KEY PRINCIPLES AND ACTIVATION OF COVENANT OF INCREASE

-

TEACHER: PASTOR MRS IDOWU OGUNFOWORA 

INTRODUCTION: A covenant in the Bible is a solemn binding agreement between God and humanity, often involving promises, obligations and blessings. Biblical covenants are God-initiated, sacred agreements emphasising love, loyalty and divine commitment rather than mere legal terms. We are called to embrace His commandments as a reflection of His love and character. This covenant invites us to live a life of obedience, allowing us to experience God’s blessings and guidance in our daily lives.

KEY PRINCIPLES

  • God initiates the Covenant: Biblical covenants originate from God, not human effort. Divine increase is based on grace, revealed through encounters with God, and is lasting compared to temporary human strategies.
  • Generational Blessing: The covenant extends beyond the individual to their descendants, ensuring that God’s blessings overflow from one generation to another (Genesis 17:7).
  • Holistic Increase: Increase is not only financial but also spiritual, mental, social, and physical. God desires progressive growth in all areas of life. 3John:1:2
  • Faith and Expectation: Believers are encouraged to renew their minds to expect increase, aligning their faith with God’s promises rather than limiting themselves through doubt. Heb 11:1-3

 

ACTIVATION:

  1. Cooperate with God  in complete  obedience, prayer, and humility (DEUT.28: 1-2; 1 Samuel 15:20-23; 1 Timothy 6:14; 1 Thessalonians 5;!7; 2 Chronicles 7:14), 
  2. Exercise faith in God’s promises, trusting Him; with Him nothing shall be impossible- Daniel 3:17-30: Gen 22:1-12; Luke 1:34-37;
  3. Live generously and serve others, as God’s blessings often flow in response to faithful stewardship and obedience. ( the widow of Zarephath-1kings 17:8-16; the Shunammite woman: 2 kings 4:8-17)
  4. Seek spiritual growth alongside material increase, ensuring that all aspects of our life align with God’s purpose.
  5. Be expectant; The expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off.

     

PRAYER

LORD, LET MY LIFE BE AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR GLORY AS LONG AS I LIVE AND IN ETERNITY. IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.

THE TWENTY-TWO (22) TENETS OF FOURSQUARE GOSPEL

-
These We Believe Our belief is based on core biblical truths we call the 22 tenets of faith. THIS WE BELIEVE; THE FOURSQUARE DECLARATION OF FAITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe that the Bible is God-inspired; perfect, with no mistakes; that God told certain men thousands of years ago what to write in it; that it is there to help us and to show everybody Jesus-the Son of God, the Savior of mankind; that it tells people how to live and be saved. (Matt. 24:35;2 Timothy 3:16,17; Psa. 119:105; 2Pet. 1:19-21; 2Tim. 2:15). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe THAT THERE IS ONE God, Creator of the universe, eternal, holy, loving, all-powerful and deserving of our praise and thanks; and that, in the unity of Godhead, there are three, equal and divine: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; The Father the King of the Universe, full of Glory and Majesty, whose justice demands that sin be punished, but whose love sent His own Son to take that punishment for us. The Son Jesus Christ, who has al...

-
James Abayomi Boyejo, fondly referred to by many as “Papa Foursquare” and “Pastor Emeritus” was one of the three people usually referred to as the founding fathers of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. The other two are Rev. Samuel Olusegun Odunaike and Rev. Friday Chinyere Osuwa. These three were the first group of Nigerians to come in contact with Rev. and (Mrs.) Harold Curtis, the missionaries who brought the Foursquare message to Nigeria. When the church started in 1955, Boyejo became one of its national officers and he served it meritoriously in various capacities until his retirement from service in 1995. James Boyejo was born at Ijebu-Ode on November 26, 1928. He started his elementary education at the Wasimi African School, Ijebu-Ode and was there for six years. He then proceeded to Ibadan to further his education at the Anglican Bible School. Throughout his early life, he desired to reach great heights in education, but he was constrained by lack...
