Abel Damina Challenges Tithing Doctrine

Abel Damina, founder of Power City International, has publicly challenged the doctrine of tithing and giving to the church as a guaranteed pathway to financial prosperity. In a viral video, Abel Damina argued that there is no biblical scripture supporting the idea that giving to God makes one rich, and that such teachings are misleading. He asserted that wealth comes from education, work, and business activities, not religious offerings. Abel Damina recounted an anecdote of a man who gave all three of his cars to his church expecting financial breakthrough but ended up with nothing. His views are seen as controversial within Nigerian churches, where such teachings are common.
