Gospel music ministers including Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan and GUC are billed to lead thousands of worshippers at the 2026 Nations Worship In His Presence event scheduled to hold in Abuja on Friday.
The event, organised by the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, will take place at the Glory Dome, with activities expected to commence at 9.30pm.
Convener of the programme and Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, disclosed this while addressing journalists ahead of the programme in Abuja on Friday.
Enenche, who spoke alongside his wife, Dr (Mrs) Becky Paul-Enenche, assured participants of a spiritually uplifting gathering characterised by intense praise, fervent prayers and deep encounters with God.
He explained that the vision for the Nations Worship was drawn from Psalm 22:27, which emphasises the need for nations to turn to God in worship.
According to him, the programme is designed to inspire global revival and spiritual renewal among believers.
“The objective of this vision is to see nations literally on their knees before God. I have seen a far-reaching vision of millions of people gathered in one place, bowing before the Lord in Washington,” he said.
Enenche added that such gatherings would ignite genuine revival marked by repentance, renewed passion for God and increased hunger for His presence.
He recalled that the maiden edition of the worship programme was held in 2017 at the Eagle Square, Abuja, noting that the event had continued to grow significantly over the years.
He stated that the Glory Dome had consistently recorded massive attendance during the worship programme, adding that the core aim remained the enthronement of God through worship and the birth of revival across nations.
Top gospel ministers expected to lead worship sessions at the event include Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, GUC, Chioma Jesus and Abraham Akatu.
Others listed to minister include Jennifer Chambers, Debee, Prospa Ochimana, Lilian Nneji, Kaestrings, Sunmisola, Moses Bliss, Kevin Downswell, Bidemi Olaoba, Oche Jonkings, Nene Olajide, Daniel Ekiko, Prophet Okebe, Owie Abutu and Godswill Oyor.
Organisers disclosed that a major highlight of the programme would be the “Commanding the Day” midnight prayer session scheduled for 11pm.
The prayer session, they noted, is aimed at ushering participants into a new season of divine favour, direction and breakthroughs.
Some of the ministers billed to perform described the gathering as a significant spiritual moment for deep worship, repentance and revival among nations.
They urged worshippers to attend the programme with open hearts and strong expectations, expressing confidence that the 2026 edition would witness intense praise and powerful spiritual encounters.
