They keep tagging Africans as backward and primitive but indeed, we are keeping up to modern technologies all the way....even in our mode of worship. lol.
Our dear own Bishop David Oyedepo has taken worship to the 21st century next level with latest advancement in technologies and introduced e-transact for the collection of tithes and offering in the church. Reports say there is now a big notice board set up at the entrance of the university situated at Ota along the Idiroko road, Ogun State, which says:
’Pay your tithe and offering on the go: For tithe, dial *389*77* Amount # and For offering, dial *389*78* Amount #’.
However most church members have denied knowledge of the introduction of the e-payment method, maybe because it was made ‘strictly’ for the church’s university students.
According to a church member, Olanrewaju Oladeirin: ‘Such a thing does not exist in Winners and if it does exist I have never heard about it.’ Another member of the church, Damola Adebisi-Azeez, also vehemently denied the existence of such method of payment of tithes and offerings, saying,
‘Where did you get that from? I am telling you that such does not exist in our church and if indeed it was introduced, members (church members) would be informed.’While other church members said that the e-payment system existed in the church but for the students of Covenant University. Adesoji Abiodun, who claimed to have been a member of the church since his school days, said that electronic payment system was introduced to the students of Covenant University: ‘Yes it is available at the university and the signboard is there, but it is not at the main church,’ he said.
This e-payment method for tithes and offering was said to be introduced a few months back, especially for the Covenant University students who worship there

A little birdie once told me students of convenant university were not allowed to use phones within campus, that they can only use phoneboots incase they want to call their parents or guardian. well that was a long time ago. Has the NO PHONEs rule changed? How are they now supposed to TITHE ON THE GO?
#confused.
Well, thank God for technology.
