The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye, has urged persons in a state of despair (hopelessness) not to give up but rather seek the Lord’s intervention.

According to Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye, Jesus can be trusted to solve any challenge that life poses because He has a proven track record of doing the impossible.

The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head said this yesterday during the morning session of the ongoing “Accra for Christ” crusade held at the Oduman Central Assembly church auditorium.

Making reference to Acts 10:38 and Luke 4:18-19, among other Bible texts, the minister noted how Jesus healed many of their sicknesses, while citing the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43.

“The woman received her healing just by touching Jesus’ garment by faith,” he said.

The Area Head also alluded to how Jesus raised Lazarus, who had died and been buried for some days, back to life to the astonishment of many witnesses.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye said that Jesus again proved that He has authority over evil spirits when He liberated Mary Magdalene from the demons that had possessed her.

The Area Head finally mentioned the miraculous event recorded in the Bible of how Jesus caused coins to appear in the mouth of a fish.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye further noted that there are many miracles credited to Jesus during his relatively short life on earth and these affirm His omnipotence.

“The Jesus of the Bible is the same today and forever and is still in the business of working miracles,” he further noted.

He said that Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem humanity from every bondage, stressing: “Jesus Christ was born for our sake.”

The Area Head, therefore, urged persons overwhelmed with life issues to turn to Christ and He would give them rest. 

“No matter what your challenge is, please try Jesus. All you have to do is to surrender your life to Him and make Him the Lord of your life,” he said.

“You have heard about Jesus several times and not really paid attention to Him. You might have heard about Him on the radio, on the television, during funeral services, or during church services. You may have even sung about Jesus and yet not know Him. Jesus is the saviour of all humankind and in Him is life.”

The above statement was the thrust of the gospel message preached by the Evangelism Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, on the first day of the “Accra for Christ” crusade at the Nsakina M/A School Park.

Reading from John 5:1-15, Matthew 1:21, and Acts 10:38, Apostle Dr. Markin observed that, like the disabled man at the pool of Bethesda who was healed by Jesus, many people have no idea who Jesus is.

He explained that Jesus was the one John the Baptist described as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

“His name, Jesus, means a saviour, and this was given to Him at birth,” he added.

He further stated that Jesus was conceived by a virgin and, to this day, remains the only person born sinless who also walked on this earth and was still without sin. While on earth, Jesus healed the sick, forgave the sins of many, and liberated many others who were held captive by the devil.

Apostle Dr. Markin further noted that Jesus gave Himself as a propitiation for the sin of humanity by dying on the cross.

“He died for our sins and went to heaven on the third. This same Jesus will come again for those who believed in Him and bring judgement upon those who did not believe in Him,” he said.

He stressed that if Jesus comes into one’s life, one receives salvation, healing, deliverance, and eternal life, among other benefits.

The Evangelism Ministry Director, therefore, called all who are yet to come to faith in Christ to do so to enjoy the immeasurable benefits in Him.

The “Accra for Christ” crusade is a four-day event being jointly organised by the Evangelism Ministry Directorate at The Church of Pentecost Headquarters and the Anyaa-Ablekuma Area of the Church. The event is under the theme: “This Same Jesus” (Acts 1:11).

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.
