Experiencing The Experience

Its that time of the year again, and the excitement and vibe is on for the biggest worship concert on the planet, its the 2014 Edition of The Experience and it is the most significant event in gospel music in Nigeria.It is an annual worship festival hosted by The House on the Rock Church in association with  ministries and Churches around the country,it comes up every first Friday of December.

This year promises to be Extremely exciting, with a great line up of international and local gospel acts.

Artists that have been around over the years and that will be here again include
Donnie McClurkin,Don meon,Micah stampely,Isreal Houghton,Frank Edwards, Frekeh Umoh and Midnight Crew.

In addition to the above, certain artists that will be making their debut at the Experience this year,bringing freshness to the encounter,they include Sinach

Now in its ninth year running, The Experience , will be a refreshing  time and a good way to lunch into the holidays, aside having the opportunity to give God thanks for the year.
Wether you're a fresh man or  youve attended before, here are some few points to note when coming for the Experience 

1-Take a good Rest-Take out some time to rest before coming so you're refreshed enough to keep your praise on all night.

2-Come Early-Because The experience plays host to an enormous crowd of people, (probably the largest uve ever seen), it is advisable to get  to the venue early.No time is too early to get to the venue,people start arriving as early as 2pm.Early attendance helps with Good sitting and a generally wholesome time. So ensure you're there on time

3-Avoid the Galleries- If you make it early to The Experience ,ensure you find sitting in the main bowl of the square. The galleries are usually noisy and this will certainly affect worship time.Also, exiting is easier from the main bowl than the gallery,this saves you time and being trampled upon.The galleries are also less safe/secure, so you might as well avoid them.

4-Come in groups-It is advisable not to come to The Experience alone.Come with a friend or group of friends, for security reasons. Your property will be generally safe if the people next to you are familiar faces rather than strangers. So ensure you don't come alone.

5-Come with Your snack-Since its an all-night event, there's a high probability you will get hungry, so ensure  to come with your hamper of snack or drinks, as food sold around the venue will generally be overpriced.Aside that you will want to make your movement during the program as minimal, as possible(which includes moving around trying to grab some food) to ensure better safety of your belongings.

6-Focus-With such a large crowd of people, it is so easy to be distracted from the worship and miss out on what brought you in the first place, so while at the experience ensure youre focused and not distracted so you can enjoy Gods best.

With those points in mind you should be set to enjoy Experience this year.Its slated to hold this Friday,5-12-14 at the Tafa Balewa Square, Onikan Lagos,starting at 7pm.

Buses will be available at a bustop near you.
Come hear live music at its best.
