Leader of Abel Damina Ministries International, Pastor Abel Damina, has indicated that during his youthful days, he relied solely on the teachings he received from others without verifying the information independently.

He admitted to a lack of critical thinking about the beliefs and doctrines he shared with others while preaching in an interaction with Metro TV journalist, who is the host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere.

Pastor Abel Damina made this statement in connection with the payment of tithe.

"When I came into the Ministry. I came into the Ministry learning from those ahead of me. So whatever they taught, I taught. Whatever they did, I did. As a young pastor growing, I didn't check the Bible got myself. I just copied from what I saw them do. I read the Bible but not to the lenses I was supposed to read with. Because all I knew was all I was taught but I grew in Ministry and I began to check somethings."

He admitted to preaching to people to bring their tithe "radically". I asked people to pay their tithe..

When asked by Mr Adom-Octhere whether he received complaints from his congregants about paying their title and not seeing results, he said "some of them, me inclusive."

"I was paying my title and wasn't seeing results."

He sought the context of results and Mr Adom-Otchere explained that it focuses on "opening the doors of heaven and pour out blessing to you."

The pastor replied, "99 percent tithes have rooms in their houses that have not been filled and are overflowing like Malachi promised.

He noted that Malachi's comments on tithe were not addressed to believers but to priests who were collecting tithe and not paying tithe.
