Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has called on all ministry leaders in the Church to effectively execute their roles with excellence.
According to Apostle Nyamekye, great leaders do not succeed alone, but behind them is a supporting team.
The Chairman said this on Friday, February 18, 2022, at the closing session of the National All Ministries Report Reading at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa-Fetteh, near Kasoa.
Speaking on the topic: “Three Things That Make One Effective,” Apostle Nyamekye indicated that God was with David and he [David] had people who supported him too. He said that David was a man of skill, good attitude and character.
“People talk about the leader because he is the face of the institution, but behind a good leader are a team of leaders playing the supportive role,” he revealed.
He further urged supporting leaders to manage, grow, and develop what has been entrusted to them effectively.
In explaining the three things that make one an effective leader, Apostle Nyamekye stressed that skills, attitude, and character are pivotal.
He noted that one’s skill, aptitude and practice come from their knowledge which enables them to perform a task well. He, therefore, charged all ministry leaders to be skilled at their work in possessing the nations.
“With skills, you acquire knowledge and gain for yourself through your actions and efforts,” he stated, adding that the skilled leader should be diligent.
On attitude, the Chairman stated: “Attitude is your response to happenings around you as a leader. It could be positive or negative – could be threatening or relaxing.”
Apostle Eric Nyamekye indicated that attitude draws people closer or repels them from a leader and causes people to either love or hate the leader. He, therefore, admonished church leaders to watch their attitudes in the discharge of their duties.
In explaining character, the Chairman said that it is the aggregate of features, and traits that form the individual nature of some persons, especially with reference to behaviour or personality, and may carry a suspicious character.
He advised the ministry leaders to build positive characters, saying, “Character is the foundation upon which our ministry or life is built. It is the real man behind the ministry, and impregnates the ministry work.”
Apostle Eric Nyamekye ended by entreating the various ministries in the church to collaborate and effectively work together to achieve excellence.
Prophet David Kankam Beditor, Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Committee and Area Head of Ashaiman, led the participants in a time of prayer.
In attendance were Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe (International Missions Director), all Ministry Directors (PEMEM, Women’s Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Evangelism Ministry, Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM), Home and Urban Mission (HUM), Chaplaincy Ministry, Chieftaincy Ministry, Ministry To Persons With Disabilities (MPWDs)), Area Ministry Leaders, and representatives from the various ministry committees.
