Pastor Abel Damina’s message is a deep exploration of spiritual alignment, discipleship, and the dangers of division within the church. His teaching is based on 1 Corinthians 1:11-17, where Paul addresses contentions in the Corinthian church. Let’s break down the key themes and insights in his message: • 1. The Issue of Division in the Church (1 Corinthians 1:11-12) • Pastor Damina explains that in the church at Corinth, believers divided themselves into different groups based on which leader they followed: • Pauline followers (those who identified with Apostle Paul’s teachings). • Apollos’ followers (those who identified with Apollos, known for his eloquence and deep teaching). • Cephas’ (Peter’s) followers (those who followed the teachings of Peter). • Christocentric believers (those who claimed allegiance to Christ alone). • • Paul rebuked this division, emphasizing that Christ is not divided. The speaker warns that such divisions still exist today, where believers attach themselves to different pastors or ministries rather than focusing on Christ. • Key Takeaway: • The church should not be divided by human leadership but united in Christ. • • --- • 2. Spiritual Fatherhood and Discipleship (1 Corinthians 4:15) • Paul tells the Corinthians, For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. • Pastor Damina teaches that: • An instructor (babysitter) is someone who provides temporary guidance. • A father is one who nourishes, builds, and takes responsibility for spiritual growth. • • What does it mean to have a spiritual father? • A father provides consistent teaching, correction, and guidance. • The spiritual father is responsible for equipping and maturing believers. • Calling someone father in a spiritual sense means recognizing their role in building and discipling you. • • Misinterpretation of Call no man your father (Matthew 23:9): • Some argue that Jesus forbids calling anyone father. • But Pastor Damina clarifies that Jesus was referring to false religious leaders who mislead people. • Even Jesus had an earthly father (Joseph) and was under his guidance. • • Key Takeaway: • Having a spiritual father is biblical because discipleship requires accountability and mentorship. • • --- • 3. The Danger of Multiple Spiritual Influences • Pastor Damina warns about spiritual instability caused by following too many different teachers and doctrines. • Just as in Corinth, where people followed multiple leaders, today’s believers often listen to various preachers without commitment to one voice. • He stresses that God does not speak in voices but in a voice. • Multiple influences can lead to confusion, inconsistency, and lack of growth. • • Exposure to too many influences can cause spiritual instability. • 4. The Role of the Local Church • Pastor Damina highlights that every New Testament epistle was written to a local church: • Romans → Church in Rome • Corinthians → Church in Corinth • Galatians → Church in Galatia • Ephesians → Church in Ephesus • Philippians → Church in Philippi • Thessalonians → Church in Thessalonica • Even Hebrews, James, Peter, John, and Revelation were directed to churches! • • 📖 Are you following too many preachers? Is your spiritual life unstable? The Apostle Paul warned the Corinthian church about division and multiple influences (1 Corinthians 1:12-13). Today, many believers follow different pastors, prophets, and teachers—leading to confusion. But what does the Bible really say about spiritual fatherhood? • 🔥 In this eye-opening teaching, you will learn: • ✅ Why Paul said, You have many instructors, but not many fathers (1 Cor. 4:15) • ✅ The dangers of following too many spiritual voices • ✅ What Jesus really meant when He said, Call no man father (Matthew 23:9) • ✅ How to recognize a true spiritual father • ✅ Why discipleship and commitment to one voice are key to spiritual growth • 🚨 Are You a Spiritual Bastard?
