Pastor Chris Declares November as the Month of Ingathering
The November Global Communion Service with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was filled with joy, revelation, and divine direction as the Man of God declared the word of the Spirit for the month — “The Month of Ingathering.” 🌾✨
Reading from Exodus 34:22, Pastor Chris explained that this season holds special significance in God’s calendar:
“Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.”
According to Pastor Chris, November is both the beginning and the ending in the ministry year — a divine time to gather in all that God has blessed us with, take account of our labor in the Gospel, and celebrate His faithfulness throughout the year.
Pastor Chris: A Time for Gathering and Thanksgiving
During the service, Pastor Chris revealed that the Month of Ingathering is not only a time of celebration but also one of reflection and gratitude. It is a period when believers are called to gather — in families, churches, and communities — to thank God for His goodness and to recognize the fruits of their spiritual labor.
“This is the time to gather in everything that God has blessed us with,” Pastor Chris said. “It’s a season of reviewing our work in the Gospel and celebrating the souls we have reached for Christ.”
The teaching emphasized that ingathering begins in-house — strengthening the family of faith, reconnecting with loved ones, and reaffirming commitment to God’s work. It’s also about bringing in the harvest of souls reached through evangelism and ministry partnerships throughout the year.
The Promise of Protection and Expansion
Quoting further from Exodus 34, Pastor Chris explained that God’s instruction to the Israelites to observe the feast of ingathering came with a promise of divine protection.
The scripture says, “Neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the Lord thy God.”
Pastor Chris assured believers that as they gather before God this month, they need not fear for their possessions or their future. “The Lord Himself preserves what is yours,” he declared. “He enlarges your borders and gives you influence among the nations.”
This revelation brought joy and confidence to millions watching worldwide. It reminded the LoveWorld Nation that obedience to God’s Word always brings increase, peace, and divine covering.
Pastor Chris on Reviewing and Rejoicing
The Month of Ingathering, Pastor Chris said, is also a time of review — to reflect on our journey, our labor in the Gospel, and the lives we have touched. It’s a moment to pause and recognize the progress made through faith, partnership, and ministry impact.
As believers prepare for the grand celebrations of November, including the International Pastors’ and Partners’ Conference (IPPC), Pastor Chris urged everyone to come before the Lord with thanksgiving and joy.
“This is a month to rejoice in all that the Lord has done,” he said. “Look back at how far you’ve come, how much you’ve given, and how many lives have been changed through your partnership with the Gospel.”
He encouraged members of Christ Embassy churches worldwide to host gatherings in their local zones and cities — moments of worship, testimonies, and thanksgiving that reflect the spirit of ingathering.
Pastor Chris: A Season of Divine Multiplication
Pastor Chris explained that ingathering is not only about counting results but also about preparing for expansion. As believers gather, they are also preparing to enter new dimensions of ministry and fruitfulness.
He declared, “When God says it’s time for ingathering, it means it’s time for increase. As you gather, you will spread, and as you spread, you will possess.”
The Month of Ingathering is therefore a prophetic season of multiplication — of blessings, influence, and divine opportunities. It’s a reminder that every seed sown in prayer, service, and giving throughout the year produces a harvest in due season.
Pastor Chris also encouraged believers to keep their focus on God’s Word during this time. “Don’t just look at what’s happening around you,” he said. “Look at what the Spirit of God is doing through you and for you. This is your season of gathering and increase.”
The Month of Ingathering and the IPPC 2025
As the LoveWorld Nation prepares for the upcoming International Pastors’ and Partners’ Conference (IPPC), Pastor Chris described it as a divine continuation of this month’s theme. The IPPC, which gathers pastors and partners from all over the world, is a time of rejoicing, recognition, and vision-casting for the coming year.
“This month of November is truly special,” Pastor Chris said. “It’s the month of reviewing, rejoicing, and gathering in. God is doing something extraordinary with His people.”
Believers are encouraged to participate fully in their local assemblies and viewing centers and to prepare their hearts for what God will reveal in the coming days.
As Pastor Chris reminded the global congregation: “Don’t be afraid. God Himself is preserving what belongs to you. As you come before Him this month, He will enlarge your borders and multiply your harvest.” 🌾✨
