The Ashanti Bekwai Area of The Church of Pentecost, under the leadership of Apostle Fred Tiakor, held a one-day Holy Ghost Convention at the Bekwai Central Assembly auditorium.
The event, which was held on Friday, March 15, 2024, under the theme “Receiving Power to Be Unleashed” (Acts 1:8), had Apostle I.K. Amoako (Rtd.) as guest speaker and was attended by over 1,700 members.
Speaking on the main theme with scripture references from Acts 1:8 and Luke 11:9-13, Apostle I.K. Amoako said that there are two categories of the Holy Spirit, that is His indwelling and His empowering nature.
He emphasised that the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit equips the believer for service in God’s Kingdom.
He said that as soon as one accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour, the Holy Spirit indwells them, and this gives them the fruit of righteousness and the heart of Jesus.
Apostle I.K. Amoako, however, noted that the empowering nature of the Holy Spirit is worked at and this is what is needed to be effectively unleashed for greater works.
According to him, one cannot rely on the indwelling spirit to do exploits, and therefore, advised Christians to yearn for the empowering spirit as they are being unleashed to conquer kingdoms for the Lord.
After the sermon, Pastor Seth Kwaku Ansah led the congregation in prayer during which 88 members received Holy Spirit baptism.
Also, many others received healings from all kinds of diseases.
Present at the Holy Ghost Convention were the area pastorate and their wives as well as officers and members of the church from the 22 districts in the area.
