The founder of the Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Mike Bamiloye, has hailed the decision of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye to apologize after his comment on payment of ‘tithe’.
He praised the clergyman in a recent statement where he admitted it wasn’t easy for the RCCG leader to offer the public apology.
TheNiche had earlier reported that Adeboye recanted an earlier comment and apologized for saying Christians who do not pay “tithe” are candidates of hell fire
Prior to making a U-turn, Adeboye had claimed that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
However, in trending a video that followed, the pastor called his earlier assertion a “mistake”, adding that the bible never said such..
Adeboye said, “I apologize for saying ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you might not make it to heaven.”
He added, “I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God’.”

Reacting to his decision to offer an apology after the mistake, Bamiloye said: “Daddy E.A. Adeboye made a statement and the Lord corrected him before he came out in the open to correct himself at the Lord’s instruction.
“You think it is easy for a man of such global status to come out in the open to apologise if God had not corrected him in the secret?
“It is only a person who has heaven in focus and eternity in heaven in view that would count it important to do that.
“If you like, make jest of him. If you like, drag him on the ground for doing what the Lord had instructed him to do. Baba has heaven in his focus, and that is why he doesn’t care about earthly honour or human ego.
“It takes humility for a man of global status as this to come out and apologise. Only God could have spoken to such a man.
“Because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).”
