Commission Mandate

The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith, and I am sending you to undertake this task.

Global Growth

The Commission

Our Mandate speaks of liberation in all facets of human existence. We focus mainly on destinies that have been afflicted, battered, beaten, tattered, deformed and subsequently in groaning and agonies, as a result of pains, pangs and crying. Today, testimonies of liberation through our messages, books, tapes, magazines and other periodicals are most humbling. The word of faith is working like fire for the liberation of mankind across the nations.

Pastoral Mandate

The understanding of the liberation commission is that it will basically be an outreach operation. The Presiding Bishop could not imagine any church connection with the commission — what was needed was to ignite the fire of the Holy Ghost in existing churches. However, one glorious day in November 1982, the Lord spoke clearly from Luke 1:1-3 that "this mandate shall have a church base, all that is in existence notwithstanding". Today the commission is represented with churches in almost every continent.
