Most of them will rather come out to give the bishop than to give their fellow member who sincerely needs it,” pointing out a common attitude toward giving within religious settings.
