Catholic Church Supports Adeboye’s Apology on Tithing Teachings
The Catholic Church has expressed support for Pastor Enoch Adeboye, leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, following his recent apology over previous teachings on tithing.
Adeboye, in a notable shift, recanted his earlier claim that paying tithes was essential for entering heaven.
Instead, he clarified that salvation and access to heaven are based on holiness and living in peace with others, rather than financial contributions.
Rev. Fr. Anthony Godonu, Director of Social Communications for the Lagos Catholic Archdiocese, commended Adeboye’s decision to correct his stance.
According to Godonu, the apology was the right course of action, as it aligned with the broader Christian teachings of focusing on spiritual purity and righteousness.
Reflecting on Adeboye’s revised message, Godonu highlighted that the earlier belief about tithing was inconsistent with Catholic doctrine.
He stated, Pastor Adeboye’s decision to recant his message from three years ago, where he suggested that those who do not pay tithes cannot enter heaven, is a positive step.
It shows that he has embraced the light and truth, as John 8:32 reminds us that knowing the truth sets one free.
Godonu emphasized that the Catholic Church has always taught that money is not a determinant for salvation or eternal life.
Instead, the focus is on doing the will of God, following Jesus Christ, and accepting life’s challenges with gratitude.
In the Catholic faith, believers are encouraged to carry their cross daily, recognizing that spiritual growth comes through thanksgiving and praise.
Godonu also expressed admiration for Adeboye, noting that his willingness to publicly correct himself at this stage of his life demonstrates his sincerity and commitment to truth.
He remarked that by acknowledging this, Adeboye is setting a powerful example for others, especially those in leadership, to remain humble and truthful.
The Catholic Church, Godonu said, congratulates Adeboye for embracing the truth and hopes that this moment will inspire more people to focus on the core values of faith, humility, and spiritual devotion.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
