Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, sparked controversy when he stated that a bag of rice he bought for his family started increasing in quantity after his wife tithed one-tenth of it.
He shared that even after they consumed some of the rice, the remaining amount continued to multiply, surprising his wife and prompting her to donate the surplus rice.
He said, “When my wife and I got married, she was tithing food. She would remove one-tenth of the food and give it out. One day, we had rice that did not finish. The more we took out of it, the more it increased.
“She became afraid at the end and dashed out the remaining. ‘What kind of food is this that would not finish’, she exclaimed.”
Pastor Enenche stressed his dedication to tithing, revealing that he has faithfully given one-tenth of his income since his university days and plans to uphold this practice.
He recounted receiving a monthly allowance of N30 as a student, of which he consistently set aside N3 as tithe.
He clarified that his commitment to tithing is based on biblical teachings rather than aspirations to become a pastor.
“We have been practitioners of this thing (tithes) since 1986, from the higher institution. N30 was what was given to me in a month, and N3 was my tithe. And, it has continued endlessly.
“I am telling you what I was taught. I was not doing it, because I wanted to be a pastor; I saw it in the scripture. When a man has evidence, it is not at the mercy of one who argues.”
