    Paul Enenche: I don’t use Church funds for personal expenses

    Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre has denied using church funds for personal gain, stating that he has never accessed the church’s financial accounts or used proceeds from church materials for personal items.

    Speaking during a church service, he emphasised that his needs are met through divine provision, not church resources.

    Enenche explained that proceeds from his books, CDs, and other materials are not used for personal expenses, including clothing or accessories.

    He stressed that church offerings are reserved for ministry purposes only.

    The cleric urged believers to prioritise spiritual growth, service to God, and commitment to the church, rather than focusing on material possessions or public perceptions.

    He encouraged Christians to live with purpose, aligning their lives with values that reflect faith, sacrifice, and dedication to the kingdom of God.

    In his sermon, Enenche said, “Many people don’t know our secret. Some people will think, oh, this suit is wearing now is church money. This trouser is church money. This watch is, ah, church money. That is the mumuciousness of sense. 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. Seed of destiny, monthly devotion, I write it.

    “Not one naira of it has been used to buy socks. How many more church offerings? If the one that you can say is legitimately yours. God, the things we need, he supplies.

    “He supplies them like that, directly. I gave about 200, and something suits me in one day. Let’s stop living for things. Let’s stop. Let’s start living for God. Let’s start living in reality. Let’s start living for what matters. Let’s start living for the kingdom. And you will come to the point where they think that people are looking for. They die after you. They rush after you.”

    Founder of Dunamis International Gospel Centre Paul Enenche has stated that he married his wife, Dr. Becky Enenche, despite her unpolished appearance when they met. 

    In a viral video, Enenche emphasised that he was led by faith rather than physical attraction.

    He described Becky, then a medical student, as carefree in her appearance, with “permanently plaited” hair and “shapeless” clothing like A-line skirts and jump-up sleeves.

    “If sight was leading me, I wouldn’t marry my wife. I told my children the other day and they were all laughing. And she told them herself. Why? Because at that time, she never cared for nothing. She just was anyhow. That is, medical student: didn’t care for anything. The hair was plaited mat permanently. She wore any dress available: shapeless”, he said.

    Becky, present in the congregation, laughed and confirmed his statement.
