The Dormaa Area of The Church of Pentecost officially launched this year’s Pentecost Men’s Ministry (PEMEM) national week celebration for 2024 at the Wamfie Estate Central Assembly auditorium.
The theme for this year’s celebration is “Godly Men Unleashed to Transform Their World,” drawing inspiration from Titus 2:13-14, 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 1:26, and Genesis 2:15.
The event featured a practical exposition delivered by Apostle Abraham Swanzy, the Dormaa Area Head, who encouraged men to embrace their divine roles and responsibilities.
Dwelling on key scriptures Genesis 1:26-27 and 2:15-23, Apostle Abraham Swanzy began by reflecting on Genesis 1:26-27, emphasizing that men are created in God’s image and given the mandate to be fruitful and multiply.
This foundational command, according to him, underscores the role of men as leaders and caretakers of creation. Moving to Genesis 2:15, Apostle Swanzy highlighted that God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
He explained that the aforementioned Bible verse establishes the principle of stewardship and responsibility bestowed upon men. “Adam was given the power to name the animals, which proves man’s authority and accountability in God’s creation,” he said.
Apostle Swanzy then referenced Genesis 2:23, where Adam recognises Eve as “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,” to drum home the need for a deep, inherent connection between husbands and their wives.
The Dormaa Area Head drew several important lessons from these scriptures, urging men to apply these principles in their lives.
He mentioned these principles as: embracing responsibility, being good stewards of the environment, prioritizing spousal love, and leading their families with transparency and integrity, fostering an environment of trust and openness.
The launch of the National PEMEM Week Celebration was indeed a profound call to action for men in The Church of Pentecost to rise to their divine calling.
