Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, has dismissed claims that he uses church funds to support his personal lifestyle, describing such assumptions as false and misleading.
Speaking during a church service, Enenche said he has never had access to the church’s financial accounts from the very beginning of the ministry. He stressed that church offerings and proceeds from materials sold in the church, including books, CDs, and devotionals, have never been used to meet his personal needs.
According to him, even materials he personally authors, such as Seed of Destiny and other publications, have not contributed a single naira to his clothing or lifestyle. He emphasised that church funds are strictly reserved for ministry and kingdom-related work.
Addressing public perceptions, Enenche criticised the belief that whatever he wears or owns must have been bought with church money.
He said:
“Many people don’t know our secret. Some people will think, ‘Oh, this suit I am wearing now is church money. This trouser is church money. This watch is church money.’ That is mumuciousness of sense.”
He further explained that he has never had control over church finances, saying:
“Church checkbook is not in our possession from day one till now.”
Speaking on proceeds from church materials, Enenche stated:
“CDs that are sold in this church, I have not used one naira of it to buy a tie. Seed of Destiny, the monthly devotion that I write, not one naira of it has been used to buy socks. How much more church offering?”
The cleric explained that his needs are met through divine provision rather than church resources. In his words:
“If it is something you can say is legitimately yours, God supplies the things we need. He supplies them directly.”
He also revealed that he regularly gives out his personal belongings, noting:
“I gave about two hundred and something suits out in one day.”
Enenche urged Christians to stop living for material possessions and public opinion, encouraging a shift toward spiritual priorities. He said:
“Let’s stop living for things. Let’s start living for God. Let’s start living for what matters. Let’s start living for the kingdom.”
He concluded by calling on believers to live purposeful lives grounded in faith, sacrifice, and commitment to God, adding:
“You will come to the point where the things people are looking for will start looking for you.”
