What if everything you gave in church never went beyond the pulpit? In a sermon that stirred heated debate, Pastor Abel Damina has questioned one of Nigeria’s most entrenched church practices: tithing. His message goes beyond theology; it’s about transparency, power, and what faith means in hard times.
- Pastor Damina said, “No offering goes to heaven,” insisting offerings only serve earthly purposes.
- He challenged the idea that tithing opens divine doors, calling it manipulative teaching.
- The Akwa Ibom-based preacher has a history of pushing back on mainstream doctrine.
- He accused fellow pastors of hypocrisy, alleging they don't practise what they preach.
- His message is gaining traction online, sparking both praise and backlash.
Pastor Damina’s critique confronts the blurred lines between faith and finances in Nigeria’s church culture. He urges believers to rethink how spiritual giving is framed and who it benefits.
When church becomes commerce, the faithful are left asking where their faith and their money go.
