The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has apologised for saying some Christians won't make heaven because they don't pay tithe.
Adeboye had previously preached that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
However, in a video trending on social media, Adeboye while addressing his congregation tendered an apology, saying his earlier claim was a mistake.
The 82-year-old cleric, who warned critics not to mock God earlier in the year, admitted that his claim was wrong because it was not stated in the Bible. "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.
