Daniel Ejeh Abraham, a former pastor at Dunamis International Gospel Centre who left the Christian faith in 2018, has stirred controversy with a recent Facebook post. Abraham, who now identifies as a humanist, shared an observation about Satan since he parted ways with Jesus Christ.
Former Pastor Claims Satan No Longer Bothers Him
In his post dated May 4, the Benue State native wrote that Satan has left him alone since he abandoned Christianity. He stated, "Since the day I left Jesus Christ, Satan left me alone." Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is traditionally viewed in Abrahamic religions as a malevolent spiritual being opposed to God.
Abraham's statement drew sharp criticism from many Christians online. Some expressed hope he would eventually return to the faith, while others accused him of aligning with the devil.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Several Facebook users responded to Abraham's post. Jesse Mark commented, "The same Jesus you left, you shall return to someday. That's the faith of all creation. But I pray you realize this truth before your breath is taken off from this side of life."
Abimiku Caleb remarked, "Sure na! The devil has no problem with those who are not his! You're the devil so, why should he be concerned about you sir?"
Ramsey Abujubuju added, "To believe in existence of God, you must believe in existence of Satan as well. The two come as a complete package."
Promise Mopane referenced scripture, asking, "Of course, if Satan is fighting against himself, how can his kingdom stand? Do you know these scriptures?"
Evangelist Lawrence Ayuk said, "You are right, Satan cannot fight his son. As you left Jesus you became his son so he won't fight you."
Alex Hanifa Simon expressed confusion, while Charles A Paul likened Abraham to a demon, stating, "You don ever see Satan dey disturb a demon? Why are you expecting him to disturb you? When fisherman use hook catch fish, e no need feed am again. Driver no fit disturb conductor because of transport fare because na the same bus they dey. You and Satan don join the same coalition."
Since leaving Christianity, Abraham has been vocal in criticizing his former faith. In a previous report, he disclosed details about pastors' salaries and even pierced his ears, stating he wanted to provoke Christians. He flaunted his dreadlocks and hinted at getting a tattoo, saying his wife bought him the earrings and that his adornments would make it easier for him to go to hell.
