“I’m Sorry, That’s Wrong” – Pastor Adeboye Apologises On His Statement On Tithe

Pastor Enoch A. Adeboye has apologized for claiming that Christians who do not pay tithes will not enter heaven.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God addressed his congregants about tithing in a broadcasted message that went viral, prompting him to trend on X.

“I want to be apologising for making a mistake, for saying that if you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven. Sorry, that’s wrong,” he said, eliciting a loud murmur from members.

He continued amidst the noise from members: “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 added that “it’s possible to be right and wrong at the same time.”

He went on to describe how many times we’ve assumed something to be correct just to discover later that we were wrong.

He explained: “For years, we thought that light travels in straight line. Now, is that correct?… But later on we discovered it’s not straight as a rod, light travels in waves.”

He went on to explain that only novices should contribute 10% while others should give more, even though he acknowledged that he was mistaken to believe that tithing was a requirement for entering heaven.

He said: “It is wrong to limit you to ten percent.”

“Ten percent should be for beginners,” he added, saying some people should be paying “20 percent, 30 percent.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
