The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has emphasised the transformative power of the word of God, stating that it has the capacity to change not only individuals but also cultures and societal systems.

Speaking on the theme, “The Seed Is the Word,” during a service at the Lakeside Central and English Assemblies in the Kete-Krachi Area on Thursday, June 11, 2026, Apostle Nyamekye noted that God’s Word remains the primary instrument through which He builds, blesses, and prospers His people.

According to him, faith in the word of God positions both individuals and communities for divine prosperity and lasting impact. He cited the example of King David’s final charge to Solomon in 1 Kings 2:1-3, stressing that David’s instruction to keep the law of the Lord underscores the importance of obedience to God’s commands.

Apostle Nyamekye further highlighted the inclusive nature of the gospel, explaining that regardless of one’s background, sin, or past mistakes, Christ extends an open invitation to all who are burdened and in need of rest.

Referencing Acts 20:32, he stated that the word of God has the power to build believers up and grant them an inheritance among those who are sanctified. He reiterated that the Church does not rely on charms, magical substances, or ritual objects but on the preaching of God’s word and faith in Jesus Christ, who alone performs miracles.

“The word of God is both truth and grace,” he explained, adding that believers who walk in God’s truth experience His grace, which enables them to prosper and fulfil His purposes. Quoting John 1:14, he reminded the congregation that Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth.

The Chairman described the word of God as the most valuable inheritance that one generation can pass on to another. He noted that those who treasure God’s instructions, obey them, and allow them to shape their lives will increasingly reflect God’s character and enjoy true prosperity.

Encouraging believers to develop a deeper appreciation for Scripture, Apostle Nyamekye said that hearing and embracing the Word brings blessing and transformation. He urged Christians to prioritise fellowship and pay close attention to biblical teachings whenever they gather in worship.

Drawing lessons from the life of Abraham, he observed that obedience to God’s word can sometimes be painful and demanding. He, however, stressed that God’s grace accompanies those who choose obedience, even when it requires sacrifice.

Apostle Nyamekye also encouraged families to make the word of God the foundation of their homes, marriages, and child upbringing. He advised business people to conduct their affairs with integrity and moderation rather than pursuing excessive profit at the expense of others, assuring them that God’s blessing follows those who honour His principles.

He concluded by reminding the congregation that every encounter with the word of God is an encounter with Christ Himself. He, therefore, urged believers to open their hearts to God’s word, embrace its teachings, and allow it to shape their future.

“From today, change your attitude towards the word of God,” he charged, expressing confidence that those who receive and obey God’s word will experience His grace, power, and blessing in every area of life.

Present at the service were Apostle Benjamin Quaye Offei-Badu (National Coordinator, Home and Urban Missions); Pastor Charles K. Fosu (Kete-Krachi Area Head); pastors in the Krachi Zone, government officials, traditional rulers and the church populace.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has urged Christians to make it their foremost priority to know, live, and proclaim the principles and values of the Kingdom of God.

Delivering the sermon on Friday, June 13, 2026, at the Dambai Lakeside Central Assembly in the Nkwanta Area of the Church, Apostle Nyamekye explained that believers, having been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God, must embrace the lifestyle of the new Kingdom.

“Our priority and pursuit as people of God is to know the principles and values of the Kingdom of God, live by them, and proclaim them,” he stated.

He explained that the Kingdom of God operates under a different authority, with its own rules, values, lifestyle, and ruler. Therefore, Christians must resist the temptation to carry the practices of their former life into their new walk with Christ.

“In this new Kingdom, we no longer live as wicked people under the authority of Satan. You do not translate the lifestyle of darkness into the light; rather, you shine your light in the darkness. When you come into the light, proclaim it and live it out,” he stressed.

Apostle Nyamekye further noted that the gospel, when genuinely embraced and demonstrated through transformed lives, possesses the power to bring about societal transformation.

“When we proclaim the gospel and live out the new life in Christ, it has the power to transform society. People are watching us, wanting to find out whether we are genuine and truly saved,” he said.

According to him, despite the challenges confronting nations across the world, hope remains because the

message of salvation can bring lasting change.

“Every country has a shadow story, but it does not matter. Change is possible through the gospel of salvation,” he affirmed.

Present at the service were Apostle Benjamin Quaye Offei-Badu, National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM); Apostle Seth Dwamena Asante, Nkwanta Area Head; Apostle Semenya Yao Dogbe, Hohoe Area Head; Apostle Charles K. Fosu, Kete-Krachi Area Head; members of the Local Council of Churches, the Area pastorate, and a large congregation of worshippers.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has stated that believers are God’s method of evangelism. It is therefore incumbent upon them to influence and transform their spheres with Kingdom principles and Values.

According to him, new creations are ministers of the Gospel outside the four walls of the Church, which is an approach used by God to propel the Good News through the Spirit’s empowerment for transformation.

He revealed that God has made believers light and sent them to expel darkness, therefore, it is inexcusable for one to focus on his profession alone and skip the divine mandate of godly influence.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost was speaking at the Built Environment, Engineers and Artisans Conference 2026 at the Asokwa McKeown Worship Centre in Kumasi on Friday, June 19, 2026.

The conference, under the auspices of The Church of Pentecost Men’s Ministry (PEMEM), in collaboration with the Workers’ Guild involved professionals, engineers, and artisans in the built environment designed to equip and unleash for societal transformation.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye disclosed that calling for transformation in the world, which begins at one’s workplace, requires systematic efforts to strategically unleash people.

 He explained that the Church has been intentionally unleashed as a factor of change to the world emphasising that the Church through its lay leaders is committed to the course to transform the world.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye noted that workers are carriers of the Gospel, which has the power to transform lives. Therefore, as agents of transformation, their focus is to impact lives wherever they find themselves.

“Because of the Gospel and the Spirit’s power, we can transform society. The Church will not teach you how to become an engineer, but it will teach the engineer with the principles and values of the Kingdom to transform,” he added.

The Chairman referenced the basic teachings of the Protestants which emphasized that all believers are Priests, thus equality before God, surrounded by the values and principles of God; Justice, and equality in the distribution of wealth, and Strong advocacy on the integrity of one’s work.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has posited that the enduring strength and future of the Church depend on its commitment to the Word of God.

According to him, while philosophies, traditions, and human opinions may change with time, the Scriptures remain the surest foundation for preserving the Church across generations.

He made this assertion when he delivered the sermon on the topic, “The Seed Is the Word,” at the Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) Auditorium of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), on Sunday, June 7, 2026.

He noted that while the Church may not have direct control over an individual’s genetic makeup or circumstances, the word of God a powerful tool capable of bringing lasting transformation.

“A person’s behaviour is influenced by what they feed on. The greatest weapon we have is what the individual consumes. When we feed on the Word of God, we can change the individual through the gospel,” he stated.

The Chairman noted that the Church’s numerous social interventions and partnerships are aimed at improving communities are not merely acts of philanthropy. According to him, the interventions are part of a holistic mission to create environments where people can flourish.

He, however, stressed that true and lasting transformation begins with the renewal of the human heart through God’s word.

Referencing Colossians 2:8, Apostle Nyamekye cautioned believers against allowing their minds to be dominated by human philosophies and deceptive teachings. He urged ministers and church leaders to teach sound biblical doctrine, emphasising that the safest way to preserve the Church across generations is to anchor it firmly in the word of God rather than in arguments or philosophies.

Touching on the Church’s 2026 theme, “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit,” he explained that societal transformation begins with transformed individuals. He pointed out that society comprises people and the systems that govern them, making the gospel the primary instrument for genuine and sustainable change.

“The key to the transformation of persons and society is the word of God, which is referred to in the 2026 theme as the gospel,” he said.

Drawing lessons from Mark 4:13-19, Apostle Nyamekye explained that the devil persistently attacks the Word because of its power to save, liberate, and transform lives.

“When the Word is planted in you, it can set you free. That is what the devil does not want,” he remarked, adding that the power of God’s word must never be underestimated.

Quoting Hebrews 1:3, he further highlighted the sustaining power of the Word, noting that God not only created all things through His Word but continues to uphold the universe by it.

“He sustains marriages, businesses, vocations and all things by His powerful Word,” he emphasised.

Apostle Nyamekye expressed concern that many Christians continue to struggle with fear, anxiety, and spiritual stagnation because they neglect the discipline of studying and applying God’s word in their daily lives.

Concluding with Acts 20:32, Apostle Nyamekye encouraged believers to remain devoted to Scripture, assuring them that the word of God possesses the power to build them up, shape their thinking, and position them for their inheritance in Christ.

“The word of God can build you up; it will teach you how to think,” he concluded. Present at the service were Mrs Mary Nyamekye (Wife of the Chairman), Apostle Dr Ebenezer Hagan (Youth Director) and his wife, Priscilla; Apostle Daniel Nii Tackie Tetteh (Winneba Area Head); the Area pastorate, PENSA UEW leadership and the student populace.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has charged ministers and church officers to make meaningful contributions to the growth and impact of the Church, stressing that their appointment must result in positive transformation wherever they serve.

Speaking at a meeting with ministers and officers of the Winneba Area at the Hallelujah Temple in Winneba on Saturday evening, June 6, 2026, he emphasised that effective leadership is measured not by position but by the value one adds to the Church and society through skill, attitude, and godly character.

“We want to be very effective,” he said. “You should justify your inclusion. Your local assembly should be blessed because of you. Those who appointed you should be happy, and the Lord Almighty should be glorified through your service.”

Defining effectiveness as the ability to accomplish a purpose and produce the intended result, he cited Acts 6:1-7, where the appointment of seven men to oversee the daily distribution of food resolved a challenge in the early Church and contributed to its growth.

“Their inclusion brought change,” he noted. “When your impact is positive, you are effective. When it is otherwise, you become destructive.”

According to the Chairman, three key qualities are essential for effective ministry: skill, attitude, and character.

Speaking on skill, Apostle Nyamekye explained that it is developed through knowledge, training, and consistent practice. Referencing Psalm 78:71-72, he noted that King David successfully led God’s people because he combined integrity of heart with skilful hands.

“Once you are made a leader, you need to acquire skills,” he stressed,“ he said, adding, “A gift alone is not enough. Training and diligence sharpen the gift.”

Drawing from 1 Timothy 4:14-15, he emphasised that diligence is the pathway to skill development and the maximisation of God-given grace.

“If we lose diligence, we lose skill and eventually become redundant,” he cautioned, stressing that skill attracts rewards and increases effectiveness in ministry.

On attitude, Apostle Nyamekye described it as the mindset that influences how individuals respond to situations and people. He urged leaders to be mindful of their attitudes, noting that it often determines whether people are drawn to them or repelled.

“Good attitude calls for a lot of sacrifice,” he said. Quoting leadership expert Max Lucado, he added: “Rules without relationship build rebellion.”

He encouraged officers and ministers to demonstrate positive attitudes toward church policies, finances, time management, the elderly, and members of the opposite sex.

“Treat women as sisters in all purity,” he advised, referencing 1 Timothy 5:1-2.

The Chairman further highlighted the importance of character, urging leaders to maintain high moral standards and live exemplary lives worthy of emulation.

“As an officer, there are certain lines you should not cross,” he stated. “Whether your wife is watching or not, the Almighty God is watching.”

He concluded by encouraging ministers and officers to conduct themselves in integrity so that church members can confidently follow their examples.

“Have good character as an officer so that members can read you like a Bible,” he said.

Present at the service were the wife of the Chairman, Mrs Mary Nyamekye; Apostle Dr Ebenezer Hagan (Youth Director); Apostle Daniel Nii Tetteh Tackie (Winneba Area Head) among others.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has urged staff of Zoomlion Kenya to prioritise competence, integrity and faithfulness as the company deepens its operations in East Africa.

Addressing workers and management during a visit to the company’s Nairobi facility on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Apostle Nyamekye said sustainable national and corporate development depends not merely on natural resources, but on sound governance systems, disciplined work ethics and quality human capital.

According to him, countries that have attained prosperity did so through effective policies and principled leadership, stressing that competence and moral integrity must remain central to recruitment and leadership decisions.

“Faithfulness is a universal principle that transcends religion,” he stated, adding that integrity remains one of the rarest yet most valuable assets in business and public life.

Apostle Nyamekye encouraged the staff to remain committed to the company’s vision and work collectively towards ensuring the success of Zoomlion’s operations in Kenya and beyond. He noted that organisations that combine professionalism with integrity are better positioned for sustainable growth and long-term relevance.

The visit formed part of ongoing engagements following Zoomlion’s recent entry into Kenya’s waste management sector. Also present were Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group, and other management members of the Group who had participated in the two-day Africa Forward Summit held in Nairobi from May 11–12, 2026.

Highlighting the global reach of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Nyamekye disclosed that the church currently operates in 211 nations and territories worldwide. He said the church’s international growth demonstrates what can be achieved when institutions remain focused on clear principles and mission-driven leadership.

Reflecting on his relationship with Dr. Siaw Agyepong dating back to the 1990s, Apostle Nyamekye recounted witnessing the modest beginnings of Zoomlion in Ghana, including the commissioning of one of its early facilities. He expressed appreciation for the company’s transformation from a small sanitation enterprise into a major force within Ghana’s environmental management sector.

Referencing Joshua 1:3, he urged employees to view their assignment in Kenya as purposeful and strategic. “When you set your foot at a place, who possess it,” he stated.

Providing an operational update, Zoomlion Kenya’s Director of Operations, Dr. Peter Dagadu, said the company has made significant progress within four months of commencing operations in Nairobi.

According to him, Zoomlion is collaborating with city authorities to implement an integrated waste management system aimed at improving sanitation and public health outcomes.

He disclosed that Nairobi previously had approximately 409 illegal dump sites, many of which are currently being cleared as part of the company’s intervention. He explained that Zoomlion has upgraded access roads and reorganised operations to support round-the-clock waste handling and transportation to designated disposal sites.

Dr. Dagadu further revealed that the disposal site, which previously handled about 100 tonnes of waste daily, now processes more than 832 tonnes weekly. He added that the company is targeting the clearance of all identified illegal dump sites within 90 days.

He also announced plans to introduce a secondary waste collection system and construct a 3,500-tonne waste processing plant at Muraai, expected to be commissioned by the end of November 2026 to support recycling and resource recovery initiatives.

Meanwhile, Kimani Ichung’wah, Majority Leader in Kenya’s Parliament, paid a courtesy call on the delegation and described the engagement as a strong example of intra-African collaboration, investment and partnership.

In his remarks, Dr. Siaw Agyepong attributed Zoomlion’s expansion into Kenya and other African countries to strategic leadership and divine guidance. He stated that the company’s recent participation in international summits and engagements with African leaders has created new opportunities for growth across the continent.

He reaffirmed Zoomlion’s commitment to delivering sustainable environmental solutions that support cleaner cities and improved public health outcomes throughout Africa.

The visit concluded with prayers and thanksgiving songs as management and staff expressed optimism about the company’s growth prospects in Kenya and its broader continental expansion agenda.
