Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the Leader of the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, recently shared the three commitments he made to God before founding his ministry, which he regards as a prayer ground rather than a church.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Sun, Obi revealed that he remains a virgin and plans to uphold his vow of abstinence until marriage, a commitment inspired by advice he received as a young man from Rev. Fr. Luke Odinkemmelu.<\/p>\n
Recalling the priest’s counsel, Evangelist Obi said, “He told me not to have sex until I marry\u2026to maintain God\u2019s grace.” Following this guidance, he pledged to uphold chastity and has remained true to his promise, stating, “I\u2019ve not had sex before.”<\/p>\n
In addition to celibacy, the clergyman vowed not to open a church of his own. “The Reverend Father instructed me not to leave the Catholic Church where I was born,” Obi explained.<\/p>\n
While his Zion ministry reaches a large audience, he respects this advice, refraining from conducting baptisms or weddings, which he sees as church sacraments.<\/p>\n
Finally, Obi promised not to let money drive his ministry, a principle he holds dear to avoid being \u201cmoney-minded.\u201d<\/p>\n
These three promises\u2014to stay chaste, avoid church leadership, and prioritize service over profit\u2014are central to his spiritual mission and the foundation of his rapidly growing outreach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
