The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has reacted to social media criticisms over his declaration that non-tithers will not make heaven.
Pastor Adeboye, who spoke at the church’s Northern Regional Camp in Jos, Plateau State, reiterated his warning that tithing was a necessary condition to inherit the Kingdom of God, adding that none of the requirements should be left
out.
Pastor Adeboye drew criticism from several celebrities and on-air personalities after he warned about the dangers of ignoring tithing during the April Holy Ghost Service of the Redemption Camp
along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, stated that born-again Christians, who do not give to God one-tenth of their income, may not make heaven.
Giving a message on the theme: ‘Stronger Than My Enemy’, the ‘Daddy G.O.’ admonished the congregants to ignore those criticisms from those who have been “attacking me on the internet” but who do not know they are also attacking the church.
The man of God quoted from the scripture in Matthew 23:23 where Jesus rebuked the scribes
and pharisees for not complying with all the tenets of the Kingdom.
The minister asked the congregation,
“They say
Pastor Adeboye only talks about tithes, is it only what I preach? Don’t I talk about holiness, healing,
prosperity, salvation?”
“Don’t let anybody deceive you because if you meet
Jesus on the Last Day, you don’t say I stopped
paying tithes because somebody said it is wrong,”
he added.
While stressing the need for members to avoid mockers.
