The October 2025 edition of the midnight worship program streams live on YouTube, no ads, no sponsored banners, no donation pressure. Just pure worship.
Bassey’s YouTube channel has over 1.5 million subscribers, and each night of the challenge attracts viewers from different continents. In the world of digital media, that kind of traffic is gold. Yet, the channel remains completely ad-free throughout the event.
Marketing analysts estimate that with his current audience size, the advertising revenue and corporate sponsorship deals could earn him at least ₦1.4 billion during the month-long worship sessions, but Bassey refuses.
He has been consistent with this principle since he started the challenge in 2017. According to him, God told him clearly: “Do not commercialize it.” He believes adding ads or turning the worship movement into a business would dilute the spiritual purpose.

People close to the ministry confirmed that companies have approached him many times with irresistible deals. One media executive claims a brand once offered a seven-figure sponsorship just to display a logo during the live session Bassey walked away.
Those who have followed his ministry say it is refreshing to see someone who prioritizes obedience over earnings. In an era where everything is monetized, Nathaniel Bassey is choosing a different currency: trust in God.
Every session of the Hallelujah Challenge ends with testimonies of healing, restored families, and renewed faith. For Bassey, that is reward enough.
