Marvin Sapp Told The Ushers To Close The Church Doors Until He Got $40K [VIDEO]

Tithes and offerings, serve as a way to express gratitude for blessings, support the church’s ministry, and demonstrate faith and obedience to God.  In many religious traditions, tithing is seen as a biblical principle, and giving is a way to demonstrate obedience to God’s command.  So it might be safe to say that ‘Never Would Have Made It’ singer songwriter, Bishop Marvin Sapp thinking was to make sure his flock stayed obedient when he had the church ushers close the church doors until he received $40K.

A video has gone viral where Marvin Sapp instructed the ushers to close the church doors then he then said that both online and in-person worshippers, give $20 to reach the high-dollar total before leaving service.

“Close the doors, we all gon’ leave together. Y’all ain’t going no place but to the restaurant,” “There’s 1,000 of you tonight, and those that are watching…it’s 1,000 that’s watching online. This is a small seed. If I get 1,000 online to give this, if I get 1,000 in the sanctuary to give this, that’s $40,000 tonight.”…  “I’m challenging each of you all down here to give a $20 seed,”

And for those members that join him in the pulpit…

“Now, everyone up here, we’ve all sowed and seeded, but I need everyone up here to sow $100 because it costs to sit up here,”

According to Bishop Marvin Sapp “Giving is worship,”

Social media has erupted about Marvin Sapp, however the question is, do our church folk agree with what he did?  See below, then tell us how you feel.

Marvin Sapp is clearly HUSTLING his congregation for 40k— and using God’s name to do it.

he’s calling for the doors to be locked? that’s not faith, that’s a shakedown and a false prophet.
