Jeremiah Jacob Wins April 25 Mock Session
The Mock Session of April 25, 2026, commenced with an electrifying ministration by the choir, setting a reverent yet energetic tone for the gathering. Shortly after, the President, Nsikan E. Johnny, led the opening prayer.
He followed this with a compelling call for both disciples and would-be disciples.
Twenty-two eager participants stepped forward, ready to be part of the experience.
The President then poised the first preliminary question: “When Moses fled from Pharaoh in Egypt, where did he go?” Only five participants answered correctly: Midian.
He then poised another preliminary question: “What is the ancestry of the Midianites?” Only one participant correctly answered: Abraham and Keturah.
Finally, he asked a third preliminary question drawn from Exodus Chapter 4: “Who did the Lord pronounce as His firstborn?”
In a swift display of readiness, three persons from the audience correctly answered “Israel” and received an instant reward of ₦5,000 each.
Twelve contestants also answered correctly and advanced to the main stage of the competition.
The jury – Moses, Edidiong, and Dominic – presided over the contest as participants delivered ministrations from John Chapter 20.
Each contestant demonstrated depth, insight, and personal conviction in their delivery.
At the end of the presentations, the scores revealed a tightly contested session.
Emmanuel Edward and Jeremiah Jacob led with 6.5/10 each, while six others – Charles Michael, Imedu Effiong, Paul King, Ini Daniel, Emem Abang, and Paul Eyeting – followed closely with 6/10 apiece.
To determine the first, second, and third place winners, the President introduced a decisive tie-breaker question: “List all the names of Moses’ father-in-law.” Nine people from the audience responded correctly and received an instant reward of ₦5,000 each.
Among the contestants who scored 6/10, Emem Abang secured third position with the first correct submission. Jeremiah Jacob ultimately emerged as the champion after providing the two correct names, Jethro and Reuel, while Emmanuel Edward, who submitted one correct name and maintained a higher overall score than Abang, claimed the position of first runner-up.
Jeremiah Jacobs received a cheque of ₦250,000.00 as the winner.
Emmanuel Edwards was awarded ₦100,000.00, while Emem Abang went home with a cheque of ₦50,000.00.
Beyond the prizes, the Mock Session reinforced the power of Scripture, discipleship, and the transformative impact of engaging deeply with the Word of God.
