1. The Church is eternal for eternal purposes:

This refers to individuals who carry a unique anointing to lead and guide the Church, bringing forth prophetic insights and apostolic authority. Recognizing and embracing this mantle is essential for sustaining the revival fire in the year 2024 and beyond.
3. Finishing what has been started:
Drawing inspiration from the story of Terah and Abraham in Genesis 11:31, Bishop Sibiya emphasizes the importance of finishing what has been started. Terah began the journey towards Canaan but settled in Haran, leaving it to Abraham to fulfill his father's work. Similarly, believers in 2024 must not settle for mediocrity or complacency but strive to complete the tasks and assignments entrusted to them by God.4. Guarding against spiritual compromise:
The story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16 serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of compromising one's spiritual fire. Bishop Sibiya reminds believers that it is when we become tired and weary that we are most vulnerable to the temptations and distractions that can extinguish our spiritual fire. Vigilance, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to God's Word are essential in guarding against such compromises.5. The three elements for sustaining the fire:
Bishop Sibiya highlights three essential elements for sustaining the revival fire. Firstly, combustible matter, symbolizing the need for spiritual nourishment and growth through consistent engagement with God's Word. Secondly, oxygen, representing prayer and communion with the Holy Spirit. And finally, a heat source, which signifies the power of fervent prayer and intercession.As we approach the year 2024, Bishop Pride Sibiya's message on sustaining the revival fire serves as a timely reminder for believers to remain steadfast in their faith and commitment to God's eternal purposes. By understanding our unique mandate, embracing the Apostolic Prophetic mantle, finishing what has been started, guarding against compromise, and actively engaging in spiritual disciplines, we can ensure that the fire of revival continues to burn brightly in our lives and in the Church.
Let us enter 2024 with a renewed passion for God and a determination to sustain the revival fire.
The Tiyambuke International Christian Convention (TICC) is an annual gathering of Christian believers from various denominations, organized by Glory Ministries under the leadership of Apostle Pride and Anna Sibiya.
With its inception in 2001, TICC has grown to become one of the largest conferences in Zimbabwe.
The convention's name, "Tiyambuke," meaning "Let Us Cross Over," reflects its mission to lead people out of ignorance, sin, and bondage into a life of knowledge, love for God, health, prosperity, and freedom.
