Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has strongly denied allegations of using church funds for personal gain, insisting that he has never accessed the church’s financial accounts or spent proceeds from church materials on personal items.
The cleric made the clarification during a recent church service, where he addressed public perceptions surrounding the wealth and lifestyle of prominent pastors. Enenche stated that his personal needs are met through what he described as divine provision, not church resources.
According to him, proceeds from the sale of church materials such as books, CDs, and devotional publications are strictly reserved for ministry work. He emphasised that none of the income from these materials has been used to purchase personal items, including clothing, accessories, or other lifestyle needs.
“Many people don’t know our secret. Some people will think, ‘this suit is church money, this trouser is church money, this watch is church money,’” Enenche said. “The church’s checkbook has not been in our possession from day one till now. The CD that is sold in this church—I have not used one naira of it to buy a tie.”
He further stressed that even proceeds from his widely circulated devotional, Seed of Destiny, are not spent on personal expenses. “Not one naira of it has been used to buy socks,” he added.
Beyond addressing financial matters, Enenche used the sermon to urge Christians to shift their focus from material possessions to spiritual growth and service to God. He encouraged believers to live purpose-driven lives anchored in faith, sacrifice, and dedication to the kingdom of God, rather than chasing public validation or material symbols of success.
“Let’s stop living for things. Let’s start living for God. Let’s start living for what matters,” he said, adding that a life committed to spiritual values ultimately attracts true fulfilment and impact.
