Pastor Abel Damina has stated that there is no biblical scripture that guarantees that people who give will never lack, describing the belief as misleading.
According to him, the idea that “givers never lack” is not supported by the Bible, adding that anyone who promotes such a claim is being dishonest. He argued that giving does not automatically produce wealth, but rather creates a temporary loss that must be replaced through work.

“There is no scripture in the Bible that says when you give, you will never lack. Anybody who claims that givers never lack is a fr@ud. Nobody prospers by giving. When you give, you lack because it leaves you and creates a vacuum, then you have to work again to recover it, and sometimes you never recover it,” he said.
He explained that his teaching was aimed at correcting what he described as a “mindset issue,” adding that many people were conditioned to believe that financial success comes solely through giving to God.

“Our mindset was wired to think that we only get rich when we give to God. I kept questioning it because I saw people who were diligently giving yet remained broke. I never saw anyone who became a billionaire simply because they tithed,” he added.
Damina further stated that those who became billionaires while tithing did so because they had jobs or businesses, not because of their tithes.
“Even those that became billionaires while tithing did so because they had jobs and businesses. That is why they became billionaires, not because they tithed,” he said.

He concluded that blessings are not dependent on tithing or offerings, but on the fact that the earth itself is already structured with divine provision.
“God did not bless you because you gave tithe or anything. He blessed because He has already blessed. The reason you have jobs, turn trees into paper, extract crude oil is because God has already blessed the planet,” he said.
