Abel Damina Challenges Arome Osayi's Spiritual Claims

Dr. Abel Damina addressed the theological dispute surrounding Apostle Arome Osayi's assertion that Nigeria has a unique spiritual calling to lead global revival. In a video posted on September 30, 2026, Damina rejected this notion, citing Ephesians 4:4 to argue that the New Testament does not designate distinct spiritual mandates to individual nations.

He emphasized that the calling belongs to the global body of Christ. The controversy intensified after social media activist VeryDarkMan criticized Osayi's teachings, suggesting they promote reliance on prayer over practical solutions.

Damina also commented on Osayi's facial palsy, questioning the selective outrage from Osayi's supporters regarding mockery of his condition. He referenced various biblical passages to advocate for Christians to bless their persecutors rather than retaliate.

Additionally, Damina criticized a culture of sycophancy among some preachers, calling for humility and accountability in the scrutiny of teachings.
