Abel Damina Critiques Arome Osayi's Tithing Views Online

An old video featuring Dr. Abel Damina has gained renewed attention online as of September 29, 2026, amidst a controversy involving Apostle Arome Osayi and social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM). In the clip, Dr. Damina challenges Osayi's assertion that tithing will continue in the afterlife, questioning what occupation believers would hold in heaven to generate income for tithing.

Dr. Damina, founder of Abel Damina Ministries International, argues that mandatory tithing is an Old Testament requirement with no authority under the New Covenant, advocating for voluntary and Spirit-led giving. Conversely, Apostle Arome Osayi, who leads the Remnant Christian Network, maintains that the principle of honour associated with tithing predates the Mosaic law and continues because believers are under Christ's lordship in eternity.

The timing of the video's resurgence coincides with VDM's public challenge to Osayi's claim regarding Nigeria's national destiny being rooted in spiritual revival rather than technological progress, sparking broader discussions about prosperity theology and scriptural interpretation in Nigerian Pentecostalism.
