• He claims the money and things given to orphans and the needy should have been brought to the house of the Lord as tithe offering

A yet-to-be-identified Ghanaian pastor has spoken about Christian Atsu's death, claiming his demise is because he refused to bring his donations to the house of the Lord.

Philanthropy can not guarantee a place in the kingdom of God. If you give to the orphans, the orphans must save you when you are in trouble.

He added that there is no good in doing all of that if a person is not doing it in the house of the Lord, where there should be abundant food and enough to be shared with others.
