THE HOME CHURCH CONCEPT - A BIBLICALLY PROVEN STRATEGY TO MULTIPLY YOUR CHURCH web

The Home Church Concept – A Biblically Proven Strategy To Multiply Your Church

INTRODUCTION

In today’s fast-paced world, many churches struggle with evangelism, discipleship, and sustainable growth. Traditional models often require significant financial investments in buildings and programs, yet many still face challenges in retaining new believers and expanding their reach. 

But what if there was a proven, biblical strategy that could overcome these obstacles—one that fosters deep discipleship, ensures high retention rates, and multiplies churches without the burden of massive costs? 

The answer lies in the ‘Home Church Concept, ‘ a return to the early church’s organic, relational, and highly effective model. 

THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF HOME CHURCHES

The home church concept is not a modern innovation but a revival of the New Testament approach to worship and discipleship. Scripture provides a clear blueprint: 

The Early Church Met in Homes– The first Christians gathered in houses (Acts 2:46, Romans 16:5, 1 Corinthians 16:19, Colossians 4:15). These intimate settings fostered deep fellowship, accountability, and rapid multiplication. 

Relational Discipleship – Jesus invested deeply in a small group (the Twelve) before expanding His ministry. Home churches replicate this model, ensuring new believers are nurtured, not just numbered. 

Cost-Effective Expansion – Without the need for expensive buildings, early Christianity spread rapidly across regions (Acts 8:4, 13:1-3). 

WHY MODERN CHURCHES NEED THE HOME CHURCH MODEL

1. Effective Soul Winning & Discipleship

Many churches struggle to move beyond occasional evangelism to consistent discipleship. Home churches create an environment where new believers are immediately integrated into a spiritual family, reducing dropout rates. 

2. Near 100% Retention of New Converts

Traditional churches often lose members shortly after baptism due to a lack of follow-up. Home churches provide ongoing mentorship, ensuring converts grow in faith and remain active. 

3. Rapid Multiplication Without Financial Strain

Planting churches in homes eliminates the need for costly land and buildings. This allows for exponential growth, even in unreached or under-resourced areas. 

4. Empowering Lay Leaders

Home churches naturally raise leaders within the community, as members take ownership of the ministry rather than relying solely on a central pastor. 

5. Cultural Adaptability

Whether in urban apartments, rural villages, or persecuted regions, home churches thrive where traditional structures cannot. 

PROVEN RESULTS: THE HOME CHURCH IN ACTION

The effectiveness of this model is not just theoretical—it’s producing remarkable results worldwide. For example:  Berekum Area Church of Pentecost (Ghana):2021, won 11,571 souls, baptized 8,350 in water, planted 82 local Assemblies, and established 350 home churches. 

Amrahia Area began the Home church concept just about six months ago, and at the end of the half-year, July 2025, I33 Home churches had been established with a total number of 996 members in fellowship, and six local Assemblies had been opened.

While the Berekum and Amrahia Church of Pentecost in Ghana offers a compelling example of large-scale, overt home church multiplication in a largely receptive context, it’s equally important to examine how the home church model thrives in more secularized environments.

 “Hope Germany” (Hoffnung Deutschland), a network of house churches in Germany, provides an excellent illustration of successful, organic growth in a post-Christian landscape.

However, reports indicate significant, sustained growth:

Over 1,000 New Communities: According to reports, Hoffnung Deutschland planted an estimated 1,000 new communities in about 20 years. This is a remarkable achievement in a highly secularized European nation where traditional church attendance is declining.

Hope Germany stands as a compelling example of how the home church concept can flourish in challenging environments, quietly yet powerfully transforming lives and multiplying communities of faith through authentic relationships and a simple, reproducible model.

This growth demonstrates the power of the home church concept when it’s well implemented.

HOW TO START A HOME CHURCH

Implementing a home church strategy involves a shift in mindset and a practical approach to building community and discipleship.

1. Vision Casting and Training:

Communicate the “Why”: Clearly articulate the biblical basis and the benefits of the home church model (discipleship, retention, multiplication, affordability). Emphasize how it aligns with the Great Commission.

Offer Comprehensive Training: Provide a “Home Church: Biblical Strategies for Church Planting” course (or similar training) to equip leaders and members. This should cover:

  • Theological foundations of home church systems.
  • Historical perspectives on house churches.
  • Practical skills for initiating and nurturing home-based congregations.
  • Relational discipleship principles.
  • Community engagement strategies.
  • Emphasize Simplicity and Practicality: Ensure the training and resources are easy to understand and apply, even for those without formal theological backgrounds.

2. Identifying and Empowering Leaders:

  • Prayerful Selection: Seek God’s guidance in identifying individuals with a passion for discipleship and a heart for community. These should be individuals who demonstrate spiritual maturity, commitment to scripture, and a prayerful life.
  • Train Lay Leaders: The home church model thrives on lay leadership. Invest heavily in training these leaders to spearhead discipleship, facilitate gatherings, and provide pastoral care within their small groups.
  • Ongoing Mentorship and Support: Leaders need continuous encouragement, guidance, and opportunities to learn from more experienced mentors. Establish a system for regular check-ins and support.

3. Starting the Home Churches:

  • Begin with Relationships: Encourage existing church members to identify friends, family, and neighbors they can invite into a home setting. The initial focus is on building genuine relationships.
  • Keep it Simple: The first gatherings should be informal and welcoming. Think of it as inviting family or friends over. The emphasis is on community, sharing, and simple worship.
  • Flexible Structure: While there should be a core vision, allow each home church to develop its unique rhythm and expression within biblical principles. This can include:
  • Worship: Simple singing, prayer, and sharing.
  • Bible Study/Discussion: Interactively engaging with scripture.
  • Fellowship: Sharing meals, spending time together, and supporting one another.
  • Outreach: Identifying and serving needs within their local community.
  • Proximity-Based Grouping: Utilize a database or a simple map to group people by their geographical proximity. This makes it easier for people to attend and fosters a sense of local community.

4. Discipleship and Retention:

  • Relational Discipleship: The home church setting facilitates deep, authentic relationships, which are crucial for effective discipleship. Leaders can provide personalized guidance and support.
  •  Integration of New Converts: Actively welcome and integrate new believers into the home church family. The intimate setting helps them feel a sense of belonging and minimizes the chances of them drifting away.
  • Addressing Needs: The smaller size allows for more immediate attention to the spiritual and practical needs of individual members, fostering strong bonds and commitment.

5. Multiplication and Expansion:

  • Organic Growth: As a home church grows, the natural progression is to multiply. When a group becomes too large to maintain intimacy (e.g., 10-15 people), prayerfully identify new leaders from within the group and prepare to “split” into two new home churches.
  • Empowerment for Church Planting: The ultimate goal is to equip and empower members to start new home churches, effectively saturating communities with the gospel without requiring large financial investments in physical buildings.
  • Regular Celebrations: Organize periodic larger gatherings (e.g., once a month or quarterly) where multiple home churches can come together for corporate worship, teaching, and celebration. This reinforces the broader church identity and encourages connection.
  • Document and Share Successes: Highlight inspiring stories of growth and transformation within the home churches. This encourages others and builds momentum.

6. Overcoming Challenges:

  • Leadership Development: Continuously invest in raising new leaders, as a lack of leadership can hinder multiplication.
  • Conflict Resolution: Equip leaders with skills to address conflicts biblically and quickly within the intimate setting.
  • Maintaining Vision: Regularly reinforce the core vision of the home church movement to keep everyone aligned and motivated.

By following these steps, ministries can effectively implement the home church strategy, fostering authentic community, deep discipleship, and rapid church multiplication.

A GLOBAL SOLUTION FOR THE GREAT COMMISSION

The landscape of modern evangelism and church growth often presents significant challenges. Many church leaders grapple with effectively winning and discipling souls, retaining new converts, and expanding their reach without substantial financial resources. What if there were a strategy, deeply rooted in biblical principles, that offered a solution to these common hurdles?

15 ‘NEED-KNOW’ EXPLANATORY REALITIES ON THE SEEMING TENSION BETWEEN GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY web

15 ‘Need-Know’ Explanatory Realities On The Seeming Tension Between God’s Sovereignty And Human Responsibility

 1.⁠ ⁠God has a perfect plan for each person

 2.⁠ ⁠God’s perfect plan for each person is for each person to be saved and successful in fulfilling their part of His redemptive economy/story

 3.⁠ ⁠The role of some people in the divine redemptive economy seems pleasant with few dark moments while the roles of others have many dark moments

 4.⁠ ⁠All a person needs to do is respond to salvation in Christ by faith and respond to the voice of the Holy Spirit for direction and strength to fulfil their roles

 5.⁠ ⁠The attitude of a person fulfilling their prophetic role in the divine redemptive economy is one of thanksgiving in all situations with no competition, comparison, or complains

 6.⁠ ⁠Having fellowship with the Holy Spirit and with others in Christ ensures that the blood of Christ keeps us within the mercies of God such that our weaknesses, limitations, and failing do not gather enough traction to reach a critical threshold to take us beyond the reach of God’s mercy like Hosphni and Phinehas or Nadab and Abihu, thus annulling our prophetic role in God’s redemptive economy through God’s ruthless judgment that has begun in His household

 7.⁠ ⁠God has graciously made available the entry of sin, evil, and Satan and given humans the free will to choose salvation in Christ or reject salvation in Christ and follow the way of sin, evil, and Satan. Love gives options but does not discount the consequences of options

 8.⁠ ⁠Yielding to the works of Satan in a rebellious way leads to the truncation of one’s role in God’s redemptive plan and ultimately ending up in the lake of fire – God’s ‘refuse dump’ – where all the old creation order and those who hate Jesus Christ, the Saviour, will dwell for all eternity. One can’t stay with a Saviour he/she so much hates and refuses to acknowledge

 9.⁠ ⁠There are players in the redemptive economy whose roles are evil and wicked but advance the redemptive economy by creating the contrast premise for the demonstration of God’s glory often in fulfilment of a prophecy. Examples include the Pharaoh at the time of biblical Moses; the team that synergised to kill Jesus, etc. For such people, God invariably gives a long range of mercy for prolonged opportunities to be saved until they exhaust the rope. This may explain the reason wicked people seem to live long

10.⁠ ⁠People who are disadvantaged or killed to fulfil prophetic roles in the redemptive plan, such as people born with mental deformities, children killed by Herod at the time of the birth of Christ, etc. remain in the saved state

11.⁠ ⁠The only person who remains condemned to hell without another opportunity for repentance just like Satan and his host of wicked spirits (the ‘beasts’ in Revelation) is the ‘Son of perdition’ – a role unfortunately chosen by Judas Iscariot

12.⁠ ⁠There are aspects of life that are not ordained by God, even though God can use them to advance redemptive course, build Christian character, and reveal more of His salvific glory. These include temptation from Satan and deception from Satan aimed to steal, to kill, and to destroy. The Satanic work of trying to destroy Joseph (a typology of Jesus) and Jesus rather ended in revealing God’s glory. Satanic host lacked foreknowledge of this glorious redemptive ends. Otherwise, they would not have instigated the selling of Joseph or the killing of Jesus. All things worked together for a glorious end

13.⁠ ⁠Prayer does not change any of God’s plans for one’s life. Prayer destroys the works of Satan in the life of a person and aligns all forces and stakeholders to God’s plan for a person. Prayer, therefore, leads to the maximisation of the fulfilment of one’s role in God’s redemptive economy

14.⁠ ⁠The moon knows its place as a satellite to the earth. The planets know their place and stay in their orbits. Do you and I know our place in the redemptive economy with each passing time and context?

15.⁠ ⁠Restlessness only results from the lack of knowledge, contentment, and effectiveness in our place in the redemptive economy.

A BLADE OF FIRE web

A Blade Of Fire: The Urgent Call To Possess The Nations For Christ

The hour is late. The shadows grow darker.

Beyond the headlines of war, disease, and economic collapse lies a deeper, more insidious darkness consuming the very soul of humanity. People are not merely struggling—they are perishing. They are not simply lost—they are being led further astray. The world is not just chaotic—it is bleeding, desperate for the only antidote to its fatal condition.

And into this apocalyptic spiritual landscape, God thunders His command to the Church. This is not a suggestion; it is the ultimate, non-negotiable imperative: POSSESS THE NATIONS FOR CHRIST.

Let there be no confusion. This is not a call to earthly dominion, political power, or coercion. That would betray the Cross. Our King reigns by the Spirit. Our conquest is forged in truth, sacrificial love, and radical transformation.

To “possess the nations” is to carry a vision so vast it stretches the imagination: to see every culture, language, people group, and sphere of influence saturated with the redeeming, life-giving, transforming glory of Jesus Christ. From the corridors of power to the most remote villages, from Silicon Valley’s algorithms to tribal communities in the forest, this is a commitment to fill the earth with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

THE UNYIELDING ENGINE: RADICAL EVANGELISM NOW!

How will such a monumental vision be realised? Not by committees alone. Not by noble social programs. Not by well-meaning cultural initiatives. These are important expressions of the Kingdom—but they are not its engine.

The true engine of transformation has always been—and must always remain—radical evangelism.

This is not a task reserved for “professionals.” It is the very breath of the Church, the heartbeat of every Spirit-filled believer. Grasp the magnitude of this:

  • Evangelism is spiritual warfare. When you declare the Gospel, you are not engaging in polite conversation; you are storming the gates of hell. You tear down strongholds, break chains of spiritual blindness, and rescue souls from the edge of eternal separation from God. The stakes are eternal.
  • Evangelism births new creation. When a soul hears, believes, and surrenders to the Gospel, the universe shifts. A spirit dead in sin comes alive. A captive life is set free. A destiny of eternal separation becomes one of eternal communion with God. This is the beginning of all true “possession.”
  • Evangelism sparks a chain reaction. One transformed life, filled with the Holy Spirit, becomes a beacon—salt and light in their family, workplace, and community. They embody Christ’s love, speak His truth, and reflect His justice. The Kingdom expands person by person, family by family, until nations begin to shake under the weight of divine influence.

THE TIME IS NOT LATER. THE TIME IS NOW. YOU ARE THE INSTRUMENT.

Jesus did not give the Great Commission only to apostles. He gave it to all disciples. He gave it to you.

Your environment is your mission field—your home, school, workplace, and social circle are not random. They are strategic outposts.

Your testimony is a divine weapon. Your encounter with Christ is more than a story—it is living, irrefutable evidence, sharper than any two-edged sword.

Your spirit is your force. You are not armed with mere words but with resurrection power—the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. You are equipped to speak life into death.

We cannot afford to delay. We cannot afford to be silent. The blood of the perishing is on the hands of a passive Church. Inaction is complicity in the darkness we claim to oppose.

NO LONGER JUST WORDS: DEMONSTRATING THE GOSPEL IN EVERY SPHERE

While verbal proclamation is essential, evangelism in the context of “possessing the nations” demands visible, undeniable demonstration of Christ’s Kingdom.

  • When you stand for justice, you manifest God’s righteousness.
  • When you serve the forgotten, you reveal the compassion of the Father.
  • When you build with integrity, you inject Kingdom principles into the marketplace.
  • When you create beauty that uplifts, you reflect the divine Creator.

These are not mere good deeds. They are proof—living demonstrations of the Gospel’s power. But remember: their meaning and power come from the transforming truth of Jesus Christ. Without evangelism, these acts risk becoming empty humanitarianism. With it, they become an unstoppable wave of redemptive transformation.

RISE UP! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT OF DESTINY!

The grand vision of Revelation 7:9 is not a distant hope—it is the certain fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan:

“A great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”

This is the glorious “possession” that awaits, and you are called to hasten its arrival.

Do not let fear paralyze you. Do not let comfort numb you. The darkness is vast, but the Light in you is greater. The world is dying, but the message you carry is eternal life.

AWAKE, O CHRISTIAN!

  • CRY OUT in unrelenting prayer for the lost.
  • SPEAK OUT with Spirit-empowered boldness.
  • LIVE OUT radical integrity that makes Christ irresistible.
  • GO OUT—whether across your street or across the world—wherever the Spirit leads.

The nations are not just groaning—they are screaming for hope. They are waiting for you, the called, the chosen, the empowered, to reveal the Son of God.

The time for waiting is over.

The time for action is NOW.

Let us rise, unleash the Gospel, and with every fiber of our being,

POSSESS THE NATIONS FOR JESUS CHRIST!

SEXUAL IMMORALITY web

Sexual Immorality: A Message To Married Couples

Have you asked, why there are many sex programs on our televisions, radios and even social media platforms?

And to my surprise most of these programs are done last in the evening in order to engage only the adults especially the married ones.

Have you really asked yourself why such programs even for married ones? What then will prevent a husband from having sex with his wife? What then will also prevent a wife from demanding sex from her husband? These are questions asked by unmarried individuals.

When you are not married, you may think what marriage can only offer you is regular sex. No doubt about that. You can go the extra mile on sex with your spouse and there is no hindrance to that. Only your decisions matter.

Sexual intercourse is mostly attributed to married couples. But the question is, why many couples are struggling to have it? I know there are some factors. To some because of health issues. To others because of familiarity and just laziness.

I want you to come to the knowing with this article that, what is called SEXUAL IMMORALITY is also existing among couples.

Most at times, we normally associate sexual immorality to those who are not married. But it will surprise you, those unmarried are even moral when it comes to sex affairs yet it is not biblical for them to engage in such act.

What then is Sexual Immorality? That’s, not living sexual life as expected of you as a married person. In other words, living contrarily from the way and manner sex should be done as a married person.

Truth to be told, there is a way to sex. That’s why the power of your marriage is on sex aside prayers and proper communication. And this is where if care is not taken the devil stands to affect the marriage because of how this sex is being done.

First, know that, the way to sexual intercourse is romance. And this romance doesn’t start its full capacity in the bedroom. Romance is a lifestyle that must happened day in and out as married ones. The way you talk to each other, the way you accept your faults and embrace yourself together, how transparent you are to yourself and how naughty you people are, are what is called Romance.

Cuddling, kissing, massaging, sucking, licking and the other acts that happens at the hall of your room or on your bed is just 5% constituent of sex. There is the need for  you to know that there is Pre-Sex, Sex & Post-Sex. This will help you to be sexually moral.

Some men think sexing the wife for about hours is the deal. Surprisingly, you can sex for hours yet there will be no satisfaction from you and your wife when you don’t know how to deal with what she needs from you in sex.

To some also, because they know their wives are with them forever, they just sex them hurriedly with selfish mindset.

I believe now per few examples, you have come to realise the topic; SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

When sex becomes immoral by married couples, its affect the marriage. I keep telling couples that, “In marriage, sex answers everything.” The nagging, the anger, the disrespect and other acts that drain the marriage is because sex in marriage are not properly done. And this can cause the couples especially the husband to see the wife as just sex toy that is by only checking up or come to her when he feels for sex.

This attitude has immediate effect on the children in the family as well. It will surprise you to know that, you sometimes shout at your children unnecessarily because you were unable to reached your orgasm. Have you realised that you at times mentioned their fathers name to insult or correct them when they are behaving because orgasm was not reached?

Healthy family is where sex is appreciated and morally governed. Your family needs that happiness of sex to stay. It is an intimacy between you and your spouse alright yet they need that often in order to see a smiling face and a happy home.

ATTAINING GREATNESS web

Attaining Greatness: The Perspective Of The Kingdom Of Heaven

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:1–4 (NIV)

To be great in life and in one’s field of endeavor is the ambition of any visionary individual. Even society accepts and recognises men who command and carry a level of greatness. Because life should not just be lived, but be lived with a sense of purpose towards greatness and being out of the ordinary, many take steps to do the needful in achieving this.

I believe it is out of this notion that the disciples of Jesus in the verses quoted above in chapter 18 of the Gospel according to Matthew inquired from Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Maybe they had read about or heard lectures on how to achieve greatness from the world’s perspective and what it recognises as great, but they wanted to know from the perspective and lens of the kingdom of heaven.

The Greek word meizōn, translated as “greatest” in English, is compared to or similar to another word, megas, which carries meanings relevant to our discussion, such as:

  1. to be full of mass and weight
  2. to be esteemed highly for your importance and excellence

The Greek translation of this verse indicates this as the notion with which the disciples asked the question of greatness in the kingdom. They wanted to know who or which class of people will be recognised as weightier and will be highly esteemed by heaven for their relevance and excellence.

In answering this question, Jesus seized the opportunity to unveil a very important principle in the kingdom: the principle of humility and lowliness. He taught them that in the kingdom, the way to the top is down and not up. He posited that how the kingdom recognises and attributes greatness is different from how the world does it. The world attaches greatness to the flamboyant, flashy, and even sometimes the loud and the known. However, greatness in the kingdom is attributed or attached to the lowly and humble, simple and elemental.

To further explain this principle, He brought before them a little child and said, “Unless you change and become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom.”

Jesus explained that to be great, change and take the lowly position of a child. The key thing here is “change and take.” To change from one state to another connotes intentionality. It means you should be intentional about becoming lowly and humble. You must intentionally decide to descend from your high-ranking status and start from scratch like a child. The natural man (one who’s not gone through the experience of regeneration) originally has a little trace of ego and pomposity in him, but when it comes to greatness in the kingdom, you must intentionally let go of these because you cannot walk the pathway of greatness with them. For it is after you’ve changed and taken the lowly position that you can qualify to be weighty and be highly esteemed in the kingdom.

What is it about the child that Jesus made him a reference point, and being childlike the pathway to greatness? This will be discussed with the three S’s which portray peculiar traits of the child which, if any man possesses, will qualify him for greatness in the kingdom.

1. SERVICE

The first of these traits is service. From my observation in working with children, I have seen that they are mostly serviceable. They are readily available to be used for anything you will call upon them to do. It is obvious that the menial jobs in homes are largely done by children.

He that becomes childlike is no different from a servant. Childlikeness equates one to a servant or servanthood, which is a sure path to greatness.

To serve or to render service is to do works that benefit others. In serving, you don’t do things for yourself; you do what you do to the benefit of others. So Marianne Williamson, the American author, speaker, and political activist, said:

“Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help, the desire to serve.”

Serving and doing things not for yourself but for the benefit of others has a way of liberating and bringing the greatness locked up in you.

Jesus, who is the model of greatness, demonstrated this trait and endorsed it as a necessary requirement for greatness.

 [25] Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. [26] Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, [27] and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— [28] just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:25–28 (NIV)

Jesus, in all His splendor as God and King, changed and took up servanthood. He came to this earth not to be served but to serve sinful man, and for this, He was exalted to greatness and was given a name which is above (weightier, superior, esteemed, and highly excellent) every other name (Philippians 2:9).

He taught the disciples from these verses that understanding, grasping, and walking in this simple truth is enough for greatness — and you can only serve when you take the lowly position of a child.

2. SUBORDINATION

The second “S,” which is another great trait in a child, is subordination. Subordination is the quality of obedient submission. I will carefully explain this quality as letting go of your will in order to comply with the demands and requests of one in authority.

Just as children are by default subordinates in society and are automatically under authority — and so live by the dictates and demands of parents and people who are high and above them — so he who wants to walk the path of greatness must change and take up the lowly position of a subordinate. One of the things to note under subordination is that you have no will. You’ve traded your will and personal ambitions and have now taken that of another to live with and by it. What he tells you is what you do.

He that has not mastered the art of being under authority cannot be in authority. You would have to learn to be under authority to be great.

Your subordination should therefore be to God and then to those in authority in the flesh (James 4:7a; Romans 13:1).

3. SIMPLE TRUST

This is another key trait that makes being childlike a pathway to greatness from the perspective of the kingdom of heaven.

To trust is to have confidence or faith in someone or in something. The word simple means easy and not complicated. Therefore, I choose to define simple trust as easily putting confidence and faith in someone or something.

Children have this quality. If you’ve worked with children, you will realise that convincing them to believe or trust you on anything is not stressful. They don’t normally need to see evidence and proof before they trust or believe.

When Jesus was asking the disciples to be childlike to be great, He was telling them to put their confidence in God as the only one who can make them great — and to believe Him and His words, which have promised greatness, with everything in them regardless of the circumstances surrounding the promise or word. If He’s said it, just trust, believe, and hold on to it.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

The God we serve has promised us a great and better future. All that is needed to birth this greatness is a simple trust in Him and His word. Believe God and His word as a child, and heaven will recognise you highly and as weightier.

I consider that these are the great truths Jesus wanted to communicate to the disciples when He put the child among them in answering their question.

In conclusion, it is important to understand that how the world treats and defines greatness is extremely different from how the kingdom of heaven defines it. The world defines greatness in flamboyance, loudness, fame, wealth, and riches, but the kingdom of heaven sees greatness in being childlike. To be great in the kingdom, you should change and take up the lowly position of a child. Walking the path of childlikeness is a pathway we all should endeavor to tread.

CHPNet Global Healthcare Conference Marks 4 Years of Faith-Driven Medical Service web

CHPNet Global Healthcare Conference Marks 4 Years of Faith-Driven Medical Service

Over 700 Christian healthcare professionals, ministry leaders, and global advocates convened virtually on June 19, 2025, for the Christian Health Professionals Network (CHPNet) Global Healthcare Conference to commemorate four years of promoting faith-based healthcare and visionary leadership.

The conference highlighted CHPNet’s evolution from a classroom concept into a global movement, uniting healthcare practitioners who view their profession as a divine calling. This year’s theme emphasised “influence with purpose, impact with care,” reflecting the network’s growing mission to integrate faith, compassion, and excellence in healthcare delivery.

Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, charged attendees to regard their professional duties as sacred assignments. “When you are Christian, know that you are Christian to execute God’s purpose among humanity,” he stated. He urged practitioners to serve as “watchmen on the walls of the hospital,” exemplifying integrity, faith, and excellence in their roles.

Apostle Dr. Lord Donkor, National Head of The Church of Pentecost – UK, underscored the importance of collaboration within the Christian medical community. “Togetherness is not optional but essential,” he said, calling for synergy among healthcare professionals to reach places beyond the scope of the pulpit.

Also addressing the conference, Professor Address Malata, Vice Chancellor of Malawi University of Science and Technology, challenged professionals to uphold faith-based values in leadership. “We are co-workers with Christ,” she stated, urging leaders to remain spiritually grounded while advancing healthcare systems.

Professor Rotimi Jaiyesimi, Associate Director of Patient Safety in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), highlighted the transformative role of integrity and innovation in medical leadership. He encouraged participants to become agents of change through faith-informed service that honours both God and patients.

CHPNet President, Dr. Chim Kalumbi Mkambula, reflected on the organisation’s journey and reaffirmed its vision. “When you catch God’s vision and run with a pure heart, He sends destiny helpers to make it a reality,” she said, adding that CHPNet remains committed to “possessing the nations” through healthcare.

Personal testimonies added depth to the event. Ashleigh, a healthcare professional from South Africa, shared an emotional message to younger practitioners: “When we show up with compassion, patients don’t just receive care — they encounter the presence of Christ.”
Dr. Jasmin Kapoor recounted her work with CHPNet during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the importance of trust and human connection. “Healthcare is not just about medicine — it’s about belonging,” she said.

Vice President of CHPNet, Anthony Kueburtonye, concluded the conference by reaffirming the network’s communal foundation. “CHPNet is not just an organisation — it is a network of purpose, built by many hands answering the same call.”

The 2025 edition of the conference was more than a celebration — it was a recommissioning of Christian healthcare professionals to live out their faith in every clinical encounter. As CHPNet enters its fifth year, members were urged to serve not only with competence but with conviction — as stewards of hope in a hurting world.

R.I.P - ADD DEATH TO THE PLANS web

R.I.P – Add Death To The Plans

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” ~ Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV).

The only way to honour the dead is to continue living. The cemetery is full of people who thought they had more time. The morgue is full of those who planned to get right with God someday. Hell is full of people who believed they were good enough on their own.

But Heaven – glorious, eternal Heaven – is full of people who recognised their need for a Saviour and accepted God’s gift of grace while there was still time.

Death is the great equaliser, the final appointment that no one can reschedule. Scripture makes it clear – this appointment is divine, inevitable, and universal. Rich or poor, famous or forgotten, young or old – we all face the same inescapable truth. But while death itself is certain, what comes after is determined by the choices we make while we still draw breath.

THE UNIVERSAL INSCRIPTION

Walk through any cemetery, and you’ll see those three letters carved into countless headstones: R.I.P. They represent humanity’s deepest hope for the departed – that somehow, beyond the silence of the grave, there is rest. But rest comes in two forms, and the difference between them is eternal.

TWO DESTINIES, ONE CHOICE

When the final heartbeat echoes and the last breath escapes, every soul embarks on a journey to one of two destinations. The same three letters (R.I.P.) that mark our graves carry vastly different meanings depending on the life we’ve lived and the relationship we’ve cultivated with our Creator.

  • For the sons and daughters of God – those who have surrendered their lives to Christ, who have been washed clean by His sacrifice, who have walked in faith and love – death is not defeat but victory. For them, R.I.P. means exactly what our hearts hope it means: REST IN PEACE.

Their eyes close in this world only to open in paradise. Their struggles end not in emptiness but in the arms of the Almighty. Their final breath here becomes their first breath in glory eternal. Death, for them, is simply stepping from the shadowlands into the light.

  • But for those who have rejected God’s gift, who have chosen to live as their own god, who have turned away from the outstretched arms of mercy, who have said “no” to the only Name that saves, the same letters carry a terrifying weight: REST IN PUNISHMENT.

Their rest is not peace but justice. Their eternity is not joy but the consequence of a life lived in rebellion against their Creator. They rest, yes, but not in the bosom of Abraham – they rest in the place prepared for those who chose darkness over light.

THE GREAT DIVIDE

What determines which rest awaits you? It’s not your good deeds weighed against your bad ones. It’s not how many people liked you or how much money you gave to charity. It’s not whether you were religious or went to church every Sunday.

The great divide between these two eternities (R.I.P.) is crossed by one bridge alone: JESUS CHRIST

He stands at the crossroads of every human heart, extending an invitation that changes everything. “Come unto me,” He says, “all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Not the temporary rest of sleep, but the eternal rest of salvation.

Many people struggle with this truth. They ask, “What about good people who haven’t heard about Jesus? What about those raised in other religions? Surely God wouldn’t condemn sincere people who are trying their best?”

These are honest questions that deserve honest answers. The Bible tells us that God is perfectly just and perfectly loving. He judges according to the light people have received (Romans 2:12-16). But it also makes clear that Jesus declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This isn’t narrow-mindedness – it’s the narrow gate that leads to life (Matthew 7:14).

God’s love is so great that He made a way for everyone through His Son. Our responsibility is not to judge who gets saved, but to share the good news so that everyone has the opportunity to hear and believe.

THE TICKING CLOCK

Right now, as you read these words, your heart is beating. Each pulse is a gift, each moment an opportunity. The clock of your life is ticking toward that final second when time becomes eternity, when choices become consequences, when R.I.P. becomes your reality.

But here’s the beautiful, life-changing truth: it’s not too late.

As long as there’s breath in your lungs and blood in your veins, the choice is still yours. The God who created you loves you so much that He sent His only Son to die in your place, to pay the price for your sins, to make a way where there was no way.

THE INVITATION

You don’t have to guess which rest awaits you. You don’t have to hope,wonder, and worry about what those three letters (R.I.P.) will mean when they’re carved above your name. You can know – with absolute certainty – that when your time comes, you will rest in peace.

The invitation is simple: acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour. Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again. Call upon His name, surrender your life to Him, and become a child of God.

In that moment – that beautiful, life-changing moment – your eternal destiny is sealed. Death loses its sting. The grave loses its victory. And R.I.P. becomes a promise, not a question mark.

THE URGENCY OF NOW

Tomorrow is promised to no one. The young and healthy have died unexpectedly. The old and wise have passed in their sleep. The rich have taken their last breath in hospital beds that money couldn’t save them from. The poor have slipped away in places where no earthly comfort could reach them.

Death is no respecter of persons, but God is no respecter of persons either. His salvation is available to all – the broken and the whole, the lost and the found, the sinner and the saint. But it must be received while there’s still time to choose.

WRITING YOUR ETERNAL STORY

Every day you live, you’re writing the story that will determine your eternal rest. Every choice, every word, every moment of surrender or rebellion is a sentence in the book of your life that will be opened when you stand before your Creator.

But unlike the stories we read, you know how this one can end. You have the power to choose your own ending. You can ensure that when people visit your grave and see those three letters (R.I.P.), they’ll know, with absolute certainty, that you are not just resting, but resting in perfect, eternal peace.

CONCLUSION

Which rest will be yours? The choice is before you now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not when you’re older or sicker or more desperate.

The beautiful truth is that no matter what you’ve done, no matter how far you’ve strayed, no matter how many times you’ve failed, God’s arms are still open to you. His mercy is new every morning, and His grace is sufficient for every sin.

Because in the end, we all rest in peace or punishment. But only you can determine which three letters will define your eternity.

THE DEVIL UNMASKED web

The Devil Unmasked: Exposing The Enemy Of The Church

In the sacred pilgrimage of the Church Militant—God’s people actively engaged in spiritual warfare—there exists a cunning and persistent adversary: the devil. From the dawn of time, he has relentlessly sought to oppose, resist, and push back the purposes of God. His goal is not merely to distract the saints from their holy calling but to distort the image of Christ within His Church and sow seeds of destruction among God’s people.

THE NATURE OF THE DEVIL

Scripture presents the devil not as a myth or metaphor but as a real and malicious being whose strategies are as ancient as they are cunning. The Word of God defines him as:

  • A deceiver, leading the whole world astray (Revelation 12:9)
  • An accuser of the brethren, relentlessly charging the saints (Revelation 12:10)
  • A roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8)
  • A tempter, so bold as to test even the Son of God (Matthew 4:1–11)

His operations are subtle and cloaked in deception, often appearing as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). His ultimate agenda is to weaken the faith, unity, and testimony of the Church.

TACTICS OF THE ENEMY

The devil’s arsenal includes age-old strategies that remain effective when the Church is unaware or unprepared. Scripture illuminates his tactics with precision:

1. PERSECUTION

From the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:54–60) to the persecution of believers today, Satan wields persecution to silence the gospel and instill fear. Christ forewarned, “In this world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33), and Paul affirmed that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12).

2. DECEPTION AND FALSE DOCTRINE

As the father of lies (John 8:44), Satan distorts truth, often cloaking error in religious language. Paul’s sobering words echo across generations: “Even if we or an angel from heaven preach a different gospel, let them be under God’s curse!” (Galatians 1:8). The enemy thrives where discernment is absent.

3. TEMPTATION AND MORAL COMPROMISE

From Eden to the wilderness, temptation has been one of Satan’s sharpest tools. James teaches, “Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed” (James 1:14). Through moral compromise, the devil weakens the Church’s credibility and renders its witness ineffective.

4. DISUNITY AND OFFENSE

Division is among Satan’s most effective weapons. The Apostle Paul urged believers to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3), and Christ Himself prayed for oneness among His followers (John 17:21). Offense, unforgiveness, and unresolved conflict give the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:26–27), disrupting the Spirit’s work.

5. AFFLICTION AND HARDSHIP

Satan may use trials, sicknesses, or prolonged difficulties to discourage and wear out believers. Paul referred to a “thorn in the flesh” as “a messenger of Satan to torment me” (2 Corinthians 12:7). Job’s trials were instigated by Satan (Job 1–2), and Daniel prophesied that the enemy would seek “to wear out the saints of the Most High” (Daniel 7:25).

Yet affliction is not always the enemy’s work. While Satan may use suffering to sow doubt and despair, God often redeems it as a refining fire—shaping our character, strengthening our faith, and deepening our trust in His grace (Romans 5:3–5). What the enemy means for harm, God transforms for our good and His glory.

CHRIST’S INTERCESSION: OUR ETERNAL SECURITY

Despite the devil’s relentless efforts, the Church stands victorious because of Christ’s unwavering intercession. Jesus declared to Peter, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you…” (Luke 22:31–32). That same high priestly ministry continues today (Hebrews 7:25). Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father, does not merely observe—He advocates. His intercession strengthens us when our strength fails and secures victory when defeat seems near.

THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is not a passive presence but the Church’s indwelling power source and guide. He equips believers with spiritual armor to stand against the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10–18). Through Him, we discern truth, resist temptation, and operate in divine authority. The Spirit also builds unity, convicts of sin, and empowers prayer and proclamation. Where the Spirit reigns, the devil’s foothold is broken.

THE BELIEVER’S RESPONSIBILITY

Christ’s intercession and the Spirit’s empowerment do not strip believers of their responsibility in spiritual warfare. Victory is not automatic—it requires participation. The Bible exhorts believers to:

  • Resist the devil (James 4:7)
  • Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11)
  • Be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8)
  • Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
  • Stand firm in the faith (1 Corinthians 16:13)

Neglecting these disciplines leaves even Spirit-filled believers vulnerable. Victory is promised, but it is not passive—it is pursued.

OUR SURE VICTORY

The Church’s confidence rests not in its own strength, influence, or numbers but in the finished work of Christ. Christ has disarmed principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them through the cross (Colossians 2:15). Believers overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11). The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18)—not because of who we are but because of who is within us: “Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

CONCLUSION

The devil is defeated—but not idle. He fights, but our Intercessor fights harder. For those who remain prayerful, discerning, and steadfast, victory is not merely possible—it is assured. The Church’s battle is fierce, but the war has already been won.

Let us, therefore, stand firm, resist the devil, and boldly advance, knowing that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

MINISTERS’ WIVES CONFERENCE web

Ministers’ Wives Conference: My Reflections

As a minister’s wife, I pondered deeply when I first heard about the recently held Ministers’ Wives Conference organised by The Church of Pentecostat at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa, from June 10 to 13, 2025. Many questions filled my heart—how glorious it would be for all ministers’ wives to gather and encounter the presence of the Lord. I was both elated and honoured to be part of this historic event. With great anticipation, I began preparing myself, both outwardly and inwardly.

The day finally arrived. We were scheduled to report for orientation at 7 p.m. Although I had been to PCC before, this time felt different—the atmosphere was spiritually charged and ready to receive the prayers of godly women. From the moment we arrived, there was a palpable sense of divine euphoria.

The long-awaited 3-day Ministers’ Wives Conference officially began on the morning of Wednesday, June 11, 2025. The event brought together approximately 3,000 participants, including ministers’ wives, widows of deceased ministers, and wives of retired ministers from across Ghana. The conference was held under the powerful theme: “The Godly Woman Unleashed to Transform Her World.”

Opening Session

The opening session was led by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye. He warmly welcomed all attendees and prayed that we would experience the profound presence of God. He encouraged us to seek a personal encounter with the Lord and proposed a new slogan for adoption:
“Ministers’ Wives! Partnering Our Husbands; Serving the Lord.”

Highlights of Presentations

The conference featured a rich array of presentations, including:

  • “The Godly Woman Unleashed to Transform Her World” by Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary. He emphasised the importance of living a disciplined life, referencing 2 Timothy 4:7–8. He reminded us that godliness brings rewards both now and in eternity.
  • “The Pastor’s Wife and Her Marital Life” by Mrs Sheila Hayfron (Tarkwa Area Head’s Wife). She encouraged us to embrace the ministerial journey with sacrifice and submission, manage our homes with godliness, and support our husbands spiritually, emotionally, and in alignment with church policies.
  • “Fire on the Family Altar” by Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo (National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions). He passionately called for a revival of spiritual fire in our homes, referencing Leviticus 6:13. He reminded us that God desires not just the establishment of an altar, but that the fire on it be kept burning continually.
  • “The Pastor’s Wife Serving for Eternal Reward” by Apostle Dr Daniel Okyere Walker (Retired). He offered deep insights into the roles of “Osofomaame” and “Asafo Maame,” highlighting their eternal significance.
  • “The Godly Woman and Her Bible” by Mrs Paulina Kuma.
  • Other Topics Included: “Healthy Living” by Elder Nana Kofi Owusu, Mrs Ewurabena Antwi-Boasiako, and Dr Charlotte Ampong; “Supporting Your Husband’s Ministry” by Mrs Juliana Korkor Obuobi (Wife of the General Secretary) and Mrs Juanita Nuekpe (La Area Head’s Wife) and “Preparing for Transfer and Home Management” by Mrs Rose Kumi-Larbi (Ashaiman Area Head’s Wife).

Personal Reflections

I am deeply grateful to God for the privilege of participating in this landmark conference. Among the many lessons I received, here are a few that stood out:

  • As a minister’s wife, I must set aside dedicated time for daily devotions and uphold a life of holiness to keep the fire of God burning in my home.
  • I am committed to taking spiritual responsibility, ensuring that the fire of the Holy Spirit never goes out by engaging my husband and children in consistent prayer and family devotions.
  • I feel a renewed calling to empower my family and church, especially the women, to raise righteous children, uphold holiness, and face societal challenges with truth and courage.
  • I have also resolved to actively support the Children’s Ministry—not just for my own children, but to help nurture others through consistent teaching and training.
  • Above all, I have embraced the truth that godliness is the greatest asset, not only for ministers’ wives but for every believer. It brings great reward both now and in the life to come. However, it requires conscious effort, discipline, and the ability to subdue the flesh while empowering the Spirit of God within us.

FROM TOMBS TO TONGUES OF FIRE web

From Tombs To Tongues Of Fire: A Cemetery Revival Through The Lens Of Pentecost

Yesterday, The Church of Pentecost worldwide drew the curtains on a spiritually electrifying Pentecost Week, culminating in a 14-day journey of fervent fasting and prayer. Hearts were stirred, altars were rekindled, and the heavens felt unusually near. As the incense of intercession rose, it was more than a commemoration, it was a divine provocation for revival, a call for the winds of the Spirit to blow once more across dry bones and forgotten places. In this kairos moment, the Lord is whispering to His Church: “Even in the cemetery, My power still speaks.”

Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.”

2 Kings 13:21 (NIV)

A TOMB, A CORPSE, AND AN UNEXPECTED REVIVAL

In 2 Kings 13:21, Israel was at a low point. National chaos, moral decline, and the loss of prophetic leadership had left the land spiritually dry. It was into this backdrop that an unnamed dead man was hastily thrown into Elisha’s tomb. The moment his body made contact with Elisha’s bones, he revived and stood on his feet.

This is no mere historical oddity. It is a prophetic mirror. Elisha’s bones represent the lingering anointing, the residue of revival, and the unchanging potency of the Spirit of God. And that dead man? He represents any life, church, or generation that seems buried beneath failure, fear, and forgotten dreams until they come into contact with the true power of God.

PENTECOST: FIRE IN THE GRAVEYARD

The early church in Acts 2 was also in a kind of cemetery, locked behind closed doors, hiding in fear, waiting in uncertainty. But then came the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Tongues of fire descended, and ordinary men and women were ignited with extraordinary boldness. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11) filled frail vessels and birthed a global movement.

The message? Wherever the Spirit moves, cemeteries become birthing rooms.

When the church today connects with the authentic anointing of the Holy Spirit, even the “buried” things: callings, churches, destinies etc. can rise again.

This Pentecost, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is not limited by environment. He moves in broken homes, lukewarm churches, secular universities, and decaying communities. He turns tombs into temples and silence into songs. Just like the man who revived in Elisha’s tomb, when the Church encounters genuine Pentecostal fire, what was dead gets up again.

REVIVAL OFTEN COMES IN CRISIS

The miracle happened in the midst of a crisis—raiders were approaching. It was chaos that led to the dead man being thrown into Elisha’s tomb. Many of the greatest revivals in history have come in times of national decline, spiritual coldness, or deep adversity. Today’s global moral crisis,  and societal decay may seem like raiders but they can become the backdrop for God’s greatest move.

GOD SPECIALIZES IN HOPELESS SITUATIONS

Cemeteries symbolize finality, silence, and hopelessness. But God often chooses these very places to display His resurrection power. The revival we seek is not just for the enthusiastic or spiritually vibrant; it is for the spiritually “dead”, the discouraged, and the backslidden. The Pentecost Week fast was a prophetic act declaring that the Spirit of God is ready to raise what we thought was beyond saving.

THE INGREDIENTS OF A CEMETERY REVIVAL

    1.  Residual Anointing – The Spirit of God doesn’t expire. Elisha was dead, but the anointing lived on. The legacies of prayer, holiness, and truth still carry power. Let’s not despise the “old bones” of sound doctrine, deep intercession, and obedience to God.

    2.  Divine Interruption – The miracle wasn’t planned. Raiders came, fear struck, and the burial was rushed. Yet in that chaos, God moved. Revival often comes in messy, unpredictable moments.

    3.  Contact with the Sacred – The miracle only happened when the dead man touched Elisha’s bones. This generation doesn’t just need sermons, they need an encounter with the living God.

    4.  Resurrection unto Purpose – The man didn’t just breathe, he stood up. True revival doesn’t end at restoration; it leads to recommissioning. God revives us to rise and run with purpose.

FROM DRY BONES TO DANCING FLAMES

Ezekiel saw a valley full of dry bones, and at the command of the Spirit, they lived and became a vast army (Ezekiel 37). That vision is alive today. Your marriage, ministry, local assembly, or personal walk may feel like a spiritual graveyard—but hear the word of the Lord: “I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live!” (Ezekiel 37:14).

The Church of Pentecost’s Pentecost Week may have ended, but the Pentecostal experience must continue. We are carriers of fire. We are agents of resurrection. We are called to step into spiritual cemeteries with tongues of fire and declare, “Live again!”

CONCLUSION: A NEW WIND IN THE GRAVEYARD

God is not intimidated by tombs. He doesn’t avoid dead places. He transforms them. Just as He raised Lazarus with a word and ignited the early church with fire, so is He calling the Church today to release resurrection power into every dry, dark, and desolate place.

From tombs to tongues of fire—this is the rhythm of true revival. May we rise from this Pentecost season with burning hearts and bold voices, ready to awaken the graveyards around us.
