2014
EVENTS @ SGC MAKURDI
It
is the end of the year and it is the most natural thing to look back over the
events and happenings of the year 2014, counting our blessings and giving God
thanks for all. At Savannah Grace Chapel Makurdi it has been quite the eventful
year. God has been faithful. Check out how sweet our year has been:
·
January
We
kicked off the year with a great New Year Service -Notable Overflow and The
Lord Is Our Help! Indeed He was our help as we continued with our annual prayer
cruise and our very first edition of Savannah Ministries Bible School Volume 1
with a little over 25 people in attendance. And we had instructors come from
Headquarters too.
·
February
The
month of February saw us moving church venues – from a smaller place to a more spacious
hall. Also, we had an unplanned but wonderfully pleasant visit from our dear
General Overseer, Reverend Arome Adah. We also had two notable birthdays: Ojoma
and Isaac. Beautiful month, I’ll say!
·
March
The
month of March saw us moving venues again – to a better venue, of course. We
also had our Easter-Thanksgiving Service. It was a great service as we broke
bread and gave thanks to God with dancing, celebration, offerings and great
rejoicing.
·
April
We
had 2 fellowships start up this month: Interdenominational Christian Fellowship
at Nigerian French Language Village, Badagry by our brother Isaac Oche, and
Savannah Grace Fellowship, Afe Babalola University by our brother and the
present co-ordinator, Daniel Obekpa. The Gospel is reaching to the very ends of
the earth, Glory to God.
·
May
In
the extraordinary month of May, we hosted our Special Sunday Services. It was a
wonderful five weeks as we enjoyed diverse ministries and church took a
different turn with the Jersey Service, the Newsroom Service and the Red Carpet
Service. We enjoyed the ministry of Pastor Segun from Father’s Delight
Ministry, Zaria, Wing Commander David Osuh Amuneni and Pastor Mrs Jennifer
Tokula from Christ Family Ministries. Yes indeed, church was packed in May and
every single person had an experience. Glory!
·
June
Virtuous
Ladies! Yes. Our Virtuous Ladies fellowship held her very first Ladies
Convention and it was super awesome to say the least. We had ministering to us
Mrs Ifejola Opara, and even the brothers were blessed. God is faithful. And of
course, our Virtuous Ladies head had her birthday in June as well. God is
faithful.
·
July.
The
mushy but happy month of July had us holding our Pastor’s Appreciation Day. We
packed much appreciation in that one day, not without much emotion and tears,
for our dear Pastor, Pastor Adah Igah; an inexplicably huge blessing to us all.
We also celebrated his birthday in July. Church office officially opened in
July as well. It was simply getting better with the progress of the year.
·
August
Our
biggest event for the year, Miracle and Healing Convention Makurdi, took place
in the month of August. It was such an explosion. We had with us our General
Overseer, Reverend Arome Adah and the President of Gloryland Ministries,
Reverend Emma Opara. There were loads of testimonies, our finances shot to the
sky and we released our first church bulletin. Great days!
·
October
As
we trusted for church planting, we reached our tentacles out to Lafia and
hosted Miracle and Healing Convention Lafia. Our General Overseer, Reverend
Arome Adah was powerfully present and he declared the church in Lafia open. So,
also, Savannah Grace Chapel Lafia happened in October 2014.
·
November
2014
was a year of firsts for us at SGC Makurdi. The fellowship at Afe Babalola
University hosted her first meeting, Moments With the King, with Pastor Deji
and Minister Ozo Opara from SGC Abuja. It was a mighty meeting that further
opened the school to us, both the authorities and the students. God is
faithful!
In
Makurdi, we also hosted our first concert, The Creed. It was a great concert
and a wonderful time in God’s presence as we were blessed by diversities of
ministries: dance, song, rap etc.

December
December
has been super awesome. With the increase in numbers in church, we travelled
for Savannah Campmeeting with three buses and a car. Glory. We also got
elevated when our Pastor was made Assistant Director, Directorate of Churches,
Savannah Ministries Worldwide Incorporated.
We
have been having a wonderful time praying since we got back from Campmeeting
2014, which will end temporarily today for the purpose of the holidays, and
pick back up on the 5th of January 2015.
2014
has been a great year. The Lord is indeed our Helper and we have seen notable
overflow in our finances, in our lives as individuals and as a church, in our
businesses, in our gifts etc. God has been faithful and we are a people that
choose to remember His goodness to us. He is faithful and we keep our eyes on
Him as He keeps taking us through the best seasons, times and places in our
lives.
Awesome year... I call it 5 years experience packed into one... can't wait for 2015. Thanks guys for making 2014 worth it. You are like God and I love you... Ochanya.
