GOD MADE IT HAPPENED WOMEN IN MINISTRY CONFEREENCE MADRID SPAIN 21-23 OCT 2021- ARRIVAL TESTIMONY.
The registration for the conference started some months before the conference held and one major issue is the challenges with traveling (visa, covid test, vaccination, extra cost of traveling etc) in the past years, this were not an issue but the event around the world in the last one year changed everything. So I knew and trusted God to make it happened, we held the conference online last year and that was the only time we didn't gather since 2017 physically and so there was a challenge of those who are now complacent with sitting at home but one by one the Lord selected those who will attend and they attended courageous some took the covid test twice in about 5 days to come and to go back. Some who were not planning to be vaccinated before went ahead to do as they want to travel to the conference venue the mountain established by the Lord to strengthen his female ministers. My husband and I were challenged by this courage and proceed to go forward empowered by the Lord. I kept proclaiming and declaring that God will make it happen. The cost of hosting is high but we trusted the Lord and he made it happened. I'll share that testimony in another post.
So the women of God started arriving as early as 11am on Wednesday 20th, about 24hours to start the conference. Two women of God arrived ahead of me in Madrid I was delayed in my journey from my city to Madrid. Immediately I contacted the hotel they checked them in and I later joined them as others began to arrive. Our official driver made several trips to the international airport picking from various terminals till almost midnight on Wednesday 20th Oct. These courageous women of God who had come to seek the Lord arrived cheerfully and went back more joyful. Prayers have gone ahead into the conference as we asked the Lord to bless them extraordinarily as they paid the sacrifice to attend and God did.
First country to arrive at the conference venue was IRELAND, UNITED KINGDOM, BELGIUM, SPAIN, NETHERLANDS, NIGERIA, SWEDEN, GERMANY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FINLAND, AUSTRIA. 11 countries in all... Hallelujah! It was the fifth edition of the conference and the Lord said it's a determining one so the conference was quite different from past editions. New program was introduced one of such is the morning devotion after prayer walk and then the testimony night after dinner where we put on the conference tshirts. Our tshirts was beautiful and we're designed and many participants picked it up. At the morning devotions, our seminar speakers ministered the word to us while we share testimonies every night.
One of the KEY things that stood out this year was that the women of God came hungry to get all from the Lord. They were not ready to waste their sacrifice of traveling them and so the atmosphere in the conference was fully charged even when we prayed together on arrival and then from day 1 prayer walk(7:40am) the power fell on us and slain us even while we were praying. The women of God who gave the charge alongside with me for the morning devotion spoke deep words from the mouth of God. I took the devotion on Day 1 (Thursday) LAND HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD while Pastor Alphina ByFaith (USA) took us on Day 2 morning devotion on TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR SEASON and Pastor Folake Henshaw (UK) on Day 3 on A CALL TO ARISE.
Thursday Day 1 and Day 2 Friday night were filled with diverse testimonies from past conferences and the ongoing conference. The power of God was evident in our midst and we glorified Jesus for his awesome works. We returned back to our room glorifying the Lord and our faith stirred up to trust the Lord the more. The third night and last night at the conference was dedicated for Thanksgiving. Indeed GOD MADE IT HAPPENED. The summary of the early morning programs and night programs is that our expectations were not cut short... hallelujah!
