Rev. Hannah Rebecca Judah, General Overseer of Lion of Judah Ministries International, has received the Special African Gospel Five Star Icon Award from the Approved Ministers International Network.
The award was presented on Sunday, 25 October 2026, at Lion of Judah Ministries International, 42 Bright Street, Brookfields, Freetown. The honour recognizes her impact, dedication and efforts to advance the Gospel of Christ, transform lives and inspire people across Africa.
Following the presentation, Rev. Judah thanked the organizers, particularly the network’s founder and International President, Prophet Dr. James Simeon Sesay, who travelled from Liberia to present the award. She also expressed gratitude to God for the recognition.
Rev. Judah said she had anticipated receiving the award because, according to her, God had spoken to her and revealed things that she later prophesied. In her testimony, she affirmed that what God had spoken concerning her life would come to pass. She also pledged to continue sharing the message of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and remain steadfast in her faith.
“I will not give up until the battle is over. The battle does not belong to me; it belongs to Jesus Christ. He is my strength, my defender, my refuge and my victory,” she said.
She added that no enemy or opposition could overturn God’s purpose for her life. Describing herself as a child of God, Rev. Judah said she was called for a purpose and remained determined to testify to His goodness.
She concluded by giving glory and honour to Almighty God and thanking the Judah Ministries family, including its pastors, elders and others whom she said God had used to bless her life.
Meanwhile, Prophet Dr. James Sesay preached on the theme “Building Capacity for Greatness.” He described capacity building as the process of developing oneself from within in preparation for future opportunities.
According to the report, Prophet Sesay said some people fail because they do not invest in developing their capacity. He also advised people against pursuing things for which they lacked the necessary capacity or a calling from God.
