Pastor Adeboye Apologizes for Claiming Tithe Payment is Essential for Heaven
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church, has issued an apology for his previous statement suggesting that Christians who do not pay tithes might not enter heaven.
In a recent address to his congregation, Adeboye described his earlier claim as a “mistake,” clarifying that the Bible does not support this assertion.
He emphasized that the true prerequisites for making it to heaven are peaceful and holy living.
“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,” he stated, adding that the Bible teaches followers to pursue peace and holiness to see God.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
