SO AT WHAT POINT DID YOU STOP COLLECTING TITHE? Many years ago, over 10 years ago. WHAT HAPPENED? I understood this message, I understood this reality, I came to my church and I told them the truth. I apologized to them for the time I was busy drumming tithing, ‘if you don’t pay tithe you will die, if you don’t pay tithe it will be tight, if you don’t pay tithe, you will have accident, because that’s the law, that’s the Old Testament. I preached all of that, but I preached it in ignorance. I didn’t know, it was what I was taught that I preached. But when I sat down and I looked at the scriptures properly, I looked at the scriptures in the light of Christ and I studied my Bible well, I discovered it was not true, I came to my church, I apologized and my church forgave me and they were willing to hear what I had to say. I began to show them scripture upon scripture, and we stopped the tithe and I began to teach my people generosity. I mean the transition period was rough; it was very rough because the people didn’t know what to do again. So I had to take time and teach, but over the years they have understood the truth of the gospel. Now our people give far, far more than they used to give when they were giving under the yoke of tithing and they gave joyfully and they are happier and they love me more because I was honest with them and I told them the truth. THERE ARE TWO other doctrinal teachings of yours that have also been seriously criticized. One is on water baptism, the other one is on Holy Communion. Talk to us about these? Well, you know the thing is, ministers need to really calm down and look at the Bible very well; really, really calm down. In fact, I recommend that we need to go to proper Bible schools and beyond Bible school, ministers need to spend enough time to study the Bible well so that we don’t mislead people, we don’t make people run the race that they are not supposed to run. Water baptism was initiated by John, that’s why he’s called John the Baptist because he is the founder of water baptism, so there are questions we need to ask, why was John baptizing people? In John chapter one from verse twenty-seven to thirty-two, John said the one who sent me to baptize, he said upon whom you shall see the spirit descending like a dove, he said for this purpose am I come, baptizing with water that I may show forth Jesus to Israel; he said I was with him but I knew him not. Which means water baptism was given to John the Baptist to use in identifying the Christ. Jesus and John were cousins but John didn’t know that Jesus was Jesus, it was water baptism that identified it, then John said I indeed, I John, I baptize with water, but the mightier than I when he comes he will not use water, he will use holy spirit, which means my water is symbolic of holy spirit, which the mightier than I will use, but I will use water to identify him, once he shows up I will decrease, he will increase. Which means the aim for water baptism was to identify Jesus. Once Jesus was identified in water baptism, that was the end of it. That is why in Acts chapter one verse five, when Jesus was talking, he said you shall be baptized with the spirit not many days hence. So John the Baptist already put a disclaimer on water baptism. He said, I John, I use water but Jesus will not use water, he will use spirit, which means, what water was to John, is what the spirit is to Jesus. Remember, Ephesians chapter four verse five, brother Paul speaking doctrinally said, one faith, one spirit, one baptism. So a child of God is supposed to have one baptism, so if there is water baptism, and there is spirit baptism, and you are supposed to have one baptism, which baptism should a Christian have? Spirit baptism. So spirit baptism cancels water baptism because water baptism is symbolic of spirit baptism. So which one cancelled Holy Communion, When Christ even said ‘do this in remembrance of me?’ Holy Communion is a whole different one, so let’s conclude water baptism then we can go to Holy Communion. Again, let me interject. All that I am doing here in this interview is not exhaustive and you know doctrinal matters require thoroughness, they require a lot of exegesis. So this does not substitute the place of exegesis, these are just teasers we are giving. But people need to go and study and we have materials on all of these subjects, in-depth teachings with scriptures, explaining itself. So water baptism does not make you a believer, and lack of water baptism does not make you an unbeliever. The thief on the cross, if water baptism was that key to salvation, Jesus would have asked the thief on the cross to go down and be baptized with water first, but Jesus said to him, ‘today you will be with me in paradise.’ God doesn’t have double standards, which means all a man requires to be in heaven is faith in Christ, water baptism not required. Now, I said that to move to your next point, what about Holy Communion? If you read the Bible very well, Genesis to Revelation, there is nothing like Holy Communion in the entire Bible, it’s not anywhere. Breaking of bread is there. That word, Holy Communion is not in the Bible. Breaking of bread is not Holy Communion, Holy Communion is not breaking of bread, there is also supper; the Lord’s Supper is not Holy Communion and the Lord’s supper is not breaking of bread, so what is Holy Communion? Holy Communion is a coinage of the Catholic Church. It is taken from the word Passover, what we have in the Bible is the Passover, one of the seven feasts that Moses instituted for the Jews to point to Jesus. There is the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of Pentecost, the feast of the Passover. These were feasts that Israel were celebrating and Moses used it to point to what Jesus will do so that Israel will have it in their mind that Jesus was going to come and he was going to come for this purpose. But feasts were used as metaphor to communicate that reality. The full teaching on it is called discerning the Lord’s body. For the purpose of this, anybody who writes to our office, we will send a teaching for free so the person can go and listen carefully and study. The Passover was on before Jesus came; which means it was not introduced by Jesus. The Passover was a feast introduced by Moses that is part of Moses’ teaching ministry to the Jews, communicating the reality of Christ. In the Passover, there were four cups and those four cups were symbolic of restoration, deliverance, you know, I’ve forgotten the other two. But there were four cups, then, there were spices. Then, it was a whole feast, there was unleavened bread, that is bread that doesn’t have yeast, and because it was the law, it must be strictly observed and all of those were symbolic of what Christ will do and they continued that practice right into Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Again, remember I did a background, that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not New Testament; they are books of the law with new testament promises. That is why it continued but when Jesus was taking it with the disciples, he said to them, ‘I will no more do this with you people, until that day in my father’s kingdom, until that day in my father’s kingdom. You ask why did he say do this in remembrance. We need to understand that the word remembrance is not memorial, it’s not English. It’s Bible language. Remembrance there means ‘with the understanding of me.’ That is, when you are doing this, the understanding should be me, that is this is a pointer to me, now, if it is remembrance as memorial. You only do memorial service for the dead, you don’t do memorial for the living. Is Jesus dead or alive? He’s alive. #unveilingchristministry #PureFaith #AbelDamina #nigeria #usa #facebookviral #followerseveryone #bibleverse #explore

Many people misunderstand what Dr. Abel Damina means when he says, “Jesus was not born by Mary.” It may sound controversial at first, but the explanation is doctrinal, not biological. Dr. Damina is not denying that Mary physically carried and delivered Jesus as a baby. Instead, he is explaining that Mary did not originate Jesus, nor did she supply the human body of Christ. According to scripture, God Himself prepared the body, and Mary simply carried it. In essence, Mary served as a surrogate mother, a chosen vessel who hosted the manifestation of God’s Word in human form. This truth becomes undeniable when we examine the scriptures. In Hebrews 10:5, Jesus says, “A body hast Thou prepared Me.” Notice carefully. He did not say a body “Mary created for Me,” or a body “from Mary.” The body was prepared by God, not produced by human biology. Mary did not contribute seed or genetic origin. She simply carried the body God Himself formed by His Word and implanted in her by the Holy Spirit. This is why the conception bypassed human reproduction entirely. Luke 1:34–35 shows Mary asking, “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” Her virginity proves the body Jesus had did not come from human lineage but from divine preparation. This reveals a profound truth: Mary did not produce Jesus, she only carried Him. She was the vessel, not the source. She was the channel, not the creator. She was the womb, not the giver of life. This is exactly why Dr. Damina teaches that Mary was more like a surrogate mother, a carrier of the Word made flesh. Scripture reinforces this again in 1 Timothy 3:16: “And God was manifest in the flesh.” It does not say God was “created in the flesh” or “born into existence.” It says manifest, meaning something that already existed was made visible. The birth of Jesus was not the beginning of God; it was the unveiling of God in a body He Himself prepared. The appearance of Jesus on earth was a manifestation of the eternal Word, not the biological beginning of a new person. John 1:1 and 1:14 make this even clearer: the Word was God from the beginning, and that same eternal Word “became flesh.” The Person called Jesus existed long before Mary. He did not originate from her; He only passed through her. Galatians 4:4 says God “sent forth” His Son, meaning Jesus already existed, before being “made of a woman” (not made by a woman). So, why did Dr. Damina teach this so strongly? To correct religious misunderstandings that make it seem like Mary produced or originated Jesus, or that Jesus began in Bethlehem. According to revelation knowledge, the incarnation is not a human producing divinity, it is divinity clothing Himself in a body prepared by God, and that body simply passed through Mary. #PureFaith #unveilingchristministry #gospeltruth #AbelDamina #pastors #church #God #jesus #usa #canada #nigeria #bibleverse #trendingpost #facebookviral Abel Damina

GOD saw that man cannot be righteous or perfect on his own effort, therefore he sent Jesus Christ to come and die thereby bearing the imperfections of man. Hence, Christ died for the sins of man However , the death of Jesus Christ cancels every other form of sins and make man friends with God through Christ. Any man who receives Christ and believe in him cannot go to hell fire. But disbelieving in the finished work of Christ is what disqualifies man from entering into heaven. John chapter 3 verse 16, God does not rely on man's righteousness to save man. , that was why he sent his son to die so that man's sins should be forgiven. "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE." (John 3:16) "No other sin can take a man to hell fire, except the sin of unbelieve. The sin of unbelieve is when a man refuses to accept Christ. Jesus is the way to the Father. So accepting and believing in Jesus means being in peace with the Father." IF man must enter heaven through his personal human effort of being HOLY and RIGHTEOUS, it therefore means that the death of Christ was in vain. "God’s Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9)." NO HUMAN EFFORT IS CAPABLE OF MAKING HIMSELF RIGHTEOUS. BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MAN THROUGH BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS GRANTS HIM ETERNAL LIFE. #PureFaith #unveilingchristministry #transformed #mind #facebookviral #bibleverse #AbelDamina #nigeria #God #canada #usa #uk

Dr. Abel Damina's preaching has had a profound impact on many individuals, including my self, Nehemiah Gabriel (Wanai) . As a young Catholic man who already believed in God's existence, i found myself confused by various preachers until i encountered one of Joseph's prince books name Destined to reign and that was the turn around of my faith in Christ and I later encountered Dr. Damina's teachings on Facebook. His approach to Christianity and biblical interpretation provided clarity and strengthened me in faith. Dr. Damina is known for challenging conventional Christian teachings, particularly those associated with prosperity preaching. He emphasizes a Christ-centered message that focuses on salvation and the transformative power of the Bible, rather than material wealth or prosperity as a sign of divine favor. This shift in focus can be particularly enlightening for believers who feel disillusioned by the prosperity gospel's promises. One of the key aspects of Dr. Damina's teachings is his emphasis on understanding the true character of God. For instance, he has made statements such as "God does not live in Heaven," which he supports with scriptural evidence to encourage believers to rethink traditional views and deepen their understanding of God. This approach can help believers like you and i find a more personal and meaningful connection with our faith. Moreover, Dr. Damina's teachings often address the misconceptions and errors within certain Christian doctrines, providing a fresh perspective that resonates with many who seek a more authentic and scripturally grounded faith. His ability to articulate complex theological concepts in an accessible manner makes his sermons appealing to those who are searching for clarity and truth in their spiritual journey. In summary, Dr. Abel Damina's preaching has helped me, Nehemiah Gabriel (Wanai), by offering a clear and Christ-centered understanding of Christianity. His teachings challenge traditional doctrines and focus on the transformative power of the Bible, providing a path to a more profound and personal faith experience. #PureFaith #JosephPrince #abeldamina #NehemiahGabriel

QUESTION; I still do not understand Jesus’ saying: “in my father's house are many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you that where I am, there you will be also”. Dr. ABEL DAMINA:- Remember...that statement was pre resurrection, when he said to them, “let not your heart be troubled”, you believe in God, believe also in me...the only way you can see God is through me. In verse 2 he says…”in my father's house are many mansions”...He was not talking about a building but “the household of the father” which is the believer. The word mansions is the Greek word “monē”, meaning dwelling places. So, in the Father's household are many dwelling places...we are the dwelling places in God's Household and all of us together make up the Father’s Household. Then he now says I go, and when I go, I will come...so Jesus’ going was to come into us. Let me explain further...when Jesus first came, He came for us(incarnation), when he died and rose, in his resurrection, He came into us. The next coming which we refer mostly to as the Second coming but technically is the third, will be his coming with us or our appearing with him. In the First Coming, he came for us,in the second coming, he came into us, in the third coming, we are coming with him. Colossians 3:4...when Christ who is our life shall appear, we shall appear with him. In Romans it is called, the manifestation of the sons of God, the unveiling of our true colour, where mortality will give way to immortality...we shall be changed in a moment and our true identity will be manifested. John 14:2,3…So, “Jesus’ going was to prepare to receive us….that where he is, there we will be also. It's called an inseparable union. Then he now says, I will come again and receive you to myself. So, the believer and Jesus are in an inseparable union. What Jesus was saying was, in my death burial and resurrection, you and i will be brought into a union, a union that cannot be separated, that where i am, there you will be also...so that what I have, you have, what I can do, you can also do. #christian #AbelDamina #believer #TruthExposed

Many people quote Philippians 1:6 without understanding what Paul was really teaching. The verse says: “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Many believers use this scripture as a motivational statement for finishing projects, building houses, completing business plans, or achieving personal dreams. But when studied in context, and especially from the lens of Dr. Abel Damina’s Christocentric teaching. Paul was not referring to material achievements at all. The “good work” Paul refers to is salvation, not earthly success. In Philippians 1:5, Paul was talking about their partnership in the gospel. Therefore, the “good work” is the work God began in them the day they believed: He saved them, sanctified them, sealed them with the Holy Spirit, and placed them in Christ. Salvation is the divine work God started in every believer, not the building of houses, the success of a business, or the completion of personal ambitions. Paul also makes it clear that this work continues “until the day of Jesus Christ,” which is not a deadline for earthly goals but the final moment of glorification at Christ’s appearing. That “day” is the resurrection, the redemption of the body. Scripture explains this in several places. Romans 8:23 says we are “waiting for the redemption of our body.” In 1 Corinthians 15:52–53, Paul describes the moment when “this mortal shall put on immortality.” And 1 John 3:2 says that when Christ appears, “we shall be like Him.” This is the completion of the good work, a glorified, immortal, resurrected body. This verse cannot be referring to material projects or earthly goals. If it did, then unbelievers who complete their projects would contradict the scripture. Many believers die without finishing every goal, yet their salvation remains intact. Paul did not shift from the message of Christ to a motivational seminar about personal achievements. His focus was purely on the eternal work God performs in the believer. The “good work” is what Jesus began in you at salvation. The continuation is the Spirit’s ongoing work in your growth. The completion is the resurrection of your body when Jesus appears. This verse has nothing to do with completing businesses, houses, dreams, or earthly ambitions. Paul’s message is assurance: the salvation God began in you is irreversible, unshakable, and guaranteed to be perfected in glory. Philippians 1:6 is not a motivational line for material success, it is a powerful declaration of the believer’s eternal security in Christ. #TruthExposed #Christ #AbelDamina #bibletruth #savedbygrace #pastors #God #church #canada #nigeria #trendingpost #facebookreelsviral Abel Damina

Who Really Appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush? Moses assumed he was talking to God, but the New Testament gives us clarity. In Acts 7:30 and 7:35, Stephen explains that the one who appeared in the bush was an angel, not God Himself. This matters because it reshapes how we read many Old Testament encounters. Dr. Abel Damina teaches a vital truth many Christians overlook: Everything in the Bible is truly recorded, but not everything recorded is a revelation of God’s character. God inspired the writing of Scripture The stories, conversations, actions, and events were accurately documented. But God did not inspire every action done or statement made by the people in those stories. Some things people assumed or said were based on limited understanding, fear, tradition, or shadows, not the full revelation of Christ. The burning bush account is a perfect example: Moses believed it was God speaking to him. But the New Testament, which holds the interpretation of the Old, tells us it was an angel. This is not a contradiction, it’s clarification. The Bible is a Christocentric book. The Old Testament contains: Shadows and symbols Human assumptions about God Angelic appearances often mistaken for God Progressive revelation leading to Christ. The New Testament brings light, explanation, and correction to Old Testament perceptions. Interpret the Old Testament through Christ and the Apostles. If the New Testament explains or corrects something—that is the accurate interpretation. Don’t attribute to God what He didn’t do or say. Just because it’s documented doesn’t mean God authored the action. God’s true nature is revealed in Christ (Hebrews 1:1–3, John 1:18). If it doesn’t look like Jesus, it’s not God’s character—no matter who claimed it in the Old Testament. Angels often acted or spoke on behalf of God under the Old Covenant. That’s why clarity must come from the New Testament. My final Takeaway: The burning bush wasn’t God in physical manifestation. It was an angel delivering a message within the limits of the Old Covenant. The New Testament shines light on that event to help us separate: What God truly did from What people thought He did. This approach safeguards us from building doctrines on assumptions and aligns us with the revelation of Christ—the true image of God. #AbelDamina #grace #bibleverse #Godisgood #nigeria #canada #followerseveryone #highlightseveryonefollowers #everyonefollowers #facebookviral #hilights Abel Damina

WHERE ARE THE FOOLISH GALATIANS OF OUR DAYS??? You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. #followerseveryone #everyonefollowers #facebookviral #grace #bibleverse #AbelDamina #Godisgood #nigeria #usa #uk

THE WORD BECAME MAN 🤗💕 JOHN 1: 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth 🙏 (KJV) - Jesus pre-existed as the word 📚. Before he manifested as a man on earth, there was no human being on earth or heaven called Jesus 🤔. The only time the word became flesh was when he manifested through the Virgin Mary 🤰. This means that there was no man called Jesus in heaven or on earth before his manifestation 🙅‍♂️. He existed in heaven or the Spirit as the Word 💫. Jesus never appeared on earth anywhere as a man 🤷‍♂️. From our opening text, we see when the word became flesh or man 🙏. As it is written in Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel 🤰." The activities of Jesus were seen and communicated by the prophets in the Old Testament 📚 but he never manifested as a human being or flesh 🙅‍♂️. This occasion of Christmas 🎄 celebrated by many people across the world as the adopted date to celebrate the birth of Jesus should remind us of the miracle 🤩 of the word taking the form of man and coming to dwell on the earth 🌎. This word was with God 🤝 and this word was God 💖. Therefore, Christ on earth is the manifestation of God in the flesh on earth 🙏. As it is written in Psalm 2:7, "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee 🤴." And in Micah 5:2, "But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting 🌟." Philippians 2:5-7 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men 🙏. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory #grace #nigeria #USA #uk #PureFaith #AbelDamina #bibleinspiration
