He already said he isn't like other preachers...

Comparing to Jesus is absurd.

He has right to take legal actions if he is being misquoted out of context.

I don't like his ways but he can do that!

No, he can't do it his own way. He must be guided by the word of God.

A bunch of imbe_ciles who once believed the world would end 100 years after 1914, only to conveniently adjust(without so much as a question) to believing the date no longer mattered after reality hit them back in 2014. Are those you believe are Christ-like? Kai! Religion is a bloody bastard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Being faithless doesn't make you wise o!

The same thing happened to Jesus' first century disciples, they actually thought the world would end in the first century.

So if you don't believe Jesus or his disciples how much Jehovah's Witnesses who are their modern day counterpart?

Honestly, I don't think this Damina of a man has a job.

Kobojunkie:
Are the other pastors lying with their mouths that they follow this Jesus when their every actions reveal otherwise any better than this one? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

All of them are business men and not pastos. Them just dey use sakamanje

saphiere:
Dr. Abel Damina, the Founder and President of Abel Damina Ministries International has reacted to a clip of his colleague, Pastor David Ibiyeomie that has recently went viral. The clip showed the moment Ibiyeeomie told his congregation that he will arrest anyone who criticizes him or his church.

Dr. Abel, in a video clip circulating online made it clear that Jesus Christ and his disciples never arrested anyone. He said that he doubted if Pastor Ibiyeeomie was a true man of God. The clergy further stated that he will criticize any pastor who preaches nonsense and post on social media.

It is like this Damina relevance only comes from mentioning others who don't send him or what he is up up.

I am yet to yet see a video where he is doing anything else but mentioning others ...he must be operating a well paid team that scans the net for such topics

arantess:

On the contrary, Jesus asked Peter to sheath his sword.

Good luck to him proving where Jesus asked His children to arrest persecutors.

You almost gave him a link

Thundafireseun:
Did you forget that Jesus Christ beat up some people at the synagogue??

It shows that even Jesus doesn’t tolerate nansense

For starters I have no dog in this fight- im not - Christian.

Secondly, I only reacted based on the ascension that a so called man of “God” can not held to the utmost standard.

Thirdly, this just shows that people just twist Christianity to suite whatever they want.

Lastly, Jesus did not beat anyone anywhere, do not lie on him, he only strongly stood against corruption by chasing away the money changers with a wipe.

Pastor Damian is right

Correcting the Misleading Criticisms by Dr. Abel Damina: A Call for Spiritual Maturity and Kingdom Focus

In recent times, there has been a disturbing trend echoing across social media, where certain ministers of the gospel, particularly Dr. Abel Damina, have consistently criticized other men of God in the name of “doctrinal correction.” These criticisms often lack the grace, maturity, and spiritual discernment expected of ministers who are supposed to be heōs—mature sons of God, entrusted with the mysteries of the kingdom. This behavior has caused confusion among believers, disillusioned seekers, and has inadvertently sown seeds of doubt, rather than building the body of Christ in love and truth.

1. Spiritual Maturity Is Not Measured by Popularity or Eloquence

Spiritual maturity is not about how many years one has been in ministry, nor how large one’s congregation is. Neither is it about one’s theological eloquence or how many controversial statements one can make online. True spiritual maturity, as the Scriptures teach, is measured by how much of the Word of God is built up in a man, how conformed he is to the image of Christ, and how skillful he is in rightly dividing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

Mature believers are not those who tear others down but those who build others up (Ephesians 4:11-13). The ministry of correction, even when necessary, must be exercised with love, gentleness, and humility, especially when directed toward fellow laborers in the vineyard. The Bible makes it clear in Galatians 6:1 that when someone is overtaken in error, “you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.”

2. Carnal Platforms Cannot Host Spiritual Conversations

It is deeply concerning that Dr. Damina has stooped to granting interviews to secular and carnal platforms to explain deep spiritual matters to individuals who lack the capacity to understand them. The Bible clearly says in 1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Why attempt to explain eternal truths to people who have no spiritual foundation, and worse still, make mockery of divine matters? Such actions trivialize sacred doctrines and expose holy things to ridicule. This is not just unwise—it is scripturally unsound. Jesus Himself warned against casting pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6). There’s a time and place for everything. We must not attempt to validate spiritual truths in arenas that mock the very Spirit that authored them.

3. The True Gospel Work: Preaching and Propagating, Not Public Shaming

The true labor of the gospel is not in pulling others down, but in building the kingdom up. Take for example the impactful work of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, who is leading a historic global initiative to fulfill Matthew 24:14: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Under his leadership, the gospel is being translated into over 8,000 languages—a herculean effort requiring billions of dollars and unparalleled organizational vision.

This is what kingdom focus looks like. This is what spiritual maturity does. It doesn’t sit behind a microphone to criticize—it gets into the trenches and labors for souls. It doesn’t sow doubt—it spreads the Word. It doesn’t divide—it unites the body of Christ under one common goal: that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).

This is where tithes, offerings, and kingdom finances go—not into vanity, but into the global propagation of the gospel. Any criticism that fails to see or acknowledge such monumental kingdom exploits is either misinformed or motivated by pride and contention.

4. The Danger of Undermining the Faith of the Simple

Dr. Damina must understand the weight of his words. As a public teacher, his voice carries influence. When he uses that platform to tear down other ministers—many of whom have led multitudes to Christ, healed the sick, and raised the dead—he does more harm than good. He undermines faith. He creates an atmosphere of suspicion, division, and spiritual confusion.

Jesus said in Matthew 18:6, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” When a minister’s teaching casts doubt in the minds of those who were once confident in their faith, it’s no longer “correction”—it’s spiritual damage.

5. The Need to Learn from Peter and Not Fall Like Him

The Apostle Peter, in his immaturity, once spoke under the influence of Satan when he tried to dissuade Jesus from going to the cross. Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Get thee behind me, Satan!” (Matthew 16:23). This should be a lesson to all ministers: no matter how long you’ve been in the faith, you can become a mouthpiece for the enemy if your thoughts are not aligned with the purposes of God.

Dr. Damina must be cautious that in his attempt to “teach the truth,” he does not become like Peter in that moment—letting the enemy use his platform to confuse, divide, and discourage. Instead, he should allow the Holy Spirit to speak through him in love, in truth, and in unity with the wider body of Christ.

6. The Way of Correction: God’s Way, Not Carnal Psychology

Even secular psychologists will tell you that public shaming, sarcasm, and ridicule are ineffective ways to correct behavior. How much more in the Spirit? God’s corrections are firm, but always redemptive—never destructive. When Paul corrected the Corinthian church, he did it with tears, not with mockery. When Jesus corrected the churches in Revelation, He did it with the heart of restoration, not public humiliation.

True correction is a private rebuke followed by public affirmation—just as Priscilla and Aquila did with Apollos (Acts 18:26). They corrected him privately, without tearing down his credibility publicly. That’s maturity. That’s love. That’s God’s way.

In Conclusion

Dr. Abel Damina, as a man of God, is accountable for how he uses his influence. The Church of Jesus Christ is not a battleground for ego, but a field of harvest. While doctrines may vary, the core mission remains the same: win souls, build disciples, and prepare the Church for the coming of Christ. We cannot afford to waste time tearing each other down when there is a world to reach.

Instead of echoing criticism, let us echo the gospel.

Instead of pulling down, let us lift up.

Instead of sowing doubt, let us proclaim truth in love.

Let us focus on fulfilling Matthew 24:14, just like Apostle Paul declared in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” That is the legacy we should seek—not one of controversy, but of kingdom fulfillment.
