Joseph Edet Takes Home 1st Prize

Twelve eager participants gathered for the September 20th Mock session, each determined to showcase their biblical knowledge and skills. The competition commenced with a question from Matthew 18: “According to Matthew, when Jesus’s disciples asked him who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, what did Jesus first do before he said anything?” Ten participants answered correctly, citing that Jesus called a little child to him (Matthew 18:2), and proceeded to the next round.

In the 5-minute word ministration session, participants were scored based on their performance. The scores were as follows ¹:
– Top Scorers:
– Paul King (7/10)
– Joseph Edet (7/10)
– Ekaete Usenobong (7/10)
– Ndukeobong Bassey (7/10)

The participants who scored 7/10 were asked additional questions from Matthew 19. Although all five participants passed the first round, none of them answered the subsequent questions correctly hence there was no clear winner emerging after three rounds.

DRAMATIC TWIST IN THE FOURTH ROUND

In a stunning turn of events, Joseph Edet emerged as the overall winner after the fourth round, demonstrating exceptional biblical knowledge and endurance. Edet took home the N200,000.00 cash award for the first prize.

Edet’s performance showcased his mastery of biblical scripture and his ability to think critically under pressure. The Mock session concluded with participants receiving feedback/words of encouragement from the President.

Other cash prizes won by participants who came second, third, and fourth were:  ₦100,000 – Ekaete Usenobong,  ₦50,000 – Paul King, ₦30,000 – Ndukeobong Bassey; & ₦20,000 – Aniefiok John.

The September 20th Mock session was a resounding success, highlighting the importance of biblical knowledge and critical thinking skills.

Congratulations to Joseph Edet on his well-deserved win!
