Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the leader of the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, shared in an interview with Sun about the three significant promises he made to God before founding his widely followed ministry.
Among these, he vowed to uphold a life of celibacy until marriage, stating that he has remained a virgin and intends to continue until he weds.
He said while he was growing up, one Rev Fr. Luke Odinkemmelu advised him to remain a virgin until marriage in a bid to sustain the grace and power of God upon him.
“He told me not to have s*x until I marry. Yes, he also said that for me to maintain God’s grace I must not sleep with a woman until I get married.
“Those instructions given to me by the reverend father have kept me till today. I had promised God that I would not have s*x until I marry. I’ve not had s*x before”, he said.

“He said he saw where I was talking to millions of people, but that I should not leave the Catholic Church where I was born.
“I didn’t understand what he meant by don’t open a church, don’t have s*x until you marry. He also said I should not be money-minded. The reverend father said that if I kept these three things, I would go far”, he added.
Influenced by the priest’s instructions, Evangelist Obi said he promised God that he would not be money-minded nor open his own church and remain virgin until marriage.
The clergyman also revealed that he doesn’t conduct baptism nor church wedding because the ministry is not a church.
