Nathaniel Bassey, Nigerian gospel singer and preacher, has revealed the official date for the beginning of this year’s popular worship and praise programme, Hallelujah Challenge.
Okay Nigeria understands that the event 21-days praise, worship and prayer session is expected to begin from 4th- 24th February 2019 on Instagram by 12 am- 1 am.
Nathaniel Bassey while announcing date urged Christians to pray for the success of this year’s event.
Speaking on the programme, he said “It started as an inspiration from God.
“It was the leading of the holy spirit, following up on something we called the ‘Tongue challenge’ which was initially praying for one hour every month in the month of May.
“When we were done, I just sensed that God wanted us to praise him in the month of June, in the midnight hour based on Acts 16:25-26 and the kind of praise should be the hallelujah kind of praise.
“The number of people joining the challenge keeps rising on a daily basis, the last session had over 70,000 people and that’s not including the over 90,000 who joined via Facebook.”
The signer also urged worshipers participating in the programme to do the following:
1. Pray in the Spirit at least 1hr during the day.
2. Read the word. Watch out for a collective bible plan this period.
3. Don’t get discouraged by all the critics and bloggers that would normally speak against this. Focus.
4. Every night we would pray for the Nigerian elections, using our PVCs as pints of contacts and also encourage people to GO OUT AND VOTE!
5. Don’t get into unnecessary arguments about the Hallelujah Challenge. It’s okay if they think we are wasting our time. At least you know you are not. And have tasted of God’s power.
5. Get out a journal to write. You may use your previous one if you still have.
6. Spend time praying for us. Myself, family and the team as we embark on this.
7. Be excited ! And ready to see GOD MOVE !
8. Tag someone that needs this.
9. Get ready to Sing & Pray
10. Reach for your instruments of praise…., Your Heart, Your voice, your Hands, Legs…. and every thing that has breathe..
The Hallelujah Challenge was in 2018 featured by Cable News Network (CNN).
