Man Runs To Christ, Talisman Burnt

A 42-year-old man, Alexander Twumasi, last Sunday [April 25, 2021] was rescued by the Holy Spirit from satanic oppression after he ran to Christ in search of the peace of God for his soul.

According to Elder Godfred Asare, leader of the El-Shaddai Revival Centre of The Church of Pentecost in Konongo, Alex entered the church while service was in progress with visible signs of distress. During the altar call, he quickly moved forward to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.

Elder Asare said that while praying for Alex, the Holy Spirit revealed to him that some charms were around his waist. He said that Alex confirmed having those charms and magical rings on him which were tormenting him, but was afraid that when they are removed he would die.

Assuring him that he would not die, he brought out the charms to be burnt and instantly received his freedom after he was prayed for.

Woman Surrenders Her Fetishes To The Lordship Of Jesus Christ

An 82-year-old woman, Cecilia Dawuso, who has been an idol worshipper her entire life, has given her life to Jesus Christ at Asempaneye in the Apeguso District of the Agormanya Area of The Church of Pentecost.

This occurred when the Presiding Elder of Asempaneye assembly, Elder Erasmus Gbedze, preached the gospel on the local information centre in the weekly dawn broadcast.

After spending decades in servitude to the deity, Madam Cecilia confessed of several negative impacts it has had on her life and her family after her initiation into it when she was five (5) years old. She has broken her arm and gone through several injuries, all in the name of appeasing the deity.

Madam Cecilia confessed that when the Elder was preaching the sermon, she strongly felt the urge to surrender her life to Christ and “see the power in Jesus Christ.”

The District Minister, Overseer Samuel Malack Arthur, led her to Christ and prayed for her total liberation. She brought out all her fetishes and charms to be burnt.

To the glory of God, Madam Cecilia Dawuso has been baptised in water.

2 Pastors And Their Families Saved From Fire Outbreak

Two ministers of The Church of Pentecost in the Berekum Area and their families escaped a near disaster on Sunday morning [October 18, 2020] when fire gutted their mission house. The fire outbreak started at the time the pastors and their families were away at church.

Pastor Samuel Essel of Biadan District and Pastor Solomon Azagisiya of Berekum PIWC who share the same mission house with separate apartments returned from church on Sunday only to see that the whole house was in thick smoke. The fire which was suspected to have started from one of the corridors lasted for more than an hour before it was put out.

Miraculously, the fire could not spread beyond the corridor. However, everything around the source of the fire was burnt to ashes. The victims and the eyewitnesses who came around attested to the fact that but for the intervention of the Lord God Almighty, the whole house would have been engulfed in the blaze.

Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service in Berekum responded quickly to the distress call and helped to fight the fire.

Meanwhile, the cause of the fire outbreak was suspected to be an electrical fault.

The two families were thankful to God for His intervention in the situation.

Couple Blessed With Child After 10 Years Of Marriage

One of the unpleasant and disturbing situations one can ever encounter in life is to have married for ten years without the gift of a child and that was exactly the situation of Elder Benjamin Ebenezer Asamoah and his wife, Mrs Esther Asamoah of Grace Assembly in the Yennyawoso District of The Church of Pentecost until God intervened by blessing them with a son.

Speaking to PENTECOST NEWS at the naming and dedication ceremony of the child, which was officiated by the District Minister, Pastor Charles Oduro, on Sunday, September 20, 2020, the couple revealed that the state of childlessness took them to many hospitals but to no avail.

Elder Asamoah said that “when all human efforts to conceive proved futile, we resorted to prayer and trusted God for a miracle. One day my wife and I went to the District Pastor, informed him of our plight and beseeched him for prayer support which he gladly obliged. He encouraged us to bank our hope on God and subsequently prayed fervently for us. With continuous prayers, the Lord has glorified Himself by gifting us with a son.”

Sharing their testimony, the elated couple expressed their gratitude to the Almighty God for His eventual blessings and encouraged all those who are in such situations to keep trusting God for His intervention at the appointed season.

Present at the ceremony was Pastor Anthony Kwesi Mensah, (Resident Minister, PIWC – New Tafo), among others.

Twins After 20 Years Of Marriage (pix1)

Twins After 20 Years Of Marriage

A couple, Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Kate Anyane-Lah, members of Housing Down Central Assembly in the Madina Area of The Church of Pentecost, who have remained childless for 20 years, has given birth to a set of twins.

Three months after the blessing of their marriage on 5th August, 2000, Kate conceived but suffered a miscarriage in the early stage of the pregnancy. After that unfortunate incident, the couple did everything humanly and medically possible to conceive again but to no avail.

They described the humiliations they had to endure from friends, some Church members, and even family members as “unbearable.” At a point, they even decided not to move forward whenever childless couples were called out for prayers.

For twenty years of their marriage, they spent a huge percentage of their income on medications, hopping from one hospital to another, including fertility hospitals, with the sole aim of having a child.

In 2015, they were made to undergo a surgery called Laparoscopy and were promised that they will conceive within two months but it yielded no positive result. At a point, a doctor taking care of them at one of the hospitals said to them: “What else do you want from me? I have done all that is medically possible for you.”  While going home that day, Kate was nearly hit by a vehicle while standing right in the middle of the road unaware.

But to the glory of God, in September 2019 during a prayer session organised by the Women’s Ministry which was led by the District Pastor, Mrs. Anyane-Lah encountered divine grace and her menstrual cycle ceased. Upon visiting the hospital, she was told at the first examination that it was a menopausal symptom because she was 44 years. But a test conducted later showed that she had picked a seed. They did not believe the report so they had to test it three more times by themselves for confirmation with a pregnancy test kit.

It is marvelous that the pregnancy turned out to be twins (two females). Due to her age, she encountered some medical challenges during the pregnancy but God graciously took her through till delivery on 15th May, 2020. The children were named on 19th September, 2020.

Mrs Martha Konja, a member of Nkyenenkyene Central Assembly in the Nkyenenkyene District of The Church of Pentecost, has been miraculously healed of breast cancer.

According to her, she started feeling heaviness and intense pain in her left breast in the last week of June 2020, which gave her sleepless nights for weeks. Subsequently, the breast began to swell and the pain became unbearable for her.

As a result, her family took her to the Krachi West District Hospital where she was diagnosed with breast cancer and referred to the Ho Teaching Hospital (Trafalgar) for medication.

Mrs Konja reported the sad situation to her District Minister, Overseer Frank Amoako Henneh, who assured her of God’s divine touch in difficult situations. He further arranged for three days fasting and prayers with the woman. The pain in the breast and the swelling stopped when she was being prayed for by the District Minister during the “Tweaduapon Nwunu Ase” Prayer meeting. Her affected breast was restored to its normal size after prayers.

Upon reaching the Ho Teaching Hospital, she was declared healed as no cancer was identified in her breast.

All glory to God for His divine intervention.

In the brief but colourful and memorable event during which all COVID-19 safety protocols were adhered to, the District Welfare Chairman and a Children’s Ministry worker, Elder Michael Korletey admonished parents to train up their children in the fear of the Lord.

Reading from Proverbs 22:6, Elder Michael Korletey advised parents to be the first and ultimate role models to their children.

Thanking God for the gift of a child, the couple recounted the struggles and humiliation they had endured in the past ten years due to their inability to conceive.

“Although people kept saying things to my husband, he was resolute in his love for me and stood by me through it all. He never for once left me,” a teary Mrs Mensah said.

Mrs Lilian Mensah, also a Sunday School teacher at the Estate Assembly, expressed their appreciation to God for the wonderful gift of a child.

She thanked the ministers present, the District Presbytery, the North Kaneshie Estate Assembly Presiding Elder, Eric Okine, and the Local Presbytery for the support throughout the years.

An elated Deacon Mensah also added that “We thank God for what He has done for us. I want everyone gathered here today to believe that God is good, and He will come through for everyone at the right time. I am out of words to describe how grateful; we are to God.”

The baby was named Hepzibah Maame Afua Mensah and was dedicated to the glory of God.
