If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram lately, you’ve probably come across oil being poured — slowly dripping down faces, shoulders, even hands. It’s the Anointed Challenge, and it has fast become one of the most striking faith-inspired trends we’ve seen in a while.
Pastor Emmanuel Iren kicked it off to promote his upcoming song with Godswill Oyor, set to drop on October 10. He also shared a video highlighting Acts 10:38 and Isaiah 61:1 — scriptures that anchor the message behind the song.
And honestly? We can’t get enough of it. From Jennifer Obiuwevbi, Adura Ojofeitimi, Evelyn Ajayi, Dieko, to Bunmi Praise — these are some of our absolute favourites. Their photos carry such a striking mix of grace, boldness, and creativity that it’s hard to scroll past without pausing.
Now, we’re just counting down to October 10. If the challenge is anything to go by, the song is going to be just as powerful.
