First Baptist Church, Gwagwalada Celebrates 2025 Harvest Thanksgiving Service

The Minister in charge of First Baptist Church, Gwagwalada Abuja, Reverend Deji Oyelami has advised christians to develop keen interest in cheerful giving towards attracting divine blessings.

He gave the advice in his sermon titled ” A Life of Worship: Celebrating the Goodness of the Lord” during the Church’s 2025 Harvest Thanksgiving Servicee in Gwagwalada Abuja.

Taking his bible reading from Psalm 103 : 1-5, the Baptist Cleric who expressed concern over the attitude of some christians towards sharing their God’s giving blessings with their fellow brothers and sisters said harvest thanksgiving is key to unlocking every closed door and favour in one’s endeavours.

“Harvest thanksgiving holds significant biblical importance and serves as reminder of God’s goodness, faithfulness and provision, encouraging gratitude and trusting in the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ”.

According to him, christians should always express gratitude for the blessings of the Lord in their lives and for His mercies and love over their lives.

In his words: “Christians should always live with purpose knowning that their lives are dedicated to serve and honour God alone”.

While praying for God’s blessings, favour and mercy in the lives of the Church’s members as they look forward to more harvest thanksgiving celebration, Reverend Deji Oyelami stressed the need for them not to allow the present economic situation of the country lure them Into ungodly acquisition of wealth.

Some of the Church members, Prof. Samuel Olanrewaju, Chief Peter Mobolaji and Mr Sunday Aboderin expressed gratitude to God for yet another harvest thanksgiving service of the Church.

While wishing the congregation a happy harvest thanksgiving celebration, they prayed God to spare the lives of all Church members towards witnessing more years of harvest thanksgiving.

Highpoints of the Church’s 2025 Harvest Thanksgiving Service were special hymn renditions by children and women groups and prayers of thanksgiving for members of the Church and the country in general.
