Our times are in God’s hands. Little did I realize that the November 2017 convening of U.S. and African leaders in Smithfield, Virginia would be the catalyst for divine positioning and fulfillment of purpose. It was at this convening of leaders for the Bridging the Gap: The Uganda-US Initiative, where I met Apostle Uche Ndubuisi, Apostle Gbade Akinjide, and Bishop Simeon Chilaka of TRIGA Outreach International.
On the morning of January 19th,2018, I had an encounter with God at Hartsfield-Atlanta Airport enroute to my departure gate to fly to Detroit. After clearing security I rode the train to my concourse, then stepped onto the escalator leading to the gate. As the escalator rose approximately five steps, a portal opened. I can best describe this moment as being engulfed with GREAT love and joy – accompanied with a strong sense of being in the perfect will of God.
Early the following morning while preparing for the TRIGA Conference, the Holy Spirit impressed me with words to decree over the participants…words concerning “a NEW SOUND coming out of Detroit that will shift cities, states, nations and the world – with TRIGA being one of the vehicles to carry forth this NEW SOUND. These words were confirmed the next day by one of our country’s leading prophets, Chuck Pierce, at an event in a different city as he and others prophesied of the “NEW SOUND coming out of Detroit.” God confirmed His word.
The TRIGA Conference was phenomenal, and once again, accompanied with a sense that I was among kin – my people – my tribe – the family of God. From the onset of the conference, each person ministered under the anointing of the Holy Spirit beginning with the intercessor, worship leaders, musicians, moderator and presenters. We experienced the presence and power of God throughout the entire meeting.
My heart is full and I am deeply humbled as I reflect on the goodness and grace of God. He is taking us to new levels in Him, as His change agents, to carry the sound of the Kingdom into all the world!
