Last night we celebrated the 15th edition of Praise Night with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. This was the culmination of the International Cell Leaders Conference (ICLC) 2023 with Pastor Chris.
It has been a time of abundance, learning, and growth as the cell leaders joined Pastor Chris to celebrate soul-winning exploits across the ministry. Cell Leaders and Cell Executives from different nations of the world converged on the LoveWorld Grounds for an extraordinary time of fellowship with God’s Word.
Pastor Chris imparted wisdom and knowledge
Pastor Chris often speaks about the difference between the Old and the New Testaments. “There is a huge difference between the life of the Old Testament and the life of the new. In the Old Testament, they were told to obey the commandments. In the New Testament, we are not called to obey, we are called to live,” he said at the last Praise Night.
“Christianity began from the resurrection, not from the death or before the death,” he continued to say.
“Those in the Old Testament worshipped God according to the Old Testament. That was the testament of their day. That was God’s will. In the New Testament, it’s a new will.”
Pastor Chris emphasizes the importance of praising God saying: “You have been created for God’s praise. When you praise God, you’ll discover that you have no sense of need.”
The Pastor Chris Live Unending Praise
Because of the importance of praising God, Pastor Chris started a year-long, round-the-clock chain of unending praise and worship to God.
The maiden edition was held in the month of June 2022 and was a most uplifting program, which set the stage for this next phase, which began on March 27, 2023, and will run till March 27, 2024.
The praise runs in blocks of 30min every single hour of every day for the whole year.
Today is Day 77 of Unending Praise.
There are results in praising God
Praising God will effect a change. Pastor Chris tells us that our praise of God has to be according to our dispensation, where we live in God’s calendar, His prophetic timing, and where we are with God.
“The Word is what God uses to mold your personality, form your character, create your habits, and chart your course in life in order for you to arrive at your destiny,” the Man of God, Pastor Chris has told us.
According to him, our responsibility is to be prepared always, and that is done by living our life for the Lord every day. “Keep walking in love, and our faith will be activated to be caught up to be with the Lord at His appearing,” Pastor Chris has reiterated.
“Always, when you praise God, it’s got to have meaning; it’s got to have content. The content is the fruit of your lips, giving thanks to His Name.”
Code RABAH
Last year at the ICLC 2022, Pastor Chris launched ‘Code Rabah’, by saying: “It’s time to multiply, enlarge and excel. For the next half of the year, every cell, ministry department, SBOs, and all ministry arms should determine to ‘Rabah’,” the man of God instructed.
Each year, this gathering of gospel leaders serves as a great catalyst for the growth and transformation of any ministry. With pastors and leaders constantly pouring out their wisdom and unveiling profound insights to their followers, this conference is one of great refreshments for them. It is a time to be filled and encouraged to continue the mission of soul-winning and evangelism genuinely and wholeheartedly for God.
The ICLC with Pastor Chris has always served as a time for God to speak promises and direction over His Church.
