Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, founder of the Hallelujah Challenge, has cautioned those opposing the global prayer initiative, warning of potential spiritual consequences.
Speaking on Day 11 of the event, Bassey described this year's programme as facing unprecedented resistance, which he attributed to spiritual opposition.
“I pity them. In the Bible, those who mocked David were judged instantly. I declare from this altar: anyone who resists the Hallelujah Challenge risks God’s judgment. If you don’t want to participate, simply step aside. The kingdom of God suffereth violence”, he said.

He highlighted the significance of starting the programme with 24 hours of continuous praise, asserting that no spiritual force could halt it.
Bassey drew parallels with biblical stories, warning critics that anyone attempting to hinder the Hallelujah Challenge could face God's judgment.

Earlier, Father Joshua Mary Ugbedeojo Abuh had advised Catholics not to participate in the Hallelujah Challenge during Lent, citing potential inconsistency with Catholic practice.
Bassey urged critics to let believers freely worship during the event, saying, "Leave us alone to serve our God."
“Judah, when you talk about Judah praise, you’re talking about the lion. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver between his feet until Shiloh come until unto him shall the gathering of his people be. The devil and his host are warned. Say, leave us alone to serve our God. I’m saying it now. If you have loved ones, tell them. Say, if you don’t want to watch it, leave it alone. Do you know why this is so resisted is because there’s so much power”, he added.
