Speaking during the church's Mid-year Worship Concert, Enenche urged gospel artistes to produce more youth-focused music that would serve as a positive alternative to secular songs.
Announcing a planned Youth Fire Night scheduled for September 25, the cleric called on gospel music ministers, including Prinx Emmanuel, to reserve the date for the event.
"We will organise a youth fire night on the 25th of September. Prinx Emmanuel and other young music ministers here, clean your calendar for that date," he said.
Enenche argued that gospel music with strong messages would have a greater impact on young people than what he described as the empty lyrics found in many Afrobeats songs.
"It is better to have music that is saying something that youth is hearing than the garbage that worldly musicians sing."
He further alleged that many Afrobeats artistes promote harmful lifestyles through their music.
"Most of those Afrobeats are just saying rubbish. Smoking Indian hemp while they are singing and influencing the youths in negative ways."
According to the pastor, exposing young people to spiritually enriching music can help steer them away from destructive influences.
"By the time you have this positive replacement for such garbage, then your life cannot follow such a direction."
He added that he hopes future gospel songs will be more message-driven, helping young people make wise decisions and avoid negative influences.
"I trust that in time to come, more of this music will be very word-loaded to disciple you, show you steps to take, how to stay away from negative friends, how to make the right decisions and so on," he said.
