    A participant in the ongoing Hallelujah Challenge 2025, Jesulade Elizabeth claimed an anonymous donor gifted her a brand-new HP laptop mere hours after Day 15’s themed session.

    Responding promptly, gadget vendor announced, “Dear Jesulade, Anon just ordered a brand new hp laptop for you. Kindly check your DM. Thank you.”

    Overjoyed, Jesulade replied, “You guys. 1/2 has been answered in less than 24 hours. What God cannot do doesn’t exist”.

    The Hallelujah Challenge, which began in 2017 as a modest Instagram Live and has since ballooned into a massive faith movement, encourages believers to visualize breakthroughs through creative acts like dressing in attire symbolising their desires, be it a job uniform, wedding gown, or, a fake baby bump for women trying to conceive.

    Similar testimonies flooded social media, including a nurse donning scrubs for an internship breakthrough and a woman manifesting twins with a fake baby bump.

    The regular Hallelujah Challenge is set to return in October 2025.

    He wrote. “Later this month, 27th August 2025, I would be leading my brethren in the kiri medium prison in a Hallelujah challenge Praise and worship special session.

    “This is my heart’s desire for my birthday. We’ll praise, eat together and afterwards give out some scholarships.

    “The first ever Hallelujah challenge was in Acts 16:25-26, When paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God. Though we may not stream this for security reasons, but you can pray along with us as we go. We trust God for liberty of the spirit and massive harvests of souls in Jesus’ name. Meanwhile, are you ready for the October edition?”
