The founder of Power City International, Pastor Abel Damina, has sparked reactions after sharing his views on feminism, marriage, and submission during a church service.
Speaking to his congregation, Damina described feminism as a positive ideology when it focuses on securing equal rights and opportunities for women in politics, the economy, and society.
“Feminism is ladies fighting for equal rights in society, which is ideal. It’s a very wonderful ideology, and it should be like that,” he said.
However, the cleric argued that some women have taken the concept beyond the pursuit of equality, adopting attitudes that reject male authority while still desiring marriage.
“If a lady doesn’t want to submit to a husband, don’t marry. It’s not a sin for you to be alone and d+e single. Don’t marry, because if you marry, you will submit one way or the other,” he stated.
Damina further linked the issue of submission in marriage to Christian faith, saying that believers are first called to submit themselves to Christ.
“What is salvation? Submission. It’s no longer I, but Christ. That’s submission. When you have submitted to Christ, submitting to your husband is not going to be an issue,” he said.
The preacher also claimed that resistance to submission in marriage reflects a deeper spiritual issue, adding, “Any lady’s problem with submission, she still has a problem with Christ. In fact, she’s far from Christ.”
