The Ministry to Persons with Disabilities (MPWDs), led by Pastor Alexander Nyame, the National Coordinator, has commenced their Christmas Convention at various locations across the nation.
The event, which began on Thursday, November 21, 2024, is themed: “A People of God Unleashed to Transform Their World” (1 Peter 2:9-10, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 2:10).
Speaking at the opening session at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa-Fetteh, Pastor Nyame emphasised the unique calling of God’s people, their special identity, and their purpose in transforming the world for God’s glory.
Basing his sermon on Acts 1:8 and under the themes: “A Chosen People,” “God’s Treasured Possession,” and “A People to Transform the World,” Pastor Nyame highlighted that believers are chosen by God to serve as kings and priests. He elaborated on the concept of a royal priesthood, explaining that Christians are called to represent God on earth.
Drawing a comparison with the Old Testament priests, he pointed out that their garments symbolised dignity and honour (Exodus 28:6; Exodus 29).
“Today, believers are clothed in Jesus Christ, representing their spiritual transformation,” he added.
Pastor Nyame further explained that God’s choice of Israel, and by extension all believers, serves a divine purpose. Quoting Ephesians 2:10, he revealed that believers are God’s handiwork, created in Christ to do good works.
He also referenced Titus 2:14, reminding the congregation of their calling to live holy and righteous lives (1 Thessalonians 4:7), show kindness (Ephesians 4:32), and declare God’s praises (Isaiah 43:21).
“God chose us to make Him known to the world and to manifest His manifold wisdom,” he said, quoting Ephesians 3:10.
In conclusion, Pastor Nyame called on believers to recognise their role in transforming the world. He noted that transformation begins with personal testimony, a life changed by God, and unwavering faith. He cited Ephesians 1:13, reminding participants that believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit, empowering them to declare God’s praises and fulfill their divine mandate.
Pastor Nyame urged believers to rise and shine as lights in their communities, making God known through their testimonies and good works.
“Let us transform our world for God’s glory,” he concluded.
Present at the service were Apostle William Kojo Ezhorhoho (Downtown Ofaakor Area Head), various regional MPWDs Coordinators, and members of the church.
