La Area Targets 1,500 Souls In 1M1D Soul Project

The La Area of The Church of Pentecost seeks to win 1,500 souls for Christ in the One Member, One Discipled Soul (1M1D) project scheduled between November and December this year.

Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, La Area Head and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, revealed this during the launch of the church’s evangelistic drive at the Dr Thomas Wyatt Memorial Temple (Accra Newtown Zone) on Sunday, October 29.

The event, attended by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, was held simultaneously in other Zonal Centres in La Area.

Taking Scripture references from Jude 1:7, 23 as well as Revelation 20:14 and 15, Apostle Dr Nuekpe reiterated the urgency to reclaim certain people who are wavering in the faith, growing cold in their love for God and snatching others from hell through whatever way possible.

Apostle Dr Nuekpe emphasised the need to trumpet that Jesus Christ is the only accredited Saviour of the world. He alone is accredited to save humanity from eternal damnation.

He further charged believers to pray for the Holy Spirit to baptise the souls that would be won so that they would be firmly established in Christ.

The Area Head implored members to harness dawn broadcasting, rallies, campaigns, hospital visitations, visits to bus stations and beaches, and using traditional and other social media platforms to make the evangelistic drive a success.

Also in attendance were Apostle Prof Peter Ohene Kyei (Rtd), former Rector of the Pentecost University, Mrs Mary Nyamekye, wife of the Chairman, the pastorate in La Area and their wives.

Man On the Brink Of Suicide Surrenders To Christ At “Jesus Saves Crusade” web

Man On the Brink Of Suicide Surrenders To Christ At “Jesus Saves Crusade”

In a remarkable turn of events, a man teetering on the edge of suicide found salvation in Christ during the concluding day of the “Jesus Saves Crusade,” organised by the Darkuman District in the Kaneshie Area of The Church of Pentecost.

On the final day of the three-day crusade held at the Darkuman Circle station, a man, later identified as Nana Poku Serebour, courageously stepped forward during the altar call to surrender his life to Christ.

Before embracing Christ as his Lord and Saviour, Nana Poku Serebour handed over a “Rapid Rat Killer” to the Church elders, revealing his intent to end his life that very evening due to the overwhelming struggles he faced.

He expressed being an ex-convict, left homeless and jobless, with no connections to his family.

Nana Poku Serebour lamented his dire circumstances, citing profound suffering and a loss of hope in life as reasons for contemplating suicide. In a desperate act, he obtained a lethal substance with the intent to consume it in a hidden location.

However, the transformative power of the Crusade intervened. Upon hearing the word of God and engaging with compassionate brethren, Nana Poku Serebour had a change of heart, choosing to surrender his life to Christ.

Counselors provided additional guidance on Christ and salvation, helping him understand the profound significance of this decision.

The church leadership, moved by his plight, assured Nana Poku Serebour that they would support him in finding solace under the protection of God, providing assistance to rebuild his life and become a valuable member of society.

The man was overjoyed and grateful for his new life. He thanked God and the church for saving him from death and despair.

“Jesus Is Our True Helper” – Apostle Tetteh Juddah Tells Christians

The Odorkor Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Isaac Tetteh Juddah, has urged Christians to continue looking up to Jesus, especially in times of trouble, because He is the true helper of humankind.

Apostle Tetteh Juddah said this today when he exhorted congregants during the morning session of the ongoing “Tema-Ashaiman for Christ” Crusade at the James McKeown Memorial Temple in Ashaiman.

Using Psalm 21 as his foundational text, the Odorkor Area Head mentioned that in the days of old, people used to look up to the mountains for help, and in contemporary times, people resort to all sorts of things, including anointing oils.

He, however, stressed that the only true helper of men remains Jesus Christ. According to him, although people deploy security men to guard them, that is not enough, asking, “Can they protect you spiritually?”

“Blessed is the one who makes the Lord his protector because He puts His angels in charge of you,” he added.

Apostle Tetteh Juddah further noted that God is the creator of the world and everything in it, and therefore, He is the one who truly knows what one’s needs are.

“He’s the God of History. He knows your beginning and ending. His thoughts towards you are good,” he stated.

Quoting Psalm 121:7-8, he emphasized that God is a true helper because He has sworn to be the helper of His people even in times of trouble.

He, therefore, urged Christians to consciously make Jesus their helper since they stand to gain more from God’s powerful help (Psalm 121:1-2), providential help (Psalm 121:3-4), personal help, and perennial help.

140  Souls Won During Second Day Of “Tema-Ashaiman For Christ” Crusade

The heavens echoed with joy as 140 individuals surrendered their lives to Christ during the ongoing Tema-Ashaiman for Christ gospel crusade last night.

The event, hosted at the Nii Oninku Park (Tema Community 1), continues to set remarkable records, boasting an attendance of over 6000 participants.

Preaching at the event, Apostle James Asare, the Kasoa Area Head, emphasised that true satisfaction can only be found in Christ Jesus. He highlighted that many have attempted to discover fulfillment through avenues such as alcohol, drugs, material possessions, money, and pleasure, all in vain.

Apostle Asare stressed that those seeking satisfaction in temporary pleasures are ultimately at a loss. He contrasted this with the eternal and lasting life that Jesus offers.

In a passionate appeal, he called on everyone to embrace the life offered by Jesus for a more meaningful existence.

He assured them that just as the prodigal son was wholeheartedly received by his father on his return, God is also ever ready to welcome them home through faith in Christ Jesus.

Following the sermon, an altar call resulted in 140 individuals, including 29 children, surrendering their lives to Christ. Additionally, 21 backslidden Christians rededicated themselves to Christ.

In a testament to God’s glory, 96 of the new converts underwent water baptism on the same day, with 36 of them also receiving the Holy Spirit baptism.

Let Go Of Your Past - Apostle Ankra-Badu Advises web

“Let Go Of Your Past” – Apostle Ankra-Badu Advises

The Tema Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Ofei Ankra-Badu, has advised believers and non-believers alike to release the grip of their pasts in order to embrace the abundant life offered by Christ.

He gave this advice during the morning session of the Tema-Ashaiman for Christ gospel crusade today.

Speaking on the topic “Dealing with the Past,” Apostle Ankra-Badu emphasised that to receive the all-sufficient life Christ offers, individuals must liberate themselves from every past experience inconsistent with the new blessings God’s kind of life brings.

Reading from Isaiah 53:19, the Tema Area Head highlighted that dwelling on the past is the only hindrance to enjoying the blessings of the present.

He pointed out that many individuals remain stagnant not because God is unwilling to bless them, but because they lack the new mindset required to receive the fresh things God wants to do, hindered by their past.

“Beware of the devil’s victimization. You’re the Lord’s beloved child, not condemned, so don’t live in past regrets. Release your past and live in grace. It’s time to allow the Word of God to be translated in our lives,” he urged.

He cautioned against being embittered by past offenses, encouraging Christians to let go and allow the new things of God to become their reality.

Apostle Ankra-Badu drew parallels from biblical narratives, citing the prodigal son who, upon realising his mistakes, sought forgiveness from his father and obtained his favour again.

“You need to let go of the past to step into new blessings,” he said.

To be able to effectively let go of the past, he urged Christians to develop a right spirit, believe in the new life, watch their words, have a joyful heart and establish right priorities.

Jesus Offers Life In Abundance – Apostle Dr. Jimmy Markin

Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, the Evangelism Ministry Director and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, has declared that embracing Jesus Christ brings about a life of profound transformation and abundance.

Apostle Dr. Markin made this proclamation during his sermon on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, at the opening day of the “Tema-Ashaiman for Christ” Gospel crusade. The four-day event, which is taking place at the Nii Oninku Park in Tema Community 1, is under the theme “Life That Satisfies” (John 1:14, John 10:10).

Drawing inspiration from Proverbs 22:4 and John 3:14-18, the Evangelism Director highlighted the core elements of salvation, healing, and deliverance that come with the acceptance of Jesus.

“People seek wealth, honour, and life throughout their existence. They strive for success, recognition, and a life that is truly satisfying. However, many find themselves lacking in one aspect or another. Some possess wealth but lack honour, while others may have both but feel an emptiness within,” he said.

Referring to Hebrews 2:15, Apostle Markin addressed the universal fear of death that haunts many, emphasising that Jesus offers a solution to this fear. “Through the fear of death, people live in bondage,” he explained. “But in Jesus, there is abundant life – a life that satisfies.”

Apostle Markin went on to distinguish between the confused life that some individuals lead, marked by mental and emotional turmoil, and the eternal life promised in Christ Jesus.

Citing the story from Mark 5:1-15, where Jesus encountered a demon-possessed man living among tombs in the country of the Gadarenes, he illustrated how Jesus brings acceptance, freedom, and a complete transformation to all who reach out to Him.

“Jesus is the author of eternal life,” Apostle Markin proclaimed. “He brings light to the darkness in our lives, offering an abundant life that goes beyond the material and superficial. In Him, there is acceptance for the rejected, freedom for the bound, and a satisfying life for all.”

Drawing attention to individuals grappling with issues such as broken relationships, financial challenges, and the weight of sin, Apostle Markin urged the crowd to turn to Jesus, the source of true satisfaction. “In Jesus, one finds not just temporary relief but a lasting solution to life’s challenges,” he declared.

Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, therefore, urged all who yearn to experience the abundant life that Jesus promises to invite Jesus into their lives in order to access the life that truly satisfies the deepest longings of the human soul.

The “Tema-Ashaiman for Christ” gospel crusade is being jointly organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost together with the Tema and Ashaiman areas. The event will be climaxed on Saturday, November 25, 2023 with a health-screening exercise
