The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has held a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, H.E. Albin Kurti.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the maiden Balkan Conference organised by The Church of Pentecost, held in Pristina, Kosovo, from January 26 to 29, 2026.

The conference marked a significant milestone in the Church’s expanding missionary work across the Balkan region.

The four-day conference brought together indigenous ministers, their spouses, church leaders and selected partners for fellowship, prayer, teaching and strategic planning for the future of the Church’s work in the region. In all, 14 nations were represented, with a total of 130 participants in attendance.

During the meeting, Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained that it was important to formally meet the Prime Minister and officially brief him on the operations and impact of The Church of Pentecost in Kosovo and across the wider Balkan region. He stressed that one of the greatest needs of contemporary society is the restoration and promotion of strong moral values, noting that nations that intentionally pursue such values raise responsible citizens and build strong, stable societies.

In response, Prime Minister Albin Kurti warmly welcomed the Chairman to Kosovo and congratulated The Church of Pentecost for its growing impact and progress in the region. He observed that there can be no good politics without ethics and underscored the importance of collaboration between the state and religious bodies in promoting and sustaining moral values.

He emphasised that peaceful coexistence alone is insufficient, stating that society must move beyond mere tolerance to active cooperation. “It is not enough to tolerate one another; we must work together,” the Prime Minister remarked. He also expressed his desire to visit Ghana in the near future.

The Chairman was accompanied by the Missions Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe; the President of the Kosovo Evangelical Alliance, Pastor Arthur Krasniqi; Evangelist Sika Kwame of the Missions Office; and the heads of The Church of Pentecost in Kosovo and Bulgaria, Pastors Alban Krasniqi and Philip Rashev, respectively.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye Entreats Believers To Trust In The Spirit’s Power

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has stated that while the incomprehensibility of God may be difficult to grasp, the answer to life’s challenges has always been the abiding presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking at the Officers’ Retreat for officers in Kumasi on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the Asokwa Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Kumasi, on the theme: “The Holy Spirit Shall Come Upon You and the Power of the Most High Will Overshadow You” (Luke 1:29–38), Apostle Dr Nyamekye encouraged believers to cultivate steadfast faith, stressing that officers of the church must exemplify strong faith to inspire members in fulfilling God’s purpose.

Expounding on the angel Gabriel’s annunciation to Mary, Apostle Dr Nyamekye noted that her question, “How will this be?” reflected the natural human concern with practicalities. Yet, he said, the divine response was clear: with God, all things are possible.

“You may not be able to figure out how it is going to happen or how the situation will be turned around, but there is abundant evidence that what God has said, He will do,” he declared.

He cautioned against the tendency to complain, which he described as a distraction from receiving from God. Citing the man at the pool of Bethesda, who lamented his 38 years of infirmity when asked by Jesus if he wished to be healed, Apostle Dr Nyamekye said: “The answer has always been the same – the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.”

The Chairman further warned believers to be discerning about what they hear, as hearing shapes conduct, faith, or fear, saying, “Both faith and fear come by hearing. Fear paralyses, but faith quickens and revives.”

Illustrating with the story of Jairus in Mark 5:21–23, Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained how the report of his daughter’s death could have extinguished faith, yet Jesus’ presence brought life. He urged Christians not to be swayed by discouraging voices but to build faith through God’s word.

“There are many voices in this world – the devil speaks, people speak, our own spirit speaks, and God also speaks. No matter how reasonable a voice may sound, consider its source and content carefully,” he advised.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye concluded by admonishing the gathering not to be enslaved by fear but to strengthen their faith through right hearing, thereby deepening their connection with God for effective Kingdom work.

Chairman Joins Yendi Area For 2025 Christmas Convention

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has joined the Yendi Area for its 2025 Christmas Convention, which is being held across several Districts and Zones within the Area.

The visit began on Thursday, December 25, 2025, at the Saboba District, where the Chairman commenced a tour that will take him to five other zones, namely Zabzugu, Tatale, Makayile, Bimbila, and Yendi. The convention will climax with a grand Area joint service in the heart of Yendi on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

Speaking at the Saboba Central and English Assembly on the topic “The Importance of the Virgin Birth,” Apostle Nyamekye stated that the Christian faith is firmly anchored on two foundational truths.

“The Christian belief rests on the birth of Christ and His resurrection,” he explained. “The celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ is what we call Christmas, while His death and resurrection form the basis of Easter. These two events distinguish Christianity from all other religions.”

Describing the virgin birth as both profound and true, the Chairman encouraged believers to use the Christmas season to exalt the name of the Lord.

“The story of the virgin birth is amazing and true,” he said. “At Christmas, let us lift up the name of the Lord, and at Easter, let us boldly proclaim that Jesus died and was resurrected for our sake.”

Addressing debates surrounding the exact date of Christ’s birth, Apostle Nyamekye dismissed the argument that Christmas should not be celebrated because Jesus was not born on December 25.

“Not knowing the exact date of Jesus Christ’s birth should not prevent us from celebrating it,” he stressed. “His birth gives glory to God and gives us joy because it assures us that Christ truly came for our salvation.”

He further noted that despite humanity’s diverse backgrounds and moral standards, all people share a common need for salvation.

“We may belong to different religions, races, and moral systems, but the truth remains that humanity is fallen and corrupt by nature,” he stated. “That is why the coming of Christ is so significant.”

Present at the service were Mrs Mary Nyamekye, wife of the Chairman; the Yendi Area Head, Apostle James Magyam, and his wife, Cecilia; pastors serving in the Saboba Zone of the Yendi Area; as well as ministerial students from Pentecost University who are on internal mission placement.

God Rewards Faithful Service – Chairman Encourages Leaders During Weija Area Visitation

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has commenced a four-day working visit to the newly created Weija Area, beginning on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with an impactful All Officers’ Session held at the New Weija Central (Mandela).

The atmosphere was filled with excitement and expectation as officers and church leaders gathered to receive spiritual impartation. The Chairman, equally energised and purposeful, delivered a poignant message grounded in Hebrews 6:9–10 and Psalm 103:1–5, reminding leaders that although the Church does not remunerate with money, God Himself faithfully rewards the labour of His servants.

“God is a rewarder; He is not unjust,” he stated, encouraging officers to work even harder now that the Weija Area – carved out of the Kasoa Area earlier this year – has been fully established and entrusted to their stewardship.

Drawing further from 1 Chronicles 9:10–11 and 11:10–11, Apostle Dr Nyamekye highlighted that God remembers those who support His work. “David’s helpers were mentioned by name to show that no one who serves faithfully is ever forgotten,” he noted. He urged leaders to actively support their Area Head and contribute wholeheartedly to building a strong and vibrant Area.

The Chairman emphasised faithfulness as the primary support every leader must bring; faithfulness in prayer, faithfulness in handling church resources, and faithfulness in performing all duties through the power of the Holy Spirit. Quoting Richard Baxter, he reminded them that ministers must continually seek “light, life, and strength from God,” for human ability alone is insufficient for the sacred work of ministry.

He admonished church leaders, especially preachers, to cultivate a strong prayer life. “A prayerless ministry brings loss to God’s church,” he cautioned. Members, he added, must also pray for their pastors. “We do not qualify to criticise pastors we do not pray for,” he said, advising leaders to lovingly correct those who specialise in fault-finding rather than supporting the ministry.

Referencing Jonathan Edwards, the Chairman remarked that many ministers would achieve far more if believers used the same energy spent on criticism to pray for them. “You cannot change what you do not love,” he said, warning that yielding to the enemy’s accusing spirit weakens church leadership.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye further assured the officers that God’s presence is the true beauty and power of the Church. He urged them not to oppose the Church but to appreciate its divine heritage. “Believe in the God of this Church. Bless the Church, and it will bless you in return,” he concluded.

Also in attendance were Mrs Mary Nyamekye, wife of the Chairman; Apostle Isaac Amatey Anim, Weija Area Head; ministers and their wives; retirees and widows; Area Executive Committee members; and Pastor Benjamin Quaye Ofei-Badu (National Coordinator for HUM)

Apostle Dr Nyamekye Exhorts Believers To Pursue God’s Blessings Through Obedience

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged Christians to seek the true blessings of God by living lives of obedience, faithfulness, and integrity. He delivered the admonition during a service held at the Amoaya Zone in the Sefwi Juaboso Area on Friday, November 21, 2025.

Speaking on the topic ‘Blessings’, at the Amoaya Central Assembly of the Church, Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained that divine blessing goes far beyond material riches. According to him, God’s blessing manifests in wisdom, a good name, long life, good health, peace, and security.

‘Blessings are generational,’ he noted, emphasizing that God desires to increase His people across generations, as highlighted in Genesis 1:27–28.

He stressed that human appearance, whether tall or short, holds no bearing on one’s destiny. What matters, he said, is possessing a good name.

‘The enemy fights us because he did not create us, but God loves us and desires to bless us,’ he added.

Referencing Numbers 6:22–27, the Chairman pointed out that carrying the name of the Lord places believers under divine favour. However, he cautioned that certain lifestyles can hinder the flow of blessings.

‘Sometimes the reason blessings seem far is because of how we live. When we align ourselves with God, His blessings follow,’ he stated.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye further drew from Deuteronomy 28, reminding the congregation that obedience to God’s commandments is the key to attracting His blessings. He urged Christians not to be swayed by lustful desires but to pursue righteousness and prayerfully commit their livelihoods to God.

‘Ask God to bless your farm and everything you own,’ he encouraged, affirming that all true blessings come directly from the Lord.

The service formed part of the Chairman’s working visit to the Sefwi Juaboso Area.

Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, conducted a visit on November 20, 2025, to social projects funded by Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) and the National Women’s Ministry in the Essam-Debiso Area, demonstrating the Church’s commitment to community development.

The visit began at the Pentecost Clinic in Yawmatwa, under the leadership of Professor Dr Godwin Ayitey. The clinic operates fully with a dedicated staff managing daily activities.

However, Dr Ayitey highlighted an urgent need for a Theatre and Operating Room to handle major cases locally, as current referrals to nearby hospitals sometimes jeopardize patient safety. Apostle Dr Nyamekye acknowledged the request and assured that the Church would consider this critical need.

Following the clinic, the Chairman toured two Skills Training Centres located in Yawmatwa and Essam. At the Yawmatwa centre, 27 students are undergoing a two-year dressmaking course.

Mrs Bernice Boateng, Head of the Centre, explained that upon completion, trainees receive stipends to help start their own businesses, empowering them with skills and economic opportunities.

The team also visited a fully funded hairdressing salon managed by Mary Osei Tutu. Similarly, the hairdressing training lasts two years, and each trainee will receive a hair dryer as part of their starter kit, enhancing their readiness for employment or entrepreneurship.

These impactful projects were established under the visionary leadership of Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, who, upon his appointment to oversee the Essam-Debiso Area, successfully introduced and integrated PENTSOS initiatives to uplift the community.

This visit underscores The Church of Pentecost’s ongoing dedication to social welfare and sustainable development through strategic investment in health and vocational training.

Hold Authority With Humility web

Hold Authority With Humility – Apostle Dr Nyamekye To Heads

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has admonished ministers and leaders of the Church to uphold the divine authority entrusted to them with humility, whilst actively generating the spiritual power needed to execute their mandate effectively.

Delivering the opening sermon at the November 2025 Heads’ Meeting at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) on the theme, “Authority and Power,” Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained that although all heads within the Church have been conferred with some level of authority, that authority alone without spiritual power is inadequate for impactful ministry.

Drawing from John 1:12 and Acts 1:8, the Chairman established the synonymy yet distinction between the two concepts. Authority, he noted, is delegated; the right to determine, adjudicate or settle issues, whilst power is the ability and enablement to act and produce results.

“Authority without power is embarrassing,” he stressed. “If leaders go days without fasting, without prayer, without spending time with God, they may still carry the authority, but they will lack the power to deliver. Your power enhances your authority; the reverse is not true.”

Apostle Dr Nyamekye reminded heads of the church that authority is always questioned, and its source examined just as demons questioned the sons of Sceva in Acts 19:13–16, saying they knew Jesus and Paul, but not the others. Because authority is conferred, the Chairman indicated that it is not absolute and, therefore, has limits.

He advised leaders to walk within the boundaries of their jurisdictions and to respect internal systems, including financial limits, established procedures, and reporting structures within the Church. Consultation, he said, must be prioritised when ministers are uncertain — rather than relying solely on personal discretion.

According to him, authority is meant to build, solve problems, answer questions, and meet needs, but when it fails in doing so, chaos, disorder, and ministry frustration can follow. He warned that God does not countenance those who disrespect or abuse authority, and stated that authority can also be revoked.

Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that power must be intentionally generated and sustained through spiritual discipline, godly character formation, growth in grace, and a deepened knowledge of God.

“More of God means more holiness, and more holiness means more power,” he declared, adding, “Knowing the God of the Bible is an expedition.”

He further noted that spiritual power, once generated, must be jealously guarded because yesterday’s anointing is not sufficient for today’s challenges. Ministry, he said, demands continuous renewal.

Concluding, the Chairman reminded ministers that they are stewards, not owners of the authority entrusted to them. He charged them to exercise their roles with reverence, sobriety, accountability, and humility, always staying within the confines of the authority granted by God and by the Church.

Christians Charged To Reclaim Society Through The Gospel

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has challenged Christians to reclaim their role as agents of change and work to transform society through godly living and Spirit-inspired service.

Speaking at this year’s November Heads’ and Wives’ Prayer Meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained the rationale behind the Church’s 2026 theme: “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit.”

He maintained that God established the Church as His primary agency to extend His Kingdom on earth, fill the world with His glory, and bring all things under the Lordship of Christ. The Church, he noted, was intended to be “praised, powerful, and influential – spreading the fragrance of God’s majesty throughout the earth.” However, he lamented that increasing secularism, moral decay, and corruption have weakened the Church’s influence in society.

According to Apostle Dr Nyamekye, although the world is increasingly dominated by secularism, moral perversion, and corruption, God’s plan for His Church remains unchanged. 

“God is seeking to raise a people who will hold firmly to His Word, walk in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit, and become the Church that transforms the kingdoms of this world into the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ,” he said.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye concluded by urging believers to live intentionally as agents of change, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to transform the world through the Gospel.

The 2026 theme, drawn from Acts 8:4–8, Colossians 1:4–6, and Acts 13:1–5, underscores the Church’s role as both messenger and model of transformation.

The Church Of Pentecost Unveils 2026 Theme

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost has officially announced its theme for the coming year (2026): “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit.” 

The unveiling took place during the 2025 Heads’ Prayer Meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh.

Explaining the rationale behind the theme, the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, stated that the annual themes serve as strategic steps towards fulfilling the Church’s overarching vision of “Possessing the Nations – Transforming Every Sphere of Society with Kingdom Values and Principles.” He emphasised that the 2026 theme calls the Church to rediscover its mandate as God’s instrument for societal transformation through Spirit-empowered witness and godly influence.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye observed that the Church’s diminishing impact on society is partly due to messages that focus excessively on material gain rather than the Kingdom’s mission. He remarked: “If every message in the Church today centres on getting your miracle and being blessed, there will be little or no transformation in our lives and society.”

He further lamented that many believers have lost confidence in their ability to influence their workplaces, vocations, and communities for God, saying, “There seems to be little sense of responsibility among believers for taking the territories where they labour and influencing them through the principles and values of the Kingdom of God.”

Citing Ezekiel 22:30, Apostle Dr Nyamekye stressed that God is still seeking people who will “stand in the gap” for their nations. He urged Christians to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit and live out the Gospel in every sphere of life, adding that true transformation begins when believers prioritise Kingdom purposes over personal gain.

He concluded by asserting that the world will be transformed when the Church takes its rightful place, stating: “For as the Church goes, so goes the world.”
