The February 2026 Hallelujah Challenge (often referred to as The Mercy Edition), led by Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, is a transformative midnight praise and worship movement running daily from February 9 to February 28, 2026, at 11:59 PM WAT. This edition focuses intensely on God’s mercy—defined as favor, grace, divine help, intervention, and strange acts of God that establish believers and shift their situations dramatically.

The challenge builds on pure praise (often starting without petitions), prophetic declarations, spontaneous worship, prayer, and expected encounters at the Mercy Seat (Exodus 25:22). It positions February as a “Judah month” where praise turns negative reports into praise reports, breaks chains, replaces tears with testimonies, and invites supernatural breakthroughs, healings, favor, and divine communion.
As of February 12, 2026 (early morning WAT), the challenge has completed Days 1–3, generating massive global participation (over 1.4 million reported on some days), fiery atmospheres, and early testimonies of joy, shifts, and mercy speaking powerfully.
