Pastor Abel Damina Questions Church Giving Doctrine
• Blueprint • General News
Pastor Abel Damina, founder of Power City International, has stirred controversy by challenging the widely held belief that giving to the church guarantees financial prosperity. In a viral video, Damina argues that the idea of giving to become wealthy is misleading and lacks biblical support, asserting that no scripture states that giving to God will make someone rich. He highlights the financial strain that such beliefs can impose on church members, citing an example of a man who allegedly gave a car to the church and later regretted his decision due to financial hardship. Damina dismisses the notion that tithing or offering is a pathway to becoming a billionaire, stating that wealth is instead driven by education, labor, and entrepreneurship. He further explains that natural resources, such as oil and gold, are part of God's creation and that economic prosperity comes from discovering and developing knowledge and skills. Damina concludes that individuals should focus on education and work as the real drivers of financial success.
