The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof. Kwaku Mensah Mawutor, has challenged Christians, particularly young people, to live distinctively in order to manifest the power of God in an increasingly secular world.
Addressing participants at the ongoing PENSA Ghana Conference at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), under the topic, “Living Spiritually in the Secular Environment, Prof. Mawutor told believers to be willing to stand out in character, values and conduct if they are to experience the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent nature of God.
According to him, spiritual distinction is not about conformity to worldly standards but about embracing one’s God-given uniqueness.
“To unleash the power of God, you must be different,” he stated, adding that a believer’s uniqueness, when aligned with God’s purpose, has the capacity to transform lives and destinies.
Prof. Mawutor drew biblical examples from the lives of David and Joseph, describing them as individuals who raised the banner of God despite enduring seasons of trials and preparation.
He noted that David’s journey from shepherd boy to king, and Joseph’s rise from prison to the palace, were results of faithfulness, discipline and unwavering trust in God through the process.
He encouraged participants to remain steadfast, stressing that uniqueness comes with a cost. “Your uniqueness will require patience and endurance,” he said, urging young Christians not to compromise their faith in the face of societal pressure.
The 4-day PENSA Ghana Conference is under the theme, The Church Unleashed to Transform Society through The Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit.
