The founder of Abel Damina Ministries and Power City International, Pastor Abel Damina, has declared that smoking cigarette and drinking alcohol are not sins.
Damina, however, said he is not encouraging people to take up the vices because they have side effects.
The controversial Pastor disclosed this during his New Yearβs Eve sermon on Tuesday.
According to Damina: βIβve told you alcohol is not a sin. Iβve told you cigar is not a sin. If you like, put it on newspaper headline, I said it.
βAm I saying you should smoke? You should have sense from your fatherβs house to know that cigar will cut short your life.
βAm I saying you should drink alcohol? You should know that if you drink alcohol, you will lie down inside a gutter. Your shirt and trousers will disappear. You should have the sense to know that.β
