Jesus Is The Only Door To Salvation – Apostle Samuel Obuobi Asserts

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has reaffirmed that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

During a Gospel Sunday service with the Bethel Assembly in the New Juaben District today, he stressed that faith in Jesus is the only means by which humanity can be reconciled with God.

Referencing John 14:6, he declared, “Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”

The General Secretary explained that there is no alternative path to salvation, underscoring that Jesus is the sole mediator between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5-6).

Apostle Obuobi elaborated on the importance of salvation, tracing its origins to the Garden of Eden when mankind first disobeyed God.

He explained that Adam and Eve’s disobedience caused separation from God, which led to death and the loss of their glory. “By obeying the devil instead of God, Adam and Eve honoured Satan, and this act of disobedience resulted in the fall of mankind,” he said.

However, he pointed out that through Jesus, the door of salvation remains open to all who come to Him in faith.

“Jesus is the access point to eternal life. He is open to all who believe,” he said, citing John 10:9.

He reminded the congregation that Jesus is not only the exclusive way to salvation, but also the only means of reconciliation with God.

Apostle Obuobi warned that the opportunity for salvation will not last forever.

Drawing from Luke 13:25-27, he cautioned that the door to salvation will one day be closed. “When the rapture comes or when death strikes, the door to salvation will be closed, and there will be no further opportunity.”

He concluded by urging everyone to seize the opportunity to enter through the door of salvation while it is still open, for Jesus is the only way to eternal life.

Don’t Honour Satan By Disobeying God – Apostle Samuel Obuobi Tells Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has emphasized that disobedience to God inadvertently honours the devil.

“Whenever you believe in anything over God’s word, you invite trouble,” Apostle Obuobi said. “By obeying the devil, Adam and Eve honoured him, and their disobedience to God resulted in separation from God, bringing death and loss of glory.”

He made this remark during a fellowship with members of the Bethel Assembly in the New Juaben District of The Church of Pentecost on Gospel Sunday.

Speaking on the topic “The Door of Salvation,” Apostle Obuobi used John 10:9 as a key scripture reference, explaining that the need for salvation began in the Garden of Eden, when man first disobeyed God’s command.

He highlighted that God’s creation was perfect until Adam and Eve chose to believe the devil over God’s word.

He emphasized that Jesus Christ is the only door to salvation, citing John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Apostle Obuobi reminded the congregation that there is no other way to be saved—Jesus alone is the mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5-6).

“The testimony of God is that eternal life is found in His Son alone,” he stated. “Jesus is the exclusive way to salvation, but He is open to all who call on His name in faith (Romans 10:13).”

The General Secretary pointed out that the door of salvation is open to everyone who seeks Jesus, as He is the only access point for salvation (John 10:9). However, he also cautioned that the door will one day be closed, referencing Luke 13:25-27: “When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ But He will answer, ‘I do not know you.’”

Apostle Obuobi warned that the opportunity for salvation will not last forever. “The door to salvation is open now, but when the rapture comes or when death calls, that door will be closed,” he said.

Evil Hands Cannot Carry The Ark of God – General Secretary

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has warned ministers and wives of the Church that “Evil hands cannot carry the Ark of God.”

His warning came during his message on Day 5 of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Eastern Region, where he addressed the theme: “The Lost Glory – The Causes.”

Speaking to the gathering, Apostle Obuobi cautioned that engaging in sin causes ministers and wives to lose the Kabowd, the glory of God, which is essential for an effective ministry.

He stressed that it is not enough to simply hold ministerial titles; what matters most is the condition of one’s heart and relationship with God.

Referencing the story from 1 Samuel 4:10-11, the General Secretary reminded the congregation that the Ark of the Covenant, representing the glory and presence of God, was captured by the Philistines after the priests, Hophni and Phinehas, who were living in sin, carried it into battle.

He emphasized, “So the Lord departed them and made the Ark an ordinary material,” highlighting that when individuals in ministry live unrighteous lives, they jeopardize the very presence of God in their service.

Apostle Obuobi further warned that failure to spend quality time in prayer and the Word of God will lead to the loss of God’s glory.

 He urged ministers to stay committed to leading holy and righteous lives, warning that failure to do so would result in a spiritual downfall. He stated that “Evil hands cannot carry the Ark of God,” stressing that sin and unholiness are incompatible with the presence of God and His glory.

He encouraged ministers and wives to prioritize spending time in God’s presence, for it is only through intimacy with Him that they can be empowered for greater impact in ministry.

Spend Quality Time With God For Greater Impact – Apostle Samuel Obuobi To The Clergy

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has urged ministers and wives of the Church to make a conscious effort to cultivate the presence of God daily for an effective ministry.

The General Secretary, speaking on the topic: “The Lost Glory – The Causes” on Day 5 of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Eastern Region, emphasized that it is by “being with Jesus” that one can make a meaningful impact in life and ministry.

He explained that cultivating the presence of God comes through consistent study of the Word of God and a dedicated prayer life, where one spends quality time with God.

He illustrated this with a reference from Acts 4:13, which states, “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.”

He explained that although the Pharisees were surprised by the boldness and deep insight of the apostles, they soon realized that the power behind their actions came from their time spent with Jesus.

“Likewise, if we want to see the glory of God, we must learn to be with Him, spend quality time with Him. This must come first before preaching and casting out demons,” he said.

The General Secretary further cautioned that while the lack of quality time with the Lord will not necessarily strip ministers of their titles, it will cause them to lose the Kabowd (glory) and result in becoming spiritually lightweight.

He warned that the glory of God can be lost when ministers and wives indulge in sin. He emphasized that “Evil hands cannot carry the Ark of God.”

Referencing the biblical account from 1 Samuel 4:10-11, he stated that Israel’s defeat in battle was due, in part, to the two wicked sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant. “So the Lord departed them and made the Ark an ordinary material,” he said, highlighting the devastating consequences of unholy lives in the ministry.

He, therefore, urged the ministers and wives to continue leading holy and righteous lives to make the necessary impact in ministry.

The Basis For Our Rewards Is Faithfulness – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has asserted that for a Christian to qualify for eternal rewards, they must exhibit faithfulness.

According to him, God has called each one to a specific task or assignment and he expects everyone to be faithful to Gd and the calling they have received.

Speaking on the topic, “Living for Eternal Rewards” at the Volta & Oti Centre of the 2025 Ministers and Wives Conference (MWC), Apostle Obuobi stated that it does not matter whether what we have given is small or big, what matters is how faithful one is with what they have been given by the Lord.

Drawing from the account of the parable of the talents, Apostle Obuobi noted that those who had rewards received them because they were faithful to what was entrusted to them.

Comparing that to ministry in the church, he noted that some ministers will be posted to the so-called big districts whiles others will be sent to places people might not consider “big”, but no one should be discouraged because of the perception that their districts are not so good, for it is God who posts according to his divine purpose, declaring that “all that you need is to serve faithfully wherever you have been posted and God will reward you.”

In his closing remarks, the General Secretary encouraged ministers to be faithful to the church as well for if they are waiting for eternal rewards, they must be willing to serve God and the church in all faithfulness.PENT NEWS.

God Takes Notice of Everything Done for Him – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has reminded Christians that God takes notice of everything done for Him and rewards each person’s actions accordingly.

Drawing from the dialogue between the Lord Jesus and Peter in Mark 10:28-30, Apostle Obuobi outlined two kinds of rewards Christians receive for their good deeds in Christ: earthly rewards and eternal rewards.

He further emphasized that while salvation is free, rewards are not—they are earned through effort and activity.

Apostle Obuobi made this poignant assertion during his presentation on the topic, “Living for Eternal Rewards,” on the morning of the third day of the Volta-Oti RCC session of the Ministers and Wives Conference held at PIWC, Ho.

Explaining Colossians 3:24, he encouraged the ministers and their wives to serve in ministry as unto the Lord, rather than unto their respective Area Heads.

He also advised ministers not to become discouraged when their good deeds seem unnoticed or unappreciated.

Drawing inspiration from Kevin Halloran, Apostle Obuobi reminded the participants that they will be duly rewarded when they endure pressures in ministry, give generously, bear insults, and offer excellent service to their employers.

“When we serve the Lord faithfully, we will earn different kinds of crowns, including the crown of life, the imperishable crown, the crown of righteousness, the crown of glory, and the crown of rejoicing,” he stated.

The General Secretary further explained that faithfulness is expected of Christians in three areas: unto the Lord, to the calling they have received, and to the church or institution (The Church of Pentecost) that provides the platform for their service.

Apostle Obuobi concluded by urging ministers and their wives to remain obedient to God and their calling, so they can successfully earn the rewards promised by the One who called them.

The Change In Us Must Be Tangible – Christians Charged

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The transformation (change) in every believer’s life must be both tangible and visible to the world, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has urged.

He made this assertion today during a presentation on the rationale behind the 2025 theme at the opening session of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Volta and Oti regions in Ho.

Speaking on the theme “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,” Apostle Obuobi highlighted the profound transformation seen in the life of Apostle Paul after his conversion to Christianity.

He emphasized that such a change should be clearly evident, referencing Galatians 4:1 to underscore that Paul’s conversion was so visible that it could not be denied.

“Until we reach a point where people can see the changes in us and give glory to God, we have not fully arrived,” he stated.

Apostle Obuobi also reminded the gathered ministers and wives that the Church’s mission extends beyond the transformation of individual lives; it also encompasses the transformation of society as a whole.

He urged them to ensure that every member is familiar with key Scripture passages supporting the theme for this year, specifically Ephesians 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 4:7, and Galatians 1:24.

Expounding on Ephesians 4:1, Apostle Obuobi referenced Chapter 3, where the Apostle Paul prays for God’s glory to remain in the church from one generation to the next. He stressed that for this to happen, believers must live lives worthy of their calling.

Drawing from Ezekiel 10:18 and 11:22-23, he warned that the glory of God can be lost in a generation and, thus, challenged ministers and their wives to guard against this within The Church of Pentecost.

Apostle Obuobi also reminded them that their calling is both a heavenly and holy one, demanding that they live in accordance with the life worthy of the calling they have received.

Absolute Holiness Is Possible – Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians to pursue absolute holiness and reject any doctrine that suggests otherwise. He emphasized that holiness is a non-negotiable trait for every believer, and it should be understood as an attainable goal.

He made these remarks during his presentation on the rationale behind the 2025 theme at the opening session of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Volta and Oti Regions, currently ongoing at PIWC Ho.

Quoting Ezekiel 43:12, Apostle Obuobi affirmed that Christians are called to lead holy lives, explaining, “The law of the Lord’s temple, which is your body, is absolute holiness.”

He stressed that believers must not focus excessively on the weaknesses inherited from the Adamic nature but instead, focus on the life they have received through faith in Christ— a life capable of living in purity.

Apostle Obuobi further emphasized that there must be a visible distinction between a believer’s former life and the new life in Christ. This transformation should be evident to the world.

Referring to Apostle Paul, he noted that people glorified God because they saw the clear transformation in his life.

Quoting 1 Thessalonians 4:7, one of the main texts of the 2025 theme, he explained that the same man who had once persecuted Christians was now publicly advocating for the faith. This dramatic change led people to praise God.

“We must reach a point where others can clearly see the change in our lives. Until this is achieved, we have not yet reached the mark,” he said.

He added, “The change in Apostle Paul’s life was undeniable, which is why people glorified God. Similarly, our lives should reflect such transformation, and others should give glory to God.”

Apostle Obuobi encouraged all members to strive for righteousness and holiness, stressing that this is one of the key ways to ensure the glory of God remains within the Church for generations to come.

Walk In The Power—General Secretary Charges Believers

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has revealed that God’s intention is for all believers to walk in the demonstration of His power.

He asserts that this empowerment is available to everyone who believes, not just those in positions of authority.

He made this statement during a sermon he delivered on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) – Asokwa, Kumasi, titled ‘Empowered by the Spirit for the Unleashing Agenda: Barriers to the Power’ during the climax of the 14-day Global Fasting and Prayer event declared by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye.

Apostle Obuobi highlighted that the Kingdom of God is one of power, and walking in this power is crucial for the success of the ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda.

He referenced Acts 8:6-7, noting that the early Church attracted attention through both their words and the demonstration of God’s power.

He cited Acts 17:6-7, illustrating how early Christians turned the world upside down by manifesting this power.‘The promise of this power, as stated in Acts 2:39, is for everyone,’ he hinted.

He stressed that being close to God is essential for demonstrating His power.

Quoting Mark 3:13-15, he pointed out that the ability to preach and cast out demons is conditioned upon being with the Lord.

He urged believers to walk with Jesus daily, as exemplified in Acts 4:13, where the apostles’ boldness was attributed to their close relationship with Christ.

Apostle Obuobi emphasised that sacrifices are necessary to experience God’s power.

He referenced Hebrews 11:26-27, highlighting Moses’ willingness to forsake earthly titles and positions, and Daniel 1:8, where Daniel chose to avoid defilement.

He stated, ‘Until we get to the point when we are ready to make sacrifices unto the Lord, we are not ready to see His power at work in us.

’The General Secretary encouraged believers to cultivate a constant and close fellowship with God and to make the necessary sacrifices to unleash His power in their lives.

He assured that anyone who stands with the Lord will find the Lord standing with them.

Present at the service were Apostle Peter Kofi Dzemekey (Asokwa Area Head), Pastor Emmanuel Yirebi (Resident Minister, PIWC Asokwa), and Pastor Professor William Oto Ellis (retd), among others.

Apostle Obuobi Provides Overview Of 2025 Theme

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has given an overview of the 2025 theme of the church.

He did this as part of his Apostolic visitation to the Mountain View Worship Centre in the Kasoa Area on Sunday, January 12, 2025.

Apostle Obuobi delivered the sermon highlighting the church’s theme for the year: ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling.’ The theme is rooted in Ephesians 4:1, Galatians 1:24 and 1 Thessalonians 4:7  

He explained that the theme aims to guide the church towards achieving its broader Vision 2028, which focuses on ‘Possessing the Nations.’

In his sermon, Apostle Obuobi stated the importance of living a life that reflects one’s divine calling, which is not limited to full-time ministry but encompasses all aspects of life as Christians transition from darkness into the light of God’s kingdom.

He stated: ‘Once we were in the kingdom of darkness but by the saving grace, we have been brought into the kingdom of light.’

He emphasised that every believer has a role to play in manifesting God’s glory.

He referenced Ephesians chapters 3 and 4 to illustrate Apostle Paul’s desire for God’s glory to remain with the church across generations.

He warned against complacency, noting that it is possible for a generation to lose this glory if they do not live according to their calling, citing Ezekiel 10:18 as a historical example of God’s glory departing from His people.

The sermon also delved into two perspectives of the Christian calling: a heavenly call and a call unto holiness. The heavenly call, according to him, is described as a privilege that transcends social status or academic achievement, while the call unto holiness emphasises living a life that reflects God’s righteousness.

Apostle Obuobi asserted that ‘holiness means living out the God kind of life,’ urging believers to embody love and faithfulness in their daily lives.

The General Secretary challenged believers to ensure that their lifestyles lead others to glorify God, similar to how Paul’s transformation inspired others.

He stated: ‘Until we get to the level where people will glorify God because of our lifestyles, we have not reached anywhere.’

He concluded his sermon by encouraging all Christians to view their professional lives as part of their ministry, saying that every occupation—whether in business, healthcare, education, or any other field—serves as an opportunity to reflect God’s grace and impact society positively.

He, therefore, urged believers not to separate their faith from their everyday activities but rather integrate it fully into their lives.
