Dr. Abel Damina, the charismatic Founder and President of Abel Damina Ministries International (ADMI) and the influential CEO of Kingdom Life Network (KLN), has extensively shared his take on the recent tithe correction made by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the esteemed General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls reporting that, Pastor Adeboye took a bold step by publicly apologizing for his previous assertion that failing to pay tithes would result in exclusion from heaven. With a rare display of humility, he acknowledged that his earlier statement lacked a biblical foundation and that he had misrepresented the core tenets of faith.
This controversy erupted when Adeboye emphatically declared that non-tithers would not make it to heaven—a statement that reverberated throughout the Christian community, sparking outrage and prompting calls for accountability.
Dr. Damina, renowned for his unwavering commitment to the truth, didn’t hesitate to speak out against this declaration, challenging Adeboye’s assertions and advocating for a more profound understanding of faith that transcends mere financial obligations.
In a recent revealing interview on a popular Christian show, Damina was pressed about whether Adeboye had reached out to him personally to apologize following his public admission.

However, Damina didn’t shy away from discussing the personal repercussions of his commitment to truth-telling.
According to him, since he began challenging the misleading teachings of his fellow clerics, he has faced significant backlash, losing friends and acquiring enemies along the way.
