In this video, our global lead pastor, Pastor  @okodughaolushola  teaches that true Christianity is more than religion, spiritual experiences, or material blessings; it is about knowing Christ and reflecting His character. Generosity is a core value of the Christian faith because God Himself is a giver. (Philippians 3:7–10; John 3:16)Pastor Shola wraps up the teaching by indicating that generosity goes beyond money; it is expressed through love, forgiveness, sacrifice, and meeting the needs of others. True revival must produce character transformation, selflessness, and a community where people care for one another. (Acts 4:32–35; 1 John 3:16–18)This message will help you:- Understand generosity as a foundation of the Christian faith.- Examine and overcome selfishness and greed.- Express love through practical acts of giving and service.- Prioritise character transformation over spiritual appearances.- Become a blessing to others with what God has entrusted to you.Reflect and ask yourself: "Does my faith produce generosity, love, and selflessness, or am I focused only on my personal blessings?"True Christianity is revealed not only in what we receive from God, but in the love and generosity we extend to others.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

ABOUT NXTCONNXTCON is an intentional gathering of thinkers, builders, and culture-shapers under The New movement, designed to equip the next generation of creative minds and visionary leaders with the insight, spiritual depth, and practical frameworks required to influence cities and nations.

This powerful panel conversation between top Music industry icons such as  @Boy_director   @Spyro__Official  @Dr.foy  @GaiseBaba   @iconoreoluwa  explores the rise of Afro Gospel, Christian creativity, culture shaping, excellence, branding, funding, influence, and the responsibility of believers to take the Gospel beyond the walls of the Church.The conversation emphasizes that a new generation is emerging - a Joshua generation that must trust what God is saying in its own time rather than simply copying what previous generations have done. God works across generations, and every generation must have the courage to recognize the vehicle through which He is moving.From music and filmmaking to visual storytelling and entertainment, the panel challenges Christian creatives to pursue excellence without losing the central mission: revealing Jesus and reaching people.Key Lessons from the Conversation:1. Trust God’s Direction - Creativity has no single formula. Learn your craft, pursue originality, but remain sensitive to God’s timing and direction.2. Excellence Attracts Opportunity - Funding often follows excellence. Christian creatives must reject mediocrity and produce music, visuals, branding, performances, and experiences that can compete globally.3. Afro Gospel Needs Investment - Great ideas require resources. The Church, Christian professionals, business leaders, and investors must intentionally support creatives carrying the Gospel into culture.4. Your Industry Is Your Mission Field - Not everyone is called to a pulpit. God needs believers positioned in music, film, business, entertainment, media, government, technology, and every sphere of influence.5. The Gospel Must Leave the Echo Chamber - The people who need the Gospel most may be the people who hear it least. Christian music, films, art, and creative expressions must intentionally reach audiences beyond the Church.6. Protect Your Secret Place - Public influence must be sustained by private consecration. God publicly amplifies what has been developed, tested, and approved in secret.7. The Church Must Support the Movement - If Afro Gospel is going to grow globally, believers must support the artists, creatives, institutions, concerts, projects, and platforms advancing the Gospel through culture.The panel also challenges Christians to rethink the idea that anything associated with Jesus must look small, outdated, or mediocre. If we serve an excellent God, that excellence should be reflected in our storytelling, branding, music, fashion, filmmaking, production, and execution.This conversation will help you:1. Understand the growing influence of Afro Gospel.2. Discover the relationship between creativity and God’s timing.3. See your career or industry as a platform for Kingdom influence.4. Understand why excellence, branding, collaboration, and funding matter.5. Recognize the importance of spiritual covering and consecration.6. Move beyond copying others and discover your authentic creative expression.7. Understand the role of the Church in supporting Christian creatives.Watch, reflect, and ask yourself:"What has God placed in my hands, and how can I use it to take the Gospel further?"The time for Christian creatives to merely participate in culture is passing. It is time to create, influence, build, collaborate, fund, and take territory with excellence.#afrogospel #afrogospelmusic #gospelmusic #christianmusic #christiancreatives #christianartists #gospelartists #africangospel #nigeriangospelsongs #christianentertainment #christianculture #faithandculture #kingdomculture #CultureShaping #kingdominfluence #christianinfluence #christianleadership #christianconference #NEXTCON2026 #KnightsAndBishops #ChristianPanel

In this video, Reverend  @juliankyula2961  teaches that believers are not merely called to withdraw from culture or wait for a future takeover. We are called to occupy - to enter systems, industries, institutions, marketplaces, media, government, finance, education, technology, and culture with spiritual intelligence, wisdom, excellence, and a clear Kingdom assignment.There is a difference between takeover and occupation. Occupation requires discernment, strategy, collaboration, wisdom, and the ability to function within existing systems without losing your identity or convictions.Using the examples of Joseph, Daniel, Esther, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the message shows that God often positions His people inside systems they did not create so they can influence, interpret, solve problems, and represent His Kingdom from within.Key Lessons from the Message:1. Understand Your Season - Do not try to reproduce a Moses method in a Joshua season. God remains the same, but His instructions for different seasons can change.2. Occupy With Wisdom - You may not control the entire system, but you must become valuable enough within it that your presence cannot be ignored.3. Collaboration Over Competition - The Kingdom requires different people carrying different graces to work together. Bishops, knights, priests, marketplace leaders, mentors, and professionals must complement one another rather than compete.4. Spiritual Intelligence Is Essential - Influence cannot be sustained by talent alone. The spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord must govern how believers navigate the marketplace.5. Influence Has a Purpose - Your platform, relationships, visibility, wealth, opportunities, and access are not merely for personal status. They must ultimately serve a redemptive purpose for people and for generations.6. Build Redemptive Solutions - Business, finance, housing, education, media, and other industries can become tools for solving problems, restoring dignity, and advancing God’s purposes in society.The message also emphasizes the importance of mentors and interpreters. Esther needed Mordecai. Joseph had to learn how to function in Pharaoh’s system. Daniel needed wisdom to survive Babylon without becoming Babylonian.Believers must therefore learn how to enter culture without being reshaped by it.This message will help you:* Discern the difference between occupation and takeover.* Understand how to function effectively in the marketplace.* Recognize the importance of wisdom, understanding, counsel, and spiritual discernment.* Build influence without losing your convictions.* Embrace collaboration instead of competition.* See business, media, finance, education, and leadership as Kingdom assignments.* Use your influence to create redemptive solutions for people and society.Watch, reflect, and ask yourself:"Am I simply trying to succeed within the system, or has God positioned me there to redeem something?"God is raising a generation of redemptive business owners, engineers, leaders, creatives, influencers, financiers, and marketplace champions who will not only prosper personally, but will use their influence to transform lives, systems, and generations.#kingdominfluencer #marketplaceministry #christianleadership #kingdomleadership #christianbusiness #faithandbusiness #kingdombusiness #christianentrepreneurs #ChristianProfessionals #marketplaceministry #christianinfluence #CultureShaping #kingdomculture #faithandculture #christianmotivation ——ABOUT NXTCONNXTCON is an intentional gathering of thinkers, builders, and culture-shapers under The New movement, designed to equip the next generation of creative minds and visionary leaders with the insight, spiritual depth, and practical frameworks required to influence cities and nations.——

In this message from NEXT CON 2026, Pastor  @POlakunleSoriyan-ng4ft  teaches how Christians can shape culture instead of criticizing it, and how to carry the fragrance of Christ into every space they enter. Drawing from Ezekiel 11 and 2 Corinthians 2:14, he shows that sin has a blueprint, that misbehavior is often a system, and that those who design evil are intentional. Believers must therefore be just as intentional about designing what is good.Pastor Kunle explains that a perfume is intentional, not a default, and that we are the sole producers of the energy we carry into every room. Like a lion that does not know it is king, a believer who does not understand the weight of their honor will never experience the fullness of it. As kings and priests, we are called to know our place and operate with purpose.He also teaches that some things in life are constant: foolishness, loss, and even death. Constants are facts, and facts are not solved, they are accepted and worked around with preparation and strategy. You solve problems, not facts. He reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, no matter what the culture's standard of beauty says.Pastor Kunle further explains that if you are not at the table, you are on the menu. Rather than waiting for an invitation, he challenges believers to create their own table. He shows that foolishness is the default and wisdom requires training, that "no" is a more powerful energy than "yes," and that to allow or disallow is to govern with intention. Culture shaping, he says, is simply normalizing your preference, and the only thing you can do with culture is shape it.He closes by teaching that everything we see has a physical and a spiritual side, and that two questions help us read both: "What does this mean?" and "What truth does it embody?" He warns that a wrong ideology about money opens the door to many things, and that our shoes, clothes, and houses are kingdom property to be deployed with purpose. The message ends with a prayer of impartation for creatives, filmmakers, musicians, actors, business owners, and everyone who shapes culture.This message will help you:1. Understand why culture shaping matters more than culture criticism.2. Carry the fragrance of Christ with intention in your workplace, industry, and community.3. Know the difference between a problem and a fact, and respond with preparation and strategy.4. Stop waiting for an invitation and start building your own table.5. Recognize that everything has a physical and spiritual meaning, and keep a healthy view of money.6. Stay in the Word, stay in the Spirit, and practice the presence of God daily.Key scriptures: Ezekiel 11, 2 Corinthians 2:14, Matthew 6, Matthew 18:18, James 4, Genesis 1, Genesis 11, 1 Timothy 6:10Watch, reflect, and ask God to give you wisdom, eyes that see, and ears that hear. Don't just consume culture. Be the fragrance that shapes it.#NXTCON26 #KnightandBishop #WeAreTheNew #ILoveThisChurch #KunleSoriyan

In this compelling session from NXTCON’26, Mr. Eric Gugua (@Eric_Gugua) breaks down what it truly means to operate as a “Knight” on the board—a place of distinct value, high impact, and unusual perspective. While the Knight’s position looks attractive from the outside, Eric reveals the hidden reality of the journey: the loneliness of growth, the patience learned through suffering, and the essential need for God as your ultimate system of advantage.He emphasizes that true success is not measured by possessions, title, or temporary viral fame, but by who the process forces you to become. Drawing from personal lessons in content creation, leadership, and enduring public criticism, Eric highlights why aspiring leaders must despise shortcuts, protect their mental diet, and build unshakeable principles that outlive them.Eric wraps up with a masterclass on creative curation, breaking down the five essential steps—Research, Selection, Acquiring, Organization, and Presentation. He reminds every creative and leader that genius does not lie in chasing completely novel ideas, but in mastering the organization and storytelling that gives those ideas transformative power.This message will help you:• Understand your true positioning, leverage, and responsibility as a creative or leader.• Navigate isolation, misunderstanding, and criticism without losing your anchor.• Shift your mindset from chasing shortcuts to embracing the process of becoming.• Filter your content diet so you lead as a creator rather than being consumed as a follower.• Master the five-step curation sequence to structure, organize, and elevate your creative work.Watch, reflect, and ask yourself:"If everything I've built were taken away today, do I carry the principles and character to build it again?"True value is not in what you possess—it is in who the process has made you become.——ABOUT NXTCONNXTCON is an intentional gathering of thinkers, builders, and culture-shapers under The New movement, designed to equip the next generation of creative minds and visionary leaders with the insight, spiritual depth, and practical frameworks required to influence cities and nations.——
