Pastor Unable to Walk after Embarking on 21 Days Fasting, Video Shows Members Carrying Him

The lead pastor of Zion Ark of Covenant International Bible Church Inc., Delta state, caused a commotion in his church as he returned after 21 days of fasting.

In a video released on his church’s Facebook page, the Warri-based cleric was helped and carried into the church as he struggled to walk unaided.

The returning pastor wore a white outfit, along with all his church officials who assisted him. His members all adorned in white as if it were a dress code of sorts.

Members, believed to be church workers, carried Victor to the altar and laid him on a white cloth that had already been spread.

Members were in a worshipful mood and emotional in the video as Victor was helped to the altar. According to a statement released by his church, Victor embarked on a 21-day dry fast, abstaining from all food, fruit, water, and substances.

The church further stated that the pastor always embarks on the fast every September, a tradition he has followed for 18 years.

On the significance of the pastor’s persevering exercise, the church explained that it was a sacrifice for destinies, families and the body of Christ.

The church’s statement read:

Today, our man of God, Pastor Victor Great, returned to church after 21 days and 21 nights of dry fasting — no food, water, fruits or substance.

We saw his body weak, but the glory of God shining so strong upon him. The atmosphere was filled with God’s presence.
