TVC Family Centre Launch Report Shaping Destinies for God May 27, 2015 "I have never seen this level of divine interest in anything I have ever built." (Obadiah Mwaura, The Senior Elder, The Voice Community commenting on TFC) Preparation The official launch of The Voice Community Family Centre (TFC) was done on Wednesday, 27th May, 2015 by the Regional Coordinator of Congress-WBN East Africa, Pst. Joseph Njoroge. Upon arrival the RC was taken round TFC by the Senior Elder (SE) even as other members of the leadership and invited guests streamed in to the venue. It was still the SE who invited the RC to speak as the launch begun after making some key remarks to describe the process of the birth of the vision with a summary declaration that everything we build comes from the mind of God. The TFC process has been characterized by God showing His great interest in the whole thing through multiple manifestations of His nature: Mighty Warrior, Holy, Faithful, Provider, etc. It was a validation of a process and the gathering of our sacrifices before the Lord. It was the first time the RC and a number of the members of the Core Leadership in CWBN East Africa as well as other senior elders were interacting with TVC. Three days earlier we gathered as a community in this place to set our foot, pray governmentally and encamp here in an unprecedented TFC Sunday! We came with our families and since then our journey as a community to the TFC launch has been TOGETHER! From then on the levels of expectations have been very high! We did not know what was coming; we only sensed that it was going to be some sort of a spiritual explosion whose extent we still did not know. This was a definitive day both in thanksgiving and prophetic speaking. We acknowledged what God had done so far, affirmed His intent for TFC and received a new apostolic directive and a fresh release of apostolic directive and resource to build into the future. The seed for the future and also for the current standards by which we should build were packaged into a powerful word from God which the Regional Coordinator (RC) captured and released to us through a spirit of fatherhood in a strong decree. Word From The RC: An Apostolic Decree & Prophetic Declaration for TFC “The heart of governmental prayer is the issuing of apostolic decrees and prophetic declarations in accordance with the will of God, which blast the purposes of God deep into the territory held by ancient demonic positions. Governmental prayer represents the changing spiritual character of the Church into a more glorious, more spiritually militant position against the domain of darkness. The global Church is indeed being ‘called be a new name’, as its character and spiritual patterns are being revised away from dead religion into the more urgent patterns of biblical accuracy.” (The Present Reformation of The Church, Dr. Noel Woodroffe) Through the coming of the RC the Lord gave us a ‘new name’ that defined our current state and shaped our future activity. He gave us a new thrust into areas (or nations) of human existence formerly occupied by demonic positions. Our operations have been firmly lifted beyond religious church activity into more accurate expressions of kingdom operations that meet the current purpose of God. At best we can only capture this massive release of divine resource for future kingdom operations through a raw transcribe of his words. The words below represent raw snippets from the original text. Word To TFC by Regional Coordinator on 27.05.15 at TFC Grounds “This is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? I want to change the tone of this meeting to a place where, am just thinking at what Pastor Obadiah has said. We are here, it doesn’t matter where you come from, to thank God for where we have come. That must be the core definer. As I listened to you it’s like, you know the way you want to write a book, you know the way you want to write a book, and the first thing you are looking for is the title of the book. The first thing you do is looking for a title. And it’s like; to me it appears like all you have done is to look for a title in preparation of writing a book. So all these things you see here, all you have is a title of what you want to have. And I was looking, I was listening to the Pastor Obadiah talking about restaurant, ok. Now to me that is just one of the, what do I say, one of the worlds that needs to be conquered. It’s just like one of the, let’s say markets that needs to be invaded. And therefore it’s just a title. When you talk about food production, it’s just one of the areas that requires to be conquered. And you talk about youth, you talk about anything, children, whatever you have talked about here. The whole idea is accept, what I feel in my heart is that this is just a title. A title of a book is not a book. Isn’t it? Because you can’t go sell a title. You need to write the book. And so TVC we need to read the book! We now know the title of the book you are writing but now we need to read the book. I don’t know how long we give you to write the book. But we want to come and read the book. This is just a title and we are so happy for the title. Now we are looking for something deeper. And you can ask yourself if this is a title you know it will have so many chapters, isn’t it? And there are no books of five chapters these days. We want books of several chapters. And every one of you must contribute in the writing of the chapters. Can we say that? (Yes) So we’ll be writing a book, can we agree on that? (Yes) And that is very, very important with what am going to say. Once you understand this is a beginning, we are here to celebrate the short distance we have come because it shows us we can be able to cover the long journey ahead of us. The short distance we have covered is a demonstration. It’s like we were trying to see whether we can run; we were trying to see whether we can move forward. And we have seen, by the way we can run, isn’t it? And so we can now decide we can run. And we are here to say that we are committed for this particular journey. That we are here.” As the RC shared, you could see the balance created in the celebrations to an awakening of the fact that God was delivering a pattern of which many would gather to ask the ways of the Lord. The fact that this was the first interaction by the RC and the members of the Core Leadership in CWBN East Africa underscores God’s interest in TFC and also points to our placement in the larger kingdom and connects with the prophetic word over our SE about his role in the world of families and business. We also had guests invited by various members of TVC including some residents of the surrounding area. Some of the invited officials from the government made brief appearances but could not stay through the function due to other commitments. It was clear that God designed this to be an in-house forum and He carefully chose those who could be part of it. All these created the environment in which God powerfully poured Himself to us. The entire place was covered with pulsations of life from God. Very key declarations were made with regards to TFC: · TFC is a gathering of sacrifices that have been offered by us. · TFC is being built in the context of the Apostolic decree from DNW that, "Global Civilization has become the governing principle in every single operation that we do in Congress.” · TFC is a spiritual process. This is a kingdom initiative. Spiritual development is very important so that while we are building we are also being built. God is not very interested with the outcome of a physical building. · This is one of the best ways of building a community. Beyond the pulpit there is that aspect, the reality of people interacting; people doing things together. It causes growth in terms of community dynamics. · TFC is a spiritual warfare for destiny. Do not attack people for their mistakes; see their hearts. · TFC is a gathering of worship. A place of sacrifice and worship. In this place people come and lay to the altar their lives, their skills & their talents. · TFC is a place of the expression of the manifold wisdom of God. It is a part of the building of an economy of a great and wonderful nation. It is an initiative that allows the kingdom community to go beyond religious activity. · TFC is driven by the voice of His command; not the need of the society. Our relevance is based on the current demands of God in this place and at this particular time. If it is not in God's mind it is not worth building. · We are not here to export food but to export patterns. · Whatever we are building is always greater than us. · TFC is an expression of the apostolic grace that is in DNW. Everything here is by the grace of God. Inside of this expression of worship and commitment we made prayers and lifted up our hands in gratitude again and again as led by the RC. He then released us to go for the grand launch of the TFC by cutting a ribbon at the entrance of Sheba Diners. This was followed by a wonderful lunch in which all the guests and the rest of the community sampled the meals that shall be served in Sheba Diners and Faitha Foods. It was a glorious sharing akin to the celebrations of the children of Israel when they had occupied their promised land before they began to build. The rains poured soon after and we took that as symbolic of the release of divine resources to water our land for fertility now that the seeds of apostolic decree have already fallen into our hearts. We are ready to go!
