Apostle Appiah Urges Believers to Hold Fast to Jesus, the Way to Eternal Life

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

Speaking at the ongoing ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade on the theme, ‘Jesus Christ, The Only Way to Eternal Life’ (John 14:6), Apostle Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah, Director of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged believers never to give up, regardless of their situation in life, because God remains in control.

Drawing his main text from John 14:5-6, Apostle Appiah emphasised that Jesus Christ is the only true way to salvation.

He explained that every other path leads to loss and destruction, but those who walk with Christ find eternal life.

‘No one can give you life except Jesus Christ. You may take other roads and get lost, but if you go through Jesus Christ, you will have eternal life,’ he stressed.

Referencing passages such as John 10:15, Luke 5, and Mark 5, Apostle Appiah further noted that faith in Christ gives believers the assurance and testimony of eternal life.

He urged the congregation to remain steadfast in their walk with the Lord, adding, ‘Jesus is the way; no more wandering. In Him alone is life.’

The ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade officially began on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 and is expected to end on Saturday, August 30, 2025 with a medical screening exercise.

Afram Plains For Christ Crusade Opens At Tease web

Afram Plains For Christ Crusade Opens At Tease

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

Waves of worship, fervent prayers, and electrifying praise filled the air at the New Market Square in Tease, Afram Plains, as the much-awaited ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade officially began on Tuesday night, August 26, 2025.

The gathering drew hundreds of believers and seekers alike, all eager to encounter the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, in collaboration with the Afram Plains Area of the church, the four-day crusade is expected to attract both members of the church and non-members from across the Afram Plains and surrounding communities.

The crusade features ministrations from seasoned speakers, including Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi (General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost), Apostle Emmanuel K. Appiah (Director of the Evangelism Ministry), Prophet Victor Asante Darko (Afram Plains Area Head), Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson (Offinso Area Head), Elder Godfred Asare (El Shaddai Prayer Centre, Konongo), and Elder Seth Peasah (NEC Member of the Evangelism Ministry and Leader of the El-Bethel Prayer Centre, Ho).

The event is also blessed with song ministrations from the Afram Plains Mass Choir, Sister Joyce Effah, Elder Blessed Koduah, and Deaconess Lizzy Rockson.

The Afram Plains, located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, is one of the country’s most fertile but underserved areas.

With vast arable lands along the Afram River, a tributary of the Volta Lake, the local economy largely depends on farming and fishing. Maize, yam, cassava, and groundnuts are cultivated in abundance, while fishing sustains many families along the lakeside.

Despite its rich natural resources, the area faces development challenges due to scattered settlements and difficult terrain.

These challenges, however, make the Afram Plains a strategic focus for missionary work. Through evangelistic campaigns like ‘Afram Plains for Christ,’ The Church of Pentecost continues to extend the light of the Gospel to remote communities, offering hope and transformation through Jesus Christ.

The crusade will conclude on Saturday, August 30, 2025, with a free holistic medical screening and children’s service, offering both spiritual and physical healing to the people of the Afram Plains.

LEADERSHIP REQUIRES VISION AND DIRECTION – APOSTLE SAMUEL OBUOBI web

Leadership Requires Vision And Direction – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has cautioned leaders, particularly church leaders, against blind leadership, describing it as leadership without vision and direction.

Preaching at the farewell service of the outgoing Counselling Ministry Director of the Church, Apostle Dr. Phillip Osei-Korsah, his wife Evelyn, and family at the D.K. Arnan Worship Centre on Sunday, Apostle Obuobi drew from Matthew 15:14 and Luke 6:39 to highlight the dangers of blind leadership.

He explained that blind leaders are those who lack a sense of direction and clarity. “A leader who does not know where he is going cannot lead his followers. Such a leader has no clear vision regarding himself, his followers, or even the future,” he stated.

Apostle Obuobi admonished Christian leaders to pursue clarity of vision and direction in order to avoid leading their followers into error or destruction.

He stressed that leadership in the church must always be guided by God’s word and a clear sense of purpose.

The farewell service brought together ministers, members, and well-wishers to celebrate the life and ministry of Apostle Dr. Osei-Korsah and his family, who is leaving the Counselling Ministry Directorate at the Church’s Headquarters to Nkawkaw as Area Head.

A colourful farewell service was held on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the D.K. Arnan Worship Centre in the Teshie Nungua Area of The Church of Pentecost (COP) in honour of the outgoing Director of the Counselling Ministry (COPCOM), Apostle Dr. Phillip Osei-Korsah, his wife Evelyn, and their family.

The well-attended event brought together ministers of The Church of Pentecost (both active and retired), members, family, and well-wishers, who gathered to bid the family farewell as they take up their new assignment in the Nkawkaw Area, where Apostle Dr. Osei-Korsah will serve as Area Head.

The service was officiated by the General Secretary of the Church, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, with support from an Executive Council Member of the Church, Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh, and other senior ministers.

In a eulogy presented on behalf of the D.K. Arnan Worship Centre by the Resident Minister, Pastor Emmanuel Appah, the Osei-Korsahs were highly commended for their immense contributions during their three-year stay. Apostle Dr. Osei-Korsah was described as a “pillar of the church,” admired for his ever-present smile, words of encouragement, fatherly counsel, sound teaching of the Word, and readiness to support ministerial duties despite his busy schedule.

Mrs. Evelyn Osei-Korsah was equally celebrated for her humility, warmth, deep love for the Word of God, and her steadfast support of her husband’s ministry.

As a token of appreciation and remembrance, the D.K. Arnan Worship Centre presented citations to Apostle Dr. Phillip Osei-Korsah and Mrs. Evelyn Osei-Korsah, acknowledging their exemplary service and lasting impact on the congregation.

Additionally, the Teshie-Nungua Area pastorate and the staff of the Church’s Headquarters, all highlighting the couple’s significant influence during their three-year acquaintance, shared testimonies.

Delivering the sermon on the theme “The Christian Leader,” Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi cautioned against blind leadership, which he said lacks vision and direction. He noted that leaders without a sense of where they are going cannot effectively guide their followers.

He explained that Christian leadership must be characterised by servanthood, sacrifice, and humility, stressing from Matthew 20:26–28 that “whoever desires to be great must be a servant, just as Jesus came not to be served but to serve.”

Apostle Obuobi further described Christian leaders as shepherds who must care for and build relationships with their flock (Acts 20:28; John 10:14), instruments in the hands of God (Jeremiah 18:1–4) who must fully surrender to His will, and disciplined soldiers (2 Timothy 2:4) who remain vigilant and devoted at all times.

“The leader must not play with his or her devotion but stay on guard and live a life that pleases the One who has called them,” he emphasised.

In response, Apostle Dr. Osei-Korsah, on behalf of the family, expressed profound gratitude to God for His guidance and faithfulness throughout their ministerial journey. He also conveyed appreciation to the leadership of the Church and to all who, in diverse ways, supported them during their service at the Church’s Headquarters and the Worship Centre.

Bringing the service to a close, Apostle Obuobi led ministers and congregants in special prayers for grace and divine guidance for the Osei-Korsah family as they depart for Nkawkaw to continue their ministerial journey.

Christian Leaders Must Embody Service, Sacrifice, & Humility – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reminded Christians, particularly leaders, that true Christian leadership is rooted in servanthood, sacrifice, humility, and discipline.

Delivering a sermon on the theme “The Christian Leader” during the farewell service for the outgoing Counselling Ministry (COPCOM) Director of the Church, Apostle Dr. Phillip Osei-Korsah, his wife Evelyn, and family, at the D.K. Arnan Worship Centre on Sunday, Apostle Obuobi cautioned against blind leadership that lacks direction.

Quoting Matthew 20:26–28, he stressed that Christian leaders are called to serve, not to lord authority over others.

“Whoever desires to become great among you must be a servant, just as Jesus did not come to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many,” he said.

He further explained that the Christian leader is also a shepherd tasked with caring for and building relationships with the flock of God.

Drawing from Acts 20:28 and John 10:14, he emphasised that leadership requires both sacrifice and close relationship with the people one leads.

Apostle Obuobi also described the Christian leader as an instrument in the hands of God, comparing leaders to clay in the hands of the potter as recorded in Jeremiah 18:1–4.

He underscored the need for leaders to surrender their will completely to God, discovering and walking in His purpose for their lives.

In addition, he likened leaders to soldiers, quoting 2 Timothy 2:4 to admonish them to remain disciplined, vigilant, and devoted at all times.

“The leader must not play with his or her devotion, but must stay on guard and live a life that pleases the one who has called him,” he urged.

The farewell service brought together ministers of the Church (both active and retired), members, family, and well-wishers to show solidarity with Apostle Dr. Phillip Osei-Korsah and his family as they head to Nkawkaw to serve as Area Head.

The service attracted ministers, members, traditional leaders, and dignitaries, who gathered to celebrate the couple’s enduring legacy.

Prophet Dentu, described as approachable, a deep thinker, and a man with keen interest in the spiritual and social development of people, was commended for his prophetic insights, an office he was called into in 2016, which provided clear guidance and direction for the church.

Together with his wife, Mama Gladys, he entered full-time ministry in 2000, serving at six duty stations: Abirem Agona (Cape Coast Area), Kasoa Ofaakor (then Kasoa Area), Alogboshie Worship Centre (Achimota Area while at GEC), Nkawkaw Area, and Sefwi Wiawso Area.

Preaching on the theme of grace, Apostle Etrue quoted from Ephesians 2:8-9 and John 1:17, urging believers to remain connected to Christ, the source of all grace.

‘Christ is the source of all grace, and greater grace calls for greater labour,’ he said.

He encouraged members to rely on God’s grace in times of trial (1 Corinthians 15:9-10), stressing that grace empowers believers to overcome sin and remain steadfast. He further highlighted its greatness (Acts 4:33), abundance (2 Corinthians 12:9; Romans 5:15-20), glory (Ephesians 1:6), and blessing (2 Corinthians 13:14).

In a spirit-filled atmosphere of worship and testimonies from the General Council, Area Presbytery, Area Pastorate, and Women’s Ministry, the church expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prophet Robert and Mrs Gladys Dentu for their sacrificial service, describing their ministry as a blessing to the church and beyond.

They were also presented with a certificate of service in appreciation of their selfless dedication in the Lord’s vineyard and The Church of Pentecost in particular.
