The Area Head of Cape Coast and the Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) Chairman for the Central Region of The Church of Pentecost has urged Christian politicians to be agents of transformation wherever they find themselves, rather than towing along the status quo.
Preaching on the theme: “The New Creation and the Possessing the Nation Agenda,” at the ongoing Ministers and Wives’ Conference in the Central Region, Apostle Samuel Antwi stated that the American Puritans, who were believers and professionals, used their profession to expand God’s Kingdom on earth by fighting for righteousness everywhere.
“Christians like Jonathan Edwards changed the world with sleepless nights of prayer,” he emphasized, using the example of William Wilberforce, a British parliamentarian who did not rest until the laws prohibiting the slave trade were enacted.
He added: “Through prayers and actions, the lawyers of the America Puritans argued for changes in the laws of their times and introduced new ones that were consistent with the values and principles of God’s Kingdom.”
Apostle Antwi charged politicians, especially Members of Parliament to speak up for the Lord and present arguments in the House of Parliament that reflect God and His Kingdom, rather than simply towing party lines and ideologies.
“And when we are called back home, will we be able to tell the principal that we have accomplished His purpose as agents in whatever capacity we found ourselves?” he asked the group.
Using Jesus on earth as an example of what is required to be true transformational agents, Apostle Antwi stated that believers, like Jesus, must be anointed and be branches of the true vine (Acts 10:38, John 15: 1-5).
“And always remember that to whom much is given, much is required,” he concluded.
