He enjoined  members of the church and Christians in the country to seek at all times to increase and abound in grace.  
Speaking at the 2014 convocation of Wuse District held last week Sunday, he said “God is the source of grace. It therefore means that if we are to experience abounding grace , God must take a prime place in our lives. As children of God, we face various challenges of life-family, health, business, career , ministry among others. It is when we abound in grace that we can overcome all these areas of concern.”
The General  Overseer said why the theme of the convocation was tagged ‘Abounding Grace’ was because the grace of God for man can only be sustained when there is grace. According to him, “Man by human strength can achieve little or nothing. The strength of man can only take you to a point and you are no more. So, everyone, Christians, unbelievers even infidels , if there are people  like that needs grace and that was what brought about this theme,” he said.
Reverend Meduoye observed that  everybody, irrespective of who they are needs the grace to be able to live, sustain the life and the burden they are carrying and at the end of it to be able to stand justified before God. “Because it is appointed on to man to die and after death come judgment. So where will you stand? It takes grace for you to be able to stand in the right place,” he said.
He urged the Four Square Church members to avoid every distraction and be determine to receive all that God has earmarked for them during this year’s convocation of the church.
In his word of encouragement  for the Wuse District of the church on the pursuit of the what he called Decades of Multiplication vision of the present national administration, he said: “ You have contributed in no small measure in advancing this God-given vision and it is our expectation that as a District you will continue to do more in the years ahead through the power and grace of God”
Earlier in his speech, the Wuse District Overseer, Reverend Babatunde A. Idowu said to give bountifully requires grace. He stated that ” giving, not just of money but of time and talents is an essential part of Christian service and stewardship”.  He  added that to further emphases the aspect of generous giving , Apostle Paul dealt with the thought which was expressed in the phrase: What I gave I kept; what I kept I lost. “While the words of his text primarily applied to money matters, its application can be general and universal, which should affect all aspects of the Christian life”  He urged the church members at the convocation to utilize the abounding grace of God at their disposal. “Much has been committed into our hands by God and his grace is available unto us,” he said.
