A United States-based Professor Emakoji Ayikoye, has fired back at those raising eyebrows over the construction of a 100,000 capacity worship centre by the Dunamis Int’l Gospel Centre.
The erudite Prof said those criticisng the record-breaking project were only ignorant and do not know what the set man, Dr. Paul Enenche and his wife, Bekcy represent.
He insisted that it is highly wrong for them to criticize people they know nothing about.
He voiced his conviction thus.
THE GLORY DOME 100,000 SEATER BIGGEST MEGA CHURCH ON EARTH – DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTER NIGERIA – MY TAKE by Professor Emakoji Ayikoye (Lives and lectures In The USA)
First, if you are NOT a Christian, you won’t understand it, and therefore, you are unfortunately, unfit to CONDEMN or CRITICIZE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GLORY DOME IN ABUJA.
Second, if you don’t know PASTORS PAUL and BECKY ENENECHE personally, and if you don’t know the history of the church and their sacrifices for the church, you ARE UNFIT to criticize them and the exploit of building this mega church – the largest on earth!
Third, permit me to say, I know Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche personally. I had the privilege to work for them for 1 year, when the Church was small; if I remember correctly, it was in 1999 to 2000. I have also had the opportunity to meet with them at least, twice, on their preaching engagements to the U.S. some years back.
BOTH MEDICAL DOCTORS TURNED PREACHERS ARE EXTREMELY SIMPLE, HUMBLE, DISCIPLINED AND FOCUSSED on their assignment on earth. The man, Pastor Paul Enenche is deadly serious almost every minute of the day. The loyalty, support and partnership he enjoys from his wife is uncommon!
Don’t get fooled by the flamboyancy you see, I CAN AUTHORITATIVELY CONFIRM TO YOU – DR. Paul
Enenche is NOT DRIVEN by money or material things. His passion is to see lives and destinies transformed.
LET ME SHARE MY TWO ENCOUNTERS WITH PASTOR PAUL AND BECKY ENENCHE WITH YOU ON TWO OF THEIR VISITS TO THE U.S.A. Where I live.
FIRST VISIT:
Both Pastor Paul and Becky arrived and stayed NOT in a Hotel, but at a very modest relative’s home somewhere in New York. I visited them there. They eat very simple food. THE ONLY THING THEY WANTED, which I am aware of during this visit was – IPOD loaded with gospel songs and digital bible. They gave me the money to buy one each for them and I did and loaded what they wanted in them. The next day, I think, we drove to the neighboring state of New Jersey, where they had to visit someone before they departed for Nigeria. They weren’t given to roaming around for sight seeing, visiting restaurants or taking pictures. This was their first visit.
SECOND VISIT:
On their second visit, they had preaching engagement in New York. This time around, they were lodged in a very MODEST HOTEL – I think by their host church. I came to see them. Three things happened that humanized these great pastors to me. This is besides the fact that they stayed in a very modest hotel.
1) The first day I came by, I met Pastor Becky (fondly called mommy) while he was praying in bedroom. As we sat in the living area, he finally came out. We talked for a while. A lover of music, he was listening in part to his daughter, Deborah’s unreleased songs when he pulled out one of his EAR PIECE AND ASKED ME TO LISTEN TO THE SONGS. I was beyond SHOCKED. This action struck me deeply for a highly revered Nigerian pastor as he. I saw and appreciated his extreme simplicity through this action.
2) The next day, Pastor Becky and I, drove from their hotel to buy some supplies that she needed. He didn’t come with us. He chose to stay in the hotel to pray. However, he walked with us – a little farther away from the front of the hotel entrance to where my car was packed. While walking the streets of Manhattan with Pastor Becky, I couldn’t believe her extreme simplicity either! As well as Pastor Paul (fondly called daddy).
On this second trip, I discovered what most people may not know about Pastor Paul Enenche. HE DOES NOT REALLY CARE MUCH FOR MONEY. IN FACT, VERY OFTEN HE DOES NOT CARRY MONEY ON HIM. I got to know that HE HAS EVEN TRAVELLED INTERNATIONALLY NOT REALIZING HE DIDN’T CARRY MONEY ON HIM UNTIL HE BOARDED THE FLIGHT.
My limited knowledge and experiences with Pastor Paul Enenche leads me to believe, the man is too focused and too disciplined, that he won’t be distracted by money.
Therefore, DON’T CRITICIZE WHOM YOU DON’T KNOW.
While I don’t personally provide financial support for the building of mega church edifices over the building of human lives, I WILL PROVIDE ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR MEGA CHURCH CONSTRUCTIONS IN NIGERIA. I will also ECONOMICALLY JUSTIFY THE CONSTRUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GLORY DOME by Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche in NIGERIA.
CONGRATULATIONS TO PASTOR PAUL AND BECKY ENENCHE! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DUNAMIS FAMILY! CONGRATULATIONS TO NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MENTORSHIP OF BISHOP OYEDEPO OVER PASTORS PAUL AND BECKY ENENCHE.
