After criticising pastors for same act, Daddy Freeze defends taking a gift from his congregation

Leader of the Free Nation Online Church, Daddy Freeze was recently called out on social media after his church members bought him a phone, an act he preaches against when done by other pastors. 
Daddy Freeze has come out to defend himself on why he collected the gift. 


He said “I’ve never been against collecting gifts and I tell my congregation that especially if the gifts aren't as ridiculous as private jets. We don’t take tithes or offerings; we don't sow seeds and any of the monetary compensations the regular churches have, such as pastor’s appreciation fund and the likes. There is nowhere in the Bible that gifts were turned down; so we can't turn gifts down. What's important is that a preacher must tell his congregation that the blessing of giving is in giving to the poor, not to the church or the preacher. I tell my congregation that whatever gifts they give me are gifts of love. I have needs too. That doesn't make me a hypocrite.”
