One hundred and eighty pupils of the Maase Brofoyedru R/C Primary School have accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal Saviour following an aggressive evangelism exercise embarked upon by the Women’s Ministry of Maase District in the Old Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost on Thursday, November 3, 2022. 

The women also presented gifts to the school worth GHC 2,500, including 70 pieces of Gideons International Bibles to enhance their spiritual growth in Christ Jesus.

As the Month of November has been designated for aggressive evangelism in The Church of Pentecost, with the various ministries mandated to boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to save the lost, the Maase Women’s Ministry was at the Maase Brofoyedru R/C Primary School.

Mrs. Theresa Owusuaa Anank, the wife of the district minister, preaching on the theme: “For God so love the World” based on John 3:16, expounded God’s affection towards humanity regardless of their sinful acts. She gave reasons why Jesus came to the world and the significance of believing in the Son of God as one’s Lord and personal Saviour – even as a child.

An altar call made after the sermonette saw 180 pupils surrendering their lives to Christ Jesus, including a boy named Christian, who lives with his grandfather, a fetish priest – he declared his disaffection for idol worship as the women prayed for him.

Mrs. Anank was grateful to God for directing them to the school to fulfil such a divine mandate and assured that schools at Maase and its surrounding communities would have a share of the evangelism month.

The Headmistress of the School, Miss Ruth Appiah Mensah, appreciated The Church of Pentecost for the visit and the gifts. She outlined a few challenges facing the school and called for support.

The Old Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost has relaunched the “One Member One Discipled Soul” campaign as part of the Church’s aggressive evangelism drive for the month of November.

Under the theme, “Go, Seek and Save the Lost,” (Luke 19:10), the Area Head, Apostle Daniel Yeboah Nsaful, urged all members to be much involved in the campaign to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

The launch ceremony took place at the Old Tafo Central Assembly auditorium during the Area’s monthly prayers dubbed, “Divine Encounter” on Friday, November 4, 2022.

As the month of November is designated for aggressive evangelism, the Old Tafo Area is keenly abiding by the strategic measures of The Church of Pentecost to save the perishing and heal the sick through the preaching of the Word of God.

The Area Head, during the launch encouraged members and all believers to get involved in the Great Commission mandate. He asserted that the relaunch of the program is not just an engagement of speech, but a demonstration of the power of the Holy Ghost through the preaching of the Word.

He challenged members to at least, win one soul for Christ as a testament to their commitment to the Christian faith and a selfless dedication to the matters of the Kingdom of God.

The Area Evangelism Ministry Leader, Pastor George Amesawu, sketched out the various strategies put in place for the initiative which include dawn broadcast, market and street evangelism, schools outreach and other evangelistic activities as part of the Area’s pursuit to fulfilling the mandate of the Great Commission. A gospel crusade by the Women’s Ministry in the Area was also hinted to climax the occasion.

The Old Tafo Area Home and Urbans Mission (HUM) Coordinator, Pastor Francis Anank, confirmed that HUM is deeply involved in the activities and has already won 25 souls across ghetto areas, localities and other deserted places equipping them with the Word of God.

“Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end of everything. He is the only teacher from whom we must learn; the only Lord on whom we should depend, and the only model we should imitate. He is the only Physician that can heal us; the only Shepherd that can feed us; the only Way that can lead us; the only Truth that we can believe; the only Life that can animate us. He alone is everything to us, and He alone can satisfy all our desires.”

The above statement was contained in the sermon preached by the Agape District Minister and Outreach Coordinator of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, during a morning session of the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade at the Juaboso Central Assembly church auditorium.

Speaking on the topic: “Knowing Jesus by Revelation” with Matthew 13:17 and Philippians 3:10 as his anchor texts, Pastor Fordjour advised Christians to emulate Apostle Paul, who was relentless in his quest to know more of the Lord despite the many challenges he faced.

He noted that knowledge of God is very key to Christian living and a successful ministry.

One such deep truth that everyone must come to terms with, according to him, is the knowledge of Jesus Christ as the only saviour of the world. 

He explained that Jesus Christ, the eternal son of God, is a gift of love from the Father for the salvation of the World. His sinless life on earth, death on the cross, burial and resurrection has accredited Him as the only saviour of humankind, he added.

Pastor Fordjour further explained that all those who believe and accept Him as their personal Saviour and Lord shall be saved from sin, death and eternal damnation.

“In return, Jesus gives you eternal life and the power to become a child of God,” he stated.

The Agape District Minister further indicated that when one becomes born again, God gives them the power to overcome sin and temptations, evangelise, prosper, overcome the world, overcome the devil and evil spirits.

“He also gives you the power to pray, and to operate and accept the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit,” he added.

Pastor Fordjour stressed the importance of the baptism of the Holy Spirit in Christian living, stressing that: “No Disciple can be victorious or effective in his/her Christian life and service without experiencing the power, person, glory and the fruit of the Holy Spirit.”

He further noted that the main work of the Holy Spirit is to help believers harness and maximise all the benefits (blessings) of the salvation they have received in Christ.

“Salvation comes with a package, but for the Christian to enjoy the fullness of the package is the work of the Holy Spirit,” he reiterated.

The Suame Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle John Obeng Kesse, has said that everything about Jesus is powerful and that He is the only one who wields absolute power.

“Everything about Jesus is powerful; His name is powerful, His blood is powerful, and all authorities and principalities are under his feet,” he charged as he addressed the thousands gathered at the Juaboso Town Park for yesterday’s evening session of the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade.

Quoting Hebrews 2:8-9, the Suame Area Head explained that God has put all things in subjection under the feet of Jesus, hence at the mention of His name, every knee bow in heaven, on earth and underneath.

He further indicated that Jesus’ preoccupation is to save all who are in the bondage of sin and death and grant them eternal life.

“Many people have great vision and professions in the world, but Jesus chose the business of redeeming sinners from sin and death,” he said.

He said that Jesus has power to save sinners from the kingdom of darkness of the evil and bring them into His kingdom of Light.

“The best part is that, Jesus’ power is translative, so He gives His power and authority to anyone who believes in Him to act in His name,” he said.

Apostle Obeng Kese, therefore, appealed to anyone contemplating suicide because of a hopeless situation they find themselves to reconsider their decision and rather come to faith in Christ, who is all-powerful and can save them from any predicament.

“Do not die in your sin, believe in Jesus, and you will certainly experience the power in His name,” he said.

The Sefwi Juaboso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Evangelist Shadrach Ohene-Asa Otu, has advised Christians to be intentional about receiving the anointing of God for greater impact in life and ministry.

Evangelist Otu said this yesterday during the morning session of the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade at the Juaboso Central Assembly church auditorium.

Speaking on the topic: “The Double Portion Anointing” with 2 Kings 2:6-10 as his main scripture reference, the Sefwi- Juaboso Area Head said that each day the Lord gives Christians is an opportunity for them to seek good things from God through prayer. One of the things which, according to him, every Christian must seek in prayer is the anointing of God, he added.

Touching on the benefits of the anointing, Evangelist Otu explained that the one who is anointed has their words (speech) backed with evidence because anything they say comes to pass.

He further explained that an anointed person is not intimidated by anything or anyone, works signs and wonders (miracle worker), leads a life of holiness, righteousness and good character, and is “untouchable.”

“The anointing also brings life, breaks yokes (burdens), makes you a changed person and unique, brings about promotion, and grants you access to the deep things (mysteries) of God,” he said.

He, therefore, urged believers, in particular, to always yearn for a double portion of the anointing of God as Elisha requested of his master, Elijah.

To receive the anointing of God, Evangelist Ohene-Asa Otu said that one must first believe in Jesus Christ and be born again. 

“As a child of God, you must ask for the power and the gift of the Holy Spirit through prayers and always wait upon the Lord,” he said.

The Sefwi-Juaboso Area Head also urged them to be determined and participate actively in congregational worship and fellowship in seeking a double portion of God’s anointing.

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.
