The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has apologised for saying that Christians who don’t pay tithe might not make heaven.
The highly revered Nigerian pastor who had previously claimed that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven, apologised for the comment while addressing his congregation in a recent video making the rounds on the internet.
Adeboye, while describing his earlier claim as a “mistake”, said the bible never said such.
The cleric emphasised that the bible says peaceful and holy living are the prerequisites for making heaven.
“I apologize for saying ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven.’ I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God’,” he said.
