'RETIRE TO REFIRE
Dr. Emokpae retired in December 2024 from being president and national leader of Foursquare Church in Trinidad and Tobago. Dr Emokpae also decided to retire from Foursquare Church in Nigeria end of March 2025 and transitioned
to an Independent Ministry, with the consent of the Parents of the ministry, Rev. Dr. & Rev. Mrs. Richard Oloidi, and the National leader of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. That gave birth to MACEDONIA CALL GLOBAL ASSEMBLY to make Jesus Known in the US, Africa, particularly Nigeria, and around the world, accompanied by good works.

Dr Emokpae’s love for the brothers and sisters in the Caribbean can never
wane but he was stepping down from Foursquare work in that region to enlarge and deepen Macedonia Call globally. The seed God wanted Dr Emokpae to sow in the Caribbean has been done. He is to water it under THE MACEDONIA CALL GLOBAL ASSEMBLY, with Pastor Turnel Hendrickson leading the work in that Region

 C.WHAT NEXT

Dr Osaren Emokpae’s portfolio as Executive Counsellor of Foursquare Nigeria ended 31st March 2025, exactly two years he transitioned from hands-on pastoring in Nigeria to that of the Caribbean and the US.  Although Dr Osaren Emokpae had desired to run the Nigerian leg of Macedonia Call 100% under Foursquare Gospel Nigeria, as in other countries, Consultations with Rev Dr Richard Oloidi, the Spiritual Father of Dr Emokpae, and Rev Dr Sam Aboyeji, the General Overseer of Foursquare Nigeria, it was felt it would not work in Nigeria. Consequently, three of them agreed THE MACEDONIA CALL should run as an Independent ministry in Nigeria but at liberty to be a community Foursquare church in the US. Macedonia Call Global Assembly was subsequently incorporated in the US, and the Certificate was presented by Dr. Osaren Emokpae to Rev. Sam Aboyeji on Tuesday 21st Jan 2025. Rev. Dr. Sam Aboyeji prayed for the ministry and requested that Dr. Emokpae should not turn his back on Foursquare Nigeria, particularly his spiritual children

 

  1. SCRIPTURAL GROUNDING OF THE MACEDONIA CALL

Macedonia Call -Acts 16: 6-15

6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.

13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. 15 When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
