Christ Is God’s Ultimate Answer To A Dark World – Apostle Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reaffirmed that Jesus Christ remains God’s ultimate solution to the darkness confronting the world. He made this declaration while continuing his Christmas Convention activities at the Dwenho District in the Agona Swedru Area.

Preaching on the theme “Great Light for People in Darkness,” Apostle Obuobi explained that the world has been plunged into darkness through sin, Satan’s influence, spiritual blindness, and death, all of which began after the fall of man. He cited Isaiah 9:2 to emphasise that the birth of Christ ushered divine light into a world walking in despair.

According to him, Jesus did not only proclaim Himself as the Light of the world but demonstrated it through His life, ministry, and acts of compassion, including healing those oppressed by the devil. He referenced biblical accounts such as the demon-possessed man of Gadara to illustrate Christ’s power to liberate humanity from absolute darkness.

Apostle Obuobi noted that through the Gospel, believers receive the life of Christ, which becomes light within them. He stressed that accepting Jesus brings transformation, direction, and victory over darkness, urging all to embrace Christ as the source of true life and hope.

Christ The Born Saviour: Apostle Kumi-Larbi Proclaims Redemption At Katamansu District

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Ashaiman Area Head and Executive Council Member of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle ANY Kumi-Larbi, visited the Katamansu District on December 26 as part of his 2025 Christmas Convention activities in the Ashaiman Area.

He delivered a Christ-centred sermon on the theme “Jesus Christ, My Saviour and Lord Is Born,” grounding his message in Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:6, and John 1:10–14. Apostle Kumi-Larbi affirmed the incarnation as God’s decisive intervention in human history, explaining that the birth of Jesus Christ reveals God’s love and redemptive purpose for a world burdened by sin and spiritual brokenness.

Drawing insight from Acts 2:36, he stressed that Jesus is both Lord and Saviour, noting that sin and its consequences remain humanity’s greatest challenge. He explained that God, in His mercy, sent Jesus Christ to rescue mankind from the grip and penalty of sin, urging the congregation to reflect on who truly governs their lives. He defined a saviour as one who delivers others from distress, highlighting humanity’s helplessness without divine intervention.

The preacher revisited humanity’s original state before the Fall, explaining that Adam was created in the image of God, enjoyed fellowship with Him, and exercised dominion over creation, as reflected in Genesis 1:26–27 and Luke 3:38. This privileged position, he said, was lost through sin, resulting in separation from God, confusion, and calamity, as recorded in Genesis chapters 3 to 6. Sin stripped humanity of its glory and authority, but restoration becomes possible when God’s image and character are renewed through Christ.

Referencing 1 Corinthians 15:22, Apostle Kumi-Larbi emphasised that life and restoration come through Jesus Christ. He assured believers that no weapon, spirit, or circumstance can prevail against them when Christ is present, citing scriptures including Ephesians 2:1–3, Romans 3:23, Matthew 1:20–21, and Colossians 1:13–14 to affirm deliverance, forgiveness, and new life in Christ.

The service was graced by the presence of Mrs. Rose Kumi-Larbi (wife of Apostle Kumi-Larbi); Pastor Sampson Nkrumah (Katamansu District Pastor) and his wife, Mavis Nkrumah; and Pastor Douglas Owusu Addy (Retd), whose attendance added warmth to the gathering.

Only Christ Can Save Humanity — Apostle Obuobi Declares

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reaffirmed the exclusive role of Jesus Christ as the only source of salvation for humanity, urging Christians to anchor their faith firmly in Christ, especially during the Christmas season.

Speaking at the Osu Central Assembly during a service that marked the beginning of his 2025 Christmas Convention activities, Apostle Obuobi preached on the theme “Born a Saviour.” He explained that while many people seek redemption through human efforts, moral achievements or alternative spiritual paths, the Bible clearly teaches that salvation cannot be attained through any other means apart from Jesus Christ.

Quoting scriptures including Psalm 49:7–8 and Acts 4:12, Apostle Obuobi noted that no human being has the capacity to redeem another because the cost of salvation is beyond human ability. According to him, God’s decision to send His Son was the only solution to humanity’s sinful condition.

He further explained that Jesus Christ is uniquely qualified to save because of His deity and virgin birth, describing Him as God incarnate who came from above to redeem mankind. The General Secretary emphasised that Christmas is not merely a festive celebration, but a divine reminder of God’s sacrificial love expressed through the birth of His Son.

Apostle Obuobi challenged believers to move beyond routine celebrations and renew their personal commitment to Christ, stressing that true salvation results in transformed lives marked by obedience, humility and love for others.

Chairman Joins Yendi Area For 2025 Christmas Convention

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has joined the Yendi Area for its 2025 Christmas Convention, which is being held across several Districts and Zones within the Area.

The visit began on Thursday, December 25, 2025, at the Saboba District, where the Chairman commenced a tour that will take him to five other zones, namely Zabzugu, Tatale, Makayile, Bimbila, and Yendi. The convention will climax with a grand Area joint service in the heart of Yendi on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

Speaking at the Saboba Central and English Assembly on the topic “The Importance of the Virgin Birth,” Apostle Nyamekye stated that the Christian faith is firmly anchored on two foundational truths.

“The Christian belief rests on the birth of Christ and His resurrection,” he explained. “The celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ is what we call Christmas, while His death and resurrection form the basis of Easter. These two events distinguish Christianity from all other religions.”

Describing the virgin birth as both profound and true, the Chairman encouraged believers to use the Christmas season to exalt the name of the Lord.

“The story of the virgin birth is amazing and true,” he said. “At Christmas, let us lift up the name of the Lord, and at Easter, let us boldly proclaim that Jesus died and was resurrected for our sake.”

Addressing debates surrounding the exact date of Christ’s birth, Apostle Nyamekye dismissed the argument that Christmas should not be celebrated because Jesus was not born on December 25.

“Not knowing the exact date of Jesus Christ’s birth should not prevent us from celebrating it,” he stressed. “His birth gives glory to God and gives us joy because it assures us that Christ truly came for our salvation.”

He further noted that despite humanity’s diverse backgrounds and moral standards, all people share a common need for salvation.

“We may belong to different religions, races, and moral systems, but the truth remains that humanity is fallen and corrupt by nature,” he stated. “That is why the coming of Christ is so significant.”

Present at the service were Mrs Mary Nyamekye, wife of the Chairman; the Yendi Area Head, Apostle James Magyam, and his wife, Cecilia; pastors serving in the Saboba Zone of the Yendi Area; as well as ministerial students from Pentecost University who are on internal mission placement.

PIWC Trasacco Church Building, Mission House Dedicated

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has dedicated the state-of-the-art auditorium of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) Trasacco, together with the mission house, which were donated to the church by Elder Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong (Group Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies) and his wife, Deaconess Dr Adelaide Siaw Agyepong.

Delivering an inspiring sermon at the dedication service, Apostle Dr Nyamekye anchored his message on 1 Chronicles 22:5, 19; 2 Chronicles 5:1–2, 13–14; and 2 Chronicles 6:18–21.

He indicated that as generations come and go, believers must pay careful attention to the truth that the Church is not a company or an organization, but a spiritual building. According to him, the power of the Holy Spirit is given to believers for the purpose of building the Church of God, not merely for personal benefit.

Chairman Nyamekye stressed that the gathering of people alone does not constitute a church; rather, it is the presence and glory of God that defines the true church. He reiterated that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to build God’s church, where His presence dwells.

He explained that the Old Testament temple was meant to house two important things. The first was the Ark of the Covenant, which represented the presence of God among His people and was central to worship in the Old Testament. He noted that the Church exists to serve God alone and not any individual.

The second was the sacred articles belonging to God, which were dedicated utensils used in the sanctuary. Drawing a parallel to the New Testament, he explained that there is nothing holy before God apart from the new creation in Christ. He added that the Ark of the Covenant and the sacred articles were to be placed together without conflict, signifying that the manifest presence of God among His people depends on a sanctified life.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye highlighted two key things King Solomon prayed for at the dedication of the temple: the glory of God and the presence of God to fill the house of the Lord. He explained that although King Solomon prayed for God’s eyes and ears to be attentive to the temple, God’s response was conditional. Citing 2 Chronicles 7:12–22 and verse 15, he said God promised to hear the prayers of His people if they would humble themselves, hear His word, and obey Him.

He noted that when the glory of God fills the church, the personalities of ministers become secondary. He warned that a church can have many members, but without the glory of God, it becomes mere entertainment.

He further stated that unholy living drives away God’s glory, stressing that the presence and glory of God in the temple depend on the spiritual condition of the people. Believers, he said, must carefully watch their lives if they desire God’s presence and glory to rest upon them.

Calling for a transformation in the way church is practiced, Apostle Dr Nyamekye said that when God is pleased to dwell in His temple, burdens are lifted. He added that God goes with His people and comes with them when they are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.

He quoted theologian Jonathan Edwards, saying, “A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.”

The dedication service marked a significant milestone for PIWC Trasacco, reaffirming the church’s commitment to holiness, obedience, and the pursuit of God’s manifest presence.
