DADDY ADEBOYE APOLOGIZES FOR SAYING NO TITHE NO HEAVEN
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has apologised for saying that Christians who don’t pay tithe might not make it to heaven.
Daddy had previously said that paying tithe was one of the essential criteria to make heaven.
But he apologised for the statement which he explained as a “mistake” while addressing the youth congregation on Thursday at the ongoing Youth Convention of the RCCG at the Redemption City, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State.
He clarified that to make it to Heaven, you need to live a peaceful and holy life, according to the bible.
“I’m apologising for saying that ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven” sorry, that is wrong, that’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is ‘Be at peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God’,” he stated.
Daddy Adeboye explained “It is possible to be right and wrong at the same time. I will prove it to you. I’m a scientist so I know that for years, we thought that light travels in straight lines….
“Later on we discovered light travels in waves. It is not straight as a road, going in one direction but in waves”.
“It is wrong to limit you to 10 per cent at a time when some of you should be talking of 20, 30, 40 per cent. 10 per cent should be for beginners. Giving should be violently I believe God will give me an opportunity very soon to give you the details.”
He further illustrated the story of a man who pledged to give N3.5 million, equal to the sum of donations of whole congregants during a fundraising at a conference of late American preacher, Kenneth Hagin.
He said he had since been challenged to pay beyond 10 per cent as tithe when upon inquiry the man disclosed to him that “five years ago I started a company with 500 dollars and I said to God your are mine senior partner…, prosper the business and I will not insult you with 10 per cent, I will give you 90 per cent. He said five years later my turnover is $50 million.”
“From that day onward I have been increasing my own steadily. I’ve not reached 90 per cent yet, but I’m far from 10 per cent. It’s wrong for me to say you should be paying only 10 per cent,” daddy Adeboye said.
Thank you.
I appreciate the boldness and humility our Father in faith showed us that,no one is greater than our Master Jesus Christ.
To grow high and occupy the lost territories we need the complete surrender to the ministry of the Holy spirit. More grace up on his life
