Apostle Obuobi Urges Christians To Seek Eternal Rewards

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has urged Christians to seek eternal rewards for their service in Christ.

He made the call on Sunday, February 9, 2025, when he fellowshipped at the Mamprobi Central and English assemblies.

Speaking on the theme, ‘Eternal or Earthly Rewards,’ he urged Christians to prioritise holiness and service to God in order to attain lasting, heavenly rewards.

Drawing from Ephesians 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 4:7, Apostle Obuobi explained that believers are called to a life of holiness, which should be evident in their actions, speech, and thoughts.

He highlighted the significance of good character, sound decisions, generosity, and sacrifice, noting that God rewards every action, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

‘God is watching everything in your life. You will be rewarded for all you have done and will do in obedience to Jesus while on this earth,’ he said.

The chief scribe further explored the distinction between earthly and eternal rewards. According to him, earthly rewards, which can be described as temporal, transient, material, and subject to decay, were contrasted with eternal rewards, which extend beyond this life into eternity and are lasting and enduring.

He stressed that while earthly blessings are appreciated, believers should focus on accumulating eternal rewards through faithfulness, obedience, and service to God.

Referencing Revelations 22:12, Apostle Obuobi reminded the congregation that Jesus is coming soon, bringing rewards with Him to repay each person according to their deeds. He encouraged the church to work heartily for the Lord, knowing that they will receive an inheritance as their reward.

The General Secretary also touched on the sacrifices made for the gospel, assuring the church that those who sacrifice for the gospel will receive rewards, both in the present age and in the age to come.

HUM ASSEMBLY INAUGURATION web

HUM Assembly Inaugurated at Air Force Worship Centre In Takoradi

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost has inaugurated a new Home and Urban Mission (HUM) assembly at the Air Force Worship Centre, making it the second service after the English service.

The inauguration, held on Sunday, January 19, 2025, was overseen by Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, the HUM National Coordinator. He was supported by Pastor Kwaku Kwantwi Asiedu, the HUM Pastor for Takoradi Sector, and Pastor Captain Eric Antwi, the Resident Minister for the Air Force Worship Centre.

The HUM assembly began its journey in 2023 as a mobile church initiated by the Takoradi Sector in collaboration with the Air Force Worship Centre. Services were initially held under a canopy every Sunday at Kokompe Sawdust Park, Takoradi.

During the rainy season last year, the assembly  was relocated to an old ‘chop bar,’ but was later moved when the bar owner decided to revive the business. In November 2024, the HUM service found a new home in the Children’s auditorium of the Air Force Worship Centre, holding fellowship after the Children’s Ministry meetings.

The assembly, which started with seven adults and nine children from Kokompe and three adults and a child from the Accra Station HUM cell, has grown to 79 members, comprising 29 adults and 50 children.

During the inauguration, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo urged the new leadership to diligently shepherd the congregation, safeguard church assets, and ensure growth across all sectors in line with the Vision 2028 agenda.

The HUM assembly will now serve as the Akan assembly of the Air Force Worship Centre, holding services after the English service every Sunday.

Pastor Captain Eric Antwi expressed his gratitude to God and all attendees for the successful inauguration. The ceremony was graced by Mrs Agartha Agyei Kwafo, wife of the HUM Coordinator; Mrs Sarah Kwayakie Asiedu, wife of the HUM Pastor; Mrs Lydia Yaa Antwi, wife of the Resident Minister; along with HUM Nation Possessors NEC members, District Executive Committee members, and the Presbytery of the Air Force Worship Centre.

SOM Conducts Free Medical Screening For School Children In Ho

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesYouth Ministry

The Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM) of The Church of Pentecost on Friday, February 7, 2025, conducted a free medical screening for students in Ho Kpodzi EP Basic ‘B’ and Mawuli EP Basic schools.

The screening was led by the Schools Outreach Ministry Medical Team with support from Raphal Medical Centre in Tema, and students of Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) – UHAS in Ho.

Giving a short exhortation at the exercise, the National Coordinator of SOM, Pastor Frank Mensah Tandoh, highlighted the importance of nurturing a ‘Daniel Generation’ among today’s youth.

Drawing from Daniel 1:8, he explained how Daniel, in his youth, resolved not to partake in practices that did not honour God. This firm decision paved the way for divine assistance, enabling Daniel to achieve his aspirations.

Pastor Tandoh urged young people to commit to living pure and holy lives, consciously avoiding actions that do not glorify God. He acknowledged that while it is natural for teenagers to feel attracted to the opposite sex, Christians should recognise that such feelings do not necessitate acting upon them.

He stated that “love is deeper than emotions” and encouraged the youth to emulate Daniel’s example by making deliberate choices that honour their faith.

Biscuits and other goodies were shared to the students after the exercise.

Present were Apostle Dr Dela Quampah (Executive Council Member / Ho Area Head), Dr Mrs Salomey Mensah Tandoh (wife of the SOM National Coordinator); Pastor Vitalis Banaangmwine (PENSA Traveling Secretary, Lower Volta); Elder James Agbo (Ho Area SOM Coordinator) and some officials from the Ghana Health Service in the Municipality.

According to Pastor Asuo, the project serves not only as an expression of Christian love and charity but also as a practical demonstration of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of children in need.

Let Christ Be Seen In Your Conduct – Prophet Tetteh Doku Charges Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, the New Tafo Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has urged Christians, especially church leaders, to make Christ known in the world by living lives that glorify God.

He shared this message on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, during the opening of the New Tafo Area Officers’ Retreat at the M. K. Yeboah Memorial Temple, Krofrom, in the New Tafo Zone. The event is being held under the theme, “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,” inspired by Ephesians 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 4:7, and Galatians 1:24.

Addressing the topic, “Rationale For Theme 2025,” Prophet Tetteh Doku explained that the theme aligns with the Church’s Vision 2028, which seeks to empower members to transform their spheres with the Kingdom’s values and principles.

He emphasised that Christians are privileged to be called by God, noting that God calls for a purpose — to lead a life worthy of the calling received, thereby effecting a positive change in this corrupt world.

“When God calls you, you must live a life that corresponds to the call,” he stated.

The New Tafo Area Head stressed that Christians are God’s special possessions, tasked with revealing the beauty of Christ to the world through their lifestyles.

Living a life worthy of one’s calling, Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku explained, involves not only abstaining from negative vices but also embodying virtues such as love, humility, holiness, and peace. This, he said, will inspire others to praise God.

He reminded the participants of their identity as the light of the world, urging them to dispel the darkness that has engulfed the world. He highlighted the significance of Christians representing Christ in their respective professions as they live out their calling.

The Officers’ Retreat, concluding on Friday, February 7, 2025, is being held in five zonal centres within the Area: New Tafo, Sepe, Mile 3, Kenyase, and Bonwire.

Humility Is Living Modest Life – Apostle Kwafo Discloses

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The National Coordinator for the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, has stressed the significance of humility in the lives of Christians.

He has, therefore, urged believers to practice humility in every aspect of their daily lives, emphasising that it should be evident in their actions, attitudes, and interactions with others.

In an interview with J. B. Dankwa on Pent TV, Apostle Kwafo delved into the true essence of humility. He clarified that humility does not mean agreeing with everything or submitting to everyone without discernment. Instead, true humility involves having a realistic understanding of oneself and not presenting an image that exceeds one’s actual status or abilities. It is about acknowledging one’s strengths and weaknesses while maintaining respect, self-awareness, and authenticity.

The HUM Coordinator dispelled misconceptions about humility, encouraging Christians to stay grounded and genuine in their interactions, while also standing firm in their faith and principles.

Agyemang Family Donates Church Building To Asofan English Assembly web

Agyemang Family Donates Church Building To Asofan English Assembly

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Mr William Agyemang and his wife, Deaconess Mrs Mary Agyemang, have singlehandedly constructed and donated a fully-furnished church building to the Asofan English Assembly in the Achimota Area of The Church of Pentecost.

The new church building was dedicated on Friday,  January 31, 2025, by the General Secretary of the Church, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, with support from the Achimota Area Head, Apostle Joseph Danzerl.

The Agyemang family went beyond the construction of the church building by furnishing it with 200 customised chairs, a lectern, and musical instruments, ensuring the assembly is well-prepared for worship services.

During the dedication service, Apostle Obuobi delivered a sermon on the theme, ‘House of Prayer,’ highlighting the importance of maintaining prayer as the foundation of the church.

He referenced Matthew 21:12-13 to highlight Jesus’ intent for the temple to be a place of prayer for all nations, not a commercial centre.

‘The house of God is not a place for entertainment or business; it is supposed to be a house of prayer,’ Apostle Obuobi stated.

He added: ‘The very nature and character of the church should reflect prayer. At all times, the house of God should be prayerful.’

Apostle Obuobi also spoke on the transformative power of prayer, citing Acts 4:33: ‘In prayer, we receive great grace and great power. Grace, in this context, is the enabling power of God that comes upon the believer, enabling them to do what they ordinarily cannot do.’

He urged Christians to incorporate prayer into all aspects of their lives, including marriage, studies, health, and ministry.

‘If we want to see great grace and power at work, we must remain prayerful,’ he concluded.

The Asofan English Assembly is one of six local assemblies within the Asofan District of The Church of Pentecost. The district was established in 2019 after being carved out of the Ofankor District.

The dedication service was graced by several dignitaries, including Apostle Bright Nyamedor (Director, Ghana Evangelism Committee/Resident Minister, Petroleum Worship Centre), ministers from the area, and traditional rulers.
