The 2026 Apostolic Invasion, themed Overflowing, closed out today with the Thanksgiving Service at the Headquarters Auditorium, Oke-Maro, Amoyo, bringing together seven days of revival, praise, and ministration into one final, gratitude-filled celebration. What made today especially memorable was that it doubled as more than just a closing service — it was also a graduation ceremony, as a set of students were formally recognized and celebrated for a milestone completed.

Words of Gratitude to Open the Day

The service opened with reflections on the week that had just passed, as ministers took turns addressing the congregation, expressing thanks to God for a convention that had, true to its theme, delivered overflow in every area — attendance, worship, and the word ministered night after night. Gift boxes set aside on stage hinted at the appreciation that was to be extended to those who had labored through the week to make the convention what it was.

Honouring Those Who Served

As part of the closing celebrations, recognition was extended to key ministers who had carried different responsibilities across the convention, with sashes presented as a token of appreciation for their contribution to a week that had blessed so many. It was a fitting moment of honour, acknowledging the hands and voices that had made the Apostolic Invasion what it was.

A Graduation Ceremony Within the Thanksgiving

The service also carried a special dimension as a set of graduates were called forward to be celebrated for their academic achievement. Dressed in graduation gowns and caps, the graduands knelt in humility as prayers were said over their lives and their futures, a powerful reminder that Thanksgiving is not only about looking back at what God has done, but also about committing what lies ahead into His hands.

Afterward, the graduates stood together on the platform to be formally presented and celebrated before the congregation, each one dressed to mark the occasion, as the church rejoiced with them over an achievement worth celebrating.

A Convention That Delivered on Its Name

From the opening night of revival through the Festival of Praise and now the Thanksgiving Service, the 2026 Apostolic Invasion has lived up to every promise carried in its theme. Strong ministration from Evangelist Sunday Oguiche, Rev’d Bola Payimo, and Apostle Blessing Salami filled the week with weighty, life-changing words, while today’s celebration — complete with honour, gratitude, and a graduation to remember — brought it all to a joyful close.

As the KHGM family steps out of this year’s convention, the testimony is clear: it has indeed been a season of Overflowing, and the impact of these seven days will be carried forward long after the chairs have been packed away.
