Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the leader of the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, has disclosed the three great promises he made to God before he kick-started the now popular ministry.
In an interview with Sun, the popular clergy claimed that he is yet to have s*xual intercourse with any woman, saying he will remain a virgin until he gets married.
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.
Evangelist Obi, who claimed that Zion ministry is just a prayer ground and not church, said the Rev Father also instructed him never to open his own church.
“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.
