The Redeemed Christian Church (RCCG) General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has apologised for saying that Christians who don’t pay tithe might not make heaven.

Pastor Adeboye tendered the apology on Thursday night during the ongoing RCCG Youth Convention at the Redemption Camp.

He said: “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’.”

For those who don’t know, Pastor Adeboye had before now said that paying tithe is one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.

However, Pastor Adeboye described his earlier statement as a “mistake”.
