Pastor of Uyo based Power City International, Dr. Abel Damina has covertly joined his voice to the propriety of using curse on people by church leaders saying believers should be wary of pastors who curse.
In a video message shared on Nation Scoop, Damina said a pastor that is always cursing is dangerous because those who follow him may not know when he would curse them when they cross his path. “Such pastor will not only curse you, he will bury you. He is a danger to you”
He decried the misinterpretation of the word fox as used by Jesus saying Jesus did not curse. “I have heard people say but Jesus used fox on Herod. Yes, Jesus used fox on Herod does not translate to curse. Fox is a cunning and clever animal. Jesus was only using that word as a metaphor to describe Herod. He was just saying there is a trace of a fox that is found in your character.”
He urged pastors to spend time to study the Bible and look up the contextual meaning of words. “The future is for the educated. It is not late to go to school. The world is changing” he said
Damina said further that the future church will not tolerate those who can’t study adding that the job of the preacher is to explain the Bible to his listeners.
He said further that the world changed the moment the millennia were born. “There is no more space for zombism. The Bible has figures of speech. You don’t apply figures of speech literally. The figures of speech are there so that they could be explained.”
