Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Leader of the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, Evangelist Ebuka Obi, has revealed three great promises he made to God before he kick-started the now popular ministry.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Sun, the popular clergy claimed that he is yet to have sexual intercourse with any woman, saying he will remain a virgin until he gets married.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me not to have sex until I marry. Yes, he also said that for me to maintain God\u2019s grace I must not sleep with a woman until I get married.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose instructions given to me by the reverend father have kept me till today. I had promised God that I would not have sex until I marry. I\u2019ve not had sex before\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said he saw where I was talking to millions of people, but that I should not leave the Catholic Church where I was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t understand what he meant by don\u2019t open a church, don\u2019t have sex 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\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Influenced by the priest\u2019s instructions, Evangelist Obi said he promised God that he would not be money-minded nor open his own church and remain virgin until marriage.<\/p>\n

The clergyman also revealed that he doesn\u2019t conduct baptism nor church wedding because the ministry is not a church.<\/p>\n
