"Abel Damina is a preacher I have never liked due to the radical nature of his teachings. It had always been about one message: ‘Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, shaken, press down, and running over shall men give unto your bosom.’ He also had this tactics of making anyone who was doing well a Pastor, just to ground them.
Sometime around 1997, in one of his righteous invasion of truth (RIOT) messages, he called out Deeper Life for preaching holiness messages only and for telling their members not to be too rich. I recall him praying in the name of the Lord that all their riches should come to his church, and his members screamed a loud Amen.
My dislike for him grew even deeper until I met a lady who introduced me to Full Life in 2007. I told her how I never liked Damina, but she repeatedly warned that if we must be friends (you know), I must like Damina because he was her Papa’s spiritual father.
To confirm this, I have witnessed Damina step into Noah’s Ark on two occasions uninvited, and immediately, walk straight to the altar to preach a new message from what the Pastor was already preaching.
Let’s talk about the transactional gospel. I am aware of how Pastors across nations used to lobby this same Damina to come raise seeds in their churches. According to them, the narrative was that if you must prosper in ministry financially, you have to sow a wicked seed to Damina to receive his impartation.
I won’t join words with people who are against him today, but I ask: If Damina were still preaching the transactional gospel, would you attack him? Another question: If Damina was not preaching new creation realities and the finished work of Christ on the cross instead of the junk preached today, would you attack him?
I guess not. You see, it is very typical that anywhere light springs up, darkness must fight back, so I’m not surprised if he is experiencing attacks today for calling out false doctrines, and doing so fearlessly. And as for his arrogance, he has always been like that—if he used it to preach the other gospel, what makes you think he wouldn’t display the same arrogance with his new realities?
I may not still like Damina, but one thing I know is that we need more Daminas, and there’s no gentleman about this one: The kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent must take it by force."
