Something remarkable happened during the Kebbi State Healing and Deliverance Crusade in Benin Kebbi. The state government offered a whopping ₦30,000,000 to support the crusade, but the senior pastor graciously turned it down. Instead, he asked that the money be used to care for orphanages and the homeless. What a heart of gold! In a time when many would rush to collect, this man of God chose compassion over comfort. God bless him richly! 🙌🔥

Pastor Enenche rejects N30m donation from Kebbi governor

The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has rejected a N30 million donation offered by the Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, during a crusade organised by the church in the state.

The gesture occurred at the Kebbi Healing and Deliverance Crusade, where a representative of the governor, Kebbi’s Commissioner for Social Duties, Zayyanu Umar Aliero, announced the cash gift on behalf of the governor.

Aliero told the gathering that the N30m was approved as a donation to the crusade’s organising committee and was available in cash.

Aliero said, “Our Governor, His Excellency Dr Nasir Idris, a faithful Governor and also a Comrade Governor, who you all know is the only Comrade Governor in this country. He has therefore graciously approved the donation of the sum of 30 million naira to this gathering.

“That is to the organising committee. His Excellency has approved the donation of a sum of 30 million naira to the organising committee, which you know that whenever His Excellency makes a donation, he doesn’t leave without bringing that donation in cash. So before I leave this stage, I want to present that sum of 30 million naira in cash.”

However, Enenche declined the offer, taking to the stage to urge that the money be redirected to charitable causes.

“If there is anything like orphanage, if there is anything like that, at your discretion, please apply this amount of money to it. No. It will not be received,” the senior pastor said.

Speaking later, Enenche explained the church’s stance, emphasising that public funds should be used solely for public causes.

“We are one of those who believe that government money should be used for government projects and government things should be used for government things; and church money should be used for church things, not mixed together.

“That is what we did that is what we do. As small as the Glory Dome is right there, government money is not in it. From land to the building to everything,” he said.

He added that the body of Christ should “trust God for supernatural supplies.”

He suggested that the donation be handed over to a government-approved religious body instead, such as the Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board or the Christian Association of Nigeria.

“This is so that we can retain our dignity as a body of Christ; retain our dignity as a church, and say what we need to say when we need to say it. And be able to say what we need to say when we need to say it,” he said.

Aliero, speaking after the rejection, acknowledged Enenche’s position.

“They don’t accept it because whatever he is doing, he is doing it for the sake of God. We really appreciate and we really thank him for what he is doing in our state,” he said.

That's how to identify a man with financial integrity..

, Show business,if you know, you know

Northerne oligarchs are very phoney people, why give a rich man 30million when your people are hungry and doing almajiri?

Those people way are very strange.

Would be foolish of him, a billionaire pastor allowing a Muslim politician to blackmail him over a common 30 million.

He is wise.

Great one from Pastor Enenche here. They should used that money to sponsored the less privileged ones in schools and vocational skills

See the huge crowd that came for the crusade.

He did the right thing. If it were to be you in his shoes,I know you will gladly collect it.. 😁

There's nothing great about what the Pastor did. Why not collect the money, use it and care for orphanages and homeless.

The pastor is just seeking attention!

There's nothing wrong with a governor supporting the work of God. N30m isn't a lot of money. However, what I have a problem with is a government spending billions to support those going to Saudi Arabia to stone Satan that doesn't die!

Na today?

.........................

30 MILLION NAIRA WEY ENENCHE DEY MAKE EVERY MINUTE NA HIM DIS GOVERNOR THINK SEY HE FIT USE AM BRIBE AM

This rejection of money is what caused the fall out of Enenche and former governor Ortom of Benue state.

You are right. Just that charity begins at home

It is simple because it is public. Donu no how many this guys dey accept for private

Its just SHOW, let him start rejecting tithes and offerings in church too. TELL MEMBERS NOT TO DONATE IN CHURCH AGAIN. The Governor has been helping the less privileged in their own.

The problem wasn't really about the money but the manner it was given.

Na because the money too small for the pastor eye .

Smart. The government shouldn't have made it publicly. E gey reason. Not necessarily integrity but experience.
One, that money is not physically there. If he doesn't reject it, it can become audio. Maybe the government wants to pay the money in December or in batches, some people will be helping him calculate and budget the money before leaving Kebbi, etc.

If he had collected it and told you later that he used it for orphanages, will you believe him?

Same you, will say it is a lie,,, you will say; why did he collect it in the first place??

He Rejected it Because it Was Given to Him In The Open, If It Was Coded,E For Collect Am

Complete show business my dear. If he had done that without the cameras he would have spent minutes if not hours praying for him.



We know when people play to the gallery

They're one and thesame category of people ..
Pastors and politicians are thesame .
Nigerians are suffering yet a said governor is giving out 30million to a pastor to enrich him the more.
The pastor is not honorable to me , the money was only given at the wrong place .

I agree, the man is wise.

Still doesn't take away the fact that he did a lot of philanthropy in Kebbi state.

Praise him for what he did, don't focus on criticizing him for the money.

Myrepublic:

I will surely and gladly collect it from the Governor

where is benin kebbi

All religious leaders have been complicit in the rot experienced in the country.

No serious country changing matter are been talked about on the pulpit

Why is a Muslim "Donating" to a Christian? I Mean 30M will do a Lot in the Lives of Many Almajiri Boys...

Give Apostle Suleiman a.k.a OTOBOLIZER . I want check something

It’s better that he didn’t collect it before see finish go enter

You know that whenever His Excellency makes a donation, he doesn’t leave without bringing that donation in cash. So before I leave this stage, I want to present that sum of 30 million naira in cash.”

What did I just read?

So the governor of a state goes about making donations in tens of millions in cash? I mean a governor that should be promoting cashless economy .

Na wa o

My GOD!! Nothing one wouldn't hear on Nairaland forum, STONE SATAN ??

The man was not supposed to state the amount publicly, but that's the best he can do as a politician.
Pastor Eneche understood their handwriting on the wall, and he quickly rejected it.
