Founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries Mike Bamiloye has defended the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye who came under criticism on Friday over his admission of wrong teachings about tithe.
Tendering his apology while delivering a message at the RCCG’s ongoing annual national youth convention at the RCCG Redemption City, Adeboye said: “…I am going to apologise for making a mistake for saying that if you don’t pay tithe, you will not be making it to Heaven. That is wrong.”
Bamiloye reacted in an Instagram post on Saturday that Adeboye’s critics ignored what he said after the apology.
The actor wrote, “My Father, Daddy E.A..Adeboye also said: ‘It is wrong to limit you to 10% at a time when some of you should be at 20%, 30%, 40%, 10% should be for beginners. You want to be the one at the top? If you are the one who would control finances, you will have to go far far beyond 10%.”
Bamiloye said he did not expect the “children of this world” to agree with Adeboye, quoting 1 Corinthians 2:14.
The dramatist referred to the biblical figure Prophet Samuel who made a mistake by looking at physical appearance when he was sent to anoint a son of Jesse as king of Israel.
He added, “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 apologize, 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 doesnt care about Earthly Honor or human ego.
“It takes humility for a man of global status as this to come out and apologize. Only God could have spoken to such man.”
