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

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.”

“They Are Citizens Too” — Apostle Dr. Nyamekye Advocates For Prisoners

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has called on Ghanaians to treat prisoners with dignity, stressing that incarceration does not strip individuals of their humanity or citizenship.

Delivering an address at the commissioning of the Damongo Skills and Reformation Camp today [November 5, 2025], he said the Church’s investment in correctional facilities is rooted in compassion and biblical conviction.

“Even though they are incarcerated, they remain citizens, and their welfare deserves our attention,” he said. “Sinners are our clients, and we look for them wherever they are — even in prison.”

He cited Hebrews 13:3, urging society to remember inmates as though “imprisoned with them.”

The Damongo facility is designed to provide not only accommodation but also moral and skills development support. It features chapel/classroom for worship and moral formation, tailoring, metal fabrication and carpentry workshops for skills training as well as counselling, healthcare and reintegration support

Apostle Nyamekye said beyond infrastructure, the Church has launched the Prison Associates Ministry to guide ex-convicts through reintegration and prevent relapse into crime.

Lives are already being transformed, he said, with many inmates in earlier facilities accepting Christ, acquiring skills, and preparing for life after incarceration.

“A day spent helping only yourself is a day wasted,” he said, quoting Abraham Lincoln. “We must build people, not abandon them.”

The Great Commission Is to Go and Tell – Apostle Dr. Nyamekye Urges Youth

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has called on the youth of the Church to rise to the task of soul-winning, stressing that the Great Commission remains a divine mandate for every believer.

Speaking at the Achimota Central Assembly during the opening session of the 2025 National Youth Week Celebration, the Chairman reminded the congregation that the Christian call is not to be passive but to actively “go and tell” others about Christ.

Citing the inspiring example of the Church’s founder, Rev. James McKeown, Apostle Dr. Nyamekye highlighted the power of faith and obedience in fulfilling God’s mission. “Rev. McKeown came with fifty pounds, and the results we see now are tremendous. With the numbers we have today, we must be even more encouraged to go and tell others about Christ,” he said.

Drawing from Genesis 24:60, he explained that Rebecca was blessed by her family to “increase and possess the gates of her enemies,” a blessing rooted in God’s covenant with Abraham. “The blessing was already available; Rebecca was simply nudged to walk in it and manifest what God had promised through Abraham,” he noted.

Expounding on the meaning of blessing, Apostle Dr. Nyamekye described it as fertility of the mind, productivity of the hands, good health, peace, and, above all, the presence of God. “Our forebears believed and sang about the blessing. To be blessed is to have God with you, to have peace, to be fruitful, and to make impact wherever you are,” he emphasized.

He concluded by charging the youth to manifest the blessing through evangelism, pointing out that the true evidence of a blessed life is one that bears fruit for the Kingdom. “The blessing is not meant to be kept but to be shared. Go and make use of what God has placed in you by winning souls,” he urged.

The event, which gathered thousands of young people across the Achimota Area, marked the beginning of a week-long celebration aimed at rekindling the passion for evangelism, discipleship, and service to God.

 Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye Marks 60th Birthday with Market Place Evangelism

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, marked his 60th birthday in an unconventional yet profoundly spiritual way — by taking the gospel to the marketplace.

Instead of hosting a grand celebration or lavish gathering, the revered clergyman chose to spend his special day reaching souls at the Accra business district, where he led a Market Place Evangelism outreach.

The Chairman first made a stop at the Okaishie market, where Elder Dr. Nana Samuel Amo Tobin, National Coordinator for the Ministry to the Marketplace, shared the gospel message, testifying about God’s transformative power. That outreach recorded 22 souls won for Christ.

Apostle Dr. Nyamekye later proceeded to the Kantamanto market, where he and his team ministered to traders and buyers. He prayed for a better national economy and divine protection against fire outbreaks that have often affected major markets across the country.

Apostle Dr. Nyamekye explained that his decision to mark the day with evangelism was motivated by his conviction that sharing the gospel was a birthday gift more valuable than any material celebration. He revealed that the gospel must not be kept within the confines of the church building but taken to where people live and work.

He stressed that the Church should not remain confined within chapel walls but should actively take the message of salvation to the streets and marketplaces. He further indicated that, just as the Apostle Paul preached both in the synagogue and in the market, it was important for the Church today to emulate that example by bringing the good news to where the people are.

Apostle Dr. Nyamekye also shared his personal testimony of how God redeemed him from a lineage of idolatry, emphasizing that death is a reality and that judgment follows after death, hence the urgency of spreading the gospel message.

Also present were several senior ministers of the Church, including Apostle Emmanuel Kwasi Appiah, Evangelism Ministry Director; Apostle Dr. Ebenezer Hagan, Youth Ministry Director; Apostle Anthony Mensah, Chairman of the Workers’ Guild; Pastor Emmanuel Kenin, Workers’ Guild Coordinator; and Elder Dr. Samuel Amo Tobin, Coordinator for Market Place Evangelism.

In total, 55 souls were won for Christ during the evangelism — a fitting testimony to a life dedicated to spreading the gospel.

Live Purposefully, Leave Godly Legacy – Chairman Nyamekye Admonishes Ministers

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has urged ministers of the Church and their wives to live purposeful lives with eternity in mind, reminding them that “life is fleeting” and must be approached with care and godly wisdom.

Delivering the opening address at the 2025 Seminar for Ministers and their Wives who are due to retire by 2035, held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Dr Nyamekye cautioned that a life lived without perspective and balance can lead to unnecessary stress and regret.

“Life is too short and very fleeting,” he said. “If you don’t handle it well, it will leave you depressed—and you may die before your time.”

He emphasised that a purposeful life must always be lived with the end in view. Drawing a vivid metaphor, he stated, “The pace with which you climb a ladder is not the same as when you are descending.”

He explained that ministers must learn to adjust their pace and priorities as they approach retirement, focusing on what truly matters—faith, family, and legacy.

Touching on family life, the Chairman described children as one of life’s greatest blessings and pillars of support after God.

“Our greatest support in life, aside from God, is our children. Take good care of your children; they will hold you when you’re climbing the ladder, and they will give you great support when you’re coming down,” he said.

He, therefore, urged ministers to maintain healthy relationships with their children, investing time, love, and guidance in them while still in active service.

Addressing the inevitability of death, Apostle Dr Nyamekye encouraged participants to put their lives and households in order while they still can, saying, “You may die, but your legacy may continue to live on through others.”

He stressed the need to live simply, appreciate the small things in life, and avoid the trap of comparison.

Concluding his exhortation, the Chairman reminded the retiring ministers and their wives that a fulfilled life is not measured by possessions or position, but by faithfulness, humility, and the enduring impact one leaves behind.
