The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God,
RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed how God dealt with some billionaires
who questioned his accountability over their tithes.
Pastor Adeboye disclosed that four billionaires from one of
the branches of RCCG had written to him demanding to know how the ministry
spent their tithes.
Addressing his members, Pastor Adeboye disclosed that God
punished the branch as most of the members started suffering in their
businesses and their contracts were being cancelled.
He said: “The tithe that was coming from this family was
hefty. All of a sudden a handful of the big men wrote to me and said every
month, you must give us an account of how you are spending our tithe. I said
okay, ‘what they are asking for is alright, they are simply asking for
transparency. Nothing is wrong with that.
“I said, however, I have gone through the Bible, I have not
seen anywhere where God spoke to Moses and said every month, you must give an
account of the tithe children of Israel to them. So, I said alright, I will do
two things.
“Number one, I will prepare a detailed account of how your
money is spent, including if we buy a bottle of coke for first timers. I will
put it in a file and every month when you people come for the Holy Ghost
Service, that file be on the table. I won’t give it to you. I will put it on
the table.
“Anyone who wants to see it can go and read it. But make
sure you wait till I have left the room because everything that we are doing in
earth is being recorded in heaven. I don’t want my God to say you are the one
who handed it over to them and you are there when they were reading. And I did
it.
“Number two, I told the treasurer, from now on, any tithe
that came from this family, don’t add it to the rest, put it aside. Let me find
out if the God who sent me can run his church without these people’s
contributions. So, for two separate years, every kobo that came for this family
was kept in a separate account.
“It was when Aboaba came from Ibadan, I sent him there and
then after he had been in the church for some months, he came to me. He said
the people you asked me to go and join are complaining that things are not
going well, and they have found out that they offended me, and that’s why their
contracts are being cancelled and all manner of things are happening.
“I said we are not quarrelling and God knows I wasn’t
quarrelling. I just ignore it. He then said when you knew this was the problem,
why did you send me there? I said I didn’t know anything was happening. I just
want to know how gracious God can be to me. Then, we reconciled. It wasn’t
everybody that offended me.
“It was a handful of people who thought that they were
cleverer than God and they brought problems to everybody. It will interest you
to know that every one of those involved in that group is no longer in the
church and they are not where they ought to be, let me just put it like that.”
