"Preacher, Let My People Go": Is tithing for us today?

By Zakhe Mazibuko

In "PREACHER, LET MY PEOPLE GO", Zakhe Mazibuko addresses one of the most contentious and often misunderstood issues in the modern church: tithing. Drawing from scripture, history, and personal ministry experience, Mazibuko challenges readers to reconsider the practice of tithing in light of the New Covenant of grace.

The book explores the historical evolution of tithing, tracing its roots from the Old Testament law-where it served specific purposes for supporting the Levitical priesthood and aiding the vulnerable-to its distortion in contemporary church practices. Mazibuko argues that while tithing was a mandated requirement for ancient Israel, it is not a binding command for New Testament believers. Instead, the New Covenant emphasizes voluntary, Spirit-led giving motivated by grace, generosity, and love.

Key themes in the book include:

The Old Testament origins of tithing and its role in Israel's theocratic system.How tithing was influenced by historical events like the Crusades and medieval church policies.The New Testament approach to giving, focuses on cheerful, generous, and proportionate contributions rather than fixed percentages.The dangers of legalism, guilt-based giving, and the commercialization of faith.The need for transparency and accountability in church finances and pastoral compensation.

Mazibuko does not seek to undermine the church but to liberate believers from practices that may hinder their spiritual growth. He advocates for a return to biblical truth and a culture of giving rooted in freedom, integrity, and authentic faith.

The book is a call to both pastors and congregants to reflect, dialogue, and realign church practices with the liberating message of the gospel.
