Hello all, welcome to our very first blog post in the new year and in our newly launched INAV website.
Just very recently I visited some of the brethren in the city of Aba as a follow-up to the Apostolic conference we had last year with Prophet Joses Hizikiah, my initial thought was to share some of the things I shared with the brethren but I am led to instead ask some of the brethren to share their own insights into the things they heard.
That way I can (and you too) hear as the people heard.
By the way, while you are here please take the time and look around the website, I hope it blesses you.
The gathering was focused on the doctrine of Christ. It was devoid of what one would have expected from a beginning of the year fellowship especially in Africa. We did not hear Pastor Tonye release prosperity and breakthrough prophecies.

Massive Outpouring of Grace in Aba
It was a massive outpouring yesterday 15th of January 2024 as Pastor Tonye held an apostolic fellowship with brethren from Aba. Many areas of our Christian faith were touched. For those who have been perennially praying for God to change Nigeria, Apostle Tonye had a shock for them. He stated that God does not change Nations rather God changes MEN who change Nations. The Apostle further revealed that nobody can outgrow deception. As a result, children of God must constantly evaluate themselves to make sure that they are on the right track.
He stated that we are Sons and not just servants. The whole creation since the fall has been waiting eagerly for the manifestation of the Sons of God. The message of the scriptures must be delivered with meekness, humility, and simplicity in line with the apostolic tradition handed over to us.
The gathering was focused on the doctrine of Christ. It was devoid of what one would have expected from a beginning-of-the-year fellowship, especially in Africa. We did not hear Pastor Tonye release prosperity and breakthrough prophecies. We did not hear that this year the Lord will catapult the brethren from their rented one-room apartment to Aso Rock, Maitama, Asokoro or Marina, Lekki etc. We didn’t hear that this year the Lord had determined to dethrone Dangote and miraculously lift the Aba brethren to his position. Nobody heard that this year is your year of financial explosion, marital, academic, political, and economic breakthroughs. In contrast, the Apostle cautioned against what many call success in Ministry. He said that success in ministry is not measured by the amount of money, number of worshippers, types of card private jets, or capacity auditorium a minister parades.
Success in ministry happens when a Minister is in alignment with the mind and the move of God we should know that there is order in the things of God. We must follow the order of things. We must not step out of order. God is no respecter of persons. We must build according to the purpose of heaven. We should not crave to be popular or famous. Christianity is not a popularity contest.
We must be willing to learn, unlearn, and relearn. We receive freely and must be ready to give out freely.
Praise the Lord!
Have a blessed day ahead brethren

My Report
I am grateful to God for the International Network of Apostolic Voices meeting held in Aba, Abia state, Nigeria on 15th January, 2024, by the founder and the members here in Aba, as organized by Pastor Job Maduforo Ohuka and Pastor Wisdom Denis.
The meeting, featured among other things, an opening prayer led by Pastor Emmanuel Abakporo, sharing of the ‘participants certificate’, of last year’s conference held on 13th-15th October 2023, and the Bible teaching by the President Apostle Tonye N. Oliver.
Our president, who is a leading reformer in Nigeria and beyond, who just returned a short while ago from South Africa, provoked, by false teachings and apostasy going on among brethren globally decided to hold a ‘small meeting’, whose intentions, were to meet with the brethren, greet and share the certificates of participation from the last year conference, as well as personally apologize for the issues that caused a delay in distribution of the certificates.
Moved by the false teachings and apostasy going among brethren, He challenged us to be focused on the builder of the church and His foundation. He touched on many areas of Christian faith, among which is the need to pray for God to change Christian’s attitude towards the world.
He majored in the fact that God’s earnest expectations of all creatures are for the manifestation of the sons of God and we are sons of God and not just servants, he emphasized.
When the church’s attitude is changed, from worldliness, it will affect the nations globally. The message of the church must be delivered in line with the master, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but humbled himself to be obedient to God.
The meeting was a moment of reflection to us, against the errors that are being propagated in so many congregations today.
May God Almighty replenish his strength and purse abundantly and satisfy him with a long life and shield him always as he travels from coast to coast in declaring the truth of God in Christ’s name Amen.
Indeed, he is a challenge to many of us who have listened to his teachings. May God Almighty open more and more doors for us as far as this gospel of Truth of God Missions are concerned in Christ’s name Amen.
