Shocking Revelation Pastor Damina Reveals About Prosperity And Giving

Pastor Abel Damina, a well-known pastor and the founder of Power City International, has questioned the idea that giving to the church can lead to financial success, pointing out that there is no scriptural evidence that promises wealth and prosperity in return for giving to God.

The clergyman rejected the doctrine in a widely shared video, claiming that giving with such a mindset results in poverty and wretchedness rather than financial prosperity, as many Nigerian churches claim.

“There’s no scripture in the Bible that says when you give to God, you’ll be a rich person. There’s no such scripture. Nobody prospers by giving. When you give, you lack. Because when you give, it leaves you, and there’s a vacuum. Then you have to work again and give it time to recover what you gave. And sometimes you never recover it,” he said.

“Somebody told me he gave his church all three of his cars, and he has been trekking since then till when I met him. He said, I was thinking of going back to collect one. I said, I think so too. Because if you gave three and the only one you want to collect is one out of the three, you try. You’re never asking for the three.”

“I never saw anybody who, because he tithed, became a billionaire. Even those who said they became billionaires because they tithed — it’s because they don’t know. It’s because they had jobs and businesses. That’s why they became billionaires. Not because they tithed,”

“The reason why people can excavate the ground and meet oil wells is that God put the deposit. The reason why we can get to the rocks in Nigeria, go to the gold belt that travels right through Minna, Niger and right to Plateau, all those rocks, explore, break the ground and meet diamonds, golds, sapphires and

tourmaline is that God put them there.”

“So because God has blessed the planet, all we need to do is go to school, learn what to do to get into what has been blessed and turn it into commercial property. We go to school, we go to market, we engage to make money,” he added.

While Pastor Damina suggests that giving to the church does not lead to prosperity, I personally disagree with this view. I believe that giving to God is a divine principle that multiplies our sources of income, as the Bible promises: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, shaken together, and running over.”

Faithful giving aligns with God’s word and opens the door for His blessing to flow into our lives. Do you think that giving to God can indeed lead to prosperity as the scripture suggests?
