After an hour of making final touches in the ‘room’, the guests were finally ushered in at about 12:10pm while the instrumentalists played softly in the background. A rendition of ‘Halleluyah’ was sang sonorously by the backup vocals as they went through the process of sound check.
The event kicked off with Hezekiah sax, popularly known ‘Heze sax’. He led the first worship session playing the saxophone. Starting off with a slow rendition of the song: “Miracle Worker,” and then he later moved the tempo into a more groovy beat.

At the end of the worship session, Sophia mounted unto the stage to charge the audience into a prayer session. Bringing forth powerful prayer points and making prophetic declarations upon the people and those listening online. She ended the prayer session with songs of worship and presence of God was made manifest as the audience worshiped along with her.
Heze sax took over once again with the song: “We Worship Your Name,” causing the audience to get back on their feet once again. And with hands lifted high unto the heavens, they communed with the Father. The atmosphere suddenly shifted into another level as Heze sax delved into the well-known “Way Maker” by Sinach. The audience grooved along totally connected as the power of God was so strong.

He declared unto them that they were at the concert to meet with God and nobody else.
Each song moved from one level to an even greater level. There was excitement all over, dancing and jumping filled the room as he went into the third song ‘Holy God You are the Most High’. The music band was pumped with energy as they jumped along with the audience. Even the camera men, a few of them joined in to worship along with the audience.

The room was cloudy with the Glory of God, sweat poured out of individuals, their eyes filled with tears as they went on their knees. Many were hit by the Power of God as stony hearts began to break instantly.

The back-up vocals sang from the depths of their hearts, totally unaffected and unmoved by the heat wave that surrounded the stage. The atmosphere was simply mind blowing and there was a clear hunger and thirst within the people for more of God.
“Every song you hear out of the mouth of Joe Praize was not written by me but were given to me by the Holyghost” He confessed to the audience as the music played softly in the background. “God’s dream and desire is not God with us, but Christ in Us” he declared as a matter of fact to the people as he stylishly moved onto the sixth song “You are Jesus.”.
The deliverance began fully by the eighth song: ‘You are a Powerful God.’ All over the room were hands lifted high, many who were unashamed and desperate laid flat on the ground surrendering totally to God. Chains began to break, shackles let loose as the Power of God hit many. Specific instructions for specific individuals were uttered and prophetic declarations were made.
As they repeated the phrase “Power in Your Name,” Joe Praize ushered three of his backup vocals to freestyle their own versions of the song, the audience screamed with excitement as the vocalists tore down the house with their skillful, sweet and sultry tones. Joe Praize went on to invite two ministers from the audience as they each free styled with a combination with personal testimonies of the power of God at work in their lives.
