Dunamis Church replies man demanding Pastor Enenche refund his Tithes
Vondigest reports that one of the regional overseers of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Ezekiel I. Pius has replied a man identified as Maazi Chukwudiaso Onyema who recently demanded the church and Pastor Enenche to refund all the tithes he paid so far since he joined the church.
Dr Paul Enenche is the founding pastor of DIGC.
In a viral video, Onyema said “I’m hungry, give me my tithe back”, and explained that he joined the church in 2008 and has been paying his tithes.
Onyema claimed he was not in the right frame of mind when he paid his tithes.
He also alleged that he has been suffering financially despite tithing.
While not mentioning the name of the man calling for his tithes, Pastor Ezekiel posted a write-up on Friday, tagged “IN RESPECT OF THE MAN DEMANDING THE REFUND OF HIS TITHE.”
Onyema was advised by the cleric to seek help from the church and not try to blackmail the church of God and giving channels approved by the Bible.
The post reads, “The church of God is God’s embassy representing the Kingdom of God on earth.
“The church exists to spread the good news of God’s Kingdom, and demonstrate God’s love and goodness to mankind.
“The church is therefore an agency for the administration of God’s welfare package to humanity.
“Every genuine church exists to give and not to take, to help and not to hinder, to enrich and not to impoverish, to feed and not to starve her members.
“In the same manner, the instructions of God as contained in the Holy Scripture are for the profit of man. God instructs us to our profit (Isaiah 48:17).
“No teaching of God’s Word by a genuine pastor is intended to extort money from people or cause losses to them.
“Furthermore, the earth and the riches thereof belongs to God (Psalm 24:1).
“God is too rich to depend on man. Therefore, no genuine church or servant of God is after the resources of the people.
“The people come to church to be helped spiritually, physically, emotionally, materially, financially, maritally, etc.
“It is therefore preposterous, callous, and devilish for someone to call out a church in a media for the refund of tithes allegedly paid willingly and not by coercion. This is an unwarranted assault on the church.
“It is the height of insanity and foolhardiness, and the consequences may be too grave for him to bear, except for the mercy of God.
“Even if the man in question was not a Christian, and he is stranded, in dire need of assistance, he could be assisted by the church.
“And if he is a member, the church would not ask for his tithe records before assisting him.
“The pastor who is now the target of this man’s blackmail is known for his impeccable integrity.
“As touching givings in church, they are done based on personal conviction and leading, no coercion or persuasion involved.
