The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has entreated Christians to embrace fasting and fervent prayer as a powerful response to the growing social vices confronting society.

Speaking at the ongoing Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) Ghana Conference at the University of Cape Coast, Apostle Obuobi, who preached on the theme: “Transforming Society through the Power of Fasting and Prayer,” lamented what he described as a “perverse world” characterised by rising sexual immorality, drug abuse, corruption, and increasing attacks on Christianity.

He noted that the gravity of these challenges demands more than mere rhetoric, urging believers to engage in deliberate fasting and consistent prayer to effect societal change.

Quoting Esther 4:16, Apostle Obuobi noted that prayer and fasting remain vital spiritual keys entrusted to the Church, saying, “We have a key in our hands, and that key is prayer and fasting. If we can fast and pray, then we will be able to change society.”

He referenced the early Church in Antioch, which fasted and prayed before experiencing divine direction and breakthrough, stressing that through prayer and fasting, strongholds can be torn down.

According to him, such spiritual discipline enables the Church to “bring down the Kingdom of God and enforce His will on earth.”

Apostle Obuobi further underscored the need for fervency and consistency in prayer, citing James 5:16, and called on believers to remain persistent in seeking God.

He explained that true societal transformation is only possible when the Church responds to God’s call for fervent and unwavering prayer.

Drawing from Jonah 3:10, he concluded that no level of corruption or moral depravity is beyond redemption, insisting that “if we rise in fasting and prayer, we can change society.”

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reaffirmed that Jesus Christ remains God’s ultimate solution to the darkness confronting the world. He made this declaration while continuing his Christmas Convention activities at the Dwenho District in the Agona Swedru Area.

Preaching on the theme “Great Light for People in Darkness,” Apostle Obuobi explained that the world has been plunged into darkness through sin, Satan’s influence, spiritual blindness, and death, all of which began after the fall of man. He cited Isaiah 9:2 to emphasise that the birth of Christ ushered divine light into a world walking in despair.

According to him, Jesus did not only proclaim Himself as the Light of the world but demonstrated it through His life, ministry, and acts of compassion, including healing those oppressed by the devil. He referenced biblical accounts such as the demon-possessed man of Gadara to illustrate Christ’s power to liberate humanity from absolute darkness.

Apostle Obuobi noted that through the Gospel, believers receive the life of Christ, which becomes light within them. He stressed that accepting Jesus brings transformation, direction, and victory over darkness, urging all to embrace Christ as the source of true life and hope.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reaffirmed the exclusive role of Jesus Christ as the only source of salvation for humanity, urging Christians to anchor their faith firmly in Christ, especially during the Christmas season.

Speaking at the Osu Central Assembly during a service that marked the beginning of his 2025 Christmas Convention activities, Apostle Obuobi preached on the theme “Born a Saviour.” He explained that while many people seek redemption through human efforts, moral achievements or alternative spiritual paths, the Bible clearly teaches that salvation cannot be attained through any other means apart from Jesus Christ.

Quoting scriptures including Psalm 49:7–8 and Acts 4:12, Apostle Obuobi noted that no human being has the capacity to redeem another because the cost of salvation is beyond human ability. According to him, God’s decision to send His Son was the only solution to humanity’s sinful condition.

He further explained that Jesus Christ is uniquely qualified to save because of His deity and virgin birth, describing Him as God incarnate who came from above to redeem mankind. The General Secretary emphasised that Christmas is not merely a festive celebration, but a divine reminder of God’s sacrificial love expressed through the birth of His Son.

Apostle Obuobi challenged believers to move beyond routine celebrations and renew their personal commitment to Christ, stressing that true salvation results in transformed lives marked by obedience, humility and love for others.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on church leaders to rise to their divine mandate of raising Spirit-filled disciples who will transform their communities and advance the ‘Unleashing Agenda’ of the Church.

Speaking on the topic, “Raising Spirit-Filled Disciples for the Unleashing Agenda: The Role of the Local Church” at the Heads’ Prayer Meeting at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Obuobi said the vision to “possess the nations” involves the active participation of the entire global Church.

“Every believer must be unleashed into their community to influence it for Christ. Discipleship must therefore become the core responsibility of every local church,” he asserted.

He explained that discipleship is not optional, but a sacred mandate rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–19).

“The intention of Jesus was not merely to raise converts but disciples – followers who become like Him in thought, word, and deed,” he said.

Citing Apostle Jude Hama (Former General Director of Scripture Union Ghana), he described a disciple as a follower who actively obeys the teachings of Christ, a learner in continuous spiritual growth, an adherent whose loyalty to Christ is unquestionable, and an apprentice who longs to be with and learn from Jesus, saying, “Discipleship is a lifelong journey; no one graduates from it.”

Apostle Obuobi stressed that the Church’s goal is not to raise churchgoers but Spirit-filled believers who walk in step with the Holy Spirit, bearing His fruit as outlined in Galatians 5:22, Colossians 3:13–14, and 2 Peter 1:5–7.

“Spirit-filled disciples understand God’s will and act on it with boldness,” he said, adding that such believers reflect the very character of Christ.

He gave four reasons believers must bear the fruit of the Spirit: there is no law against it; it makes them effective; it keeps them from stumbling; and it ensures a rich welcome into heaven (2 Peter 1:10–11).

Quoting C. S. Lewis, he reminded the Church that its ultimate purpose is “to draw men into Christ and make them little Christs.”

This, he said, is achieved through intentional discipleship and small group systems like home cells, Bible study meetings, and squads that foster accountability, intimacy, and growth.

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi urged churches to sustain fervent prayer, authentic fellowship, and a teaching pattern that nurtures maturity.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, on Saturday, 1st November 2025, graced the grand opening and dedication of the Ghanaian-German Specialist Hospital (GGSH) at Sapeiman-Macedonia, Wachild Estate, in Accra.

The 130-bed ultra-modern facility, described as a solidarity hospital, was constructed through the vision and leadership of Dr (Med) and Dr (Ger) Samuel Oduro Okae — a Senior Trauma and Orthopaedics Consultant with DGD-Hospital in Germany and a member of The Church of Pentecost, PIWC Dortmund.

The project was made possible through the donations and collaboration of several German and Ghanaian partners and friends, reflecting a shared commitment to improving healthcare access in Ghana.

The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh; the Former Honorary Consul of Ghana in Dortmund, Germany, H.E. Klaus Wegner; Member of Parliament, Hon. Sedem Kweku Afenyo; and the Municipal Chief Executive of the Ga West Municipal Assembly, Hon. John Desmond Sowah Nai.

In his remarks, Apostle Obuobi lauded Dr Okae’s commitment to advancing healthcare delivery, describing the establishment of GGSH as a demonstration of the Church’s mission to influence every sphere of society under the “Possessing the Nations” vision.

He encouraged the staff of the facility to see their work as a continuation of Christ’s healing ministry, calling for professionalism, empathy, and a spirit of service.

The Minister of Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, commended Dr Okae for his bold initiative and contribution to Ghana’s healthcare system. He reiterated government’s readiness to partner with the private sector in expanding health infrastructure and improving healthcare delivery across the country.

He further urged the hospital staff — and all health workers nationwide — to treat patients with care and compassion. The Minister also encouraged citizens to make use of medical facilities for their health needs rather than relying solely on prayers for healing.

Dr Okae expressed gratitude to God, his family, and all who supported the project, noting that the hospital’s mission is to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare services to Ghanaians.

The Ghanaian-German Specialist Hospital stands as a symbol of faith-inspired innovation, global partnership, and compassion, marking a new milestone in Ghana’s healthcare transformation.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has highlighted the boundless power and living nature of God’s Word, describing it as “a dynamic and life-transforming force that sustains all creation.”

Speaking on the topic “The Word of God Is Power,” on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at the Mount Olives Worship Centre in the Odorkor Area of the Church, Apostle Obuobi drew his key texts from Hebrews 1:1–3 and Hebrews 4:12, emphasizing that “we serve a God who speaks.”

“The gods of other people cannot hear and cannot speak,” he explained. “But our God speaks, and He sustains everything by the power of His Word. The reason everything in creation remains intact is because something is holding everything together – that is the power of the Word.”

He noted that the Word of God is not dead or inactive but “a living reality.”

“The Word of God is alive and powerful,” he said. “It is dynamic, not static; active, not quiet. It is ever at work, not dormant or ineffective. The Word is immanent and ever-present, not silent or distant.”

According to the General Secretary, the Word of God must be understood as a ‘Person’ and not merely as words or symbols on a page.

“The Word of God is Jesus Himself,” Apostle Obuobi stated, referencing Revelation 19:11–13. “To underestimate the power of the Word is to underestimate the power of God, because the Word of God carries the very power of God.”

Citing John 6:63, he continued, “The Word is Spirit and life. Once you embrace the Word of God, you are embracing the Spirit – and you are embracing life itself.”

He further explained that the Word of God has power to convict, regenerate, and cleanse.

“When you encounter the Word, it convicts you of sin and reveals who you truly are,” he said. “Through the Word, we are regenerated, given new birth that comes not from the womb but from the Spirit.”

Apostle Obuobi referenced 1 Peter 1:23 to describe the Word as an imperishable seed that brings spiritual rebirth.

“Every born-again Christian has two births; the natural and the spiritual. The Holy Spirit quickens the Word received by the heart to bring restoration,” he added.

He also highlighted the role of the Word in producing faith.

“Faith is not produced by social media or the news,” he said. “Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). That is why we must feed on the Word daily.”

Touching on the cleansing and healing power of the Word, Apostle Obuobi urged believers to continually “wash themselves with the Word.”

“Within the Word is the power to cleanse and make us whole,” he said, citing Ephesians 5:25–26. “If we want to remain spiritually clean, we must stay in the Word always.”

He concluded that the Word of God brings life where there is death and healing where there is pain.

“Anytime there is an encounter with the Word, death goes away,” Apostle Obuobi affirmed, adding; “The Word of God brings life, brings healing, and brings transformation.”

Present at the service were Apostle Isaac Tetteh Juddah (Odorkor Area Head); Pastor Felix Dela Klutse (Director, Pent Media Centre/Resident Minister, Mount Olives Worship Centre); Pastor Alexander Nyame (National Coordinator, Ministry to Persons With Disabilities); Pastor Dr. Ebenezer Tetteh Kpalam (Resident Minister, Love Worship Centre), and their wives.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has affirmed that through the power of the Holy Spirit, every believer has the divine capacity to live above sin and walk in true spiritual freedom.

Speaking at a spirit-filled communion service at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC)–Tesano on Sunday, 2 November 2025, Apostle Obuobi, accompanied by his wife, Mrs Juliana Korkor Oboubi, preached on the theme “The Two Laws”, drawing from Romans 8:1–2.

He explained that believers are no longer bound by the law of sin and death, which once enslaved humanity, but have been set free by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. According to him, the power of the Holy Spirit now enables Christians to resist sin and live victoriously.

Apostle Obuobi likened the struggle with sin to the force of gravity that constantly pulls everything downward. However, he noted that just as aerodynamics enables an aircraft to rise above gravity, the Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome sin’s pull and soar in righteousness.

He further illustrated this truth by comparing Christ’s redemptive work on the cross to the repeal of an old law. “When Jesus died, He repealed the law of sin and death and enacted a new one — the law of the Spirit of life. This new law gives us power over sin,” he said.

Apostle Obuobi emphasised that this divine law is written not on tablets of stone but in the hearts of believers. Through the indwelling Spirit, Christians can live righteous, Christ-like lives.

The communion service concluded in an atmosphere of gratitude, as worshippers celebrated the liberating truth that in Christ, sin no longer has dominion over them.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on believers to boldly share their personal encounters with Christ as a testimony of God’s transforming power and mercy.

He made this call when he joined the Labone Central and English Assemblies for a joint service to climax the 2025 National Youth Week Celebration on Sunday October 26,2025.

Preaching on the theme “Go and Tell”, with references from Mark 5:19–20, Apostle Obuobi highlighted that Jesus’ instruction to the man delivered from demonic possession was a call to every believer to testify of what the Lord has done. “The man wanted to follow Jesus, but he was rather told to go back home and tell his friends how much the Lord had done for him and how He had shown him mercy,” he explained.

He emphasized that evangelism begins with personal testimony, not complex theology, and that every believer is a witness of God’s goodness. “Going to tell does not require formal training; it requires a genuine experience with Jesus,” he added.

Also present at the service were the Director of the Youth Ministry, Apostle Dr. Ebenezer Hegan, the Adabraka District Pastor, Pastor Emmanuel Osei Agyapong, and the Labone District Pastor, Pastor Augustine Dorman-Kantiampong.

The climax service featured vibrant performances including spoken word, drama, and choreography, all centered on the “Go and Tell” message. The event concluded with a renewed sense of commitment among the youth to share the gospel and live out the Great Commission in their daily lives.

The 2025 National Youth Week Celebration, observed nationwide under the theme “Unleashed to Go and Tell,” seeks to ignite a movement of young believers who boldly proclaim the saving grace of Christ.
