T.V. Productions
One of the visions of the Mount Zion Faith Ministries is the transmission of Mount Zion Films on Television Stations so that the message can reach many people at the same time. So, when a man of God approached us in April 1990, that he wanted the Ministry to record her stage play- “The Unprofitable Servant” on locations so that he could sponsor the its transmission on Television, we were all happy and we went into the recording. It therefore became the first Mount Zion Production to be transmitted on the Television. It was transmitted on the Nigerian Television Authority, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria in April 1990 during the Easter Festive period.
TWO-MINUTE (YORUBA) TELLY DRAMA (IPE-IKEHIN)
The Lord challenged the ministry with the few seconds’ product advertisement on Television, that viewers can also watch Jesus message drama within 2 minutes on Television and be blessed. The Ministry therefore shot some series of episodes of two-minutes duration each in Yoruba Langnage under the title "Ipe-Ikehin" in 1992 and this was sponsored by one Christian Family. It was aired on N.T.A. Ibadan on the peak periods of the channel for several months. Many testimonies came to us from the viewers, and we were happy the Lord used it to bless the people. Also, "THE PERILOUS TIMES" is a 2 hours 20 minutes film produced in both English and Yoruba Languages. It was aired on NTA Ibadan during the Easter Festive period of 1993.
AGBARA NLA (T.V. SERIAL)
The Lord gave us the message of a 13-week episodes film serial in the year 1993. The Lord then stirred up his children to pay for the airtime to run the film serial on six television stations in the Western Region of Nigeria. These stations were N.T.A Ibadan, OGTV Abeokuta, NTA Ilorin, OSRC Akure, BCOS Ibadan and NTA Ikeja, Lagos. The Lord used this serial to make His presence felt in the whole of the Western Region and the country of Nigeria at large. During the transmission, streets were being disserted as people were always in-door, stayed glued to their Television sets to watch the film serial. The impact of the transmission was great in the land. The Lord used it to create wide acceptability for evangelical drama in churches and more importantly erased the effect of the havoc a previous secular television serial had caused among the people. The 13-week episodes serial was later released to the public on a four-part home video.
THE ULTIMATE POWER
The Lord also helped the Ministry to go on a fresh location to shoot the English version of the film serial in 1994. It was later transmitted as a 19-episode-film serial on two television stations of the Mid-Western Region of Nigeria-NTA Benin and Delta State Television.
THE GREAT MISTAKE (ASISE NLA)
The running time for this film was three and half hours and it was transmitted for seven weeks in 1995 on NTA Ibadan. The film was shot both in English and Yoruba Languages.
IDE-ESU
In 1995, the Lord gave us another Yoruba Television serial film message titled “Ide Esu”. It was transmitted for Twelve weeks on NTA Ibadan, NTA Ikeja, Lagos, NTA Ilorin, and Ondo State Television and later at Ekiti State Television. The effect was very great in the Yoruba speaking States of Nigeria. It has since been released to the public on a four-part home video.
THE FRUITLESS TREE
This is another television film serial the Lord gave the ministry in 1999. It was an Eleven-and half hours film which was cut into 20-episodes and it was transmitted for 20 weeks on NTA Ibadan, NTA Port-Harcourt and Lagos Television. The message of the serial film was a strong message for Christians and so the transmission became a blessing to the Body of Christ in this country of Nigeria. The home video is in four-parts of 180 minutes each.
GIFTS TO TELEVISON STATIONS ( A Divine Strategy)
All other films of Mount Zion with 2 to 3 hours duration were also transmitted on different Television Stations between 1992 and 1999. However, towards the end of the year 2000, the Lord gave us a strong leading as a strategy to capture and possess Television Stations in Nigeria for Him. The Lord therefore led us to package all our films and present them as gifts to many Television Stations we can reach. This was done in March 2001, when we sent set of eight different films of Mount Zion to about Twenty-one Television Stations in the Country.The Ministry wrote a letter to accompany the films that the TV Stations can use the films during festive seasons and at any time without any obligations. Now the number of the Television Stations transmitting Mount Zion Films in Nigeria have risen to Seventy-Four(74). The result was that the TV Stations went into massive transmission of the films and people began to give testimonies of what the transmission did in their lives. Up till now, the ministry is still giving her new films to the TV Stations during Christian festive seasons.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSMISSION
In October 2001, the ministry received a letter from Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) in the country of Lesotho, requesting for Mount Zion Films for transmission. So, on the 17th December 2001, about Nine Mount Zion films were sent to the Station with a letter authorizing the TBN in Lesotho to transmit the films at anytime without any obligation.This International Transmission has now given birth to a vision called African Mission Television Outreaches. With this vision, the Mount Zion Faith Ministries have a plan to send her films to all the Television Stations in the English-Speaking African countries (without any financial obligations on their part) to broadcast them to their teeming viewers.
AFRICA MAGIC (MNET)
The Ministry has also got an open door to transmit her films on the Africa magic channel South Africa. To this end, about fifteen (15) of our feature films and four television serials have been given to the T.V Channel.
