The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has made a clarion call to Christians to make conscious efforts to preach the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
He made this call during a sermon at the Handing Over and Induction service for the former and new Executives of the Ghana Evangelical Missions Association, held on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at the Calvary Baptist Church, Shiashie.
Explaining what the Gospel is, the General Secretary said that it is the good news about Jesus and what God has done in Christ. He explained that because the world was filled with sin and had separated man from God, Jesus Christ came to die to pay the penalty for sin so that mankind may become children of God through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
According to Apostle Oboubi, it is important to note that the gospel is never about what individuals have done or can do but about what Jesus has already accomplished. Hence, there is no need for it to be diluted to seek personal praise.
He noted that if the death and resurrection of Christ are not the gospel, then we do not have any gospel to preach about.
Highlighting the characteristics of the gospel, the Chief Scribe of The Church of Pentecost said, “The gospel is so simple that one doesn’t need to go to a seminary to grasp it, nor does anyone need to go into ministry to preach it.”
He also added that the gospel is so powerful that it can defend itself and bring transformation, as evident in Romans 10:16. “It inherently has power. Nobody can defend it. It will defend itself. Just release it. It has the power to save, change lives, and bring transformation,” he stated.
Apostle Oboubi enjoined church leaders to move out of their comfort zones, do away with their personal agendas and church politics, and collaborate to spread the gospel because the Gospel must be carried by the church from one point to another.
The Ghana Evangelical Missions Association is a para-denominational organization established 34 years ago by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through Rev. Dr. Seth Anyemi to coordinate the work of all mission-related organizations in Ghana, to win more souls for God and increase fruitfulness.
