Sunday was the last day of IGOC, and the evening session was a session we have all been looking forward to. After lunch on Sunday afternoon, my girlfriends and I had our siesta -to ensure we don't doze in Church later on- and woke up just after 4pm. We got dressed, freshened up and went on our merry way to Church by foot.
A few metres from the Church, a young man asked us which direction KICC was, and I told him we were going there as well, so he was free to walk with us. We strode down leisurely, enjoying the breeze, and just generally making conversation. I guess we were too slow for the brother, who after a few minutes told us he now knew his way and walked briskly after the mini crowd that had gathered in front of us. We arrived at about 5.45pm for a service scheduled to start at 6.30pm and I kid you not, we found it almost impossible getting seats. We eventually sourced out three chairs next to each other and spread out our jackets, etc and headed straight to the conference products stand in the exhibition hall. We eventually decided against making purchases, and went back to our seats.
What can I say about that night? KICC went out of Waterden Road with a BANG!!! It was an awesome, awesome experience, and I can't find the appropriate words to quantify what I experienced in the house of God on Sunday night. The artistes were fabulous, we had Alabaster Box, 6-Team, Judy Bailey, Jessie Dixon, Sammy Okposo and Mike Aremu from differen parts of the world, and our very own Xxprexxions, TNT Choir, our MOBO award nominees G-Force and of course, KICC Mass Choir -the best choir this side of eternity as my pastor says.
God's presence was so tangible, I personally felt His presence moving in that house, and I am still revelling in the showers of blessings, mercy and grace He poured out when He opened the heavens on that service. I am convinced that all that was sown throughout this IGOC will bring forth fruit in England and beyond, and all peoples will see the glory of the Almighty God in all the earth. In particular, the theme of this year's IGOC speaks directly to my current situation. I was in a very bad place just before IGOC started, and right now, my only assurance is that I have moved. God's love shifted me away from under the closed heavens I have been operating in. There was a divine interruption in my life's journey, because what the enemy meant for evil, God has turned around for my good.
I am convinced that however tough the battles have been so far, and no matter what victories I have achieved, the war is not over yet. Bring it on devil, God is fighting my corner, and I am not afraid anymore. I am operating under open heavens and there is NOTHING that can stop me now. I don't know how, but I just know within me that whatever I am going through will pass. As long as my destiny is unfulfilled, I SHALL NOT DIE, but live to testify to God's abundant grace and blessings, and His all encompassing love. If He can do it for me, He can do it for you! Trust Him, He is ABLE
