Is Jesus Truly God? (5)

0 Comments
Jesus answered them in Matthew 12:8 “For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” This is the true unveiling of the Personage of Jesus. Tracing the title 'Lord’ of Matthew 12:8 to Exodus and Genesis, Jesus is appropriately the Self-Existent Yahweh of the Old Testamentary order. Jesus Christ, uncreated, is very God of very God, the Author of the creationism. The sole prophethood of Islamism, in all pellucidity, did not know what he was saying when he ascribed the Messianic status to Jesus. Ten times in the Qur’an: Aal-e-Imran 3:45; An-Nisa’ 4:157; An-Nisa’ 4:171; An-Nisa’ 4:172; Al-Ma’idah 5:17; Al-Ma’idah 5:72; Al-Ma’idah 5:75 and At-Taubah 9:30 Muhammad accepted Messianism of Jesus Christ of the Bible. It has its native origin in the Hebraic mâshı̂yach (maw-shee'-akh): ‘anointed one, Messianic prince: of the king of Israel and of the high priest of Israel; consecrated king, priest, or Saviour.’ Muhammad did not know that Messiah is the expected Saviour, King and High Priest of Israel – and by extension, the whole world. Had he known, Prophet Muhammad would never have called Jesus the Messiah or Christ. The Messianism of Jesus is essentially soteriological. Can it not only be a religious quackery, solidly backed by the tenets Satanism that will teach the possible destruction of the Messiah, the LORD from heaven? Sound theological reasoning will never allow the crossing of mind that the Person of Jesus could be destroyed by God the Father: for Jesus is the leitmotif of the entire Scriptural essence; Jesus is the only one who did not commit a single sin; the existing love among the Father, Son the Holy Spirit can never come to an end. What sense does it make that God would decide to destroy Jesus in Whom dwells all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom? Does the destruction of Jesus, as Muhammad erroneously put it, not make a huge nonsense of the salvation and the Church, the eternal Woman of Jesus Christ? The Bible says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8).Read More

The existence of “I AM” is the timelessness of eternality. Jesus says His days of existence is eternally before anything was created, therefore, He is God – uncreated. How can Jesus say, “I am come to give you life and life more abundantly,” if He is not the Author of creationism and of life? The epithetical 'which is, and which was, and which is to come” does speak volumes. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the time of Adam – which is –; Christ has been before the creation of time – which was –; Jesus will continue to be LORD God in the eternality of the future – which is to come – and this is ponderous. Jesus is the LORD of lords and at the same time, the King of kings: for the Kingdom of God is absolutely in His hand. And to cap the quiddity of His Deity, Jesus actually calls Himself, “The Almighty!” Do a Scriptural fact check and the amazing outcome will be that, throughout the Scriptures none other, save God, has the attributive ‘Almighty’ which is pantokratōr (pan-tok-rat’-ore) and means: ‘he who holds sway over all things; the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and universal sovereign).’ From this definition, Jesus is the pantokratōr in the sense of Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence, ergo, very God of very God. Hallelujah! It does not occur to many Bible reading minds who the Jehovah Personage of the Old Testamentary Order is. The Elohîym Godhood does not have Ten, Twelve or Four Gods. The LORD God decided, before the creationism, to exist in Three distinct Persons constituting One worshipped God, called Jehovah. This Divine decision was taken so that plurality will not be a concept that natural creation will possess before the Most High God does. Secondly, it is for the actualization of the soteriological quiddity. The Omniscient God knew man would need salvation, ergo, One of Them must be seated on the throne. Two of Them will supervise the terms and conditions of the soteriology.Read More

For uttering the words of John 10:30, this was the position of the Jews who understood the wordings of His asseveration: John 10:33 “The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” Did Jesus make an asseveration of His Deity? Yes, so He did in John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” You may wonder, “What’s the big deal in being a shepherd?” This is the big deal. The minute Jesus uttered the words of John 10:11, He raced their Jewry minds to Psalms 23 and 80. The opening verse of Psalm 80 reads, “Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.” Read this Psalm carefully and none needs to intimate you with this Shepherd of Israel. Who will a psalmist call on in prayer? He, absolutely, is the One of Psalms 5 and 55. Who is this Shepherd of Israel? Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:23; John 10:14; Hebrews 13:20; 1Peter 2:25 and 5:4 will tell you it is the LORD God of the Bible. Who led Joseph like a flock? Is it not the One and only Jehovah of Psalms 77:20 and 78:52; Isaiah 49:9-10 and Isaiah 63:11? It is the LORD, the Holy Spirit,God, Who dwells between the cherubim, the covering for the Ark of Covenant situated in the holy of holies (Psa 99:1; Exo 25:20-22; 1Sam 4:4; 2Sam 6:2; 2Ki 19:15; Eze 1:13; Eze 10:4). Psalm 23 commences with “The LORD is my Shepherd;” where the 'LORD’ is Hebrew יהוה Yehôvâh. Now, I believe you understand the reason why I said that the utterance of John 10:11 would have raced their Jewry minds to the Psalms. If Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd, then He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and of the entire world. Yes, Jesus, the Son of man did come out of Mary in the annals of human history; but the Christ, dwelling in Him is ‘which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty;’ Who has no beginning and no ending, the Creator!Read More

We know that the latria is offered strictly to the Divinity seated eternally on the celestial throne. The latria is seen given to God the Creator, the First Member of the Godhead, in Revelation 4:4; 4:8; 4:10 and 19:4. Revelation 5:8 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.” What will doubters of the Divinity of the Second Member of the Godhead, Who is also the Lamb of God, say to “fell down before the Lamb”? Is it possible that the four angels around the throne of Majesty together with the twenty-four elders will ever prostrate before a created being in worship even where the Father is seated? Will the host of heaven bow in adoration before Jesus if the Christ is not Deity? Jesus Christ, Whose appearance is exactly of the Father, ‘did not think it as something to brag about’ is what thought it not robbery to be equal with God of verse six is saying. He that is very God of very God took upon Himself the likeness of a servant for the actuation of the soteriology. Is God alone not regarded as the Saviour; how does one explain the fact that Jesus also is the Saviour of the world? Simple: Jesus is wholly Divine, and is one with the Father!Read More

TASTY SATANISM (Nine)

I want to pose this to those who continue to follow the apostles of experiential Impartation, Encounters and Anointings. Which experience is truly rewarding, is it the one with fallen Adamic preachers – the one you get from creatures of fallen Adam – or that of Pentecostal Upper Room? What we fail to apprehend is simply that it is the ophidian pad and creep that informs us that the Holy Spirit’s indwelling is not enough. The Devil does this to get you on pilgrimages to encounter the demonic power of his prescription. More Church people – unfortunately – are operating under the influence of Satanism than that of the Holy Spirit’s. You do not know which Bible preachers are operating with the power of Hindu talisman. New Age adherents seek to obtain psychic vision and clairvoyance through development of The Third Eye. Anyone who is not satisfied with biblical protocol gets introduced to an undiluted pure evil of Satanism. This is what you peddle when you think and teach that the promised power of getting born again is not enough. The Devil who gives such spiritual assistance makes sure they also get stupendously rich, thereby, deceiving millions; especially, when miracles (often fake) get performed by them. So, why do you think Joshua Selma will say, “The Lord told me, ‘This light that came from Me to you, everywhere you go to preach there must be someone in that meeting that the light must come upon their destiny”? This is exactly what those who are wallowing in the syndromic attack of Pauline ear itching want to hear. They will easily fall for it, line, hook and sinker!Read More

TASTY SATANISM (Eight)

Apostle Joshua Selma himself said, “Now, understand that every time we teach those things, the Bible is the foundational pattern for our spiritual growth. When we share these supernatural experiences it’s not to create a passion in you higher than your love for Scripture.” So, the question here is, “Where in the Scriptures does it say that the language of God is light or that you don’t have to talk to speak?” Methinks Apostle Joshua Selma said God does not use English, Greek or Hebrew to communicate? How come we read of Paul’s documentation, “I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” I just hope he will not, in Abel Damina fashion, stick to his phony gun, arguing that that “saying in the Hebrew tongue,” is translators' manipulation. Subtle importation of teachings into Scripture with the sole aim of satanical scratch of syndromic itchy ears is unfortunately what these teachers are knowingly or unknowingly deep in perpetration. All that these people do is make mention of Jesus and the unwary lot get their minds swindled: with the subtle use of the Scripture. Now, we are of the understanding that mere calling of the name of Jesus and burst into tongues (which can be deceptive) are not the proofs of a good teacher of the Word. All Lucifer needs is for someone to start the unscriptural teaching and Satanism will provide that which makes the eisegesis very, very tasty in the ears of those suffering from Pauline ear itches.Read More

Abel Damina’s ignorance will not apprehend the fact that God is a Businessman. The Bible corroborates God’s mind of business. Business languages are employed to teach God’s kingdom reality in Matthew 18:23-35. A similar example is in Matthew 25:14-30. Maybe not to egregiousness of degree, I cannot help discerning dilettantism in Dr Abel Damina’s teaching of the Bible. How can I get it wrong to say that Damina has the traits of an irresolute oscillating dilettante when, with his own mouth he said, “In the bid to pray for people and help more people, I began to teach?” The truthful teachings on Deity of Jesus and of security of salvation and a couple of others, notwithstanding, lots of the things Damina teaches theologically have wiped out the good ones he teaches. Warning against having the mentality of “praying in the name of Jesus,” Damina pointed out that it means that it is Jesus who has a relationship with God and you are not. I want to quote Abel Damina verbatim: “You needed to only come through Jesus once and that’s in salvation. From the moment you come through Jesus once, you and the Father established relationship. You don’t need Jesus anymore. You have a direct access to the Father.” One thing I believe maniacal malcontentment can do is to push Dr Damina to want to think outside the box to teach God’s Word. You cannot think outside the box, as far as the Bible is concerned, to disseminate biblical facticity. Thinking “outside the box” to do exegesis of the Bible is to walk away from the Logos to explicate theological mind of the Godhead. It is diabolical to dot the i’s and cross the t’s of Scripture outside the revealed word of the Bible. Read More

How did Adam become the first prophet, priest, head of the earth and pastor? The LORD God walked to him and gave him the appointments. In Genesis 6:18, God established Noah’s commission with, “But with thee will I establish my covenant.” Abrahamic approval received its indubitability in Genesis 15:17 “And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.” Isaac and Jacob had personal calls of Divinity. Who called out, “Samuel,” when the last Judge, high priest and prophet of Israel was just a kid? Before Jesus began His soteriological ministry, He chose, by calling His apostles into the Lord’s vineyard. But Damina’s entrance into the pastoral business was a stumble of “In the bid to pray for people and help more people, I began to teach.” I thus agree with Joseph Uwana that Damina merely stumbled onto the ministry, very much an uncalled individual by God. No wonder, Dr Abel Damina opens his mouth to teach too much of eisegetical stuffs. I know what argument is very likely to rise from dual suzerainty of the Divinity, “That’s God now!” Good, so let us do more digging of scriptural exegesis. Abraham was a businessman and had a calling into the prophetic office. Before you start to see no comparison, let us look at Moses, who held offices of the Prophet, Judge, Leader and the Priesthood. The spiritual – prophethood and priesthood – and the mundane – Leader and Judge – offices were well merged in one individual Moses. Samuel, of whom it is said, “And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD” in 1Samuel 3:20; was also the high priest, the leader and the last Judge of Israel, God’s people. As the king of Israel, David held the political post. This same David was a prophet. Solomon ruled as the king, he was also the Preacher in the Book of Ecclesiastes. With these historic facts of God’s Book, what stops Reverend Chris Okotie and Pastor Tunde Bakare from running for the presidency of Nigeria? Absolutely nothing stops them: from the word of God. Amen!Read More

Damina says that Jesus did not perform the ascension; that He entered the disciples and not the throne of heaven. To validate that unholy doctrine, he must disagree with Christ’s Second Coming. The Second Coming has Old Testament validation. He teaches that no preacher of the gospel should delve into political partisanship. Let me start with his eye opening Andrew Wommack. Wommack does not believe in the rapture of Christianity. Damina prefers to read other printed materials in the dissemination of the gospel of Jesus. What an irony! I do have my Christian Brother, Joseph Uwana, to thank for intimating me with this information about Dr Abel Damina and even letting me have the internet link to the video. It truly behooves Christian people to intimate the teachings they do not agree with, to other Christians to enable Scriptural facts to be made readily available, especially, for those not nursing itchy ears. Abel Damina, from the interview he granted, showed that the simplicity of the gospel was not enough. He wanted to outdo divine authorship of the Scriptures. This is exactly what Lucifer concocted resulting in roguery of Satanism: trying to equal Jehovah in his own terms is the bane of Luciferian loss of celestial estate. It is egregious puerility for Damina worrying himself sick thinking, “Is Church all about giving and taking.”It is just as trying to make me believe that Adam began to experience loneliness on the very sixth day of his creation when he was yet to explore the entire global landscape, the waters, the cosmic intricacies plus the vastness of the belly of our earth. The Bible contains sermocination and revelations of eternal magnitude. How many teachings had he done to think he had covered the vastness of Scriptural documentation? Lucifer tempted Dr Damina with the itch. Damina fell for it. Satanism struck him with demonic restlessness; Damina succumbed. Under the spell of deception, he was goaded through an uncanny desire to spread extra-biblical eisegesis.Read More

Celestial drama unfolded in Revelation chapter 5 proving distinction of the Persons of the Godhead. Waited, God did to make sure that no intelligent being of creationism will dare come forward to take the scroll from His Divine hand. Then strolled Jesus, in all the magnificence of Deity, and did what none could ever do. Christ stretched His own hand of eternality to take from the hand of the Ancient of days – it takes the hand of eternality to take and to open what the Eternal Father holds. Amen. In the Godhead dwells the mystery of the three distinct Persons of creationism. When one believes he has his congregation firmly under the control of his thumb, he continues to look for more dominant ways. Damina does not agree with the Bible, saying, “Jesus is not the Lion of Judah.”How can this man just not acknowledge the metaphorical allusion at literary play here? Even if a simile is employed in this regard, does it make Jesus an unruly beast of jungle? Rather than enjoy the metaphor, Dr Damina chose to read an unnecessary malapropism to glorify his habitual eisegetical approach to Scripture. Scripture, as we understand, must explain scriptural mind of theology. So, how does Scripture support Scripture in this case? Let us take a critical look at Damina’s claim that, “Abraham was a dubious businessman;” he did not stop there; he went on to malign the character of Abraham’s grandson, saying, “Jacob too used Benjamin as collateral to make money.”How does one explain Damina’s rationale behind teaching that Abraham proved to be a dubious man, sourcing his Bible text from Genesis chapters 12 and 20; involving Pharaoh of Egypt and Abimelech of Gerar respectively? Contrary to Damina’s cautioning to be silent when the Bible is silent and be loud when the Bible so is, Damina is outrageously loud where there is no biblical authorization.Read More

Damina is categorical in saying that you do not have another spirit other than the Holy Spirit. Which spirit in the inner being of the Christian, of this verse, is Paul, the Apostle, offering prayers for preservation and blamelessness unto the LORD’s coming? It definitely cannot be the Holy Spirit of God – needing no prayer, being of the Godhead – Who appeared on the day of Pentecost as Jesus had promised and gained spiritual entrance into them to empower them in the Kingdom of God business. Again, Damina, you are totally wrong. Dr Abel Damina does not believe in the Trinity of the Godhead. “There is only one God,” taking his teaching from Deuteronomy 6:4, concerning the Trinity, he became dramatic, saying, “What about Trinity? One! What about Father, Son and the Holy Spirit? One!” and continuing, “If He is the Almighty, He can be anything He wants to be so, when He becomes the Son, He’s still the Father; when He becomes the Holy Spirit, He’s still the Person. It’s just that in His sufficiency, He can be whatever He wants to be and for how long and for whatever purpose He desires. It is out of Him the Father came, it is out of Him the Son came, it is out of Him the Holy Spirit came and He can decide to make them nonexistent if He chooses to. He became all of that for the purpose of redemption.” I have quoted this man verbatim! . The subtlety of Damina’s demonic effusion says in categorical language that God can decide to throw the Messiah of the soteriology into oblivion and also hurl the Holy Spirit and the Eternal Father into extinction. If this is not madness borne out of Satanism, what is it? How did this theological “oneness” come into being? This ‘oneness’ teaching of Jehovah stinks of the incommodiousness of Sabellianism. The heresy of modalism has been around since 217-220 AD. It is a propounding of Sabellius of Rome. It is also called modalistic monarchianism or Modalism which asserts that God exists as one Person who shifts between three faces: one for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Holy Spirit.Read More

“God has never been angry,” taught Dr Abel. He shot his didactic feet for maintaining, “Anger is strange to God. God has never been angry before. He is not angry now; and He will never be angry.” Damina why are you so bent on prevarication of God’s Bible? Genesis 6:6 “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” The contrariness of Damina’s mind said, “God has never been angry.” Abraham said to the LORD God in His preincarnation manifestation of Genesis 18:24 “Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?” Damina, why, tell me, will God destroy the lives of two big nations if not out of anger? In Exodus 4:24-26, God would have killed Gershom, the son of Moses and Zipporah, his wife, for not abiding by the covenant of the circumcision. Concerning God’s anger, these are the lyrics of the psalmist: “Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath” (Psalm 90:11). It also says, “Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry” (Psalm 76:7)? What does it mean by “For our God is a consuming fire” that we read in Hebrews 12:29? It is a warning to those who, with lackadaisical attitude, treat the gospel of redemption with levity.Read More

This is an unedited statement of Dr Abel Damina: “If you follow the Bible you will be poor all your life.” As if that was not damning enough he went on, “This is the reason why Christians are the poorest people on earth.” It is the political title of the soon coming King, Jesus Christ, Who will rule for one whole thousand years on this very earth. That He will rule for one thousand earthly years is another Scriptural fact Damina jettisons, believing that Jesus is not coming back again. Why is He Jehovah Tsabbaoth? The true empyrean hosts or armies are His creation (Genesis 2:1). He is none other than the LORD of hosts in 1Samuel 1:3. The LORD Jesus is the Head of the Church. So, tell me something here. Where will I go when I need to have whatever need confronts me; is it not Jesus? Where two or three are gathered in His name to raise holy hands to the Most High, is it not the Church? The Church, I have come to understand, is the one stop shop for all spiritual needs. The one against our happiness, Satan, is a spiritual evil being, whose abode is outside the Church. Where does Abel Damina tell his congregation to seek wealth? He said categorically, “If you want to make money, go outside the Church.” And that is what any great motivational speaker will teach you. If God will bless us in His capacity as the “LORD of hosts” does it not show everyone that He is going to war on our behalf to provide for those of us who seek wealth through the Church protocol? The great wealth of money Abel Damina wields is, definitely, not from the One Whose ownership is the cattle on thousands of hills, because it is acquired outside the Church of Jehovah Shammah. Selah!Read More

Now let us look at the word ‘covenant’; it is the Hebrew berı̂yth (ber-eeth’) meaning: '1. alliance, pledge, agreement (man to man) or between God and man. 2. (in the sense of cutting) a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh).’ Again God told Noah who led Adamic creatures from the antediluvian age to the postdiluvian era, “And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you” (Genesis 9:9); and the said seed after him are his Adamic progenies. And when Divine scrutiny found Abraham trustworthy, the Mosaic account, as God revealed to him in Genesis 17:1-5 reads, 1) “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2) And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3) And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4) As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5) Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.” What Bible do these people (Abel Damina and Chris Oyakhilome) read? They teach that God never had any covenant with man. God being the Keeper of covenant, He must show Himself to the last of the three patriarchs of Israel to validate the personal covenant He had entered with man; and Jacob woke up from his sleep; holding the patriarchal baton of the covenant between God and man. Amen!Read More

God did not just think of the ark as a means of Noachian salvation, He was the Architectural Engineer of the ark. What He had purposed to do long before the creation of any intelligent being, the LORD God instructed Noah to do. God did, truly, tell Noah to build the ark. Let me quote Damina to see whether his teaching agrees with the above revealed Mosaic Book, “God didn’t tell Noah to build an ark. It was Noah who decided to build an ark as a means of communicating what God revealed to him.” The spirit of deceitfulness dwells, of sooth, dangerously, in the heart of Abel Damina. Do not be Damina-swayed, be warned. I, honestly, do not see the rationale behind Damina’s teaching that has the topic: “Tithing is not for the New Testament Church.” Who was the first person to decide, from his heart, to tithe his possession? It was Abraham. Was Abrahamic tithe triggered by divine law of the Old Testamentary economy? No, it was not. Two forces I know are responsible for Adamic resolve: the force of Good and the force of Satanism. Was it the gentle whisper of Satanism that prompted Abraham’s offer of the first ever tithing or was it inspired by the Spirit of God? That this man could muster up a wicked boldacity without a bit of conscience twist, teaching that, “God never entered into covenant with man,” is a diabolical deviation from scriptural facticity. Actually, Dr Damina does have an eisegetical ally in the pastoral faux pas of Dr Chris Oyakhilome.Read More

Damina, you cannot rewrite or edit the Bible. I want to believe that Abel Damina is one of the preachers who do not believe in the rapture; the best thing he can do is to make nonsense of any verse of the Bible that stands in his eisegetical crave. The Bible does not give the slightest hint of the angels’ scriptural ignorance. Have I not heard you, Damina, saying, “When the Scripture is loud, be loud; but where the Bible is silent, be silent?” Abel Damina is shunning ethical standards of scriptural didacticism just to teach scriptural anomalies. The Bible says Jesus parted from them heavenward into the clouds; is that not ascension? Is Damina not today’s Cerintus? Damina has, definitely, come to steal, kill and to destroy the truth of the gospel, and so unfortunately, he has teeming like-minded people in their millions, probably. Is it not true that billions of followership does not necessarily translate to living in the veracity of the revealed Word of God? There are more in the camp of Satanism than in the Church of the Living God.Read More

Is there any smidgeon of reason why God will ever choose to lie? He has nothing untoward to hide. Jehovah is the absolute Truth. In Him is found not deceit. His inability to lie will cause whatever He says to be true! What is viewed as His incapability to lie underscores the strength of His Almighty character. Rather than effect an opening of vista of His weakness, the impossibility of His lying stance breadthens the LORD God’s incorruptibility. Because God cannot lie, this demonstrates His Fatherhood of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). The lying heart definitely belongs to a vacillatory idiot. The scriptural rectitude agrees with Pastor Damina and other pastors that what God cannot do does exist. Because God cannot lie He, most definitely, cannot commit any sin. Sinfulness dwells in the midst of antagonism against the express word of God. And this is the very reason why God cannot commit any sin: He will never go against His Word. His Word, Jesus Christ, is the Truth. Dr Abel Damina teaches that “Jesus did not ascend to heaven.” Let us look at some of his arguments for this teaching: i. After His resurrection, Jesus was purely immaterial, therefore, He could change to whatever He wanted or even disappear. ii. It was an angel who spoke the words of Acts 1:11; an angel who did not know much: according to Abel Damina, he maintains that what the angel told the disciples has no scriptural corroboration.Read More

Very few preachers teach the security of salvation, so, when I heard that Dr Abel Damina teaches ‘once saved, always saved', it pleased my heart. If there are architectural buildings of enclosures in heaven, then God too has His own abode of walls and roofing. To put a roof on God’s dwelling is to limit His personage and tends to impugn Jehovah’s immanency and also makes Him look like needing protection, ergo, heretic and in nonconformity with Christian theology. From the definitions above, a paraphrastic couch of the promise of Jesus is, “In my Father’s home (family) are many spaces….I go to prepare a spot for you.” I can understand the mortality claim of being the Alpha i.e. first or beginning. But, when the selfsame entity lays claim to being the Omega i.e. last or ending as well, that is the same as laying claim to eternality of existence. Only God is Alpha and Omega at the same time. The epithetical which is, and which was, and which is to come speaks of the Entity predating eternity past, Who still exists, and will, by His own power, continue to exist as the LORD God throughout eternity to come. What is the last name Jesus calls Himself in the above verse? “The Almighty,” which in Greek is pantokratōr (pan-tok-rat’-ore): ‘he who holds sway over all things; the ruler of all: God the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and universal sovereign).’Read More

A neighborhood acquaintance, wondering about the kind of teachings Dr. Abel Damina is known for, quoted what he watched and heard him saying, “Anytime I drop something about the Bible, and they busy themselves with it, I quickly go back to do some research and drop another bomb at them.” Let us go through some of Dr Abel Damina’s teachings: 1. You cannot lose your salvation. 2. There are no mansions in heaven. 3. Jesus is God. 4. The falsehood of “What God cannot do does not exist.” 5. Jesus did not ascend to heaven. 6. God did not tell Noah to build an ark. 7. Tithing is not for the New Testament Church. 8. God never entered into covenant with man. 9. If you follow the Bible, you will be poor all your life. 10. God has never been angry. 11. You do not have a separate spirit of your own. The spirit inside you is the Holy Spirit; because you and God are one. 12. There is no Trinity. 13. Jesus is not the Lion of Judah. 14. Abraham was a dubious businessman; Jacob too used Benjamin as collateral to make money. Philippians 3:9 “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” therefore, the righteousness of the Christian dwells not in himself. Can Jesus lose His divine righteousness? If the answer is, “No,” then as a Christian, I cannot lose my righteousness, and, consequently, my salvation. Selah!Read More

Didactic Incongruity With The Scripture (XII)

Any born again Christian who does not exercise faith to receive this divine gift misses out in this rapturous elevation. Most definitely, things will be revealed to you; things most fail to see concerning the facticity of Scripture. Is it not a thing of pride that you are having a phone conversation with the most powerful head of government? How lowly the pride goes when the conversation is with the Most High Jehovah, the Creator Himself? Apostle Joshua Selma is quite obsessed with spiritual power such that he will do anything no matter how Scriptural anomalous it stands. In one of his spiritual excursions he, together with other insincere church leaders, went to visit the tomb of William Marrion Branham – one of the greatest evangelists of our time – and received an impartation of spiritual power from the Holy Spirit by touching the dead man’s tomb! What does this mean? I will tell you what it insinuates. The tombs of Archbishop Idahosa, Moses Orimolade, S.B.J. Oshoffa, Joseph Ayo Babalola, Prophet T.B. Joshua, Olumba Olumba Obu, Pope Leo I, Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman, Kenneth E. Hagin, Reinhard Bonnke and many others must receive visitations from Christians who crave idolatrous version of spiritual harvests of Holy Spirit’s impartation.

To those who will buy his apothecary jars and bottles, they believe, unfortunately, will constantly be dealing supernaturally with the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ and, of course, make approachable the eternal Father, Whose divine brightness is unapproachable. My philosophical rumination taught me, as a teenager, that Lucifer should be as powerful as Jehovah to go against the LORD God – he is still roaming about in his acts of Satanism – and nothing seems to dislodge the status quo. But having understood the word of God, I know that belief is a mere rationalism of fallen carnality of Adamic propensity. Lucifer fell, becoming an exact opposite of good; the truth, of course, is that his evil power is an infinitesimal lowness compared to the Creator. Read More
