Nigerian evangelist Benita Okeke has dragged fashion designer Veekee James for claiming that God sent the ‘Holy Spirit’ to inspire her to design and sew Prisicilla Ojo’s wedding outfit.
After the wedding ceremony of Priscilla Ojo and her husband Juma Jux, Veekee James took her fans through the process of designing the wedding outfit.
According to her, she experienced vocal strain from exhaustion while crafting the wedding gown.
In the video, she mentioned that she had prayed for divine inspiration and credited the Holy Spirit for guiding her creative process.
It may seem as though the claim of Vekee James did not sit well with an Evangelist who has shared a video berating the fashion designer.
In the video, Evangelist Okeke questioned the spiritual legitimacy of such an inspiration, arguing that the dress—being revealing—did not align with Christian standards of modesty.
“The dress wasn’t modest,” she stated. “Can the Holy Spirit truly lead someone to design something that doesn’t reflect decency? If we say the Holy Spirit inspired this, are we not encouraging indecency under the guise of spirituality?”
“Even as believers, not all inspiration we receive comes from God. Sometimes, our thoughts, emotions, or personal desires can influence us,” she concluded.
