The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has apologised for a previous sermon suggesting that Christians who do not pay tithe might not make it to heaven.
Adeboye had earlier in one of his sermons taught that anybody who does not pay tithe might not make heaven.
He, however, corrected the impression while ministering at the ongoing youth convention on Thursday.
The cleric said: I am going to be apologizing for saying, If you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven. I’m sorry, that’s wrong, that’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is, follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.
“It is possible to be right and wrong at the same time. I will prove it to you. For years, we taught that light travels in a straight line. Later we discovered it travels in waves.
“It is wrong to limit you to 10 percent when some of you should be giving 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent. 10 percent should be for beginners. Giving should be done violently.”
