For the first time in my life, I have seen a pastor that is logical in thinking and speaking the gospel truth. The senior pastor of Power City International, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Abel Damina, has told Christians that giving money to churches for any purpose does not guarantee wealth from heaven.

In his words:

Christians who give money and other valuables to churches and men of God and in turn expect to become rich were only living in fantasy because, “God does not multiply your money.” The cleric also called out pastors who exchange money for God’s blessing, describing them as fraud.

Asking people to pay money for God’s blessings sounds like buying goods in a supermarket. “What multiplies your money is work,” in a post he shared on Facebook at the weekend. “Giving in the church does not bring additional money to you. What brings additional money to you is work.

“You don’t pray and fast to get money. What produces money is work. It’s called industry. “He that does not work should not eat. You don’t faith work; you work (the) work. “Why do we give in church? We give because we are blessed? We don’t give to be blessed. It is part of the goodness of God that kept you healthy.

“It is part of the goodness of God that woke you up in the morning. It is part of the goodness of God that took you to work and brought you back…. But now you must engage yourself in work. “There’s no future for lazy Christians because hunger will take you away.

“Somebody ask, ‘does God perform financial miracle’? Yes, he connects you to opportunities. But even if you see the opportunity you must do something. He connects you to ideas. He brings you before people that are willing to help. He brings you into favour with people that want to invest.

“Some say but Papa you used to say ‘receive money miracle’? Yes, you can receive money miracle. God can move somebody to bless you. God can touch somebody to buy a car for you, but who will fuel it? “It’s one thing to have a car; it’s another thing to buy fuel”

“He (God) didn’t supply you grace expecting anything in return. So, when a man of God says give money to be blessed it is an insult to the work of redemption. “It’s an insult. It’s an insult. It’s an insult.

“Psalm 91! $91 for 91 blessings! It’s an insult to the work of grace. Psalm 91! $91 for 91 blessings! It’s fraud! If you could give $91 and that would appease the anger of God, Jesus wouldn’t (have) died. “I can feel that some people are very angry right now because I say Psalm 91for $91 blessings is fraud! “After you finish getting angry, I repeat: it’s a fraud.”

“Not to sound like I am boasting, the greatest portion of my income goes back to the work of God. I can’t be a giver to that extent and preach against giving. “Even Jesus used a whip to stop merchandise (in the house of God).”

Modern day Christians thinks otherwise sir . They think of God like a money doubler who you give 1000 and receive 10000.

Little wonder the gospel of sowing seeds, first fruit and tithe is selling more than the message of Jesus Christ

Blind followers over to you.... Attack him from all side

Only a few know the truth....

The half-baked Christian will insult him

My church is the only Church on earth that offering baskets or plates are not passed around. Tithes and offerings are given voluntarily and they are paid ONLINE USING DEBIT/ CREDIT CARDS or via SHORT SMS CODE. All payments are anonymous and it does not matter what you give because nobody knows.

GOD BLESS HEARTLAND CHURCH.

I reserve my comment...

BTW...Check my Signature.

Some morons would quickly come out and point that The Bishop in Living Faith is a testament of how seed sowing works wonders. The Nigerian xtian is the most biblically uneducated and gullible among the Christiandom.
We believe in sharp sharp miracles and all that.
Even Paul the apostle harped on the importance of hard work. If you like sow seed and dont do the needful, God cannot be mocked, he would bless those who work hard for "the lord sends rain to both the just and the wicked" (sic)

some Pastors wl nt like dis

That awkward moment when you're reading this comment to find an awkward moment but there isn't any, and still you're reading this comment and you're starting to realise it says nothing important and you just wasted a couple of seconds of your life but you're still reading and you don't even know why. That's awkward... You should give me a like for wasting your time.

God will bless your hand work not double your money like bet9ja..Lol

[color=#006600][/color]God understand

This man wan spoil market...

Some Pastors will always mess with the mind of their congregations

Your being spiritual does mean you have to suspend your brain

that's ma pastor.

Many false prophet shall rise and say things that pleasing to men.

Tell them the hard truth. Turn 50% of the present church buildings to industries and you will have less crime to deal with.

I think I know this man before when he was the senior pastor then under winners in bayelsa

what is faith without work

Interesting

Some sound as if God is a money doubler

Give God 500k, he gives you 5m in return.

Whereas only the blessings of God maketh rich without any sorrow.

Bill gate is the richest on earth, not sure he pays any pastor money, but is contribution to humanity is responsible for the increase in his wealth.
Dangote too doesn't do much, yet he makes billions

Only God can bless and the criteria for blessings is known to only him

I Like his teachings.. Little wonder churches invite him to speak during leadership seminar.

And if u sow with your last card... I trust your pastor... private jet loading... that is to say Maga don pay.

Bad market for money making pastors
But I'm still bothered about how people give pastors their money for this reason, or prolly cause I'm Muslim is why I'm thinking this way
