Foursquare Gospel Church Wuse, Abuja Explores “Attracting Divine Help” in Spirit-Charged Service

By Dr. Afolabi Olajuwon

At the Foursquare Gospel Church, Wuse District Headquarters, worshippers gathered under the stirring topic: “Attracting Divine Help” in a service that echoed far beyond the walls of Abuja, speaking to a universal hunger for hope and intervention in uncertain times.

The morning opened with an electrifying praise session led by Sister Kate Okereke, whose voice carried both gratitude and anticipation. As hands lifted and hearts united in thanksgiving, the congregation prepared for a message that promised not only comfort but also direction.

Taking the pulpit, Rev. Matanmi Adebisi drew deeply from Scripture, anchoring his sermon in Psalm 46:1–5: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” His voice carried urgency as he declared, “There are situations in life where only God can intervene.”

Citing Jeremiah 17:5, he cautioned against misplaced reliance: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh.” In contrast, he assured that divine reliance produces results beyond human comprehension, victories that cannot be explained, rescues that cannot be denied, and breakthroughs that cannot be delayed.

The Benefits of Divine Help:
Rev. Adebisi outlined the manifold blessings that come with divine assistance:

Strength in adversity: Psalm 46:2 assures that even if the earth gives way, God’s people should not fear.

Protection from enemies: God’s help serves as a shield against unseen dangers.

Victory in battles: Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20, Rev. Adebisi reminded that when God fights for His people, defeat is impossible.

Angelic interventions: As seen in Acts 12:11, where an angel delivered Peter from prison, divine help often comes through supernatural means.

Assurance of God’s presence: Echoing Romans 8:31, he affirmed, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

The Pathways to Attracting Divine Assistance
For those seeking to position themselves for such help, Rev. Adebisi laid out timeless spiritual disciplines:
Surrender fully to God: for pride is the great barrier.
Persistent prayer: mirroring the widow’s perseverance in Luke 18:1–8.
Hope and faith: lifting one’s eyes to the Maker as in Psalm 121:1–2.
Obedience: the key that secured David’s anointing in Psalm 89:19–20.
Boldness and courage: essential to confront life’s battles.
Spiritual determination: a refusal to grow weary in pursuit of God’s intervention.
“Our way is not God’s way,” Rev. Adebisi reminded, stressing that obedience is the bridge between human frailty and divine power.

The service climaxed with an altar call that saw three souls commit their lives to Christ, a quiet yet profound testament to the message’s impact.

While rooted in Abuja, the sermon carried a global resonance. From war zones to boardrooms, from refugee camps to bustling cities, humanity’s quest for dependable help remains the same. Rev. Adebisi’s closing declaration from Romans 8:31 spoke directly into this reality: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

“Divine help is not just for survival,” he added with conviction, “it is for victory.”
For believers worldwide, the service at Foursquare Gospel Church was more than a local gathering; it was a reminder that when human resources reach their end, the eternal arm of God remains stretched out, ready to lift, rescue, and empower.

Necessity of Intervention in Rivers and the burden of leadership in times of crisis, by Tanimu Yakubu

Necessity of Intervention in Rivers and the burden of leadership in times of crisis, By Taminu Yakubu Throughout history, leadership has never been measured by mere occupancy of office but by the ability to act decisively in the face of disorder. From the ancient philosopher-kings of Plato’s Republic, tasked with safeguarding justice, to Sun Tzu’s Art of War, which emphasizes preemptive action against internal threats, it has been clear that governance is not a passive role but an active duty. John Locke’s Second Treatise on Government reminds us that when those entrusted with power begin to subvert the institutions that sustain governance, superior authority must intervene to restore order. It is in this context that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s intervention in Rivers State must be understood – not as a political maneuver, but as a constitutional necessity to prevent the descent into anarchy. His actions, in invoking Section 305 of the Nigerian Constitution, affirm the fundamental ro...
