Second from left is Senior Pastor, Sesan Emmanuel-Aina presenting a cheque of £1000 to Doreen Lisney of Samaritan’s Purse along with some of the ministers. 

On Sunday the 7th of March, the men rolled up their sleeves to wash cars and sell home baked refreshments to church members after the Sunday worship service.  Church members also voluntarily donated books which were sold after the service with all proceeds going to help the victims of Haiti’s recent earthquake.  In total £580 was raised as a result of the fund raising activities.  The church kindly added to the funds raised making a total of £1000 which was presented to the Samaritans Purse representative, Doreen Lisney at the Friday evening service on the 9^th of April.  Before the presentation, Doreen  gave an overview of the amazing work being done by Samaritans Purse in Haiti.  Pastor Sesan also thanked Church members for their generous support and commended Samaritans Purse for the excellent work being done on the behalf of the people of Haiti.

This Friday we are holding a healing service. Wherever Jesus went, God’s power was always present to heal and to do the miraculous. That same power is available to us today. So if you need healing, restoration or a refreshing physically or emotionally, make every effort to attend this meeting.

I am convinced that you will experience God’s mighty power to bring significant change in your life. No matter how long the sickness or situation has persisted, come ready for a turn-around.

Tell your friends and family, arrive early and get ready for a wonderful evening.

Blessings.

Pastor Sesan

Like any gift, we need to receive it to enjoy it. So would you receive God’s gift today? Will you receive Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. He came, He died and He rose from the dead and He is surely coming back again. It’s easy to receive Jesus. All you have to do is pray this short prayer and mean it in your heart so you can start enjoying this great love of God for you.

So say these words:

‘I thank you God for sending your Son Jesus to die for me and take away all my sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and my Saviour. I surrender myself to Him and I receive the help of your Holy Spirit to live the new life in Christ, in Jesus name. Amen.’

If you prayed this prayer, and would like us to send you some materials that will help you in your Christian walk, please contact us at info@lwic.org.uk.

Thank you.

1. Expectations

A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for £1 each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time; as he passed her pretzel stand, he would leave her £1, but never would take a pretzel.

This went on for more than five years. The two of them never spoke.

One day as the man passed the old lady’s pretzel stand and left his £1 as usual, the pretzel woman spoke to him: “Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you the pretzel price has increased to £1.25.”

2. Questions and Answers

Q:  How does Bob Marley like his doughnuts?

A:  We Jammin’ (with jam in)

Q:  How does Moses make his tea?

A:  HEBREWS it (he brews it)

3. The Peace and Love of God

Following a Sunday service, whilst saying goodbye to his congregation, a vicar was confronted by a usually grumpy parishioner.  The parishioner said to the vicar  “Vicar, your sermon today reminded me so much of the peace of God and of the love of God.”  The vicar, taken aback by this unprecedented praise asked “tell me, what was it about the sermon that particularly reminded you of the peace and the love of God?”  The parishioner replied “Well it transcended all understanding and it endured forever!”

4. Giving up 

Two men — Joe and Tom — were sharing a hospital room.

Joe turned to see that Tom was covered with bandages from head to toe.

Joe asked, “What do you do for a living?”

Tom said, “Well, I used to be a window washer.”

Joe asked, “When did you give it up?”

Tom replied, “Halfway down.”

5. Handyman

A man applied for a job as a handyman. The prospective employer asked, ”

Can you do carpentry?” The man answered in the negative.

“How about bricklaying?” Again the man answered, “No.”

The employer asked, “Well, what about electrical work?” The man said, “No, I don’t know anything about that either.

“Finally the employer said, “Well, then tell me what is handy about you.”

The man replied, “I live just around the corner.”

6. Parenting

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advice them to do it.” (Harry S. Truman)

7. Possibilities

Business leader Mary Kay Ash once said, “If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right.”

8. Men’s logic

The following is perfectly logical to all males.

A wife asks her husband, “Could you please go shopping for me and buy
one bottle of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6.”

A short time later the husband returns home with 6 bottles of milk.
The wife asked him, “Why did you buy 6 bottles of milk?”

He replied, “They had eggs.”

(I’m sure you’re going back to read it again, carefully!)

9. Light of the World

A boy forgot his lines in the Sunday School drama presentation. His mother, sitting in the front row tried to prompt him, gesturing and forming thewords silently with her lips, but it didn’t help. Her son’s memory was blank.

Finally she leaned forward and whispered the cue, “I am the light of the world.”

The child beamed with acknowledgment and in a loud, clear voice so that everyone
in the congregation could hear said, “My mum is the light of the world.”

10. Light & Sound

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until
you hear them speak.

11. The meaning of  Tax

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

(Mon 20th- Fri 24th Feb)

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. Psalm 37: 23-25.(NKJV)

1. Our lives are made up of steps.

4. God is not in a hurry and He is never late.

5. God wants to direct and establish our every step.

6. God busies Himself with our every step (Psalm 37:23, AMP)

12. When God is directing your steps, there will be no stress.

13. God knows where you’re going and He knows how to get you there.

16. A faithful man is a stable man. He shall abound in blessings. (Proverbs 28: 20)

MON: Children; returning to school, academic success, focus, direction, no distractions: Psalm 127

TUE: Relationships; parents, children, families, siblings, friends, colleagues, marriages, for unity and peace; Psalm 133

WED: Salvation of souls; both young and old in and around our community:  Luke 19:1-10

THR: Men; pray against diseases, pray for fulfillment in all areas, to be who God wants them to be: Proverbs 28:20, Proverbs 20:6

FRI: Women; pray against diseases, pray for fulfillment in all areas, to be who God wants them to be: Proverbs 14:1

The above is a very profound statement from the Lord Himself. God says His thoughts and His ways are far higher than ours. Notice it doesn’t say that our ways are not good. Neither does it say that our ways cannot produce some results. What it does say is that God’s ways are not man’s ways. God’s ways are higher, more superior, more effective, more productive than man’s ways. Man’s ways have limitations. God’s ways have no boundaries and they always produce results.

I believe the ways of God referred to here speak of God’s methods. How He does what He does or how He will do what He says He will do. For example when God asked Abraham to go and sacrifice his son Isaac, he did not know how God will provide an alternate sacrifice. Joseph did not know how God would make his dreams a reality. The children of Israel could not have figured out how God will lead them out of captivity. The disciples did not know how five loaves and 2 fishes could feed over five thousand people etc etc.

So what does this mean to you and I? We must not trouble our minds trying to work out how God will do His work in our lives. Don’t try to figure out how He will do what He has promised. What should we do? Focus on His word and believe that His word will surely be fulfilled. Isaiah 55: 10-11 goes on to say that God’s Word shall not return to Him void. It shall accomplish whatever it’s been sent to do. Hallelujah!

This is good news. This should be sufficient for us. We may not know how He will do it, indeed we don’t need to know how He’ll do it, but we are confident that He will do it. We need to just focus on what He says for it shall be fulfilled. Wow! That’s faith! Focusing on the word and believing that it will surely come to pass.

Trying to figure out how God will do it can be an unproductive exercise. It can easily send you down the unbelief route.

In John 6:7-9, Phillip tried to figure out how much money would be sufficient to buy enough food to feed the thousands, and Andrew wondered how five loaves and two small fishes could feed the multitude. Guess what? They needn’t have concerned themselves about how. They should have just believed that Jesus was able to do all things. There is nothing, absolutely nothing too difficult for Him. With God all things are possible. Amen!

What is that thing that God has promised in His Word. Don’t worry about how it will manifest. Believe the Word. Hold onto it and you shall surely see the manifestation. Praise God!

MON: Expectant mothers and those trusting God for the fruit of the womb: Psalm 1, Exodus 23: 25-26

TUE: All our children, listen for God’s leading concerning their future: Psalm 2, Psalm 127

What a great word the Lord has given us for 2011. It is our year of laughter and testimonies. In the above passage, the psalmist tells us how the children of Israel felt when they returned to Zion from Babylonian captivity. It was like a dream. They probably had to pinch themselves several times to make sure that their deliverance was a reality. They had dreamt about it but never thought that it was going to happen for real. They had been in that situation for so long that freedom seemed an impossibility.

Well, we serve a God with whom all things are possible. This year all your dreams will become reality. All your dreams will be fulfilled. In 2011 you’ll be living your dreams in Jesus name. Amen! 

Whatever you’ve been dreaming of or imagining or desiring, rejoice, for this is the year of fulfilment. Whether it is health, finances, marriage, children, work, business, family, promotion, salvation of loved ones or breakthrough in one area or the other, this is your year! Your year will be full of pleasant surprises.

And just like the children of Zion, fill your mouth with laughter. This is not a year to worry. It is not a year to fear (Matthew 6: 31). It is a year of laughter. It is a year of singing. Let your mouth continually be filled with songs of joy! All your friends, colleagues, neighbours, families will testify that the Lord has done great things for you. You will have awesome testimonies. You will have great things to testify about. Hallelujah! Praise God! It is your year of laughter and testimonies. Amen!

Romans 8 (KJV)

Verse 24: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 

Verse 25: But if we hope for what we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Hope is an expectation that something good will happen. It is a desire to see something happen and being confident of obtaining it. The above scriptures tell us that we are saved by hope. A person receives Jesus as their Lord and Saviour after hearing the gospel which is the message of hope.

Hope is required for a person to be saved and I believe hope is also needed to live here on earth. We often hear the statement ‘when there is life there is hope’, I believe that we can also say that ‘when there is hope, there is life’. In fact living without hope is really not living at all.

When you have hope, you believe that what you hope for will happen. Hope is not a probability. Hope in God is not a matter of chance. Hope in God is an assurance, it is a certainty. Amen. Roman 5:5 (NLT) says this hope will not lead to disappointment. What you hope for is not seen but is real. It is tangible. If we see it then there is no need to hope for it.

Everything that we hope for will surely come to pass. We must live with hope. The same hope that we have of sharing eternity with our Lord Jesus is the same hope we must have to seeing the manifestation of all that His Word talks about. Hope for health, joy, peace, long life, prosperity, success, our children and families thriving, marital bliss etc.

When we have hope in God, we need to wait patiently for what we hope for to manifest. Regardless of what’s going on around us, we stay in hope. We stay confident, unperturbed, knowing full well that our expectation shall not be cut off.

From Monday the 18th of October through to Wednesday the 17th of November, we are reading a chapter a day from the book of Proverbs. We have titled this exercise ’31 days of wisdom’. The book of Proverbs is filled with practical wisdom for life and we expect to be further enlightened as we go through these wise words with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Today’s Reading (Nov 17): Proverbs 31.

If you are just joining us, you can start from today’s reading so we are all reading the same chapter. 

It’s that time of the year again!. Operation Christmas Child’s Shoebox appeal has become a major feature in our Church calendar. We all look forward to packing our boxes full of gifts to brighten the face of a child at Christmas time. We collect empty boxes all year round which are then distributed to members, families and friends. Adults and children have fun packing the boxes.

We start packing in September and collection starts in November.

A representative from Samaritan’ Purse visits the church in November to collect the boxes with the help of some of our members who also visit the Samaritan’s Purse depot to help with lifting and packaging. The church makes a financial donation towards this worthy project. Last year we donated the sum of One Thousand pounds (£1000).

Why not join us to put a smile on a child’s face this year by taking  part in our Shoe Box appeal. You can collect empty boxes from the church and if you have empty boxes please bring them along.

Thank you.

To say that this year’s convention was better than the last is an understatement. This convention was in a completely different  league. We started the convention on Thursday night (22^nd July) with a lot of excitement and expectation.  We heard the Word and had a time of prayers and praise. It was a very powerful evening that set the tone for a wonderful and awesome convention.

Every session, the tempo just kept building up and linking up and by Sunday night it reached overflow. We were saturated and intensely imparted with the Word by the ministers. Song ministrations came from the LWIC choir, Pastor Caleb Alalade, Mikael Nilsen and Nicky Rogers. These song ministers were simply amazing. Dance by dynamic group Inspiration, drama and other presentations by the children and our fellowship groups provided an unforgettable experience at this year’s convention.

Every night looked like a grande finale. Then came the Sunday celebration night where we were all toasted to the array of gifts and talents within our church and the body of Christ. After enjoying what was a wonderful presentation, the evening ended with an open floor. We dance, shouted, screamed and had pure joy in God’s presence. We all left with a great sense of fulfilment. We started well and we finished even better. In the words of one of our members ‘we have all been changed and taken to another level spiritually. We will never go back to where we were before this convention. We are going higher and deeper in Jesus name. Amen’

We thank all our visiting ministers, visitors, friends, family and members. Special thanks to all our members who worked tirelessly and selflessly to deliver a smooth and successful convention. What God has started in your life He will continue to perfect in Jesus name. Amen.

Pastor Sesan Emmanuel-Aina 6/08/10

‘We started off with prayers into Praise and Worship led by Pastor Peter. The songs were powerful. After that we had a marvellous song, How Great Thou Art by Mikael Nilsen. It was absolutely wonderful.

Next up was Inspiration with two magnificent dances. Then the choir sang an amazing song called The Word. After we had the word by pastor Hassan Boyle. It was powerful and truthful.

Here are some key points from the message:

• God is predictable. He has revealed Himself and His works to us by His Word.
• God is a Finisher, not just a Starter.
• If God wants you to do something, He will help you by His Spirit to finish it. He will not leave you alone to use your own power and might.

You know that God called you to do something when you finish it.

• The glory of something is in the finish, not the start.
• There is a finisher in everyone.
• Do not concentrate on what is behind but what is ahead.
• Your better days are ahead of you.

Scriptures used

John 4:34; John 5: 36; Acts 13:22; Revelations 1: 8; Isaiah 46:9; Philippians 1:6

By Telemi Emmanuel-Aina (10 years old)

Sunday Programme

Join us Sunday morning at 10.30am for another powerful service. Bring your friends, family and acquaintances along. It’s going to be awesome. We return in the evening for a time of celebration.  Don’t miss this grand finale that will feature various gifts and talent,  songs, dance, poetry etc. See you there. The messages at this convention will be available on Sunday evening as a 6-cd pack. Please place your order at the Media desk.

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.  

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.   

‘…for  by strength shall no man prevail’  1 Samuel 2: 9.

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.

Everything that is made has a purpose. There is no purposeless product. People may not know the purpose of a thing, but it sure has a purpose because things are made to achieve a purpose. Things like the television, radio, lamp, clothes, pens, houses, microwave oven, cars, foods etc are all items that we all know their purpose.

 For a product to be fit for purpose, it has to be doing the job it was designed to do. A television that gives audio without visual images is NOT fit for purpose. On the other hand a radio doing the same job is fit for purpose. As you already know, the television is not fulfilling its purpose while the radio is. If a product is not fit for purpose, it is of no use to anyone.

 Now let’s talk about you and I. If man-made products have a purpose, even more so for us who were made by the Most High God Himself. He made us for a purpose. Rev 4:11 says ‘Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power, for thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created’ (emphasis mine) This scripture tells us our purpose. Our reason for being is to give God pleasure. We live and exist for His pleasure. When God conceived us in His mind, He had a picture of you and I bringing Him joy and pleasure everytime He looks at us. Wow! What an awesome thought!

 We all need to realise and recognise that our primary purpose for being is to bring God pleasure. It is only when we do this that we can say that we are fit for purpose. The great news is that everything we need to give Him pleasure we already have. Every product already contains within it all the necessary components to fulfil its purpose. So also you and I. We have been ‘wired’ to fulfil our purpose. It is in man’s DNA to bring God pleasure. But how do we go about this? Find out in the continuation of this series next week. If you cannot wait, then order our 5-cd series titled ‘Fit for purpose’.

2. Casting your worries and cares upon the Lord. As we read in Matthew 6, worrying does not give solution to problems. Jesus said in the same passage that our Heavenly Fathers knows what we need.

You can overcome worry by handing every care, every situation to God in prayer. God is more than able to deal with every problem. A mountain may seem too high for you but God is bigger than any mountain. Phil 4:6 says ‘Be careful for nothing.’ And 1 Peter 5:7 says ‘Cast all your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you.’ Whatever the situation, give it to God in prayer. Give it all to Him and don’t take it back. When you worry about the situation, you’re taking it back. You don’t have to carry your cares. Cast them upon the Lord He is your Care Taker. His shoulders are big enough to carry the whole world.

Cast them upon the Lord and you take His peace. His peace that passes all understanding will keep, guard over your heart. Peace is a guard against worry. Peace is a sign that you are living a worry free life. When you cast your cares upon the Lord, His peace resides in you.  (Phil 4:6).

3. Enjoy today: most of what people worry about is in the future. We are anxious about what will or what will not happen, where we will end up, how we will deal with a particular issue etc. We get so worked up about what will be that we forget to enjoy what is.

You can overcome anxiety by learning to enjoy today. Appreciate who you are, what you are and what you have today. This will keep you in the right frame of mind to handle tomorrow. Jesus told His disciples not to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself (Matt 6:34). Today is a snapshot of your tomorrow. Learn to enjoy today, and you will surely enjoy tomorrow.

Psalm 118:24 says this- ‘this is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.’ Are you rejoicing in today? Today is a gift to you. Do you appreciate it? Be glad you’re alive, be glad with where you are now. Be glad with what you have now. That is contentment. Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Tim 6:6). Value today. Appreciate today. Enjoy today.

I hope this article has been of great help to you. This is only a summary of the audio sermon series. I suggest you get the audio pack to listen to the full message.

Have a worry free life.

In other words, worrying is a fruitless exercise. But how does one overcome worry? Most people worry, NOT because they want to, but because of what they are facing or going through. Here are some reasons why people worry:

• When we are not in control or when we feel helpless
• Pressure
• Need
• Insecurity
• Delay
• Danger
• Opposition

The above are issues that cause us to worry. However we all know that worry is not only detrimental to us, it also never produces any solution.  So again how does one overcome worry and anxiety?

1. Meditate on the Word of God: since worry is a result of setting out mind on the problem, or the adverse situation, focusing on the solution (what God says about the situation) will help to overcome worry. Notice you cannot worry when your mind is not on the problem. Fix your mind on what God is saying through His Word. This will produce faith and strength in you. It will also clear your mind so that you can hear the Spirit of God ministering the way forward to you through the Word.

To be continued …

To get the full message, you can order our message series titled ‘How to overcome worry and anxiety’ It will bless you tremendously.

But none of these created things can ever compare to you. You are special. You are unique. You have been made just like the Creator Himself. In Genesis 1 verse 26, God said ‘Let us make man in our own image and after our likeness…’. This means you were made with the ability to think, to reason and to act like God. Wow! That is awesome.

One of the ways that you can express your  uniqueness is by being creative. The same way God created the great things that we all admire and find attractive today, you also can create something that people will admire and be attracted to. It could be an idea, a product, a system, an advice, a suggestion, a helping hand or a solution to a problem. Just like God intended with His creation, what you create must bring joy, happiness and a better life for people.

The power to do this is already inside you. You have creative abilities. You were not made just to consume. You were made to produce. And the power to produce is within you.

‘I’ve come for about five services and the time spent at your church has been truly refreshing. I first came to the prayer service the last Wednesday of August and the anointing was wonderful. I came back that Friday and Sunday and had a chance to see what a full service involves. I found that the format was simple and rich in content. The praise and worship with its total focus on Jesus was a delight… ‘

These are just a few of the many wonderful things people are saying about Living Word. You are guaranteed these and much more when you visit us or attend any of our services. The atmosphere is rich with a diverse community of people from across the nations of the world who come together united in purpose: to worship God in spirit and in truth.

Here at Living Word, we just love the Word of God . We help you to reach your full potentials in life, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Everyone is welcome. Come as you are and see what great things God will do in your life. We are a children-friendly church where we are raising our children as leaders for their generation. This is a place where everyone feels at home.

Afterall, there is no place like home

Dear friends,

Convention time is an opportunity for you to refresh your spirit, reinvigorate your body and receive an impartation of the Word of God in a deeper and higher dimension.

Every year in July, hundreds come together to enjoy the beauty of fellowshipping together in unity and experience the tangible presence of God that takes them to a new level of faith and power. It is a time never to be missed.

The theme of this year’s convention is ‘His power and His glory’ and it starts Thursday 17 July (7pm) and finishes Sunday 20 July (10.30pm).

Thursday Night is tagged ‘Intense prayer and praise session’. We start the convention in a big way by getting everyone stirred up and ready for what God will do throughout the convention.

Friday evening is for an impartation of the Word in a new dimension and with a deep revelation of the power and glory of God.

Saturday starts with 2 seminars during the day. The purpose of these seminars is to enlighten the people of God on the convention theme and to prepare and create a hunger within them to receive what God has in store for them throughout the convention weekend.

We have a strong expectation to see a great manifestation of God’s power on the Saturday evening with miracles, signs and wonders happening all around. We will witness a manifestation of His power and His glory beyond measure.

As we come together in one accord and with a hunger for the Word, we will see a mighty outpouring of His power far beyond anything we have ever seen before. God’s glory will not only manifest among His people but all over Slough and surrounding villages and towns. People will literarily ‘feel’ and experience His glory on our streets. Many will be ‘hit’ with the electrifying force of the power of God which will draw them to the Almighty God.

Everyone will leave the convention soaked and impacting lives wherever they go. Boldness and utterance to declare the gospel with simplicity and power will be received. The Spirit of excellence will consume everyone so that they go into their world and begin to prosper. Nothing shall be impossible to us again.

We encourage people to take a holiday during this time so you can get the best of these awesome 4 days of power and glory.

If you need more information, please contact us by phone or email and we’ll be happy to be of service to you.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Sesan and Dunni Emmanuel-Aina.
