Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said he made a mistake by saying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has thus apologised to his congregation for misleading them.
The cleric tendered his apology while speaking at the ongoing annual national youth convention of the church at the RCCG Redemption City.
“I am going to be talking to everybody as soon as God permit me, I am going to apologise for making a mistake for saying that if you don’t pay tithe, you will not be making it to heaven. That is wrong,” he said.
He said the Bible never said such.
According to him, the bible says peaceful and holy living are the prerequisites for making heaven.
Recalls that Pastor Adeboye had claimed that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
“I apologise 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’
