God Still Loves You No Matter Your Sins – Apostle James Asare Asserts web

God Still Loves You No Matter Your Sins – Apostle James Asare Asserts

The Kasoa Area Head of The Church Pentecost, Apostle James Kwabena Asare, has declared that God still loves all persons regardless of their sins.

He made this declaration on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, during the Day 2 of the Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade, being held at the Black Star Square, Accra. 

Delivering the sermon, Apostle Asare emphasised the importance of reconciliation with God and how the church is called to be God’s ambassador in this mission.

He explained that reconciliation means coming back to a relationship with God, and that God is making an appeal to the lost to turn and be reconciled to Him.

Apostle Asare further elaborated that reconciliation means God is no longer going to count a person’s sins against him or her again. He stressed that no human can claim to have never sinned, and that God could have punished humanity but He has decided to use His grace to clean and forgive permanently.

Drawing from Romans 10:8, Apostle Asare said that God is persistent in His quest to grant salvation to everyone. He admonished the unsaved to turn to God, and accept this salvation.

Using the story of Zacchaeus as a case study, he explained that Zacchaeus positioned himself at a place where he could encounter God. He emphasised that Jesus knows the heart of everyone who is willing to reconcile and deliberately decided to pass by Zacchaeus, so he can encounter Him.

‘This is why God sent The Church of Pentecost to the Black Star Square to be His ambassadors in the mission of reconciliation, so run to Christ regardless of your sins and be saved,’ he stated.

Sin Is Devastatingly Evil – Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin Cautions web

Sin Is Devastatingly Evil – Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin Cautions

The outgoing Evangelism Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin, has called on all unbelievers who have been caught up in the webs of sin to turn from their sins and be reconciled with God because sin is devastatingly evil.

He made the clarion call Tuesday night (August 20, 2024), at the Black Star (Independence) Square during the first day of the Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Be Reconciled To Him,’ which is the theme for the crusade, Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin explained that God created the earth and all that is in it for a purpose and reason. He indicated that God created man for His own pleasure – that man will love, serve and rejoice in Him, all the days of their lives.

However, due to the sins of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the relationship between God and humanity was broken, causing a separation.  

Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin noted that the effect of sin is that it estranges the relationship between man and God.

He bemoaned that the biggest challenge of the world presently is that people are seeking for everything everywhere but not God. This, he said, is causing discomfort, torment and wars in the world.

‘However, the good news is that God is ringing out, seeking to reconcile with mankind,’ he said.  

He added that God has demonstrated His willingness to forgive and reconcile with man by sacrificing His only begotten Son for the sins of the world that all who believe in Him will be saved.

Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin indicated that reconciliation with God can be achieved through turning away from sinful ways and accepting Jesus as one’s Lord and personal Saviour by confessing that He is the Son of God and the only source of salvation.

The Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade commenced on Tuesday with thousands in attendance and many giving their souls to Christ.
