In 2003, I received an instruction from the LORD to start a breakfast outreach in our neighborhood, inviting a few friends and neighbors living in our area and beyond. The breakfast outreach took place every 2nd Saturday of the month for two hours in the morning. At each of these meetings, we had a great time of worship, sharing the word, and it also became an avenue for reaching out to those who were yet to know the LORD.
At one of these breakfast outreaches, I clearly recall that Minister Nathaniel Bassey was invited to lead a time of worship. During his ministration, the atmo- sphere was so charged and there was an evident presence of God at the meeting. Many were slain in the Spirit as they lay flat on the floor in worship of our LORD. Right there, I heard the LORD speak expressly to me to gather the people one night and just worship Him all through the night. He said there should be no preaching, but it should be a “NIGHT OF WORSHIP.”This instruction birthed the NIGHT OF WORSHIP, and the scripture the LORD gave me is Acts 16:25, “At midnight Paul and Silas sang praises to God.”
This was the beginning of the NIGHT OF WORSHIP in our home – in our living room. We started to hold the meetings once every quarter and God started to move. In a short while, the living room became filled to capacity and could hardly accommodate the worshippers; it spilled to our dining and stairway as the numbers increased. We gathered as a people at midnight, sang praises to our King and He did marvel- ous things in the lives of many. In 2010, the Almighty God spoke again to me and instructed me to take the NIGHT OF WORSHIP to the church (Joshua Ville), as He wanted to take it to another level. We thus started to hold the NIGHT OF WORSHIP at the Incubator and did so until it became clear that we needed a new venue to accommodate the increasing crowd. We moved from using a venue to using open and larger grounds. The LORD has shown Himself as the God of the vision by always making a way regarding a suitable venue. He has sent people our way who have keyed into the vision and supported us in unimaginable ways with their time and resources. What the NIGHT OF WORSHIP has become today is a testament to God’s faithfulness, the ONE who is limit- less in power and unending in resources. In its 10th Edition this year, I am in awe of God and truly humbled that what began as a result of simple obedience has become a source of blessing to us all. The testimonies and transformation of lives confirm that this is indeed on the LORD’s agenda and He is the God of NIGHT OF WORSHIP. NOW OVER THE YEARS… The Night of Worship began in 2010 with ‘Cloud of Glory,’ an all-night worship encounter featuring
