The Most High God rules in the affairs of men and He is the Sovereign God. The Year 2020 and The Global Lockdown The year 2020 was very challenging and volumes have been written about it with different explanations by different people and groups as we all know, people always searched for meaning in their misfortunes in difficult times like we witnessed last year. No nation was left out of the terrible impact of the Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic which left most people and nations in despair whose scourge is yet to be abated as we are witnessing a second wave in some countries. The negative impact was enormous on individuals, families, companies, leaders of the people and nations of the world that in everywhere often people resorted into prayers and calling upon God to have mercy like never. However, as difficult as the year 2020 was across the globe, it was also a year full of powerful inspirations and positive impact which made us to conclude with the Biblical injunction that the Most high God rules in the affairs of men and He is the Sovereign God. This is well captured in the prophetic prayer and declaration of Hannah, the mother of Samuel: “The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.” 1 Samuel 2:6-8 Viewed in God's perspective, year 2020 could be said to be the most significant year in the lives of the discerning people and families who were able to seize the opportunity to build their relationships with God and families, as well as adjust their lifestyles and to seek what really matter which is the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
While we could not travel, books were written and published. Families grew much closer to one another. Each person was able to reflect on their lives. Vision and destinies could be prayed through and clarified. It was not all negative. The question is what have we learnt in 2020 as individuals, families, businesses, corporate entities, communities and nations? What would you say that year 2020 has taught you? We need to come boldly with the values we have learnt, clear goals and actionable plans to make a difference intentionally and pragmatically as we take on the year that is ahead of us.
TRAINING THE TRAINERS PROGRAM 2020 The ministry was able to organise Train The Trainers Programs twice last year. One in February 2020 before the lock-down started and another one in September. The training is designed to equip people so that they can also train others as well. It was a cutting-edge encounter for people to redefine their purpose with particular emphasis on the restoration of the priesthood. Testimony: The Train The Trainers…I believe the Lord has started a much deeper work in me about understanding the priesthood…As I can see how it influences my lifestyle...It is not just a head-knowledge anymore as I have come to a level where I can teach and train others from my heart and not just from my head CK.
WATER BAPTISM IN 2020 Some people identified the need to be baptized after listening to the power and purpose of water baptism during the training programs and were baptized. Desiree Schoeman who was part of the people that were baptized wrote this: “Sadly, in the day and age I was growing up, water baptism became part of the church's statistics. Water baptism was never explained in a way the bible intended it to be. Now, after many years of being a child of God, I know that I am a new creation in Christ and that it is no longer I who lives, but Christ in and through me.”

THE 21-DAY PRAYER AND FASTING/RESPONSE TO GLOBAL LOCKDOWN Immediately the lockdown was announced, the leadership of GTM responded with the announcement of online 21-Day prayer and fasting to pray for God's intervention for nations in dealing with the pandemic. Daily, people joined from different nations of the world to fast and cry unto God for mercy and the grace of God was upon all. The prayer and fasting with the whole of our hearts became our lifeline during the global pandemic as people from each nation gave reports of the devastations taking place around them in their nations, but by God's mercy He spared our lives and the lives of many of our relatives as well. Moreover, the program became a turning point for most people as we experienced the mighty visitation of God daily. By God's grace we hope to publish the prayer journal. Adele Bockings from Namibia wrote: “I joined the daily prayer sessions in April during the 21Day prayer and fasting response to the Global Pandemic. Very quickly I realised that there was something real here and with every prayer session, things would shift very powerfully. Soon my husband was also touched by this and contacted Apostle Gbenga, who then walked a path of family restoration with us. Many issues were dealt with and we started understanding the issues of foundations and that faulty foundations must be rebuilt and restored. A lot of healings came to our family.”
REPAIR, REBUILD & RESTORE CONFERENCE (POLOKWANE 2020) As soon as we were able to travel between provinces and to gather, a door of opportunity opened to us for a weekend teaching/training conference in Polokwane. We had one delegate from the US who attended the training together with the locals. The focus was on rebuilding foundations, raising men and women who can rebuild the desolations in our communities according to Isaiah 61:14. At the end of the program, Limpopo/Ivydale Community Transformation Project was inaugurated.
Prophetic Word by Dr Janet Adegbenro “The Spirit of the Living God saith expressly, My glory will be poured out through refined, renewed and wellprepared vessels. Now is the time to be ready. Now is the time to prepare the way. Prepare the way not just for individuals but for Nations. An awakening is upon My Church, and as My Church awakens and arises, destinies over Nations will be restored, and my people's glory will be restored. Prepare the way, for a great outpouring of My Glory is coming to the Earth! He that hast an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the Churches. To him that overcomes will l give power over the Nations” Biblical Example of Global Lockdown One great encouragement was that as we prayed and studied the word of God, we found that there was once a global lockdown in the Bible in the days of Noah. It is written that Noah found grace and favor with God, so God preserved him and his family throughout the lockdown. Then, God remembered Noah and brought them out of the lockdown. God made a covenant with Noah, blessed and empowered him to be fruitful, to multiply and to replenish the earth. This understanding inspired our prayers, focus, actionable plans and preparation for what God want us to do after global the pandemic and lockdown.
PROPHETIC THRONE WORSHIP The Prophetic Throne Worship was first of its kind in the ministry and work of Global Thrones which was birthed to train everyone to be a true worshiper of God in Spirit and in truth before His Throne. People and families brought forth new songs in different languages including worship song in German. In answer to dealing with the power of the grave, everyone began to manifest the gifts and potentials in their lives. It was awesome to behold one of the participants who had played the accordion for many years and has hanged the instrument now begin to play the accordion with a new song, likewise one of us who has hanged her guitar brought it out and led worship with it in a new song.
Singing new songs that God had written in our hearts with various instruments of worship in harmony and melody.
Desiree Schoeman from Polokwane wrote: “Although this throne worship and prophetic prayers was via zoom, I could feel God moving as we were praying every night. I experienced an open heaven above us. I could sense the Spirit of God as we decree and declare His purpose over the remainder of the programs for the year.” The Bockings Family from Namibia wrote: “During the 7-day prophetic throne worship and prayers, our family sang a new song which God had written in our hearts. And a lady that I know received a dream in which it was revealed to her, that these prayers our family was praying was bringing restoration to marriages and families which manifested in her own marriage.”

LIMPOPO TRANSFORMATION PROJECT (LTP) Limpopo Community Transfor mation Project was inaugurated on Sunday the 25th of October 2020 at AloeHymn Guest Lodge starting with Ivydale Community Transformation with Renee Schoeman as the Project Coordinator. Ivydale is a community of 120 Plots and with an initial four king-priests, the project is thriving with outstanding testimonies to the glory of God. The Business Walls, The Family Walls, The Security Walls are being restored. Today, one of the team is the chair of the community policing forum (CPF), which has opened up more interactions with the community. Research is ongoing on the foundations of the community and a new history of the community is being written. Renee Schoeman, our LTP Coordinator wrote: “I grew up in Ivydale. For the past 27 years, this area has deteriorated to the point that you can see the works of darkness around every corner. In a radius of 5 km, we have 10 churches yet, 2 shabeens, 5 brothels, a mosque, a sangoma and a casino. In all my endeavours through politics and municipal services for many years, I could not bring significant change and transformation; but God sent GTM to open my eyes of understanding that the battle for community transformation is spiritual and not physical; not only through socio-economic interventions but must be combined with socio-spiritual interventions. I praise the Lord as we are being trained and mentored by GTM to transform Ivydale.” We keep on praying for them.
Ivydale Project Planners Leading transformation begins with the readiness of men and woman who have been thoroughly prepared and empowered by the Spirit of God to solve many sided challenges in the society.

INAUGURATION OF VISION 2020 & BEYOND MOVEMENT The vision is to raise and empower kings, traditional leaders, all people in authority for righteousness and justice on the thrones to transform communities and nations intentionally, pragmatically, and strategically. This Global Movement was inaugurated on Saturday 21st November 2020. The program witnessed participants from different nations with kings, traditional leaders, marketplace leaders, church leaders, government leaders and youth leaders. Three notable kings from Africa gave profound testimonies of how God has been using them to transform their communities. The response that we received from participants was that the inauguration was impactful, an eye opener and that they learnt a lot from our distinguished speakers, especially the kings. Many of the participants were very motivated to be part of this movement in their nations. We are delighted that some people communicated their interests in this movement to be in French and we have sent the Vision-2020-and-Beyond Document in French to them to start with and we hope to do this in other languages as well. It is our collective efforts and thoughts on best practice that will bring us closer to propagate the important issue of operating on the thrones and good governance in our nations. The inauguration was not meant to be a single event, but a starting point for the work that must be done to mitigate some of the challenges to righteous governance and to this effect we are willing to take hands together with you to further this initiative this year 2021. Testimony “With the Inauguration of vision 2020 and beyond movement, I realised that the past 5 years of our lives as a family were preparation for this and I had a better understanding of being a King-Priest.� A.B

ILUTITUN CENTENARY CELEBRATION AND LAND REDEDICATION Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro, the chief executive officer of Global Thrones was invited to anchor this program which took place on the 7th of November 2020 in Ondo State, Nigeria. Ilutitun Community was founded on the 4th of November 1920, when the king HRH Ikuyinminu Ikudamioro, the reigning king over various villages, and the late Evangelist D.O. Babayemi, the founding Vicar of the present Ebenezer Anglican Cathedral, Ilutitun, called all the Elders of the villages together to establish a new town christened “Ilutitun” Special prayers were offered at a place where they made the sign of the cross, which now becomes the centre of the town, and the point of intercession for the main roads we have today in Ilutitun. The programme is a solemn assembly and significant milestone which seeks to achieve the following purposes (Isaiah 61:3-4): ● To raise a new Altar of life and peace, redemption and righteousness, praise and pure worship to the Living God and thereby enshrine a new memorable covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Gen. 13:18). ● To plead for God's great mercies over the land and her people for the abominations and desolations of many generations (Psalm 51:17). ● To seek God's face for the healing of the foundations of the town and reversal of negative trends – curses and all maladies (Exodus 15:23-25, Gal.3:13-14) ● To proclaim the truth and lay a new foundation of Light, grace and glory that succeeding generations may set their hope in God and do His will. The king and the elders of the land were led into a covenant with the Lord over the land after repentance and renunciation of covenants with powers of darkness. The community was dedicated to God with powerful prophetic proclamations and blessings.
72 HOURS PRIESTLY CONSECRATION It is a weekend of seeking the face of God corporately and going deep in the word of God and listening to Him. It is a breaking forth experience, a serious life transforming experience, training and reproducible process to help people achieve more in life, to get more out of themselves and see the release of the great potentials within them for the benefit of all.
“This is always a highlight of my year. We were able to get together to set aside 72 hours in God's presence. Every year is different and this time, we went deep. Matthew 5 – 7 will never again be the same to me. We were able to go through those three chapters, open our hearts to one another as to what area's we still struggle with, and pray for one another. What a blessing to give extended times together to the Lord.
Mrs Oluwakemi Akinbohun wrote her experience during the last program: “The transformation after the 72 hours priestly consecration was palpable to the point that my colleagues and supervisor were impressed about my work for the first time after the loss of my husband.”
In the Old Testament during feasts and consecration times, there was a certain corporate anointing that was released in these places. We experienced what Psalm 133 talks of the blessing that God commands, when brethren dwell together in unity. The cherry on top, was that three people were baptised in water. It is always a Sister Cecilia Kleynhans, one of our dedicated GTM blessing to be able to witness what God does.” Trainers wrote this:
THURSDAY WEEKLY TEACHINGS AND PRAYERS Every Thursday we host a weekly teaching and prayer meeting and by His grace, the program gained momentum in 2020 to the glory of God. Focus of teaching and training were on rebuilding foundations, restoration of the priesthood, thrones and the preparation of the heart. God told us to prepare a people ready to carry His glory and God used the weekly program to transform people's lives with wonderful testimonies.
“Prepare a people ready to carry My Glory”
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES/INTENSIVE BIBLE STUDY
We hold a discipleship teaching and training worship service every Sunday with intensive bible study. Everyone is involved and trained to meditate in the word of God in Temi Adeola wrote: order to bring out what they have learnt that they can apply “I was praying and fasting for healing from an aged-long to transform their lives. We studied the Old Testament last hemorrhoids after trying various treatments. The last day year and learnt many things about kings, altars, thrones, of my personal prayer happened to be on a Thursday foundations, priesthood, leadership and most importantly which was a Prayer-Meeting day in GTM. the issue of the heart. Before we partook of that day Holy Communion, Apostle Gbenga encouraged everyone about the Testimony: significance of partaking in the Lord’s table. He ‘To me this is the way how church should be – instead of mentioned in the meeting that through the administration preaching there was teaching. I love the participation of of the Holy Communion (the broken body and the everyone involved. The lessons learned can even be applied shared blood of Jesus) whose significance was for a to our own lives today. It helped me to understand the bible remembrance of the suffering and love of Christ, people in such a way that was never possible in my life. God is a had once been healed of cancer, fibroid etc. I took hold of faithful God, and He is still true to His Word up until today.” the testimony and called upon God to heal me. I received D.S my healing that day. That was how a bloody pile vanished completely till today. Praise God!”
ONE-DAY PROPHETIC CONFERENCE We held a one-day conference on 5 December 2020. God has laid this one-day conference on my heart of Desiree Schoeman early in the year of 2020. The conference hosted Adele Vrey who shared powerfully the testimony of how God saved and delivered her from the occult which she practiced for nearly 16 years. According to Desiree: “Right from the start I felt that God wanted to deal with dead and dry bones. People that needed to get out of their graves and live! Even Christians that are living lukewarm lives. Time is running out and people's lives need to be restored”. Dr Janet's shared powerfully of how God can raise up dead and dry bones with a testimony of how God used her to raise her senior brother from dead in the hospital. Her powerful prophetic word and a sense of urgency of the times and season that we are living in touched all our hearts. This is a time to be serious with God and to open our heart and ears to hear clearly what is in the heart of God for us in a time such as this.”

End of Year Prophetic Appreciation The Prophetic Appreciation Service is a yearly program where you pray speciďŹ cally for an individual that you pick randomly, receive a word of God for the person and give a prophetic gift. Many lives were touched to see the young children participating with so much enthusiasm and excitement in their voices. High point was to see people crying when the prophetic word received for them and their prophetic gift is speciďŹ c to their heart cry. It was the most amazing experience with the family of God and many hearts were touched. The message on the Power of Gratitude by Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro gave a new outlook on life, brought deep repentance and ushered people into giving gratitude as a lifestyle.

SUMMARY OF YEAR 2020 In summary we can say that the ministry and all that connected with us in the year 2020 went into a time of renewal. Like certain eagle species would go into times of renewal, so they can be strengthened for the next season of their lives; the year 2020 was a time of renewal and preparation for more fruitful and glorious season.
FOCUS AND EXPECTATION FOR YEAR 2021 Our focus and banner for the year 2021 is: 'THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS'. To the prophet Jeremiah, God promised a day to come when a righteous king would reign wisely and establish 'righteousness and justice in the land'; He would be called Jehovah-Tsidkenu, 'The Lord Our Righteousness'. Jeremiah 23:5,6 The challenge of raising righteous leaders and establishing righteous governance is the greatest challenge of every nation and generation. We need to raise and empower visionary leaders, transformational leaders, leaders with integrity of hearts, skilfulness of hand and competency, leaders who will rule in the fear of God, leaders who will do what is right and administer justice, leaders who can lead in the times of distress like Nehemiah, leaders who will restore the principles of servanthood, who will restore the purpose and corporate destinies of nations. In 2021 we will engage with this focus intentionally and pragmatically by His grace and mercy
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
2021
Jehovah-Tsidkenu SUPPORT AND DONATIONS Thank you all for your prayers and support. We are grateful for all the donations that came through many of our members, friends, partners and associates.
