The Bompata Area Head and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng, has called on ministers to lead righteous lives lest they lose the reverence accorded them as “men of God.”
Apostle Adjei-Kwarteng gave this admonition on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, at the Ashanti Regional session of the ongoing Ministers and Wives’ Conference during his presentation on the topic: “The Church Called to A Holy Living.”
Using 2 Timothy 1:8-9 and Ephesians 5:27 as his key Bible references, the Bompata Area Head emphasised that God does not strive to be more holy than He already is, asserting that “God is the standard of holiness. His being is an epitome of perfected holiness.”
He indicated that holiness is the only moral attribute of God which is referred to by the angels in heaven three times in a continuous manner in scripture (Revelation 4:5).
Apostle Adjei-Kwarteng cited the story of Samson, who was deceived into revealing the source of His strength and subsequently had his eyes were removed, to drum home the point that when holiness is lost – in other words, when the Spirit of God departs – the minister would also lose their reverence before men.
He ended his presentation with a call on ministers to eschew unholy lifestyles in order to receive grace from God, adding that “unless we cooperate with God, grace cannot work.”
“The church is the only institution that God has, it must, therefore, be holy else we are none of His,” he asserted.
