The LoveWorld Global Fellowship had posted on Instagram three days earlier that the programme would take place on Sunday, noting that it was strictly by invitation.

Viral videos from the event, which surfaced on social media on Tuesday, revealed Oyakhilome unveiling the vehicles, including the Tsion Passion, Tsion Falcon, Vision series, Vision Coupe and OG series.

Pastor Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters International Christian Centre says this is evidence of the church's growing influence beyond the pulpit.

Idowu thanked Oyakhilome and described the development as an example of the church demonstrating its capacity in the marketplace.

"My mind has been stretched. This is what it means to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

"We are not waiting for them to give us a solution. The church has come to its place; now they have no other option than to listen to us.

"We are not just preaching the gospel; we are demonstrating the ability of the Spirit, even in the marketplace," Idowu said.

During the presentation, Oyakhilome disclosed that some aspects of the vehicles were still being refined, including the steering wheel design. He also explained that "OG" means "Of God."

The unveiling marks a move by Christ Embassy into the electric vehicle space, with the Tsion range adding automobile development to the church's broader focus on innovation and economic empowerment.
