This is contained in an open letter signed by the secretary of its elders’ council, Bishop Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, and addressed to Pastor Damina, dated 15 October on Facebook.

Adesanya-Davies said the letter serves as a disclaimer to the “heresy’s messages” preached by Damina.

“Dr. Abel Damina, you have crossed the line, and you are, therefore, no longer a representative of Christianity (The Body of Christ) in Nigeria.
“Heresy is a belief or opinion contrary to orthodox Christian doctrine and any belief, teaching or practice that explicitly undermines the gospel."

She cited some of Damina’s messages the group has issues with like “There is no heaven”, “You don’t need God to Succeed”, “Jesus is not coming back”, and “Heaven is scam.”

Damina was accused of attracting an audience through “content creating hype rather than being correct and spiritual.”
