Evangelist Ebuka Obi Reveals Three Life Vows That Shaped His Ministry
Evangelist Ebuka, founder of the Zion Prayer Movement, recently shared the three life promises he made to God before starting his ministry.
In an open discussion, Obi recounted the impactful guidance he received from Reverend Father Luke Odinkemmelu.
This prophet helped him during his youth and advised him on principles to help him maintain God’s grace and power.
One of the core commitments Obi made was to remain a virgin until marriage.
The prophet explained how Reverend Father Luke encouraged him to avoid sexual relations before marriage
Also, the teachings help that this dedication would help preserve his spiritual strength and allow God’s grace to flow fully in his life.
“He told me that to sustain God’s grace, I must not sleep with a woman until marriage,” Obi shared.
He has remained true to his word and intends to keep this promise until he marries.
Ebuka Obi also revealed that Reverend Father Luke discouraged him from opening his church, advising instead to stay within the Catholic Church, where he was raised.
The priest reportedly saw a vision of Obi speaking to millions of people and guided him to pursue a calling that didn’t include starting a traditional church.
Obi took this advice seriously, structuring the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach as a prayer ground rather than a church.
Unlike many religious leaders, he does not perform baptisms or officiate weddings, emphasizing that his ministry is purely for prayer and spiritual guidance.
The third promise he made was to avoid becoming money-focused.
Father Luke had urged him to let his work be about serving people rather than profit, cautioning that material concerns could interfere with his spiritual path.
Inspired by this message, Obi committed to leading a life focused on prayer, guidance, and faith, rather than financial gain.
Through these vows, Evangelist Obi believes he has been able to build a ministry that impacts countless people.
The Chairman of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Torseer Yina, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the ancient town.
The curfew takes effect from Thursday, October 8, 2026, following unrest and violent protests in the area.
According to reports, the action was taken to contain the unrest and violent protests by members of BEMOA following the death of one of its members by unknown gunmen.
The protest, which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums, turned violent after an angry mob burnt two vehicles belonging to the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.
The Gboko council chairman said the curfew takes effect immediately and warned that anyone caught flouting the order or breaching public peace would be decisively dealt with.
Nine people have died in a fatal road crash along the Ijebu-Ode-Benin Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash occurred on Monday at about 4:55pm around the Bethel area along the Ijebu-Ode/Ore axis of the expressway. It involved a white Toyota Hiace commercial bus belonging to Delta Line and a white Sino truck operated by Bill Gas Solution Ltd.
According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), all nine people involved in the crash, comprising three males and six females, died in the incident.

The FRSC rescue team arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the report, while the bodies of the victims were taken to the General Hospital Morgue in Ijebu-Ode.

Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, speaks on the role and importance of teachers in the world to celebrate Teachers’ Day today.
He spoke on technology and its advancement and shared that while it is going well, teachers can never be replaced.
“These tools can help teachers reach learners and tailor instruction, but the judgement, encouragement and human connection of a skilled teacher remain indispensable,” he said.
“Every doctor, engineer, scientist, entrepreneur and public servant has benefited from a teacher and could not have become what they are today without teachers,” the minister said.
“When we honour teachers, we honour the people who make every other profession possible.”
