  • Evangelist Benita Okeke’s reaction to Veekee James’ claim about the dress triggered mixed reactions

A Nigerian preacher, Evangelist Benita Okeke, has tackled Veekee James for claiming the Holy Spirit inspired her while making JP2025 bride, Priscy Ojo’s white wedding dress.

A few days after the talk-of-the-town wedding, Veekee James had posted a video of the dress-making process and she talked about how she had prayed to God for inspiration, leading to the divine result of the dress.

However, shortly after Veekee James made her claim, it ruffled the feathers of some people in the Christian community, one of them being Evangelist Benita Okeke.

In a video posted on the preacher’s Instagram page, she condemned Veekee’s claim of Priscy’s dress being an inspiration from the holy spirit. According to her, the holy spirit would not lead someone to sew an indecent dress that can’t even be worn to church because it exposed parts of the bride’s body that should have been covered.

In her words:

“The dress was not decent, it wasn't decent clothing. And I’m like ‘will the Holy Spirit really lead you to sew a cloth that is indecent?’ Isn't this a licence for indecency? Because if you claim that the holy spirit led to you sew cloth that is revealing, exposing parts of your body that is supposed to be covered, then I think it’s a license for indecency and that is not consistent with scripture. The Bible says we should be modest and decent and we know that the nature of God does not support indecency so how can the Holy Spirit lead you to sew a cloth that is not appropriate? A cloth that you’d never even wear to the church, a cloth that isn’t even appropriate for a Christian person and you say the Holy Spirit led you.”

Also in the video, Evangelist Benita added that Veekee James’ claim meant that the holy spirit could lead someone to wear something indecent.

“The Holy Spirit would not lead you to sew indecent clothing. Because that means the Holy Spirit can lead us to wear inappropriate clothing”, she said.

On a final note, she said that not every inspiration a religious person gets is from God because a person’s mind consists of their thoughts and their will.

She said:

“You may be a child of God but not every inspiration we get is from the Holy Spirit, sometimes it is from our minds. Our mind consists of our will, our emotions, our thoughts, so it could come from there.”
