As dusk settles on the bustling city of Lagos on Friday, December 6, 2024, something extraordinary begins to unfold. Thousands will gather under the open skies at Tafawa Balewa Square, as they have for the past 18 years, united by one anthem: JESUS WINS. This year, House On The Rock Church will once again host THE EXPERIENCE, an all-night gospel music concert that will start at 7 pm and run all the way until dawn on Saturday.
Leading the hundreds of thousands gathered at the venue, and the millions who will join online in worship, are Travis Greene, Donnie McClurkin, Chevelle Franklyn, Chee, Israel Houghton, Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Mercy Chinwo, Ebuka Songs, Adeyinka Alaseyori, Sinach, Frank Edwards, Prinx Emmanuel, Mr M & Revelation, Moses Bliss, Micah Stampley, Bidemi Olaoba, and the Lagos Metropolitan Gospel Choir (LMGC). The event will also feature Rachel Adewale and Precious Emmanuel, among others.
Despite being attended by notable dignitaries and leaders in government, politics, the diplomatic corps, business, and the Church, THE EXPERIENCE remains a free-to-attend concert, allowing people from different age groups, socio-economic classes, or religious beliefs to partake in this incredible night.
THE EXPERIENCE continues to be a time for believers across denominations, cultures, and nations to come together and offer praise to God. This year, with the theme JESUS WINS, the message is one of unity and victory in the face of the daunting economic and social challenges here in Nigeria and the atmosphere of uncertainty and unrest across different parts of the globe. The night will echo with a collective victory shout, one that declares Jesus as the light and the only hope of the world.
When the sun rises on Saturday, December 7, 2024, one thing will be clear in Lagos and around the world—JESUS WINS.
