‘So He answered and said to me ‘’this is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: not by might, nor by power but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.’
Every year in July, we all come together for four days with one purpose; to be in God’s presence and to receive an impartation of His Word. We have never been disappointed. It is always a time of soaking and refreshing with a tremendous manifestation of God’s Spirit. And it just gets better each year.
This year, with the theme. By My Spirit, I believe God wants His people to know the importance, the significance, the benefits and the sufficiency of His Spirit.
The people of God should not need to struggle through life, should not need to live in fear and despair, should not need to be intimidated, should not need to worry, should not need to struggle to live the Christian life and should not need to be up and down, if we allow the Spirit of God to work through us.
Many of the struggles and strains believers experience can be avoided by NOT doing things by our own might and power, education or experience. But by allowing the Holy Spirit, through the Word of God to work in and through us. Then will we experience the effortlessness of living the Zoe, life of God. This and more will be the focus of the teachings at the convention.
We believe God that as we set our eyes on Him and gain understanding about the Holy Spirit, we shall experience a mighty move of God’s power in a higher-than-ever dimension. As we soak and saturate ourselves with the Word of God under the unction of the Holy Spirit, great things will manifest: salvation of souls, closer walk with God, reigniting of the fire, healings, miracles, growth etc. The impact will be felt all around.

We had an awesome and amazing four days of convention. Each session was unique and special. Starting from Thursday night when we spent time to pray and praise God, it was clear that we were set for something great.
The word was rich from each of the ministers and the power of God was manifested beyond description. The atmosphere was filled continually with the presence of the Holy Spirit. There was joy aplenty and laughter and smiles everywhere. People let go of every inhibition and just danced and rejoiced in the Lord like ‘King David’
One couldn’t have wished for more. This convention was a tremendous success. The impartation of the Word was exceptional and all the presentations from the children, the fellowships, the choir and all the different singers and guests artists altogether ensured that we were left asking for more and never wanting it all to end.
Martha Munizzi also lifted up the atmosphere. As a church, we believe we have taken a huge leap to that next level where great accomplishments become commonplace. We give God all the glory for how He has taken us from strength to strength.
A big THANK YOU to all our memebers who worked tirelessly and selflessly to deliver such a wonderful programme and service for everyone to enjoy. All the teams and fellowships were amazing. Many were healed and many received miracles at this convention. Many have been inspired to move to the next level. Capacities have been enlarged to go forward.
Why not email us or call to share your convention experiences and testimonies with us.
Shalom.

Dear friends,
There is only so much a person can achieve with human wisdom. Your strength can only take you so far. Physical strength will fail. Human wisdom has limitations. Stress, struggle, strains, weariness, tiredness and depression are all outcomes of doing things through our own power and might.
The purpose of this year’s convention is to learn more about the Holy Spirit. To gain an understanding of the importance, the significance, the benefits and the sufficiency of the Spirit of God. Our convention is a Word Convention. It is about taking time out of the ‘busyness’ of this world and getting into the teaching of God’s Word. We know that a believer lives by the Word. The Word is the wisdom of God. The Word is the whole counsel of God. The Word will ALWAYS put you over in life. The Word of God gives you an advantage in this world.
I encourage you to take full advantage of these four days. Nothing is more important than God’s Word. Prepare yourself. Be ready for the impartation of God’s Word. We are excited about all our guest ministers (See below) that God has prepared to bring us the Word this year. Come with an expectant heart. Come and receive knowledge that will cause you to live effortlessly with great results. Don’t keep this to yourself. Pick up some leaflets and invite someone to the convention. Invite them and follow them up. You will be making a great impact in their lives.
There is excitement in the air! I can see great things happening. The Spirit of God will move mightily and cause real change in lives and situations in Jesus name. Amen.
Convention Day 2
This is the second day of our convention and we are already saturated! We couldn’t have had a better start and preparation for the full convention than we had last night. The Word, the worship, the prayers and the celebrations were absolutely amazing.
This morning we left off where we started. The choir ministered yet another beautiful song after a most inspiring praise and worship session. Then came Pastor Jon Colyer with a Word that made the whole place to erupt with shouts of praise and a declaration of our authority in Christ. The believer’s authority is a message you must hear. All the messages for this convention will be available at our media desk either as selected messages or as a multipack.
The evening started with an awesome praise and worship session that set the tone for a glorious evening that featured Nicky Rogers who sang 3 songs from her latest album. A multi instrumentalist, Nicky sang two songs playing on the guitar and one with the keyboard. It was absolutely amazing!
Then it was time for our dynamic children’s dance group Inspiration to thrill us to mesmerizing dance moves. And then of course, the Word! Pastor Soji ministered precept upon precept, line upon line giving insight into the river of living waters flowing through us and bringing healing and salvation to the world around us.
We entered the third day of our convention with so much expectation and excitement. The past two days have been amazing beyond words. People are already saying they don’t want the convention to end!
We were blessed by a powerful rendition of ‘Where would I’d been’ by Mikael Nilsen followed by the choir singing ‘Continually’ by Vicky Yohe that was greeted by a standing ovation from the congregation. We then heard the testimony of Nigel Purchase, who was prayed for at last year’s convention. He was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and was placed on one of the most expensive cance medications prior to him attnding the convention last year. He was prayed for and the Pastor declared that he was healed. With faith in this Word he went for a check up and teh doctor declared that he was now much better. Subsequent tests have also shown significant improvement to the amazement of the doctors. Praise God!
Then we heard the Word from Pastor Tony Sheard. He said the Holy Spirit was in us to work through us. He said we have the power to change our communities and our world. That for us believers, we do not trust in our own might or power to accomplish anything for it has to be by the Spirit of God. Then followed ministration and time of worship and word of prophecy as Pastor caleb led us in songs that brought thje whole meeting to a crescendo.
Tonight we start at 7.30pm hoping to take off from where we left off thi safternoon. Pastor Hassan Boyle from Grace Family Church in Dundalk, Ireland will be giving the Word. We are so much looking forward to this! Along with songs by Mikael Nilsen, our choir and dance byInspiration, it promises to be an awesome evening. You don’t want want to miss. Come early. We expect the hall to be full up.
