    Zion Ministry hosts global convention to mark anniversary

    Zion Missionary Church, Sapele, Delta State, marked a historic milestone as it celebrated its 27th anniversary with a 40-day fasting and prayer convention graced by international preachers and revivalists from far and near.

    In a statement, the church said the convention, with the theme, ‘”You Will Survive by Fire'(1 Corinthians 3:15), was a sacred season of dedication, unity, and revival centred on the unshakable truth that Jesus Christ alone is the way, the truth, and the life.

    The statement reads, “It drew a remarkable assembly of international preachers and revivalists from India, South Africa, Kenya, and across Nigeria, united under one divine purpose: to rekindle faith in Christ, strengthen perseverance among believers, and call for moral and spiritual restoration in the nation.”

    Bishop Kingsley Enakirheri, immediate past PFN Chairman (Delta State), delivered one of the most stirring messages of the event, declaring boldly, “Any religion without Jesus is fake.” Quoting Mark 9:23 and Isaiah 43:1-3, he emphasised that true salvation, power, and hope are found only in the message of Jesus Christ.

    Enakirheri reminded believers that no storm or trial can overcome those whose faith is anchored in the Saviour.

    Distinguished ministers, including Apostles Emmanuel Arinze (India) and David Uku Yoma (South Africa), Bishop Patrick Mukala (Kenya), Archbishop Ubaga, and Evangelist Vera Akpan, joined hands in spirit and mission, proclaiming revival through faith, perseverance, and service.

    Together, they challenged the body of Christ to rise above discouragement, to work diligently, and to extend helping hands to the needy — reflecting the love and endurance of Jesus.

    Presiding Bishop Elijah Sandy recounted the church’s humble beginnings in Sapele and celebrated its steady growth into a ministry with national and international impact.

    He called on believers everywhere to remain steadfast, prayerful, and hardworking, emphasising that true success — both spiritual and material — is born from dedication to God’s purpose and unity in Christ.

    The convention concluded with a heartfelt session of intercession led by Pastor Shillo Gideon, sealing the atmosphere with fervent prayers for revival, strength, and continued growth. The power of God moved mightily, leaving hearts rekindled and spirits reawakened for the next phase of Kingdom advancement.

    Zion Ministry: Lady arraigned in Enugu court for allegedly giving fake testimony

    A 32-year-old woman, Loveth Alo Helen, has been arraigned at an Enugu Magistrate Court for allegedly giving a fake testimony at Prophet Ebuka Obi’s Zion Prayer Movement in Lagos.

    Helen was seen in a viral video claiming that God had blessed her with the acquisition of a property. 

    Footage of the building was displayed in the church during her testimony. In another viral clip, she allegedly stated that she purchased the house for N200 million.

    She was arraigned on Tuesday before the Magistrate Court sitting in Enugu North Magistrate District, presided over by S.O.

    Helen was accused of falsely presenting herself as the owner of a five-bedroom duplex located at Plot 16, WTC Estate, Enugu, which belongs to Architect Emmanuel Asogwa.

    After the charges were read, she pleaded not guilty. The magistrate granted her bail at N1 million with a surety who must provide three years’ tax clearance.

    The case, marked MEN/112C/25, between the Commissioner of Police and Loveth Alo Helen, was adjourned until April 9, 2025, for further hearing.

    Speaking to journalists after the arraignment, Helen insisted that she did not plan or discuss the testimony with anyone and did not receive anything from anyone. She maintained that she acted in faith, hoping to eventually acquire the property.

    “I did the testimony claiming that I will get it, nobody arranged anything with me, I did not collect anything from anybody” she stated.

    According to her, before she made the testimony, she went for inspection of the house “which we are processing to get and I told them that I’m coming “.

    As of the time of filling this report, Helen was yet to meet her bail conditions.
