‘Asanteman Great Gospel Crusade’ Gathers Momentum

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The 2022 All Churches Asanteman Great Gospel Crusade with Evangelist Daniel Kolenda of the Christ for All Nations (CfaN), founded by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, which is expected to take place from November 10-13, 2022, in Kumasi, is gathering momentum as the clergy in Ashanti meet to pray and strategize for the event.

Hundreds of ministers of the gospel from various Christian denominations gathered at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) in Asokwa on Monday, October 10, 2022, to seek the face of God for the upcoming mega crusade.

According to the African Director of the CfaN, Rev. John Darko, about 2millions souls are estimated to be won for Christ during the crusade as 200 evangelists drawn from various parts of the world, supported by their Ghanaian counterparts, will be assembled in the region to spread the gospel to residents.

The Special Guest Speaker at the meeting, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and First Vice President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), speaking on the topic: “The Spiritual Character of the Minister that will Mould the Generation for God” with 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 as his main Bible text, said that though Christians found themselves in different denominations, they are all one in Christ, because “we are all talking about Jesus, the saviour of the world.”

He mentioned that the All Churches Asanteman Great Gospel Crusade will mark the beginning of the revival that we the Christian community is expecting in the country in this generation.

“If you are a minister of the gospel in this generation, then we need to step up our game, because we are living in a perverse generation. The church must sit up,” he said, adding, “Let it be that this crusade will mark the beginning of the revival that we all envisage. There is going to be an influx of souls, but my concern is the hands that will tender them when the crusade is over.”

He said that the light of the world is in jug of clay, but the light must be let out so that it can serve its purpose of shining to the entire world. According to him, the minister of the gospel is the jug in whom God has deposited the treasures of the earth.  

He added that for the world to receive the light and expel darkness, then the life of ministers must be of a concerned to all, saying, “The minister makes the ministry and his whole life is behind the ministry. Ministry then can be said to be an overflow of divine life through mortal vessels.”

For the spiritual life of the minister to mould people for Christ, Apostle Nyamekye asked pastors to allow themselves to be broken by God in their closets (2 Corinthians 4:10-11); impersonate the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 8:20-21); be spiritually receptive (Psalm 27:8); be heroic, thus being compassionate for lost souls, fearless men and women, and ready to thread unfamiliar territories (2 Corinthians 11:24-26 ), be prayerful (Luke 21:37; Luke 22:39; Luke 6:12), and be faithful to the message they preach (2 Corinthians 4:5: 1 Corinthians 2:2.

Present at the meeting were members of the planning committee of the crusade led by Rev. Douglas Frimpong.

by with No Comment AMC-22Moving With ChairmanTop Stories

“Now dearly beloved, the charge has been given, God’s intended purpose for the church has been well defined, our faith has been challenged, our passion has been refueled and from here, I have no doubt that we will think and act differently as ministers of the gospel as we collectively pursue with diligence the purpose of the Church.”

These were the words of Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, as he closed the much-inspired maiden All Ministers’ Conference 2022.

The four-day conference which ended today [Friday, September 16, 2022] at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), at Gomoah-Fetteh, near Kasoa, started on Tuesday, September 13, 2022.

The non-denominational biggest gathering of ministers of the gospel in Ghana was organised by The Church of Pentecost.

In his closing address, Apostle Nyamekye expressed his sincere appreciation to all heads of churches who supported the vision and took time out of their busy schedules to attend the conference with their ministers and resources.

The Chairman iterated that the Lord has been gracious to the participants and the church throughout the period.

“This graciousness was seen through songs, prayer sessions, prophecies and ministrations from our speakers,” he said, adding, “We have been refreshed; we have enjoyed deep fellowship together and I am convinced that we are leaving this conference poised to influence the nation with the invaluable lessons we have received here.”

According to Apostle Nyamekye, the kind of unity exhibited during the conference was enough to show that together, the church of God is a potent force to reckon with.

“If we keep this beautiful fellowship going, we shall become an unstoppable force that the gates of hell cannot contend with,” he stated.

He encouraged all participating Christian leaders to return to their respective churches as a great army sent out into the world to make battle for the Lord.

He added: “With Jesus as our Commander-in-Chief, victory is assured. If God be for us, who can be against us? The Church of God shall be built, the Kingdom of God shall advance, and our nation Ghana shall be transformed.”

About 3,000 ministers drawn from 468 different Christian denominations across the country attended the conference, which was under the theme: “Rediscovering and Fulfilling the Purpose of the Church” – Ephesians 3:10, Titus 2:13-14.

Apostle Nyamekye Charges Church Leaders To Arise And Impact Nations

by with No Comment AMC-22Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has charged church leaders to fulfill their calling by arising as change agents to transform every sphere of society.

According to the Chairman, every generation of Christians determines what type of culture will rule their society and it lies in the hands of the church and Christians to change their nations. But if they fail to accomplish this task, he said, God will raise another generation for this agenda.

“The church is the hope of the manifestation of the glory of God as it is the most powerful institution on earth and the most loved by God because she is the bride of Christ,” he affirmed.

Apostle Nyamekye made this call to church leaders on Friday, September 16, 2022, at the All Ministers’ Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), in Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa.

In a sermon based on Ephesians 3:10-11, Apostle Nyamekye stated that the church is to partner with heaven to control the earth and the heavens since heaven is always waiting for the church to move for a greater impact in transforming societies.

Talking about the zeal and passion of the early church in transforming their nations, Apostle Nyamekye stated that the early church was not a group of people meeting together for God to supply their needs, but their agenda was going into all the world and transforming it for the Lord.

He admonished church leaders not to try building their own churches but step out with Kingdom values and principles and affect every sphere of society.

Chairman Nyamekye further stated that God is not terribly concerned with church size and church ministries, but His concern is that through the Church, nations will walk in righteousness.

“Churches do not exalt nations, it is righteousness that exalts a nation,” he added.

Explaining further, he revealed that the church fulfills its calling when it transforms spheres like government and politics, chieftaincy, business and economy, education and science, media space, culture and entertainment, sports and religion, and the family, among others.

He then admonished Christians to transform the family sphere by intentionally building family altars with consistent family devotions.

“If we manage the family well, we will be saving the next generation and the home should be our first church and a seminary where godly children will be consciously raised for the church and the state,” he ended.

The Salvation Of God Is For All Nations – Apostle Nyamekye

by with No Comment AMC-22Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has stated that the salvation of God is prepared for all nations across the world.

According to the Chairman, when God told Abraham that all nations on earth would be blessed because of him, it was the beginning of the propagation of the gospel, saying, “The gospel is the death of Christ, his burial and his resurrection.”

Apostle Nyamekye made this declaration on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at the maiden All Ministers’ Conference 2022, being held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa.

Speaking on the topic, “The Purpose of The Church: The Jewish Root of Christianity,” Apostle Eric Nyamekye said that God strategically chose the Israelites to reveal Himself through them to the nations.

“Every Israelite male or female has a stake in the kingdom of God,” the Chairman stated, adding that, everyone of them was an agent and priest of God who stood between Him and the people and taught the laws of God to their children.

He said that since God made the Jewish a people of God, a holy nation with the greatest of all, He instructed them to abstain from the pollution of the world.

“Let us follow the pattern in whatever we do and apply them in achieving the purpose of the church,” he charged.

Reading from Deuteronomy 6:1 and 7:1, Apostle Nyamekye disclosed that God deliberately pushed the Israelites into the world to possess and influence the lands, saying, “They were spread widely to disseminate the knowledge that God is one, that people who put their trust in Him will be blessed.”

He then admonished church leaders to be the salt and light of the world in order to heal the land of its corruptible behaviour. He disclosed that the core motive behind God making believers the salt of the earth is to heal the land from all evil.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye further said that the agenda of Jesus Christ was not to save a few people but to build His church and to establish a community for God, while admonishing the clergy to develop the gifts imputed in them having been created to be like God.

God Is Not Enthused About Denominational Differences – Apostle Eric Nyamekye Observes

by with No Comment AMC-22Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

“I don’t think God is terribly enthused about denominational distinctions. Varying denominations may be helpful because human beings differ, and some may prefer a particular style and mode of worship.”

These were the words of Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and Convenor of the first All Ministers’ Conference (non-denominational conference).

Opening the conference on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa in the Central Region, Apostle Nyamekye posited that no one particular denomination has the truth and that the truth is in Christ, who is the truth.

“What we hold are truths about the Truth [Christ]. We need then to pool our truths so that the sum total of our truth will nearly approximate the Truth. With this understanding, let us humbly open up to the Holy Spirit to receive from Him,” he said.

Touching on the theme for the conference, “Rediscovering and Fulfilling the Purpose of the Church” – Ephesians 3:10, Titus 2:13-14, he indicated that the conference’s purpose was to help bring to the fore the understanding of the dual purpose or the dual identity of the Church.

According to him, the Church is called out of the world to belong to God and sent back to the world to witness and to serve His purpose among the nations, saying, “If the Church is able to rediscover its identity as originally given by God in the scriptures and made alive and relevant by the Spirit of God, we could be in the most exciting times in the history of the Church.”

He added: “Everything depends on our ability to understand the Church as it ought to be, our willingness to change where necessary, and above all our determination to keep our lives continually opened to spiritual freshness.”

Explaining the rationale for organising the conference, Apostle Nyamekye pointed out that during a mid-year Executive Council meeting in August 2021, the Lord laid it on the hearts of the executives to organise a conference to share fellowship with all ministers in Ghana.

The vision, he said, was unanimously endorsed by the heads of The Church of Pentecost and subsequently by the General Council, which culminated in his visit to other colleague heads of churches who wholeheartedly accepted it and pledged their unflinching support and participation in the conference.

“And today to the glory of God, the vision the Lord laid on our heart has become a reality,” he said.

He continued: “What a pleasant and beautiful sight to behold, to see the Lord’s army, gathered in one place, not bound by denominational barriers nor separated by doctrine but united in love,” he stressed.

Speakers for the conference include Apostle Eric Nyamekye (Chairman, CoP), Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah (Rtd), immediate past Chairman of CoP and former President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Rev. Prof. Paul Frimpong-Manso (President of the GPCC and immediate past General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana), Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong (former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana), and Apostle Dr. Ami-Narh (President of The Apostle Church).

Others are Very Rev. Prof. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu (President of the Trinity Theological Seminary), Bishop Emmanuel L. Nterful, Pastor E. K. Duodu, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi (General Secretary, CoP), Dr. Joyce Aryee (CEO, Salt and Light Ministry), and Mr.  Samuel Attah-Mensah (General Manager of Citi FM).

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanMoving With GsTop Stories

The Convenor of the maiden All Ministers’ Conference, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has assured that the great power of God will be manifested in the upcoming conference.

The non-denominational conference which is being organised by The Church of Pentecost for Ghanaian ministers of the gospel, takes place from September 13-16, 2022, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa in the Central Region of Ghana.

Apostle Nyamekye, who is the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, believes that God has a purpose for the Church and, through the conference, that purpose will be realised so that the face of Christianity in Ghana will be changed for the better.

Speaking at a 2-day orientation and prayer session for heads and their wives of The Church of Pentecost on Monday, September 12, 2022, towards the All Ministers’ Conference, Apostle Nyamekye disclosed that the conference has been oversubscribed as over 400 different Christian denominations have so far registered their ministers to take part in the event.

Reading from Joshua 10: 40-43, Apostle Nyamekye said that Joshua was able to conquer the strong nations at Kadesh because the Lord fought the battles for him.

Relating it to the enviable position that the Lord has brought The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Nyamekye intimated that God has taken the church from the fringes of society to the limelight.

“God has blessed The Church of Pentecost so much. A church that had no name and respect some years back, is today taking the initiative to organise this big conference for the Christian community in Ghana. This is how great the Lord has made this church.”

“We are not going to teach them how to do or manage their churches; we respect what they are doing. But we want to forge together as a unit to build the body of Christ.”

The All Ministers’ Conference is on the theme: “Rediscovering and Fulfilling the Purpose of the Church” – Ephesians 3:10, Titus 2:13-14.

Believers Youth Forum Hands Over Members, Facilities To The Church Of Pentecost

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

A total of 80 members, comprising 50 adults and 30 children, and facilities of the Believers Youth Forum (BYF), an evangelistic and prayer ministry at Tsikpe in the Volta Region of Ghana, have been handed over to The Church of Pentecost by the leader, Reverend Mrs Hetty Appah.

The facilities are made up of a church auditorium with a youth conference hall, children’s and nursing mothers’ rooms, washrooms, a set of drums, furniture, two speakers, a summer hat, and a pumping machine with an overhead poly tank.

Others are a three-bedroom self-contained apartment, 6 plots of cassava farm, a parcel of land measuring 101.49 acres with coconut and palm plantations, and Information Centre Equipment.

The historic ceremony was held on Friday, September 2, 2022, at Tsikpe, in the Juapong District of the Agormanya Area of The Church of Pentecost.

Among those present were the Agormanya Area Head and his wife, Apostle Samuel and Mrs Grace Gakpetor, Rev. Mrs Hetty Appah and family, Pastor Joseph Anenyah Ntoso (Juapong District Minister), Elder William Asare-Gyapong (Area Deacon), Deaconess Janet Naatey (Area Women’s Ministry Leader), and some ministers and their wives in the Area.

The Akrade District Minister of the church, Pastor Joseph Kwadwo Tawiah, quoting from Ephesians 6:10-12, Isaiah 5:6-7, Mark 11:17, stated that prayer is a weapon for possessing the nations which must be done effectively.

He spoke on the topic, “My House Shall Be Called A House Of Prayer to Possess the Nations.”

Pastor Tawiah stressed that just as the early church prayed in Acts 2:42, Christians must also be steadfast and tarry in prayer for it to yield results.

“One of the topics under this year’s theme is intercessory prayers. It is my hope that this place shall be a place of intercessory prayers,” he said.

Concluding, Pastor Tawiah urged that a good maintenance culture must be developed in taking care of the donated facilities, saying, “When the eye sees, the leg must move and hands must touch, hence maintenance should be our priority.”

In a brief speech, Rev. Mrs Hetty Appah, Leader of Believers Youth Forum, expressed her joy in accomplishing such a gesture, because it was a revelation from God to her.

“I strongly believe that The Church of Pentecost will greatly utilise the facilities to affect the lives of generations positively,” she stressed.

Receiving the items on behalf of The Church of Pentecost, the Agormanya Area Head, Apostle Samuel Gakpetor, expressed his appreciation to Rev. Mrs Hetty and her family for their thoughtful gesture, adding that the facilities will go a long way to help the church, especially as it seeks to possess the nations.

To cater for the spiritual and welfare needs of the former members of the Believers Youth Forum (BYF), a local assembly named Tsikpe No. 2 Assembly, has been created and consequently inaugurated, under the Juapong District of the Church.

A ten-member board chaired by Apostle Sylvester Arhin (Executive Council Member and Tamale Area Head) of The Church of Pentecost has been inaugurated to oversee the operations of the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), a multi-purpose Christian retreat and event centre, located at Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa.

Other members of the board are Apostle James Kwabena Asare (Kasoa Area Head), Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko (Finance and Administration Director of the church), Pastor Prince Odoom (Centre Manager), and Pastor James Orhin Agyin (Projects Development & Estate Manager of the church).

The rest are Elder Robert Mensah (PIWC-Sunyani), Elder Augustine Sarpong (PIWC-Atomic), Lawyer Benjamin Ampoma-Boateng (PIWC-Kokomlemle), Deaconess Mary Ankomah Sarpong (Madina District) and Mrs Diana Frema Nyarko (Headquarters).

Inaugurating the board at the General Headquarters of the church at La, Accra on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, thanked members of the board for accepting to serve the church in that capacity.

According to the Chairman, though they were carefully chosen based on their expertise and experiences, they should see it as pure grace, having been selected out of the millions of members to contribute their quota to the growth of the church.

He noted that The Church of Pentecost is doing great largely due to the fervent prayers coupled with laid-down administrative structures.

He said that boards and committees are some of the structures that are helping the church to thrive.

Apostle Nyamekye charged the board to bring to bear their rich knowledge, expertise and experiences to take the PCC to another level.

He further urged them to ensure that the purpose of constructing the Convention Centre is kept in focus.

“The Pentecost Convention Centre was built for a purpose. The purpose is to make the place a retreat centre. Therefore, the ambiance at the place should look like a Christian retreat centre, and the presence of God should be felt there,” he said, adding, “This purpose must be jealously guarded.”

Reading from Ephesians 4:16, he entreated them to work in love and collaboration with other sectors of the church.

In response, the Board Chairman, Apostle Sylvester Arhin, gave thanks to God for the opportunity to serve the church. He promised to bring their God-given knowledge and expertise to bear to effectively run the Centre.

He also commended his predecessors for the good work done.

As part of the functions of the board, it is to develop policies that will help the Centre Manager to manage and run the facility in a sustainable manner; publicise the existence of the Centre to engender greater patronage, and make the place secure and user-friendly to patrons.

In attendance were Apostles Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi and Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, the General Secretary and the International Missions Director of the church, respectively.

History was made in the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) as Apostle Immanuel Nii Okuley Tettey, Director of Administration of The Apostolic Church-Ghana, was inducted into the office of General Secretary of the Council.

Apostle Immanuel Nii Okuley Tettey takes over from Reverend Dr. Emmanuel Teimah Barrigah of the Global Evangelical Church, who has served the Council for the past five years.

A memorable farewell and induction service was held on Saturday, August 27, 2022, at the Global Evangelical Church, Adonai Chapel in Madina.

In his welcome address, the President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), who doubles as the President of Assemblies of God Ghana, Rev. Prof. Paul Frimpong-Manso revealed that with the support of the National Executive Council, the transformational leadership of Rev. Dr. Barrigah did not only unite the churches but impacted positively in the close working relationships with Sister Councils.

“During the campaign for the “Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill” you worked together with promoters of the Bill to mobilise the GPCC family across the country to present Memoranda, including your physical appearance at the Parliamentary Select Committee’s sittings to defend our position in favour of the Bill,” Rev. Prof. Frimpong-Manso added.

Sermon

Delivering the sermon on the topic, “The True Value Of Our Work Is With The Lord,” the 2nd Vice President of GPCC, who doubles as Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye admonished the clergy to eschew unnecessary complaints associated with their ministries and work in the Lord.

“Stop complaining, you may never know how far reaching the river of life in you is flowing and who it is blessing,” Apostle Nyamekye cautioned, urging them to be fountains through which the life of Jesus can flow through like rivers of waters to bless others. 

The Chairman further said that to fulfil God’s assignment on earth, Christians must stay connected to Jesus, the source of the living water, so that the rivers of life will constantly flow through them in blessing others, adding, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

He, then, encouraged Rev. Dr. Barrigah and Apostle Tettey to look up to God and not to men who only distract the call of God.
