The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has issued an apology over his old statement that Christians who fail to pay tithe might not make it to heaven.
The highly revered preacher once posited that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
ย Adeboye has now apologised for the sermon which he described as a โmistakeโ while addressing a youth congregation on Thursday at the ongoing Youth Convention of the RCCG at the Redemption City, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State.
He said: โI apologise for saying โIf you donโt pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven.โ Iโm sorry, thatโs wrong, and itโs not in the Bible. What the Bible says is โFollow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see Godโ,โ he said.
โIt is possible to be right and wrong at the same time. I will prove it to you. Iโm a scientist so I know that for years we thought that light travels in straight lines.
โLater on we discovered light travels in waves. It is wrong to limit you to 10 per cent when someone is talking of 20, 30, 40 per cent. 10 per cent should be for beginners I believe God will give me an opportunity very soon to give you the details.โ
