The Experience has come again, This year’s event is going to be a
Special Command Edition holding on Friday 2nd of December, 2011 from
5pm to 1am. This is very different from the 5 previous editions that was held
at the Tafawa Balewa Square(TBS) . The Experience has been known as the world’s
largest gospel music concert and the largest music event in Africa with last
year’s edition recording over a million people in attendance.
The Experience has featured
artists such as Don Moen, Kirk
Franklin, Ron Kenoly, Cece Winans, Israel Houghton, Donnie McClurkin, Kurt
Carr, Bebe Winans, Tye Tribbett, Lionel Petersen, Panan Percy Paul, Papa San,
Phil Driscol, Mary Mary, Micah Stampley, Judy Jacobs, Mike Aremu, Isreal
Houghton, Sammy Okposo, Fred Hammond, Chevelle Franklyn, Lara George and the
Chosen Treasure Choir and a lot of indigenous gospel artistes.
This year’s event will be holding at the New Expo Hall of the Eko
Hotels, Victoria Island Lagos which is limited in space hence the need for
tickets for attendance. The tickets were however given out free. This was
achieved by giving codes upon registering on a ticket portal. These codes were
later used to redeem tickets for the event. The codes were limited and
therefore ran out in a short time. Its not easy trying to compress an event
that has about a million people in attendance into 6000.
This year, there are
also many ways to experience The Experience. There will be live-streaming of the event on The
Experience website and on these other pages:

Chapter 28:9 God has no use for the prayers of the people who won't listen to him
Why Pray to God if you wont listen to him? Some versions call it an abomination. He is not a magician, He wants us to believe his word and walk according to his will concerning us. Don't turn a deaf ear to his counsel, direction, instructions and reproof
Chapter 27:6 Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy [are] deceitful.
When our friends reprove us or tell us our faults it might be painful and sometimes its like a wound. it is supposed to correct us and move us from our comfort zone. A friend will correct you in love, not with a wrong motive. The enemy will only show an open love and secret hatred.
Chapter 26:4-5 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
To “answer a fool according to his folly” means to descend to his level of reasoning, coarse anger and abuse; in 5 it is to say the right word to him at the right time, to expose his lack of wisdom, not by a telling him what is beyond his comprehension because it will be useless to him. Answer a fool in your own wisdom and not in his foolishness. Don't come down to his level!
Chapter 25:28 A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out
Imagine a house without doors and windows, there is free entry and exit, there is no restraint. So is a man without self control, He is without restraint, his desires are not controlled. he is exposed to sin, snare and temptations. A wise man is of good character, He has the rule of his own thoughts, his desires, his inclinations, his resentments, and keeps them all in good order.
Chapter 24:10 If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place.
Trials and temptations are bound to come. When they come, yielding to them, getting discouraged, growing weak shows how much of strength we have stored up.Our strength is not tried till we are in trouble. Staying courageous even in trying times is a measure of our strength. Understand that we do not have any strength of our own. Without God, we can do nothing, Therefore in time of crisis, holding on to God is the surest source of strength.
