• The Royalhouse Chapel International leader defended churches, stressing that many operate with strict financial accountability and contribute to social causes.

• The controversy has reignited national debate on tithing, transparency, and trust in religious institutions across Ghana.

Sam Korankye Ankrah, Apostle General of Royalhouse Chapel International, has responded to the viral confrontation between a church member and her bishop over tithes, intensifying public debate around accountability in churches.

The controversy, first reported by Pulse Ghana, stems from a widely circulated video in which a woman openly challenged her church leader after he quoted Bible scripture, Malachi Chapter 3, suggesting that failure to pay tithes amounts to robbing God.

In the video, the woman argued that although she has the means to pay tithe, she has chosen not to, citing concerns about how such funds are utilised. Her remarks, which included accusations against church leadership, drew loud reactions from members of the congregation and sparked widespread online discussion.

Reacting to the incident, Apostle Korankye Ankrah criticised the woman’s comments, describing them as inappropriate and concerning.
