Prophet Kofi Oduro, General Overseer of Alabaster International Ministry, has criticised a female member of the Wesley Cathedral Methodist Church after she labelled pastors and church elders as “thieves” in a heated dispute over tithing practices.
The controversy stems from a viral video in which the woman voiced frustration over alleged church rules. In the footage, she claimed members who fail to pay tithes are sometimes denied financial assistance during funerals or personal crises, including the death of close relatives.
The remarks sparked widespread debate online, prompting a strong response from Prophet Kofi Oduro. In a video shared online, he dismissed the woman’s comments and questioned her reasoning.
He argued that the sums involved did not justify the level of anger she displayed.
“So when you left your home to come and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, didn’t you know that you would pay offering or tithe?… Who in this room can pay a tithe of one million dollars?”
He continued by challenging the scale of her complaint.
“So, how much is the money that she is making a big deal out of? How much is your money?” he asked.
Prophet Oduro also questioned whether she would have confronted a traditional priest in the same manner she spoke about church leadership.
“How is it possible for a church member to stand before her pastor and spew such nonsense? Can you stand before a fetish priest and say such nonsense?”
He added further remarks on traditional spiritual practices and offerings.
“How many of you go empty-handed when you visit a fetish priest? Who has ever taken blood money with an empty hand?” Prophet Kofi Oduro questioned.
