The brand called ‘The Experience’ can
hardly be termed new to the ears of Nigerians. It sparks excitement,
faith and anticipation every time it is mentioned.
For a decade, The Experience, hosted by
Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has served as a gateway to the secret place of
the Most High for Christians and non Christians alike. It has commanded
the desire of Nigerians and foreigners to praise, pray and worship like
they can no where else.
When it debuted in December 2006, it was
mostly thought of as an over excited gathering of Christians who would
soon loose their spark. Although 70,000 people gathered to praise that
year, it was hardly impressed in their hearts that it would metamorphose
into something bigger in the coming years. But then such is the hand
work of the Most High God; using the little things to make the most
incredible impact.
In 2007, eyes and ears were tickled with
surprise as over 250,000 worshipers gathered from all over Africa to
exalt the name of the one true King. International ministers were
invited in to lead God’s children in deep and secret places, where their
hearts can find expression in worship.
Even when the rains came in 2008 to
disrupt the flow of God’s agenda, the worshipers were unapologetic in
their resolve to pray and praise. With the miraculous flow of
testimonies, Nigerians were unrepentant in their resolve not to
compromise on their 11 hours of worship and praise.
In its own unique and divine way, The
Experience has created a culture of putting aside political ties,
religious differences, tribal diversities and class barriers in exchange
for a few hours of uninterrupted praise and prayer. Nigerians and
foreigners alike have come to understand the powerful importance of
coming together to seek the face of God through the gateway of praise
and worship. The legacy of love, unity and unbridled expression of faith
as represented by The Experience Lagos cannot be denied even in years
to come.
It is no wonder that Ministers and
worshipers alike are stoked about the Experience Lagos 2016. The likes
of Donnie McClurkin who has adopted an Igbo heritage, Micah Stampley who
many believe is originally Nigerian and Don Meon who finds peace in
worshiping amidst Nigerians are eager to climb the Experience stage.
Other blessed and powerful gospel artistes like Frank Edwards, Travis
Greene, Tope Alabi, Cece Winans, Gabriel Eziashi, Eno Michaels, Chioma
Jesus, Nwando, Tim Godfrey, Midnight
Crew, Smokie Norful and Samsong will be ministering on that much
anticipated night! No doubt, Nigerians are soaked in anticipation of the
11th edition of The Experience.
As The Experience is set to “Reveal
Jesus” in a new dimension this December, we are all invited to put all
worries aside and come join in sending an avalanche of praise up, so
that God’s blessings can indeed rain down.
