Celebrating the Dedication of The Ransomed Schools:
A New Dawn of Grace By Apostle Dr. Michael Mband The Ransomed Schools recently marked a significant milestone with the official dedication of its new campus—a day filled with worship, gratitude, and prophetic declarations for the future.
This event was not just a formal ceremony; it was a spiritual moment, setting apart the school for divine purpose and blessing. As we reflect on this day, we recognize that it is truly the doing of the Lord, a testament to His faithfulness and overflowing grace.
A Day of Celebration and Thanksgiving The atmosphere was charged with joy and celebration as the Ransomed Schools community gathered to dedicate the new property. This was more than an ordinary event—it was a culmination of years of perseverance, faith, and hard work.
The previous day’s graduation had already set a tone of achievement, but the dedication marked a new beginning, opening doors for even greater accomplishments in the future. From humble beginnings, we have witnessed God’s hand guiding every step.
As I shared with the congregation, “If not for God, we would not be here.”
Our journey has not been without challenges, but through it all, God’s grace has been our anchor. The dedication was an opportunity to return all glory to Him, acknowledging that every testimony, every miracle, and every success is a result of His mercy.
Spiritual Foundations:
The Power of the Blood and the Anointing The ceremony was deeply rooted in scriptural principles. Drawing from John 5:8 and Hebrews 13:12, we symbolically carried water, the Word, and oil—representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We also brought forth the blood, signifying the power of Jesus’ sacrifice. Just as Jesus sanctified His people with His own blood outside the gate, we anointed and dedicated the school grounds, declaring that the blood of Jesus would speak better things for this institution every single day.
We proclaimed that: Any evil spoken or done against the school would return to the sender. Every child, teacher, and parent entering these gates would be covered by the blood and anointed for greatness. The school would be a place where God’s presence dwells mightily, bringing healing, deliverance, and provision without even a prayer being uttered. Prophetic Declarations for a Glorious Future With oil and prayer, we consecrated every classroom, every building—both existing and those yet to be constructed.
We declared that: The least among the students would become mighty. The school would produce kings, leaders, doctors, engineers, ambassadors, and opinion shapers. The grace that rests upon our spiritual fathers and their universities would also rest upon The Ransomed Schools, propelling us to the top and not the bottom, first and not last. We also prayed for the teachers, parents, and administration, asking God to bestow wisdom, power, strength, glory, honor, blessing, riches, and wealth upon all connected to the school.
The core values of the institution—wisdom, power, strength, glory, honor, blessing, riches, and wealth—were reaffirmed as the foundation for all we do. A School for Global Citizens As we look ahead, we declare that The Ransomed Schools is destined to raise global citizens—individuals who will impact Kenya, Africa, and the world. We prayed that the journey would not end here but would extend to the ends of the earth, fulfilling God’s promise to give us the nations as our inheritance.
We sealed every prayer and declaration with the blood of Jesus, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and the authority of the Word of God. No weapon fashioned against the school shall prosper, and every tongue that rises in judgment shall be condemned.
This is a school set apart for God’s glory, a beacon of hope, excellence, and transformation.
Conclusion:
To God Be All the Glory The dedication of The Ransomed Schools stands as a testimony to what God can do when His people trust Him and commit their work to Him. As we move forward, we do so with confidence, knowing that the presence of God will continually rest upon this institution. We invite every parent, student, teacher, and partner to join us in this journey of faith, excellence, and global impact.
This is the doing of the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
