Prophet Ebenezer Appiah, the Dansoman Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has urged Christians to arm themselves with the Sword of the Spirit (Word of God) to fight all battles.
Speaking on the topic: “Equipping the Church with the Sword of the Spirit,” at the ongoing 2022 Ministers and Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa-Fetteh, near Kasoa in the Central Region, Prophet Appiah said the Word of God has always been known as a defensive weapon for Christians, but it is also an offensive weapon that is used through word of mouth.
Prophet Appiah emphasised that the Bible is the manual given by God to direct man’s thoughts and intents, reveal God’s intents, and outline the records of the past for references, and should thus be used daily in all activities.
“Even though the Bible is full of histories, it also contains inspirations written by God to man,” he stated.
He described the nature of the Sword of the Spirit as having the ability to pierce the heart of man and having an influential nature that turns sinners towards God while charging the clergy to fight the devil’s efforts against them with the Bible.
Prophet Ebenezer Appiah disclosed that the Sword of the Spirit exists to remind Christians that they are in a fierce battle with the world. He urged that in equipping the Church with the Sword of the Spirit, members of the Church must make efforts to be trained and skilled in the use of the Sword of the Spirit, learn as much as they can about the Sword, and ask God to expose Himself to them through His Word, which will aid in the protection of their minds.
Church leaders, according to Prophet Ebenezer Appiah, are supposed to be equipped in all areas because they are the key frontiers before bringing members on board the equipping agenda.
“The Bible contains God’s mind, way of salvation. Read it to become wise and practice it to become holy. It contains light to guide us and food to nourish us. This is the Soldier’s sword,” he concluded.
