The Foursquare Gospel Church, Wuse District Headquarters, Abuja, brought its Mini-Convocation to a climactic close with a transformative Sunday service themed “Activating New Season Via Principles.” The service featured a sermon by Evangelist Promise Obagboye, who emphasized spiritual discipline, character formation, and alignment with divine purpose as keys to unlocking new seasons of growth.
The worship experience opened with spirited praise led by the church choir, creating a vibrant atmosphere that prepared the congregation for teaching, prayer, and prophetic declarations.
Declarations of Breakthrough:
Drawing from Mark 2:1–5, Evangelist Obagboye led the church in declarations that highlighted themes of visionary support, compelled favour, protocol breakthroughs, unconditional assistance, destiny fulfilment, and the breaking of limitations. These prayer points, he said, were essential for believers seeking divine help in activating new seasons.
Scriptural Insights and Principles
The main sermon, taken from 2 Kings 4:1–7 the account of the widow and the oil, outlined biblical principles necessary for activating new seasons:
Principles as Foundation: Success and advancement rest on the consistent application of divine principles.
Character as Surety: Righteous character ensures sustainability and elevation.
Introspection: Believers were urged to recognize and maximize their God-given resources.
Resourcefulness (Borrowing Vessels): Opportunities, mentorship, and partnerships must be embraced.
Focus and Discernment (Shutting the Door): Guarding spiritual insights from unnecessary exposure ensures fruitfulness.
Respect for the Source: Honouring God and acknowledging channels of blessing sustains progress.
Evangelist Obagboye explained these lessons verse by verse, offering practical applications relevant to the congregation’s daily lives.
Impact and Closing Prayers
The service concluded with corporate prayers, seeking elevation into higher dimensions of purpose and fulfilment. Members were encouraged to commit to these principles as pathways to transformation.
The sermon reaffirmed the Foursquare Gospel Church’s commitment to equipping its members for spiritual and personal renewal. With the blend of worship, biblical teaching, and prophetic prayer, the service not only celebrated faith but also provided actionable strategies for living out God’s purpose.
