Nathaniel Bassey Warns Fans About Fake YouTube Channel Streaming Old Halleluyah Challenge.
Popular Nigerian gospel minister Pastor Nathaniel Bassey has issued a strong warning to his followers participating in the ongoing Halleluyah Challenge 2025 after reports surfaced of a fake YouTube channel misleading worshippers.
In a statement shared on his verified social media pages, Pastor Nathaniel cautioned believers to beware of a channel called "Minute With God" that has been falsely streaming last year's Halleluyah Challenge videos while pretending to be live.
He clarified that the only official channel streaming the 2025 sessions is "Nathaniel Bassey" on YouTube and no other. "Please, my dear people of God, be vigilant. The only authentic page streaming the Halleluyah Challenge is mine Nathaniel Bassey. Some channels are replaying last year's session to deceive viewers," he wrote.
The warning comes as thousands of believers across the world have joined the annual Halleluyah Challenge, a powerful midnight praise and worship session that follows a period of fasting and prayer. This year's edition has already seen massive participation, with testimonies flooding in from different countries.
Fans have praised Pastor Nathaniel for being alert and protecting the integrity of the movement, which has grown to become one of the most followed online worship experiences globally.
The Halleluyah Challenge 2025 continues nightly, drawing hearts closer to God through songs, prayers, and thanksgiving but as Pastor Nathaniel reminds everyone, "Stay connected only to the right source." Dear reader, are you following and taking part in the current halleluyah challenge?
