Bassey threatens God's judgment on Hallelujah Challenge critics

Spiritual heat just got dialed up, and anyone dragging the Hallelujah Challenge is being warned they might catch divine backlash.

Hallelujah Challenge faces pushback

• Pastor Nathaniel Bassey runs the Hallelujah Challenge prayer movement.
• During Day 11, Bassey claimed this edition met heavy resistance.
• He chalked that pushback up to spiritual forces fighting back.
• Bassey said critics should simply step aside if uninterested.

Warnings of divine consequences

• Nathaniel Bassey fired off a caution about possible God-level payback.
• From the altar, he declared opponents could face judgment.
• Biblical stories about David got name-dropped as cautionary tales.
• His stance framed the resistance as more than random criticism.

Emphasis on nonstop praise kickoff

• The event opened with 24 hours of continuous praise.
• Bassey insisted no unseen force could shut it down.
• Judah imagery and lion symbolism popped up in his remarks.
• Power, he argued, explains why the gathering attracts hostility.

Catholic caution enters the mix

• Father Joshua Mary Ugbedeojo Abuh addressed Catholics about participation.
• Abuh pointed to Lent as clashing with the event’s style.
• That guidance advised Catholics to avoid joining the Challenge.
• Bassey responded by telling critics to let worshippers be.
