The just ended 6th Royals Conference organised by The Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, witnessed a significant moment as 62 traditional rulers publicly embraced their faith in Jesus Christ.
The 3-day event, held from June 25 to 27, 2024, under the theme, “Moral Vision and National Development: The Role of Traditional Rulers,” drew 1,612 traditional rulers from both Ghana and Togo. Among them were 77 paramount chiefs, 38 paramount queenmothers, divisional chiefs, and other royals.
During the closing session on Thursday, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Apostle Eric Nyamekye, who was the convenor of the conference, preached a powerful sermon on ‘When You Have Become A King/Queen.’
He personally led an altar call, urging the traditional rulers who were not born again to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ—the ultimate source of power and security. Sixty-two responded to the call and surrendered their lives to Christ while many others rededicated their lives to Christ.
Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that their reliance on Christ would provide the wisdom needed to lead their communities effectively. Drawing parallels with King Solomon’s request for wisdom to govern Israel, he encouraged them to seek divine guidance rather than turning to other sources of spiritual power.
The biannual royals conference which began in 2014 under Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah, the then Chairman of the church, seeks to bring all royals in and outside the church together to align their rule with godly values and principles to foster peace and development in their communities.
