Convocation Host
The God First Holy Convocation 2014 will exceed and surpass all previous Convocations. This year’s Convocation will be EPIC (Explosive, Powerful, Inspirational, and Challenging)! Our theme is “Releasing the Power III”. It is my prayer that during and after this Convocation you will tap into the power within you to destroy barriers that have hindered you from being more than a conqueror and an overcomer. We will share innovative ways to release the power to initiate revitalization in your church and community. You will discover how to integrate, as a member, into the life of the church, so you can take hold of the vision,mission and goals of your local church. The God First Holy Convocation 2014 is designed for the entire body of Christ. There will be workshops for Pastors, Laypersons, Men, Women, Young Adults and Youth. This all-inclusive Convocation will show believers how to release the power on the inside so that they may flow in their gifts. When you leave this Convocation, your spiritual gift will take precedence over your corporate qualifications! Join me now in prayer for an outpouring and overflow as we continue to “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God…”
