“When it comes to giving in church, whether in form of offering or any other form, just rule out your mind from attracting blessings from God through the offerings you give because God does not enter into a transactional blessing with his children. Teachings like ‘Your offering takes away your suffering’ is a false teaching. Beware of them. Such statements are craftily coined by some of us on the pulpit, to play on the ignorance of our listeners.”

Dr Damina explained that the best way to give in church, as a christian, is to give cheerfully with love because ‘God loves a cheerful giver’.
