Pastor Mrs Nkechiye Agiliga Okhiulu
The mood was electrifying, as joy and excitement filled the church auditorium at the seventh edition of the Refocus Global Music Concert held in Benin City, Edo State.
The two-day gospel music concert, which commenced on Saturday, August 1, and ended on Sunday, August 2, 2026, featured a vibrant display of artistry, quality entertainment and cultural dance.
A major highlight of the event was a music competition between the Aces Choir of Refocus Global Vision and the Possibility Choir of Assemblies of God Church, Ekeawan Road.
Speaking at the event, the President of Refocus Global Vision, Pastor Mrs Nkechiye Agiliga Okhiulu, said God gave her the vision to bring healing to the hurt, the brokenhearted and the discouraged.
She said many Christians, despite being partakers of the grace of Christ, do not realise that Jesus has delivered the world into their hands through His death and resurrection.
According to her, the theme of this year’s edition, “The Journey to the Hill,” represents the process of moving towards one’s destination, stressing that Christians must allow God to take them through the necessary processes of dedication, patience and perseverance.
“There is this August Meeting we do have every year and it is Refocus Gospel Concert and it is a deliberate act, and what the Lord wants us to project is to make Christians know that the whole world has been handed over to them through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yes, the first Adam sold it to the devil, but Jesus died, paid and brought it back to the church. God has given us the mandate to heal
the hurting, those who think they can’t make it to stardom, because of what they are going through, especially Christians.“We are trying to bring them to limelight and to the manifestation the world is looking for, in Romans chapter 8, the bible say that the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, there is need for us to manifest. Isiah chapter 9 vs 6 says that “unto us a child is born, onto us a son is given.” That means a child can be born and he does not manifest, because he is still a child, so it takes dedication, allowing God to direct your steps to become a son.”
Continuing, Pastor Agiliga Okhiulu said the theme of the programme was designed to encourage Christians to trust God through the various stages of their lives before reaching their desired destinations.
“This year’s theme is “the Journey to the Hill”. We should let God take us through the process to the hill. It takes time! It is dedication!!
“God is looking for people of influence, in the seven pillars that rules the earth, God is looking for people of influence, not just people, but christians. Who knows their worth, so that they can shape the world, while waiting for the return of Christ.
“Every year gets better, like we have not gone to the social media before, but this year. This is a step forward, this year was massive.
“When God called me, he asked me to go and raise quality leaders for him and this quality leaders, some are still in the world., many of these leaders are still in the valley of indecision, many are still hurting, so God told me go and heal the hurting and bring out quality leaders.”
