Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star Cross Okonkwo has sparked widespread reactions across social media after launching an online ministry, a move that has left many surprised and intrigued.
The reality TV star, who publicly declared his renewed devotion to Christ in 2024, has taken his faith a step further by creating a social media-based initiative aimed at leading people to Jesus. His online ministry has quickly gained traction, with many followers tuning in to his live preaching sessions.
Cross, also known as Christopher Ikechukwu Okonkwo, has been using TikTok Live as his primary platform for sharing sermons and spiritual insights. In these live broadcasts, he passionately addresses his audience, urging them to embrace salvation, turn away from sin, and become born-again Christians.
His messages, which often focus on resisting temptation and deepening one’s relationship with God, have caught the attention of both his supporters and skeptics. While some praise his spiritual transformation, others remain critical, referencing his past lifestyle as a former BBNaija housemate.
One of the viral clips from his online ministry shows Cross passionately preaching about the importance of spiritual revival in today’s world. In the video, he speaks on the necessity of turning to God, avoiding distractions, and seeking divine guidance in all aspects of life.
Another session captures him praying fervently for his followers, asking God to touch their hearts, grant them peace, and help them experience the transformative power of faith. He encourages viewers to trust in God’s plan and remain steadfast in their spiritual journey.
A netizen who stumbled upon Cross’ live broadcast at midnight took to social media to share their experience, emphasizing the reality star’s passion and unwavering dedication to his newfound mission.
