The Worship and Kingdom Revolution taking place in Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria.

The desire to write this piece came to my heart in December 2017 and I thank God for the grace to be able to write it out now. Many great things are happening in Sapele, but I want to talk about one and different important issues that relate with it. 

Lately, God has been raising more young people to do some very amazing things in the city of Sapele. To be specific, these young people have been putting together wonderful worship and music groups and organising very great praise and worship concerts. You may have noticed some of them if you are a resident or regular visitor to Sapele.

I was privileged to attend one in December 2017 and I was so inspired and grateful to God again for what He is doing in the city of Sapele. There was a prayer and worship session were prayers were made for the city and a song was raised where we all had to say "O Lord, set Sapele on fire for you, for you..." The original song says "O Lord, set my heart on fire for you". 

My heart was so stirred by this prayer and worship session and indeed I see God stirring up a very strong passion for Him and His Presence, for His Truth in Christ and for His righteous ways; that will burn brightly and spread vastly across the city. 

Now this happened in just one of these programs. I know more of such prayers and worship happen in many other programs like this. And like I wrote earlier, it is very young people that are doing these things.

In August about two years ago, I attended a teenagers convention in Sapele (Agape Force Convention) and I was honestly amazed at the level of passion for God as well as the excellence and decorum by which these teenagers comported themselves. One thing I kept saying to myself as I left that convention was that there is hope in our future. 

At this point I want to thank God immensely for every one God has used to mentor and raise these young people doing great things in the city of Sapele. 

Two that I know of are the leaders of The Beloved Mass Choir and the leaders of De Xtreme Unit. I remember attending an all night worship program organized by The Beloved Mass Choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sapele, so many years ago. In this program, I was privileged for the first time to listen to 'The Bishops' minister live. The Bishops were very young guys but their harmonious voices and powerful lyrics and dance steps were just beyond their looks and age. 

The Beloved Mass Choir themselves were just so amazing and usually so many. They were energetic, had great voices and always ministered so powerfully. I think Pastor Gweke was one of their leaders. The Beloved Mass Choir was a great joy and Blessing to the city of Sapele.

De Xtreme Unit which is made up of some of my wonderful friends was another amazing group and they organized very amazing events especially one called 'Back to Base'. I remember they brought Asu Ekiye and so many other wonderful ministers. There was great music, drama, dancing and edifying and inspiring messages. There is one of the leaders of this group called Yoma Victor that I am still not happy with for not taking dancing as a profession. I had never seen anyone who was so passionate, flexible and creative in dancing like him. I expected him to have a dance school by now. Well that is just me and he is really doing well training and inspiring many people financially and in his businesses now. I was really inspired and greatly blessed by all their programs. 

There may be many other groups God used to train, mentor and inspire many of the young people doing great things right now, but The Beloved Mass Choir and De Xtreme Unit are two major ones I know.

I also want to thank all these young people for submitting themselves to training and mentoring. 

Now I want to share three powerful words of encouragement to end this piece. 

1. God is raising more young people in the city of Sapele to do amazing things in other fields. 

I felt this very strongly when I was in Sapele in December 2017. 

Some young people are being inspired and getting ready to make some major moves to do great things in the city of Sapele that have not been done before. Let what is happening in the worship revolution inspire you to cause a revolution in your passion, your field and the area God is stirring your heart. You don't have to organize music concerts like other young people are doing, rather seek to make yourself available for a new revolution that needs to take place in the city. You may not have as much effect as you desire at first but as you keep at it, you will make greater progress and impact and you will grow. It may be in IT or Politics or another dimension of ministry for example. 

If you are a leader or mentor for young people in any capacity, please keep doing the great job you are doing. The future of Sapele depends on it. 

2. There is a special anointing like that which came upon David that is coming upon many young people; but like David, please don't let the anointing get into your head. Keep serving and being committed to the process God is taking you through.

After David was amazingly called from the field and anointed as the next king of Israel, he went back to the field. Think about that for a moment. It was while on an errand another day that he encountered Goliath and I'm sure you know the rest of that story. 

God stirred my heart to say this Word while ministering in a church in Sapele in November 2017 and as I wrote this piece the Word came strong to my heart again. 

3. Greater selfless partnership, cooperation and encouragement is highly needed for the great things God is doing and will still do in the city of Sapele. 

It must start from the Spirit via prayers. I have personally experienced the impact united prayers have had on the city of Sapele. We need to pray much more. 

As much as we can, we also need to encourage what many young people are doing with the necessary resources and finances they need. 

More selfless understanding, networking and working together is also greatly needed by young people themselves.

Conclusion: Greater things are about to happen in the city of Sapele. I can see it and feel it. Let's appreciate God for the good things that are happening and let's work together and trust Him for greater things.
