Pastor Adeboye Calls for Peace Over Tithing Dispute
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged Christians to refrain from engaging in disputes with God, particularly on the subject of tithing.
During the October edition of the RCCG Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye addressed the ongoing debate surrounding tithe payments, calling for an end to the arguments.
In his message to the congregation, Pastor Adeboye passionately appealed to believers, stating, “I’m pleading with everyone around the world, let’s bring this argument about tithing to a close.”
He emphasized that Christians should respect the guidance of their pastors on the matter, whether or not they support the practice of tithing.
The respected clergyman noted that if a pastor instructs their congregation not to pay tithes and instead encourages offerings, Christians should follow that directive and not leave the church in protest.
“If your pastor prefers offerings and not tithes, don’t abandon the church. Give offerings as instructed,” he said.
However, Pastor Adeboye also acknowledged that there are those who feel a deep, personal conviction to tithe. He advised such individuals to seek out churches where tithes are accepted and used for the glory of God.
“If you believe in your heart that you should give God at least 10 percent of your income, find a church where the pastor accepts tithes and will use them for God’s work,” he added.
This way, he explained, believers can avoid conflicts both with their pastors and with God.
The advice from Pastor Adeboye underscores the importance of maintaining harmony within the church and honoring individual convictions without sparking unnecessary disputes.
He encouraged Christians to prioritize their relationship with God and ensure that their actions align with their faith, whether through offerings or tithes, depending on their pastor’s preference.
Ultimately, the message serves as a reminder that the focus should not be on the division of opinion but rather on worshipping and serving God in a way that brings peace and unity within the body of Christ.
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.
