Apostle Dr. Abel Damina

“What Nigerians need from these men of God, is to preach righteousness and truth. Tell political leaders the truth and reject ill gotten wealth from them as gifts or tithes. As the year begin, I do hope, that church leaders will focus more in building spiritual empires than material empires and business centres”

By Mark Orgu

I watched a short video clip of a controversial preacher,  Apostle Abel Damina, in the social media when he  said  : “If the Catholic Church encourages their members to read the Bible nobody would be there now. They know if their people read the Bible carefully, all what they are doing will be exposed. So they make sure they discourage them from reading. Only what the Father says is final,”  ”some would say Damina is attacking Catholic churches; it’s not an attack; I am exposing Catholic churches.”

Dr. Damina, a senior Pastor, Power City International  also described the Holy Communion as ”stupid” when he said, ”when they give you that stupid round white thing, they say that is Christ.”

In his absence of lack of knowledge and lost of spiritual  conscience  of intellectual reasoning, he failed to acknowledge John 6:53 when Jesus told his disciples:  “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. And them, he charged them to do it in memory of him.”

Again, Apostle Damina says, that Catholic churches should be freed from ”false doctrines” because if they do not free themselves, they’re on their way to hell.  This was the same pastor who attached pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Chuch of Christ, RCCG, and others. Anyway, like the scripture puts it, Mathew 7:15-20.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

We recall the rebellious attacks by the immortal Martin Luther King Jr against the church of God, which I will dwell more in my next commentary, how in 1520, Pope Leo X demanded that he renounce all of his wrong teachings and writings, but he refused in his conviction. Unfortunately, in January, 1521, Luther was excommunicated.

Luther later years regretted his attacks against the church, which I strongly believe Apostle Damina will not be different, but before them, it would be too late.

While Nigerians were expecting him to roll out his prophesies as his colleagues do yearly, he is more interested as an opposition pastor without a political party. Maybe, he should float one, and am sure he will get fellow pastors as members.

While many believers are expecting him to preach Christian unity as enshrined in Mathew 17: 21 when Jesus prayed:  “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you’ May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

It is very unfortunate that Apostle Damina has chosen  divisive and uncharitable sermon of mocking Christianity from very heretic sermons.  Apostle Damina failed to realize that he is a baby pastor compare to any just ordained catholic priest who spent nearly ten years in studies. It would be good if the Apostle stop most of his divisive sermon that has caused more damage to his identity and to his family and his congregation. 

The new year is here, he should join in sincerity to pray for Nigeria and its badly leaders, that seems like the unrepentant elements enjoying like the rich man in the holy scripture  as narrated in Luke 12:19-21, when God demanded for his life.

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?

Nigeria is in dire need of redemption and help, and so, it behooves on all to work in synergy to quench the so call demons making Nigeria remaining retrogressive. Now, The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, speaking during the church’s interdenominational crossover and prosperity night at Prayer City, Lagos-Ibadan Motorway in his 2025 prophesies warned  promiscuous men, cautioning them to turn away from adultery as agents of the marine kingdom have been dispatched in the form of ladies to ensnare their souls. Reechoing the need for spiritual vigilance, while urging believers worldwide to pray for their “spiritual eyes” to be opened and to connect to God’s power through targeted prayers. 

“The ultimate solution to live year 2025 successfully is to connect to God’s power; you must know God personally and intimately this year and ensure your ‘spiritual eyes’ are open to see things from God’s perspective, the way God is seeing it,”

“You must have God’s power to conquer strong enemies this year because the only thing enemies respect is God’s power.” It is also a year of tragedy for men, married men who like going around with strange women. The marine world has injected into our midst women who are not women, who are from another world. If you are a man and fond of going all over the place, you may just disappear. So you have to be very careful.”

The last part of his prophesy is what I cherish most, “There is greater hope for Nigeria and nations of the world in this new era because God will raise transformative leaders all over the world.” This is what I call statesman prophesy, because the world itself is in total confusion but needs redemption ..

Another prophesy that gave hope is from the Ace Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder of Living Faith Church worldwide at the crossover night in Canaan land, Ogun State,   declaring that 2025 will open a new era for believers, stressing however days of murmuring and lamentation are over.

“By the signal of the Holy Ghost, 2025 shall be your year of new beginning. Your year of new dawn, great chapters opening to your lives.

“Welcome to 2025, a new era. You will be wondering “have I been a Christian all along?” Amazing things shall start taking place in your lives. You are moving to your new realm in all areas of your lives, new era in your health, family, your spiritual life and in your business and career. It will never be like before anymore. Your days of murmuring and complaining are over. Your days of biting your fingers are over”.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, also centred on hope that  2025 will be “a landmark year”.

“Daddy said the year 2025 will be a landmark year. A year nobody would ever forget. The day someone has been waiting for will arrive this year.The wind that started blowing last year will continue to blow this year, but stronger.

“Earthly helpers would be replaced by heavenly helpers this year. Mockers would be louder and more aggressive, but unfortunately, many of them will not survive the year.

“It’s unfortunate because God did not want the death of a sinner, but to repent. But some people have made up their mind not to repent.“Daddy says some towns and villages would shout victory at last.”

Prophet Joshua Iginla of the Champion Royal Assembl’s prophesy was a warning to political leaders, pin pointing that if  President Tinubu did pay attention to his health, there might emergence. This even as foresee strong forces and resistence against Senate President Akpabio, and Chief Wike, Minister of FCT.

The cleric said: “President Tinubu must pay attention to his health and give himself much rest so that the enemy does not take that as a way of giving him a strong blow because I saw a medical emergency and we don’t pray that that should happen.

“We pray against it, but that’s what I saw. That is very, very important that he should take care of his health And there is going to be a lot of gang up against him strongly, very strongly.

“And the drama will unfold this year like never before, and there will be strong betrayal.

“For the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, he is going to have a lot of strong resistance from the strong Northern powers. They want to move a vote of no confidence or impeachment process against him. Like I saw clearly too. He has to play good politics with the Northern brothers.

“They are, like I said to the President, there’s Gang up. He must work in a peaceful strategy with the Northern elite to make sure that promises that are made in the secret should be honoured openly. As it is, is still going to cause more problems in the Senate.

“Talking about the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, you know the Senate has seen the wish of the Northern Senators and Governor will gang against him in the past year, 2024, is still what he is going to witness. Even more than that, the tax reform bill one of the crux of the matter and more of the things that I don’t want to mention publicly are part of the things that are there.

“I want to say that the government of the day should not play with the North in terms of trampling on their views. We should find a common ground for peaceful resolution. It’s very important. There should be no issue of fight back, an issue of I think I have the power, I can do many things. If not, there can be many surprises politically.

“As for the FCT minister, he should pray concerning his health and he will do more projects and turn the city around, he will step on many toes, he will bring a lot of reformation to FCT, but he has to pray for his health. It’s only the living that can actually have a political mandate and move forward.”

There are so many prophesies that I cannot capture but the facts remain that, Nigerians know better, which one of the them to believe, they know political prophesy, business prophesy and proposal prophesy.

What Nigerians need from these men of God, is to preach righteousness and truth. Tell political leaders the truth and reject ill gotten wealth from them as gifts or tithes. As the year begin, I do hope, that church leaders will focus more in building spiritual empires than material empires and business centres”. And so, let us watch and pray and beware of fake prophets as Jesus warned.
