Founder of Power City International (Power Chapel), Abel Damina, says clapping for Jesus Christ is a wrong practice.

The cleric stated this during a church programme, noting that clapping in church is not in line with the Christian doctrine.

Pastor Abel said that in the Bible, to clap signifies mockery, whereas when people clap in accordance with earthly activities and understanding, then it can be seen as a means of celebration.

He added that when it comes to giving glory to Jesus, we do not clap, rather, we lift up our holy hands to honor Him.

According to the cleric, we don’t worship God based on our terms but on his terms, so we must unlearn some of the things we have learnt over time.
