The Media Ministry Pastor of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Dr. Felix Dela Klutse, has said that although the world is full of wickedness, true believers are untouchable because they are assured of God’s enduring protection.

Pastor Dr. Felix Klutse made this assertion yesterday while preaching on the topic “Jesus: The Only Hope In This Wicked Generation” at the Easter Convention of the Topbase Zone in the Odorkor Area of the Church.

Using Acts 2:36 and Luke 8:45-47 as scripture references, he explained that the world is filled with wickedness, and people continue to exhibit great wickedness towards others. Despite this, Christians will continue to enjoy the protection of the Almighty God.

He stated that every Christian saved through the blood of Jesus Christ has power over the devil and his cohorts and therefore remains untouchable.

According to him, some people might try to cause harm to the believer without any cause, but their efforts shall be thwarted because no weapon fashioned against God’s people will succeed.

He emphasised that as long as one remains in Christ, their life is secured and safe from any untimely death, stressing that: “Jesus is the vitamins of your life so you will enjoy long life.”

He further explained that Christians are untouchable because they have Christ residing in them, thus carrying the trifold anointing of Christ as Prophet, High Priest, and King.

“As a prophet, you do not need any seer to prophesy into your life; you can make your own prophetic declaration over your life. As a High Priest, you do not need to go through anyone to access God; rather, you intercede on behalf of others, and as a King, you must rule over your domain and wherever you go,” he charged.

Pastor Dr. Felix Klutse stressed that it is time for Christians to fearlessly confront the ills of the corrupt generation through the demonstration of the power of God, saying: “It is time for our God to be feared again.”

He, therefore, urged Christians to be bold and demonstrate God’s power wherever they go so that the world will know that they serve the Almighty God and cause them to put their trust in Him.

He also advised persons who are yet to accept Christ as Lord and personal Saviour to do so because He remains the only hope in this perverse and crooked generation.

Apostle Samuel Edzii-Davidson, the Offinso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has advised Christians to live and present their bodies as a living sacrifice to God, especially as they commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Apostle Samuel Edzii-Davidson made this passionate appeal during the 2024 Easter Convention at Boamang District, Offinso Area, on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

Speaking on the topic, “Understanding the Finished Work by Jesus on the Cross,” Apostle Samuel Edzii-Davidson highlighted some significance of the death and resurrection of Christ.

He said the greatest blessing of Christ on earth is the finished work He did on the cross.

“On the cross, there was a crossover for humanity. So, whoever believes in Christ crosses over from sin to righteousness, eternal death to eternal life, eternal destruction to eternal salvation, eternal sorrow to eternal joy, eternal burden to eternal peace,” he said.

Taking his Bible references from John 19:30 and Isaiah 53:4&5, he revealed that one is able to cross over because Jesus has taken the sins of humanity away and has imputed His righteousness in them; adding that: “This was the divine exchange that brought mankind from darkness to light and eternal life.”

Explaining this Good News, the Offinso Area Head used the law of jeopardy to demonstrate how believers were saved from their sins.

“The law of double jeopardy states that one is not punished twice for the same crime. Therefore, as Jesus has been punished for our sins, we will not be punished for the same sin. However, it is our responsibility to eschew further offenses and sins and live a life that will please him in order to appreciate and reciprocate the love shown to us,” he said.

According to him, it is the responsibility of every human being to believe and surrender their life to Jesus, live for Him, and work for Him.

“It is our responsibility as Christians to believe in Christ and surrender ourselves to Him as our Lord and personal Savior. This is not done by lip service but by a deliberate attempt to live a Christ-like life,” he said.

The event also had in attendance Mrs. Winnifred Edzii-Davidson (Wife of the Offinso Area Head), Overseer Alex Nana Owusu Nkrumah (Boamang District Minister), his wife, Mrs. Lydia Owusu Nkrumah, as well as all District Executive Committee members, officers, and the entire congregants.

To the glory of God, 33 people received instant healing from various ailments during the service.

Prophet Fred Antwi, the Duayaw Nkwanta Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has asserted that the death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary was to redeem humankind from the bondage of sin.

He said this in a sermon he delivered during the opening day of the Area’s 2024 Easter Convention at the Methodist School Park in Duayaw Nkwanta in the Ahafo Region of Ghana. His message centered on the theme: “It Is Finished.”

Drawing from John 19:30, which captures the last words of Jesus on the cross, Prophet Fred Antwi emphasised the significance of this declaration.

“When someone says they have finished, it implies the completion of an assigned task. In the case of Jesus Christ, uttering these words signified the fulfillment of His purpose on earth,” he explained.

According to him, despite being only 33 years old, Jesus defied conventional expectations, saying; “His declaration of completion did not come with old age or natural death; instead, He was unjustly killed. The cross, where many saw Him as a sinful figure deserving of death, became the stage for His ultimate sacrifice.”

Prophet Antwi, however, revealed that over the course of three years, Jesus accomplished His mission.

“His purpose extended beyond performing miracles or teaching; it was to bring salvation. The prophecies of Prophet Isaiah foretold His suffering and death, underscoring the divine plan”, he said.

Referencing a quote of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost in his most recent Circular to the Assemblies, the Duayaw Area Head noted that Easter serves as the foundation of Christianity.

 “Jesus’ declaration of completion—“It is finished”—holds reflective meaning. It signifies His sacrificial death to save humanity from sin. Even if God had granted Him a longer life on earth, His destiny remained unchanged: to die and redeem mankind”, he noted.

According to him, the cross, where Jesus breathed His last, became the bridge between humanity and God’s love.

“Accepting Christ as Lord and personal Saviour unlocks a special package—a gift filled with love and abundant life,” he said.

The Duayaw Nkwanta Area Easter Convention began yesterday, March 29, 2024 and is expected to end on Sunday, March 31, 2024.

Present at the Easter Convention were the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, together with his wife, Mrs. Mary Nyamekye, a cross-section of the Area pastorate and their wives and the entire church populace.

PENTECOST NEWS.

The Yennyawoso District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Maxwell Adubofourh Asiedu, has stated that the resurrection power is not just an abstract concept, but a living presence within believers, personified in Christ Jesus.

In a message shared with the congregation at the ongoing New Tafo Zone Easter Convention at the New Tafo M/A Division School Park on Thursday, March 28, 2024, Pastor Adubofourh Asiedu spoke on the topic: “Experiencing the Pentecostal Power Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

The convention is being held under the theme: “Jesus Christ, The Resurrection and Life,” – John 11:25.

Focusing on John 11:25, Romans 8:11 and Acts 2:36 as his main biblical references, the Yennyawoso District Minister highlighted the significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection, emphasising the immense power that believers inherit through their faith in Him. He encouraged the congregants to recognise and utilize this power, reminding them that they have the ability to bring life to dead situations through their faith in Christ.

“When you speak life into a dead situation it must live again because of the resurrection power that is in you,” he said.

Drawing from Ephesians 1:17-20 and Philippians 3:9-10, the clergyman noted that the resurrection power is an active manifestation of the move of the Holy Spirit. He explained that Christians have access to this power through their belief in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:16-17), their unity with God (John 10:30), and their role as good servants of God (Matthew 25:14ff).

He stressed the importance of obedience, fulfilling the Great Commission, and maintaining a humble and servile attitude to nurture and activate the resurrection power within them, cautioning against self-gratification and self-glorification, as these could hinder the operation of the resurrection power.

Emphasising the enduring and transformative nature of the resurrection power, Pastor Adubofourh Asiedu called on non-believers to come to Jesus and experience this power for themselves.

The event concluded with a prayer, during which 10 individuals received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and several others received spiritual gifts.
