The greatest and most enduring legacy believers can pass on to future generations is the gospel of Jesus Christ, according to Pastor Frederick Tetteh of the The Church of Pentecost. He made this assertion during the Sogakope District Gospel Sunday Celebration held on February 22, 2026, at the Sogakope District English Assembly Auditorium.

Preaching on the theme, “The Power of the Gospel in Transforming Lives and Society,” Pastor Tetteh grounded his message on several scripture passages, including Romans 1:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Titus 2:3–5. He explained that the life and ministry of Jesus Christ—from His birth through His earthly ministry, death and resurrection—constitute the gospel message, a divine power capable of transforming both individuals and society.

Using a practical analogy, Pastor Tetteh described the gospel as humanity’s ultimate operational manual. He noted that just as machines require manuals to function effectively and be repaired when necessary, human life is best guided by the principles of the gospel. He stressed that the message of Christ remains effective because it is empowered by God Himself.

The District Pastor encouraged members to remain committed to evangelistic work, stating that the gospel is the only spiritual instrument with the power to break chains, deliver the oppressed and bring lasting transformation to society. He affirmed that God continues to confirm the preaching of the gospel through signs and wonders accompanying faithful proclamation.

Referencing Acts 9:1, he warned believers to remain spiritually alert, explaining that the enemy constantly seeks opportunities to oppose the work of God. He therefore urged members to adopt strategic and persistent approaches in sharing the gospel. Drawing lessons from Galatians 1:23–24 and Luke 19:1–10, he highlighted the transforming power of a genuine encounter with Christ, citing the lives of Zacchaeus and Apostle Paul as examples.

Concluding his message, Pastor Tetteh charged members to uphold integrity in their Christian witness and to live consistently with the message they proclaim. He cautioned against hypocrisy, urging believers to ensure that their words and actions reflect the truth of the gospel as they seek to influence the world for Christ.

In line with the 2026 theme of The Church of Pentecost, “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit,” the Sefwi Wiawso Area Head, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, together with his wife, Mrs. Winnifred Davidson, on February 27, 2026, paid a courtesy call on the Divisional Chief of Akontombra, Nana Kwabena Ebie II.

The visit, which took place at the Akontombra Palace, formed part of activities marking the 72-Hour Kohinta Healing and Revival Service held in the Akontombra Zone. The Area Head was accompanied by Pastor Collins Sunday (District Pastor, Akontombra District), Overseer Prince Ofori (District Minister, Essase District), Probationary Overseer Samuel Nkansa Appiah (Secretary to the Area Ministry to the Chieftaincy Committee and District Minister, Aburonehia District), and a delegation of elders.

Welcoming the delegation, Nana Kwabena Ebie II expressed heartfelt appreciation for the honour done him and his traditional council. He noted that chieftaincy institutions are sometimes misunderstood and distanced from Christian worship due to misconceptions associated with traditional authority. He, however, openly affirmed his membership of the Church and expressed pride in the recognition the Church accords the chieftaincy institution through targeted programmes and engagements.

The Chief emphasised that kingship continues to play a vital role in God’s divine agenda, referencing biblical examples where kings and priests were instrumental in advancing God’s purposes. He commended the Church for its strategic and intentional collaboration with traditional authorities toward societal transformation.

Responding, Apostle Davidson thanked the Chief and his elders for the warm reception and reiterated that the Church recognises the indispensable role of traditional leaders in advancing God’s Kingdom on earth. He stressed that God desires to use royals as agents of transformation within their communities. Sharing a testimony from a previous station, he recounted how intentional ministry to a palace led to the conversion of a chief, resulting in spiritual renewal and positive socio-economic impact in the community.

The visit concluded with prayer for the Chief and his elders, reaffirming the Church’s commitment to deepening engagement with the chieftaincy institution for holistic transformation.

Residents of Ashaiman witnessed a remarkable move of God during the recent “Ashaiman for Christ” Crusade organised by The Church of Pentecost, Ashaiman Area. Held at Lazio Park, Zenu, under the theme, “Jesus Came to Seek and To Save the Lost” (Matthew 9:11–13; Luke 19:10), the four-day outreach left an indelible mark on the community.

Ashaiman, known for its vibrant markets and resilient people, experienced what many described as a fresh wave of revival. From the opening night, expectations were high as both church members and non-members gathered, some out of curiosity and others carrying deep personal burdens. What unfolded went beyond a routine evangelistic programme; it became a moment of genuine spiritual encounter.

Worship sessions were marked by heartfelt expressions of devotion, while prayer moments carried a solemn intensity. The preaching focused on the redemptive mission of Christ, presenting the gospel as a message of hope, forgiveness and transformation. As the altar call was made, many responded willingly, stepping forward to surrender their lives to Christ. Backsliders renewed their commitment, and several first-time converts publicly declared their faith.

The impact of the crusade was evident not only in visible responses but also in the atmosphere of conviction and humility that prevailed. Testimonies of healing, deliverance and restoration affirmed the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit. Lives were touched, burdens were lifted, and hope was rekindled.

As the programme concluded, a renewed sense of purpose lingered among participants. Beyond the large gatherings, the true impact continues in homes and personal spaces where new believers are growing in faith. The crusade served as a timely reminder that God’s Spirit is still at work, drawing souls to Christ and transforming communities through the power of the gospel.

The La Area Head and Executive Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, has emphasised that the forebears of the Church, including Apostle James McKeown, Apostle Agyir Paintsil, Apostle Frederick Stephen Sarfo, Apostle Martinson Kwadwo Yeboah, and Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, among others, demonstrated exceptional sacrificial giving that greatly contributed to the Church’s growth and impact.

He made this remark during the climax of the Area Officers’ Retreat I, held on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC – French).

Delivering a presentation titled “Transforming the World Through Sacrificial Giving,” with scriptural references from Hebrews 11:7–9 and Genesis 3:5, Apostle Dr Nuekpe explained that biblical figures such as Noah, Abraham, and Moses offered themselves and their resources in obedience to God, thereby advancing His purposes.

Referencing Acts 4:32–37, he stated that God expects believers to willingly offer their possessions in support of His work. He noted that all of God’s creation, including the air, sun, moon, stars, trees, birds, and fish, gives continually for the sustenance and progress of humanity. “All that you are and have belongs to God,” he stressed.

Apostle Dr Nuekpe stated that the Church thrives primarily through the tithes, offerings, and sacrificial giving of its members, emphasizing that these practices remain essential to the Church’s Possessing the Nations agenda. Jesus Christ, he added, set the highest example by giving Himself sacrificially for humanity.

Drawing from Luke 21:1–4, he highlighted Jesus’ commendation of the widow who gave all she had. He also cited the example of King David, who desired to build a temple for God, and the Macedonian believers who, despite their scarcity, gave generously to support God’s work.

He further narrated the story of a young man from the pagan town of Baal Shalishah who brought his gift to support Prophet Elisha during a famine, underscoring the lesson: “Learn to give both in season and out of season.”

Apostle Dr Nuekpe cautioned members against internet teachings that condemn tithing, urging them to uphold the biblical truth that the tithe is holy to God. He explained the various forms of tithes observed in Scripture, the Levitical tithe given to priests, the priestly tithe offered by priests themselves, and the charity tithe given every three years to support the needy.

He encouraged members to remain faithful in tithing in order to attract divine blessings and eternal rewards.

In his concluding remarks, he noted that tithing and sacrificial giving are not merely commands but privileges, God’s ordained channels for blessing His children.

In attendance were Mrs Juanita Nuekpe, District Pastor Daniel Nana Sei Mensah, and his wife.
