Ministers of God and delegates from 71 nations of the world, including Nigeria, attended the 2025 edition of the International Ministers’ Flaming Fire Conference (IMFFC) convened by the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja.
DIGC Senior Pastor, Paul Enenche, disclosed this during the thanksgiving service on Sunday to mark the successful conclusion of the event.
“Seventy-one nations, including Nigeria, attended the ministers’ conference,” Enenche announced during the second service, noting that delegates from Singapore were the last to join.
The conference, themed “Territorial Dominion”, was held from 26 to 30 August in the 100,000-seater Glory Dome auditorium of the church’s headquarters along Airport Road in the Nigerian capital.
Among the nations of the world where delegates came from include Pakistan, India, Australia, Czechoslovakia, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Honduras, Vietnam, China, Malaysia, UAE, The Philippines, New Zealand, Jamaica, Germany, UK, USA, Romania, Canada, Chad, Luxembourg, Gabon, Ghana, and Brazil, which had the largest delegation with about 27 members.
Some of the delegates arrived about a week ahead of the conference’s commencement on Tuesday, 26 August, prompting the church to organise a session a day before. Delegates from 49 nations were on the ground by Monday, but by Tuesday, those from 10 more nations had arrived, increasing the number to 59 and 71 on Thanksgiving Day.
Apart from the ministers who were physically present, thousands of worshippers from different countries and Nigeria’s 36 states followed the sessions of the conference online, especially on the last night (vigil) of the event. Many of them are not members of Dunamis church but are identified with the 29-year-old ministry.
Some of the ministers include Sunday Oguche, Ntia Ntia, Godwin Abba, Kofi Bonsu, Michael Orokpo, Trinity Ogar, George Izunwa, Bulus Baba, and Ben Musa.
American Pentecostal preacher, Bill Winston of Living World Christian Centre, Illinois, Dag Heward-Mills, founder and bishop of Lighthouse Chapel International, Ghana and another American pastor, Steve Brooks, ministered alongside Enenche and his wife, Becky Paul-Enenche.
Gospel artists who ministered at the conference include Chioma Jesus, Michelle Benedek, Manchit Abba, Faith Hezekiah, and others.
Conference sessions
There were morning and evening sessions throughout the five days of the conference. A healing and deliverance service on Tuesday morning preceding the official kick-off of the annual event. The healing service is a routine programme of the church. It is held every Tuesday.
In his opening teaching, Mr Enenche, a trained medical doctor turned cleric, taught on “Territorial Dominion: Philip in Samaria,” noting that Samaria represents the stronghold of evil altar, counterfeit, land of the rejected, wells of ancient revival, the place of God’s move in prophecy, and a place of initial resistance to the Master.
While differentiating between Philip, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ and Philip, who was one of the seven appointed alongside Stephen to serve the table, the Dunamis senior pastor said the latter Philip ministered in Samaria and did many exploits. He noted that, like Philip, “you don’t have to have a calling to minister to people.”
Enenche’s messages in the subsequent sessions dwelt on the ministry of John the Baptist.
He identified 11 things, which must happen to achieve a revival, namely pursuing spiritual impact and influence beyond earthly significance; that God never makes a move where there is disorder; move of the spirit happens where He finds right vessels; that God is no respected of persons but of principles; the Word of the Lord is behind making of His servants; and that revival happens for those who minister according to the pattern of the Lord.
Other things are that every minister is designed to be a voice to command territorial dominion; every minister is designed to possess a cry of the spirit, the assignment of every minister is to prepare the way for the Lord, not stand in the way of the Lord; territorial dominion will command the pull of the multitude; and the ultimate of the minister is to raise a fruit-bearing generation.
For his part, 82-year-old Winston preached on the topic, “Living from the inside out,” during which he spelt out five laws of the kingdom.
The American noted that Nigeria is destined to be a great nation, but that Nigerians have to rise to use spiritual authority to make the country truly great.
Sixty-two-year-old Heward-Mills taught on steps to avoid as a minister of the gospel and also ways to encourage loyalty in God’s kingdom.
The Ghanaian clergyman, who has preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in 39 countries and 251 cities, expressed excitement at the Glory Dome structure, noting, “I have never seen a place like this all my life; Abuja is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa and the Glory Dome complements the beauty of Abuja.”
During the conference, hundreds of lost souls surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ while pastors, who are spiritual sons of Enenche as well as members of the church, shared ear-tingling testimonies.
Also, during one of the sessions, a pregnant woman gave delivered to a baby while 90 babies from 87 families, as well as motor vehicles and houses, were dedicated to God during the thanksgiving service.
The IMFFC is held in the last week of August every year. The conference is a dynamic and spirit-filled gathering designed to equip, empower, and reignite the passion of ministers and church leaders for effective kingdom service. It conference is a divine platform for spiritual renewal, impartation, and a fresh outpouring of God’s fire for impactful ministry.
Apart from the conference, Dunamis also holds the Destiny Recovery Convention in May of every year, the Kingdom Power Glory World Conference (KPGWC) in November and Nations Worship in His Presence in January and July every.
