Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has issued a public apology to the body of Christ following a previous statement where he claimed that those who do not pay tithe will not go to heaven.
A video has been circulating on social media, showing the revered leader admitting that this statement was an error.
His apology has sparked widespread discussions among Christians, both in Nigeria and across the globe.
This change of stance from Pastor Adeboye comes amid growing debates on the practice of tithing, a topic that has recently gained increased scrutiny, particularly through the teachings of Dr. Abel Damina.
Dr. Damina has been vocal in challenging traditional views on tithing, calling for a more scripturally accurate interpretation.
It appears that this wave of doctrinal re-evaluation has now reached the RCCG, leading to what some see as a significant shift in perspective from Pastor Adeboye.
This development marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s Christian landscape, as one of the nation’s most influential spiritual leaders addresses a subject that has been a cornerstone of church practice for years.
Many are watching closely to see how this unfolds, as the domino effect of these changing perspectives on tithing could lead to further shifts within Nigerian churches.
For many, it signals that change is indeed underway in Nigeria’s religious sphere.
