Ex-Dunamis Pastor Claims Healing Miracles Are Staged, Shares Frustrations with Church Practices
Abraham Daniel, a former pastor at Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), has made shocking claims about the church’s practices, particularly regarding the healing miracles attributed to its Senior Pastor, Paul Enenche. In a revealing interview with Kaa Truths, Daniel expressed his dissatisfaction with the church’s approach to healing and deliverance, suggesting that the miracles performed were not genuine.
Daniel shared that his decision to leave the church stemmed from frustrations with the growing number of individuals seeking healing after services, which he felt indicated that the healing process was ineffective. He explained that following every healing and deliverance session, the number of people in need of healing only seemed to increase.
He likened the atmosphere during these services to a high-pressure situation, comparing it to the reaction of a stadium crowd when faced with the presence of a dangerous animal. “When people see a large crowd, they act out of desperation. It’s like hearing there’s a lion nearby; even someone with a disability might try to leap over a fence,” Daniel said.
Daniel continued to explain that the huge crowds often led to an environment of intense pressure, making people act in ways they otherwise might not. “I would tell you that healing is a business. With all due respect to him and to Dunamis Church, I have nothing to lose or gain, but the miracles don’t happen. Let me give you an example: after healing services, we have more people asking for healing than those who initially came for it.”
He further expressed how the church’s leadership failed to address the growing frustration of the congregation. “After the services, people are still desperate to meet ‘Daddy’ for prayers. As pastors, we are left to deal with the aftermath, and it’s overwhelming. People bring others to see ‘Daddy’ and demand immediate help.”
Daniel also highlighted the disconnect between the atmosphere during services and the reality outside. “When you’re on stage, the energy is different from when you face the real world. The emotional manipulation through lights, music, and crowd hype creates a different experience. But when the event is over, you’re left with the truth,” he said.
He referred to what he calls “environmental influence,” drawing a parallel to how music concerts can temporarily distract someone from their discomfort, only for the pain to return once the crowd disperses. “For example, if you’re at a Burna Boy or Michael Jackson concert and you have a headache, the excitement can make you forget about it. But once the music stops, you feel it again.”
He also used the analogy of a dangerous situation, like a tiger being present in a stadium, to explain how people under pressure might act in unexpected ways. “In a panic situation, even someone who’s physically challenged might do the unthinkable. That’s what I call the environmental effect,” he concluded.
