Elder Stephen Awuah Kesse, Leader of the Agona Prayer Centre in the Tarkwa Area of The Church of Pentecost, has advised Christians to be resolute in their faith in all situations.

According to him, Christians can always find hope even in times of distress, stressing that “hope is found in Jesus alone. So, when you feel that all is lost, know that Jesus gives hope.”

Elder Awuah Kesse was speaking on Day 2 of the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade being jointly held by the Sefwi Juaboso Area and the Evangelism Ministry at Juaboso Town Park.

Dwelling on the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34, Elder Kesse said it took just a day for the woman to meet her destiny helper.

He, therefore, urged Christians to be hopeful in the Lord and trust that, in the appointed time, He will also come through for them.

“Men may neglect you, but God will never forsake you. It takes a day in the life of everyone to meet their destiny helper,” he said.

Elder Awuah Kesse also advised believers to be extra cautious during difficult times because the devil usually takes advantage of their predicaments to sway them from the Christian faith.

“We are always waging war against Satan over the faith we have in Christ Jesus. Do not allow your mind, which is the battleground, to be dominated by the words of friends and relatives or the deceit of the devil. Take a bold decision and be determined to walk with Jesus,” he advised.

Elder Awuah Kesse also urged Christians to take inspiration from the testimonies of others who demonstrated great faith in the Lord in difficult situations and were rewarded for it. 

“The touch of Jesus brings liberty and wholeness. Just believe in the power of Jesus; He will turn your situations around,” he said.

“Life is a journey; it has a beginning and an end. Right from birth, you begin the journey and once you begin, you must know that it will come to an end. However, the mystery of the journey of life is that you do not know when it will end.”

The above statement was contained in a sermon preached by the Evangelism Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, during the opening of the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade yesterday at the Juaboso Town Park.

According to Apostle Dr. Markin, since life is a journey, every human being must accept the fact that it will surely come to an end. 

“It does not matter how it ends, whether, through an accident, sickness leading to death or through the rapture of the saints, every life on earth will end,” he said.

The Evangelism Director cautioned that the state in which one dies can never be reversed and remains. “Whether you died a believer or an unbeliever, you cannot change your status after death,” he warned.

He, therefore, urged humankind to make a concrete decision on how they would like to end their life journey. He stressed that there is no middle ground in the issue of heaven and hell.

“You are either blessed or cursed, a child of God or the devil, going to heaven or hell; there is no middle ground,” he said.

Apostle Dr. Jimmy Markin said that every human has to decide which side to be on. 

Using the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 to elaborate his assertion, he said that on the journey of life, human beings are bound to be attacked by the devil, who only seeks to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10).

He said that, like the Good Samaritan, Jesus came to fully pay the price for the sins of humanity and redeem them from the attacks of the evil one.

The Evangelism Director, therefore, called on every human being to accept Christ into their lives as Lord and personal Saviour, especially since they do not know when their journey would end.

“This is not about emotions; it is a decision you must make; your destiny is in your own hands,” he charged.

The “Juaboso for Christ” crusade, which is being jointly organised by the Sefwi Juaboso Area and the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, is under the theme: “Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World.”

Report by Pastor Emmanuel Korankye Oduro

The Sefwi Bekwai Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel K. Osei Fosu, has said that the gift of salvation certifies believers as God’s representative on earth.

Apostle Osei Fosu said this yesterday when he preached on the topic: “Receive the life in Jesus Christ” on Day 3 of the ongoing “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade at the Tanoso Community Park.

Using John 17:9-11 and John 3:16-17 as scripture references, the Sefwi Bekwai Area Head said that Jesus Christ possesses life and anyone who seeks Him obtains life for godly living.

“As a Christian, remember that the old life is crucified with Christ, so you are a new person in Christ. That means you have transited from death to life in Christ,” he said.

He explained that the depraved nature of humankind resulted from the disobedience of the first humans, Adam and Eve. According to him, this weakness causes human beings to perpetuate evil and other sinister acts against their fellow humans.

He further observed that evil is prevalent in the contemporary world because many unbelievers (and, even believers) do not have enough godly (spiritual) life.

He said that Christians have been redeemed to serve the interest and will of God on earth and must, therefore, lead lives that conform to the image of Christ.

“You are not only saved from darkness to light, but you also become the representation of God’s light on the earth,” he stressed.

Apostle Osei Ofosu, therefore, urged believers to eschew all forms of unrighteousness (sin) in order to receive all the countless gifts in Christ Jesus.

“There is a big difference between participating in church activities and possessing the gift of God’s salvation for yourself. As a believer of Christ, give your all to Him, make sure you remain in His word, and live your life in Him,” he said.

The Agape District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, has emphasised that eternal life can only be found in Christ and that only those who have accepted Him as Lord and personal Saviour can access it.

Pastor Fordjour said this when he preached on the Day 2 of the ongoing “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade yesterday.

In his sermon, the Agape District Minister, who doubles as the Outreach Coordinator for the Evangelism Ministry, explained that the word “life” is translated in Greek as Bios, Psuche, and Zoe.

“Bios is simply physical life, Psuche means the soul-life, and Zoe is the God-kind of life, which is eternal,” he explained.

Using John 10, John 5:12, John 1:1 and 2, he stated that not only can eternal life be found in Jesus, but also, He alone has the power to save.

“Sin has no medication, but Jesus is the only one who possesses the antidote,” he said.

He further noted that, addition to eternal life and remedy for sin, there are countless benefits and blessings in Jesus such as good health, prosperity, deliverance from impure spirits, among others.

Pastor Awuah Fordjour, however, cautioned that anyone who does not accept Christ automatically becomes a candidate for hell, a place of torment reserved for all workers of iniquity.

“Your will has been given to you, so you must make your own choice. But whatever you decide, remember that you will account for this one day,” he advised.

The “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade is under the theme: “In Him Is Life” (John 1:4). The event is being jointly organised by the Evangelism Ministry Directorate and the Nkwanta District of The Church of Pentecost at the Tanoso Community Park.

Elder Albert Narh, a co-opted member of the Evangelism Ministry National Executive Committee of The Church of Pentecost, has stressed that no agent of darkness (the devil) can withstand the light in Jesus.

“Anyone who comes to Christ runs away from the oppression of this dark world to the saving power of God Almighty,’ he said when he preached on the topic: “In Him Is Life” during the morning session of Day 2 of the ongoing “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade at the Nkwanta Central Assembly church auditorium.

Reading from John 1:4-5, Elder Narh said that Jesus Christ is the free life-giver and that salvation is found in no other human being or entity except in Him.

He explained that the Spirit of Jesus lives in anyone who accepts Him as their Lord and personal Saviour; hence, every believer carries the life and authority of Christ in them.

He, therefore, urged believers to be bold and not to allow themselves to be intimidated by evil spirits.

Elder Narh also noted that Jesus Christ is the only one who can permanently change a person’s destiny. He advised Christians to submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, not neglect the gathering of the saints and always yearn to receive fresh strength from the Lord daily.

“We must endeavour to grow in our faith and to receive enlightenment through God’s word. This is because physical blindness may be an unpleasant or difficult condition, but spiritual blindness is far worse,” he warned.

He, therefore, urged Christians to develop a consistent prayer life and cultivate the habit of reading God’s word and heeding the instructions.

The “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade, which is under the theme “In Him Is Life” (John 1:4), is a four-day event being jointly organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost and the Nkwanta District in the Sefwi Bekwai Area of the Church. 

The event, which is being held at the Tanoso Community Park, officially began on October 18, 2022.

Despite a heavy downpour that threatened to mar the start of the “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade yesterday, hundreds of people thronged to the Tanoso Community Park for the official opening of the much-anticipated event.

People from all walks of life, including members of the Nkwanta District, turned up in their numbers for the crusade.

Pastor Kwabena Antwi, a retired minister of The Church of Pentecost, gave a chilling testimony of the power of the Gospel to save and transform lives for the better.

In his testimony, interspersed with humour, the retired minister explained how the Lord transformed him from a drug addict and idol worshipper into a minister of the Gospel. 

“If the Lord was able to transform my hopeless situation, then He can surely do the same for you,” he charged poignantly through the huge Line Array speakers erected at the crusade grounds.

Referring to the story of Zacchaeus and Jesus Christ in Luke19:1-10, the Evangelism Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, said that although Zacchaeus was a sinner, he still desired to meet Jesus Christ.

He said that Zacchaeus’ effort was rewarded with a divine (august) visitation of Jesus to his house, as a result, his life was transformed for the better.

Apostle Jimmy Markin, therefore, urged everyone who is yet to encounter Christ to invite Him into their lives by accepting Him as their Lord and personal Saviour.

Twenty-nine persons responded to the altar call by the Evangelism Director and were led to confess the sinner’s prayer. Out of the souls won, 12 underwent water baptism.

The “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade would be climaxed on Saturday, October 22, 2022, with a medical outreach at the Nkwanta Assembly church premises. The four-day crusade is under the theme “In Him Is Life” (John 1:4).
