New creation in Christ realities

Many people in religion are trying to behave right instead of believing right. Christianity is not behavior modification—it is identity revelation.

WATER BAPTISM: A SIGN, NOT THE SOURCE

Water baptism has been one of the most misunderstood practices in Christianity.

Many have elevated it to a place where it seems like a requirement for salvation, while others see it merely as a religious ritual.

But what does the Scripture actually teach when rightly divided?
First, we must establish a foundational truth:
salvation is not by works, but by grace through faith.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. — Ephesians 2:8–9

If baptism were necessary for salvation, then salvation would no longer be by grace.

It would become a work—something man does to complete what Christ has already finished

That would contradict the very essence of the Gospel.

THE PLACE OF WATER BAPTISM

Water baptism is symbolic, not salvific. It is an outward expression of an inward reality.

The believer, having already received salvation by faith in Christ, identifies publicly with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like Christ was raised up from the dead… even so we also should walk in the newness of life. — Romans 6:4

Notice, Paul is not teaching that baptism produces new life.

Rather, it illustrates the new life already received. The immersion into water symbolizes death and burial; coming out of the water symbolizes resurrection into a new life in Christ.

THE THIEF ON THE CROSS: A CASE STUDY

One of the clearest proofs that water baptism is not required for salvation is the thief on the cross.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. — Luke 23:43

This man believed in Christ and was assured of salvation without any opportunity for water baptism.
If baptism were essential, Jesus would not have made such a definitive statement.

MISUNDERSTOOD TEXT: MARK 16:16

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Careful observation shows that condemnation is tied to unbelief, not the absence of baptism. The emphasis is on faith. Baptism follows belief, but it is not the condition for salvation.

THE REAL BAPTISM: INTO CHRIST

The New Testament emphasizes a greater baptism—baptism into Christ by the Spirit.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… — 1 Corinthians 12:13

This is the baptism that truly saves—the moment a man believes the Gospel, he is immersed into Christ, united with Him, and made a new creation.

Water baptism, therefore, is simply a physical demonstration of this spiritual reality.

SO LISTEN
Baptism is important—but it must be properly understood. It is:
Water baptism is a public declaration, not a private means of salvation.

Is a symbol of identification, not a channel of grace.

Is an act of obedience, not a condition for justification.

When rightly taught, it strengthens the believer’s understanding of their union with Christ.

But when misunderstood, it can lead to legalism and confusion.

The Gospel remains simple and powerful:

Believe in Christ, and you are saved.

Baptism follows—not as a requirement, but as a testimony.

THE ESSENCE OF TEACHING IT'S NOT JUST FOR YOU TO BE HEALED AND BE BLESSED, BUT FOR YOU TO TEACH OTHERS TOO.. Dr Abel Damina

ARE YOU TIRED OF FASTING AND MAKING YEARLY RESOLUTIONS THAT NEVER WORK?

Many people enter every new year with long fasting schedules, serious resolutions, and bold declarations.

Yet, months later, nothing has changed. The same struggles remain.

The same patterns continue. The same frustrations persist.

So the question is—what is missing?

Fasting is not a tool to force God’s hand.

It is not a spiritual bribe to make God act on your behalf. And resolutions, no matter how sincere, cannot produce lasting change if they are built on human effort alone.

The problem is not your seriousness. The problem is your understanding.

Real transformation does not come by starving the body or making emotional promises at the beginning of the year.

True change comes by renewing your mind with the knowledge of Christ.

The Bible says in Romans 12:2, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Not by fasting. Not by resolutions. But by knowledge.

Many fast, hoping that God will “move.” But God already moved in Christ. Many make resolutions, hoping things will “change.” But change begins when you see what Christ has already done and who you are in Him.

You don’t overcome struggles by yearly rituals. You overcome by understanding your identity in Christ.

Colossians 2:10 says, “And you are complete in Him…”

That means you are not trying to become complete—you already are.

Until this becomes your reality, you will keep repeating cycles:

Fasting without results

Resolutions without fulfillment.

Effort without transformation

Stop relying on activities. Start relying on revelation.

You don’t need another resolution.

You don’t need another dry fast.
You need light—the knowledge of what Christ has finished.

When you know the truth, the struggle loses its grip.

Stop trying to change your life from the outside.

Let the truth of Christ transform you from within.

ARE YOU TIRED OF KOBOKO SERVICE, YET THE DEVIL IS STILL FLOGGING YOU?

Many have been told that the more they suffer, the more spiritual they become.

So they submit themselves to all kinds of “koboko services”—beatings, punishments, harsh rituals—thinking it will drive the devil away or make God accept them.

But let’s be clear: pain has never been God’s method for righteousness.

If suffering in your body could produce victory in your life, then the finished work of Christ would be unnecessary.

The truth is, Jesus already bore the stripes. He already took the punishment. He already paid the price in full.

So why are you still trying to pay for what has been completely settled?

The Bible says, “It is finished.” That means nothing is left undone.

No extra flogging, no additional punishment, no self-inflicted suffering can add to what Christ has done.

If after all the “koboko services” the devil is still “flogging” you, then the problem is not your effort—it is your understanding.

Because victory over the devil is not achieved by physical suffering; it is established by knowledge of your identity in Christ.

The scripture says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Not a lack of suffering.

Not lack of effort. But lack of knowledge.

You don’t defeat the devil by allowing men to beat you. You defeat the devil by standing in the truth of what Christ has done.

You are not a victim trying to become victorious. You are already victorious in Christ.

Stop submitting to rituals that Christ has already fulfilled.

Stop embracing pain as a pathway to power.
Christ is your victory. Christ is your righteousness. Christ is enough.
Walk in that reality.

ARE YOU TIRED OF ANOINTING YOURSELF, DRINKING OIL, AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNSOLVED?

If after all the oil you have poured, the struggles remain the same, then it’s time to ask the right question:
Did God ever prescribe oil as the solution to your problem under the New Covenant?

Many believers have reduced Christianity to rituals—anointing oil, special prayers, midnight directions—yet the results remain unchanged.

Why? Because the power of God is not in substances; it is in the finished work of Christ.
In the Old Testament, oil was symbolic.

It pointed to something greater—the Spirit of God at work. But today, that reality has come. The believer is not anointed by oil; the believer is anointed by the Spirit.

But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things. — 1 John 2:20

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God. — 2 Corinthians 1:21

Notice—God has anointed you, not oil.

Drinking oil cannot solve spiritual problems.

In fact, nowhere in the entire New Testament are believers instructed to drink oil for deliverance, healing, or breakthrough.

That practice is not Christianity—it is a carryover of superstition dressed in religious language.

The solution is not in a bottle. The solution is in Christ.

And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. — Colossians 2:10.

You are not trying to be free—you have already been made free.

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36

Stop looking for power in the elements.

Stop outsourcing your faith to rituals.

The power of God is already at work in you through the Holy Spirit.

You don’t need to drink oil to activate God. God is not dormant in your life.

What you need is knowledge—revelation of who you are in Christ.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… — Hosea 4:6

Until you know, you will keep doing what does not work.

So I ask again:

Are you tired of the cycle?

Then step out of rituals and step into reality.
Christ is your answer. Not oil. Not objects. Not formulas.

Grow in the Word. Walk in the Spirit. Rest in Christ.

That is where the solution has always been.

30/04/2026

Correction comes from Scripture—not from office rivalry.

If what a “prophet” says contradicts Christ, the Gospel, or apostolic teaching, ANYONE grounded in the Word—especially a teacher—has both the right and the responsibility to correct it.

Truth is not preserved by titles. Truth is preserved by sound doctrine.
Thank you..

CHRIST IS ENOUGH — NO ADDITIONS REQUIRED

Any message—no matter who is preaching it—that takes away the believer’s assurance of salvation is not the Gospel.

It may sound spiritual, it may look religious, but it is not Bible truth.

Tell such a preacher plainly: find something else to do.

Maybe trade, maybe business—sell soap or perfume if you like—but don’t tamper with the Gospel of Christ.

And let’s be honest—there is no such thing as “soap for favor” or “perfume for breakthrough.”

Those things are nothing but religiously packaged deception—native doctorism dressed in church language.

Christ is more than enough.

If what you are given is a “Christ” that is not enough, then it is not the Christ of Scripture.

That “Christ” cannot save.

When will believers grow tired of these additions?

When will they stop blending the finished work of Christ like a spiritual smoothie?

Christ plus banana.

Christ plus pineapple.

Christ plus olive oil.

Christ plus aprons.

Christ plus feet washing.

Christ plus “anointed” items in bottles…

How long will we keep mixing what God has already perfected?

The Gospel is not a mixture. It is not a recipe. It is not Christ plus something.

The moment you add anything to Christ, you have created another gospel.

Even “Christ plus tithe” as a requirement for acceptance or blessing is not the Gospel of Christ.

Salvation is not maintained by rituals—it is secured by the finished work of Jesus.

What we are seeing in many places is not ministry—it is manipulation.

Religion is being used to exploit people, and many have become so conditioned that they defend the very systems that hold them bound.

A prisoner can become so used to prison that he begins to celebrate it.

Not because it is freedom, but because he is afraid of what lies outside.

But hear this clearly:

Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
Stand fast in that liberty.

Refuse to be entangled again with any yoke of bo***ge.
Stop drinking spiritual smoothies.

Stop mixing what God has made complete.
Christ is enough. Completely enough. Eternally enough.

That Man of Calvary is enough for me.
Glory to God.

CHRISTIANITY: THE FAITH FOUNDED ON A RISEN CHRIST, NOT A RESTING BODY
‎
‎There is something fundamentally distinct about Christianity—something critics often overlook or fail to examine carefully.
‎
‎Every major religion can point to the, tomb, or resting place of its founder.
‎
Their bodies remain there as historical relics. But when it comes to Jesus Christ, the narrative is completely different.
‎
‎The grave could not hold Him.
‎
‎This is not a poetic claim—it is the very heart of the gospel.
‎
‎Some today travel to supposed burial sites of Jesus to pray or perform religious rituals. Yet, historically, the exact location of His tomb cannot be verified with absolute certainty. But even more importantly, what would you expect to find there?
‎
‎An empty grave.
‎And that is the point many miss.
‎
‎THE GOSPEL IS NOT A LOCATION — IT IS AN EVENT
‎
‎Christianity is not built on sacred geography, monuments, or relics.
‎It is built on a historical, verifiable proclamation:
‎
‎Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
‎He was buried,
‎and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
‎— (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
‎
‎This is the gospel in its purest form.
‎He died — a real death
‎He was buried — a confirmed burial
‎He rose again — a victorious resurrection.
‎
‎THE RESURRECTION: EVIDENCE, NOT MYTH
‎The resurrection was not hidden, mystical, or symbolic. It was witnessed.
‎He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs…
‎— (Acts 1:3)
‎
‎Jesus appeared:
‎To Mary Magdalene (John 20:14–18)
‎To His disciples (Luke 24:36–43)
‎To two men on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–31)
‎To over 500 people at once (1 Corinthians 15:6)
‎
‎These were not hallucinations. These were eyewitness accounts recorded while many witnesses were still alive.
‎
‎This is critical:
‎If the resurrection were false, it could have been easily disproven.
‎
‎But no one produced His body.
‎Instead, the testimony spread:
‎This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
‎— (Acts 2:32)
‎
‎THE DISCIPLES: WITNESSES, NOT FABRICATORS
‎
‎The apostles did not preach philosophy or speculation.
‎
‎They declared what they saw:
‎We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
‎— (Acts 4:20)
‎
‎They were persecuted, imprisoned, and killed—yet never recanted.
‎
‎People may die for what they believe to be true.
‎
‎But no one dies for what they know is false.
‎
‎THEOLOGICAL EXEGESIS: WHY THE EMPTY GRAVE MATTERS.
‎
‎Dr Abel Damina’s teaching emphasis, the power of Christianity is not in physical artifacts but in the finished work of Christ.
‎
‎The resurrection is not just an event—it is the validation of redemption.
‎
‎Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
‎— (Romans 4:25)
‎
‎This means:
‎The resurrection is proof that sin has been dealt with
‎It confirms that salvation is complete
‎It establishes the believer’s new identity in Christ.
‎
‎CHRIST IS NOT IN A GRAVE — HE IS IN THE BELIEVER.
‎
‎This is where many miss it.
‎The focus is not where Jesus was, but where He is.
‎
‎Christ in you, the hope of glory.
‎— (Colossians 1:27)
‎
‎Because I live, ye shall live also.
‎— (John 14:19)
‎
‎The believer does not relate to Christ through a tomb, but through union with Him in resurrection.
‎
‎CONCLUSION
‎Christianity is not:
‎A shrine ❌
‎A monument ❌
‎A sacred burial site ❌
‎It is:
‎A resurrected Christ ✅
‎A living reality ✅
‎A finished work ✅
‎
‎That is why believers do not travel to graves to pray.
‎
‎Our Savior is not in a grave.
‎He is alive.
‎
‎And as long as human philosophy resists the simplicity of the gospel, many will remain confused—not because the truth is hidden, but because pride resists revelation.
‎
‎For the preaching of the cross is… the power of God.
‎— (1 Corinthians 1:18

Very correct sir... Jesus is winning...

As a believer when you hear something like 1,2,3,4,5, to 10 reasons or steps why this and that.
Example:.
To seek the face of God.
To God to answer your Prayers.
To be in the higher realm.
To speak with God.
To interact with Angels.
To defeat Satan.
To win in life.
To have a victory in life.
Or your problem to turn around..

My brothers and sisters run 🏃.

Because GOD doesn't give a condition, when it comes to answering prayers, healing, physical blessing and spiritual blessing.

He had given to you all, even before you asked for it...

Don't be deceived by charlatans

THE AUTHORITY PROBLEM — VISIONS VS SCRIPTURE.

The Christian faith is not validated by private revelations about who “made heaven” or “missed heaven.”

2 Timothy 3:16–17 — All scripture is given by inspiration of God…

Any claim that names individuals and declares their eternal destiny is already outside the authority of the gospel.

No man has access to another man’s eternal standing in Christ.

1 Corinthians 4:5 — Judge nothing before the time… the Lord will bring to light the hidden things.

So right away, that narrative is not sound doctrine—it is speculation presented as revelation.

SALVATION IS NOT BASED ON “HOLINESS PERFORMANCE”

The biggest error in that message is the idea that holiness determines who makes heaven.
That is not the gospel.

Ephesians 2:8–9 — For by grace are ye saved through faith… not of works…

Salvation is by grace, not by personal moral attainment.

Holiness in the New Testament is first a nature, not a lifestyle you struggle to maintain to qualify for heaven.

1 Corinthians 1:30 — Christ is made unto us… righteousness and sanctification.

The believer is holy because of Christ, not in order to be accepted by God.

MISINTERPRETATION OF HEBREWS 12:14

That verse is often weaponized:

Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.

In proper context, “holiness” there is not talking about human effort to qualify for heaven—it is referring to the sanctified life that flows from being in Christ.

You don’t pursue holiness to be saved; you live holy because you are saved.

REAR-ENDED GOSPEL VS CHRIST-CENTERED GOSPEL.

That write-up is built on fear, not faith.
It says:

Check your life or you may miss heaven.
Even pastors are not safe
“Hidden sins can disqualify you.

But the gospel says:
Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

John 5:24 — He that believes… has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation.
The believer is not living in fear of missing heaven.
Eternal life is a present possession, not a future gamble.

MANY WILL SAY LORD, LORD… MISUNDERSTOOD MATTHEW 7:22–23.

This is not talking about genuine believers losing salvation.

These were people who trusted in:

their works

their miracles

their performance

Notice they said:

Have we not done…?

They trusted what they did, not what Christ did.
That is the difference.

YOU CANNOT BUILD DOCTRINE ON EMOTIONAL STORIES.

Naming individuals like:
Paul Enenche
David Oyedepo
Jerry Eze
and declaring their eternal fate is not only unscriptural—it is dangerous.

The gospel never authorizes believers to:

announce who is in hell

announce who missed heaven

validate dreams as doctrine.

THE REAL GOSPEL (Clarity)

Man’s problem is not “lack of holiness effort.”
Man’s problem is sin nature, and the solution is Christ’s finished work.

2 Corinthians 5:21 — He was made sin… that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

You don’t become righteous by repentance rituals or emotional crying.

You become righteous by faith in Christ.

WHAT THEN IS TRUE HOLINESS?

Holiness is:

your identity in Christ

expressed in godly living

produced by the Spirit

Galatians 5:16 — Walk in the Spirit…

Not:
fear-driven self-examination.

obsession with “missing heaven”
or panic repentance

Final Word.
That message is not a holiness revival—it is a mixture of fear, law, and sensationalism.

The gospel is not:

Try harder or you may be lost.

The gospel is:
It is finished. — John 19:30

And because it is finished:

The believer is secure

The believer is righteous

The believer grows, not to be saved—but because he is saved.
Thank you.
