The Nigerian Christian community is reeling from a series of revelations by Martina Luis, the estranged wife of Pastor Abraham Daniel Ejeh, a former minister in the Dunamis International Gospel Centre. Speaking in an emotionally charged interview, Martina disclosed disturbing details about the transformation of her once-loving husband, claiming his descent began after delving into esoteric books, including The Seven Days of Moses.
“Abraham was a godly man, full of love and compassion,” Martina said, her voice trembling. “He was the rock of our family and a dedicated servant of the church. But everything changed when he started reading those books. It was as though something dark took over him.”
A Shocking Transformation
Martina recounted how her husband, a well-respected pastor known for his passion for the Gospel, became withdrawn and unstable. According to her, his obsession with the occultic text not only eroded his faith but also deeply fractured their family.
“He started seeing everyone, even me, as an enemy,” she revealed. “There were times he would lock himself away for hours, reading and muttering incomprehensible things. It was terrifying.”
The breaking point came when, as Martina claims, Pastor Ejeh threatened their daughter’s life. “He once held a knife to her,” she recalled through tears. “He said, ‘Sacrifices must be made.’ That was when I realized he had completely lost his way.”
Faith Shattered, Family Torn
Once a man who led his congregation with fervor, Pastor Ejeh allegedly turned his back on the church, abandoning his faith entirely. Martina described him as a shadow of his former self, consumed by violent outbursts and paranoia.
“He left God, fought the church, and became a man I couldn’t recognize anymore. It’s heartbreaking because he was such a good man before all this,” she lamented.
Despite the pain, Martina remains hopeful for her husband’s redemption. “The God of Pastor Enenche is still at work,” she said, urging Nigerians to pray for Abraham’s recovery and spiritual restoration.
A Community in Shock
The revelations have sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s Christian community, prompting discussions about the dangers of spiritual derailment. Pastor Abraham Ejeh, once a pillar of faith, has now become a cautionary tale about the perils of straying from the path of righteousness.
Prominent leaders within Dunamis International Gospel Centre, founded by Pastor Paul Enenche, have yet to issue an official statement regarding the allegations. However, some members have expressed their dismay. “This is a stark reminder that no one is immune to temptation,” one congregant remarked.
Contextual and Spiritual Implications
The Seven Days of Moses, the book reportedly central to Pastor Ejeh’s transformation, is known within Christian circles for its controversial content. It contains esoteric teachings and rituals often associated with mysticism, leading many pastors to warn against its use.
The episode has reignited debates about spiritual vigilance and the responsibility of church leaders to safeguard their faith. Experts argue that spiritual leaders often face immense pressure, making them vulnerable to external influences.
“Church leaders are seen as pillars of strength, but they are human too,” said Dr. James Okafor, a theologian based in Lagos. “Without proper accountability and spiritual support, even the strongest can falter.”
Calls for Support and Redemption
Martina’s appeal for prayers has resonated with many. She emphasized that her intention in coming forward was not to shame her husband but to seek help for him. “I still believe in the power of God to restore him,” she said.
The Nigerian Christian community has responded with an outpouring of support. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of encouragement, urging believers to uphold Pastor Ejeh in prayer.
A Lesson for All
This story serves as a sobering reminder of the struggles leaders face and the importance of spiritual vigilance. As Martina aptly put it, “Even those in positions of spiritual authority are not immune to the challenges of life and faith.”
