A viral video showing the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, telling his congregation that anyone who is not paying his tithe will not make heaven is courting controversy on the internet.

Speaking to the pastors in the congregation, Adeboye said he had an instruction for them.

He asked that they return to their congregations and tell them, “Anyone who does not pay his/her tithe is not going to heaven, full stop.”

He said,

“Im going to give every one of you pastors an opportunity to repent tonight.

“And then to go back immediately after this convention and restitue your ways with your congregation

“Make it clear to them anyone who is not paying his tithe is not going heaven, full stop.“
