I made a mistake on saying ‘it’s impossible to make heaven without paying tithe’ – Pst. Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has issued an apology for his earlier statement suggesting that Christians who do not pay tithe might not make it to heaven.

In a recent address to his congregation, which has since gone viral online, the renowned cleric retracted his previous claim that paying tithe was a prerequisite for entering heaven.

He expressed regret for the comment, acknowledging that it may have caused confusion or distress among his followers.

Describing his earlier claim as a “mistake”, Adeboye said the bible never said such.

He 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.
