Dr. Paul Enenche of Dunamis Ministries shared a viral story about a 1978 event where a billionaire businessman doubled donations made by his congregation. Enenche emphasized the power of tithing, revealing that the man had prospered by giving 90% of his income.
In a viral video, Dr. Paul Enenche, General Overseer of Dunamis Ministries, shared a fascinating story that has captured the attention of social media. Enenche recounted an event from 1978 when a man approached the congregation, offering to double any money they gave. The congregation, about 17,000 people strong, collectively donated $3.5 million in cash. In return, the man wrote them a check for $7 million.
The billionaire businessman, when asked about his wealth, explained that he had started his business with just $500 three years earlier. He attributed his success to a radical commitment to tithing: while most people give 10%, he gave 90% of his earnings. According to him, his repeated acts of generosity led to God's blessings, which fueled his wealth.
Enenche’s story, however, has sparked debate online. Some social media users have questioned the plausibility of raising $3.5 million in 1978, noting that it would mean each person in attendance would have to donate an average of $205, an amount that seems unlikely for that time. Despite these doubts, many Christians insist that the event happened as described.
Enenche did not name the billionaire, but social media speculation suggests it could have been either John D. Rockefeller or R.G. LeTourneau, both of whom were known for their substantial wealth and generous tithing practices.
