FECA Rivers have recently updated on her social media page that the Zonal Leadership Retreat, (ZLR) was a huge success. 

About Zonal Leadership Retreat (ZLR)

Zonal Leadership Retreat is a periodic program in FECA where  all the chapters in a zone gather to have a timeout with God. What they do in Zonal Leadership Retreat varies from zone to zone. But among the programs, there is worship, prayers, powerful talks and enlightenment discussion sessions, guest speakers' charge, item 7, and games. Most of the time, the zonal coordinator and zonal secretary are in charge of the program, but there are times when the nationals or regional can be in charge. Nationals are often invited for this program, and the regionals too. 

Zonal Leadership Retreat can hold for  three or four days, or maybe two days. It's just a timeout with the Lord in order to be refreshed in the Spirit man for more exploits. The venue is usually not that important, but as long as it is a different place, like a mountain, a hotel, or a family house where there won't be disturbance from friends or work or school. Because it is a retreat, there should not be interferences from the outside world. Most of the time FECAites (in Enugu zone) do book hotels for this kind of program, because of hospitality and health benefits. 

This retreat is meant for every leader in the zone, not just the presidency and prayer secretaries, but every single leader. Members are also welcome in ZLR because the member today is a leader tomorrow and the earlier he or she is exposed to the rudiments of the things of FECA, the easier it will be for him or her to lead charismatically. 

Earlier in the month of April, FECA Rivers published that her ZLR was a huge success. This was made known through her media coordinator on Facebook last week.

On the day two of the program, they discussed Health Talk. "Divine health: Adverting major Future Challenges", with Ma Blessing Edepo as the speaker. According to her, "You cannot function very well in the spirit of influence if your health is challenging. Some of the foundations of living a healthy life are:

• Maintaining a steady diet of God's word


• Exercise


• Rest well


• stay away from anxiety


• Live a peaceful life


• Pray in the spirit


• listen to God's word


• Remind yourself of God's promises


• Exercise dominion

They were also graced by the presence of Mr. Oreva Pius who spoke about  "Outreach and Evangelism". According to him, "Passion is what you like doing, but passion without direction is dangerous. And to direct your passion rightly, you have to wear burden! Any passion that is not rooted in burden will wear away with time  and only in the place of prayer can passion be rooted in burden. The way you understand burden is a testament of your alignment with God. If your burden does not require sacrifice, it is not effective."

It was such a powerful program, because even from this little excerpt above, one knows that they were really blessed last week.
