Pastor Paul Enenche Raises Alarm Over Nigeria’s Economic Crisis, Calls for Divine Intervention

Renowned preacher and Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has expressed deep anguish over the growing economic hardship in Nigeria, describing the situation as a spiritual crisis.

In a passionate message shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Pastor Enenche painted a bleak picture of the country's current state, saying Nigeria is “under a blanket of sorcery and darkness.” He likened the nation's silent suffering to an evil spell that has numbed citizens to conditions that should stir outrage.

“There’s a blanket of sorcery and darkness over this nation; an evil spell making people tolerate what should provoke outrage,” he wrote.

Pastor Enenche pointed out how dire things have become, not just for the average citizen but even within the church. According to him, more and more worshippers are no longer seeking spiritual guidance after services—but lining up for help with basic needs such as food, rent, school fees, and medical care.

“People are suffering. Pastors are drained. Members now queue after service not for prayer, but for help,” he lamented, describing the emotional and financial toll the crisis has taken on both leaders and followers.

He didn’t spare political leaders, whom he accused of living in denial about the reality on ground. “Yet, the leaders act as though nothing is wrong. This is not normal. It is witchcraft. A spell of patience in captivity. A demonic tolerance of suffering,” he said.

Pastor Enenche concluded his message with a passionate plea for divine intervention, calling on God to break the chains of affliction over the country. “Let every evil spell over this land be broken! Let those misruling with arrogance and mocking the people’s pain face divine judgment. They shall not see the celebration of their wickedness,” he declared.

His words echo the frustrations of millions of Nigerians struggling under rising inflation, high unemployment, and deepening poverty. For many, the message from the pulpit has never felt more urgent—or more aligned with the everyday pain they live through.
