Why are we focusing on only the number of Instagram live worshippers?
There is no denying how incredible the increase in the numbers is, but we should also remember to gush over the overflow of miracles.
Should we be worried that these online religious activities are replacing the traditional ones?

When the live session of the 30-day challenge began on June 1st, it had a little over 1,000 viewers.
Since then, a lot of people have joined including celebrities like D'banj, Tiwa Savage, Uche Jombo, Toke Makinwa, Waje, Kemi Adetiba, Adekunle Gold, Woli Arole, and Ubi Franklin.
This morning, Day 12, the number skyrocketed to over 50, 000 viewers, and this is really driving people crazy.

I certainly can't deny that this is something, but it isn't the only great thing about these daily praise sessions.
Since its inception, there have been a lot of testimonies. In fact, Mr Bassey's Instagram is being flooded with numerous miracles on a daily basis.
On May 30th, the gospel artist prophesied that there would be so many miracles and this has absolutely come to pass.

This is awesome, right? So, why can't we also focus on this, rather than just the numbers?
As Bassey said, “The Challenge is a mandate from God, and I am just a vessel.
Beyond all the miracles and testimonies, God is doing something eternal – something that will outlive generations.”
There is no doubt that the challenge has provided an opportunity for people to do something that most people would never dream of, which is praise God for one hour.
In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with getting excited about the increase in numbers, but there is a lot more to be thankful for.

The fact that people are experiencing God's hand in their lives is absloutely worth talking about too.
The Live worship sessions will end on June 28, until then let us continue to glorify God.
