Be Holistic, Faithful, and Fruitful – Pastor Charles K. Fosu Urges Ministers

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Kete-Krachi Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Charles K. Fosu, has called on ministers to embody godly virtues that lead to effective ministry.

He made this appeal during a three-day Pre-Easter Retreat for all ministers and their wives in the Kete-Krachi Area, speaking on the theme: “Characteristics of an Effective Minister” (1 Timothy 4:12–15).

Pastor Fosu defined effectiveness as the ability to achieve an intended purpose. He noted that a truly effective minister is one who accomplishes the mission for which he has been sent — a calling that requires both spiritual depth and practical leadership skills.

Quoting Matthew 28:20, he encouraged ministers to teach sound doctrine and uphold biblical truth. “We are called not just to speak, but to impart truth that transforms lives,” he emphasised.

Citing 1 Samuel 12:23, Pastor Fosu underscored the importance of intercession, urging ministers to regularly fast and engage in intentional prayer for their members.

He reminded ministers of their divine mandate to bear lasting fruit through soul-winning, church planting, water baptism, and financial stewardship. He encouraged diligence in all aspects of ministry and cautioned against complacency, referencing Philippians 3:12–14.

Pastor Fosu also stressed the minister’s role as an agent of transformation, urging them to initiate impactful projects and create thriving environments in their districts. “Make your district heaven and live there,” he advised.

He further encouraged ministers to be able to organise effectively, win the hearts of their members, and operate in their spiritual gifts.

In concluding his message, Pastor Fosu shared practical tips for long-term ministerial effectiveness: consistent Bible study, hard work, and unwavering faithfulness. He also advised ministers to care for their health, visit members regularly, and pray with and for them.

“Set clear goals for your district. Pursue the vision of the Church. Let faithfulness be your compass,” he exhorted, referencing 1 Corinthians 4:2.

He ended with a strong caution against greed, urging contentment and responsible management of resources provided at both district and local levels.

CoP Headquarters, Achimota Area Extend Generous Support To Kete Krachi Area

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost (CoP) Headquarters, through its Missions Board, has donated GH₵50,000.00 to the Kete Krachi Area to support gospel work in two remote districts.

The donation facilitated the purchase of two brand-new Apsonic motorbikes, which have been presented to the Osramani and Kwaakuae Districts. These motorbikes will greatly enhance the mobility of ministers, enabling them to carry out evangelistic and pastoral duties more effectively.

In a further show of partnership, the Achimota Area, under the dynamic leadership of Apostle Joseph Danzerl, provided additional logistical support by donating two tricycles to the Kojoboni and Osramani Districts. These vehicles will assist with transportation and other church-related activities.

Understanding the unique geographical challenges faced by some assemblies, the Achimota Area also contributed an impressive GH₵65,000.00 to the Lakeside District. This amount is designated for the construction of a boat and the purchase of an outboard motor, crucial for reaching Lakeside local assemblies accessible only by water.

This combined generosity reflects the Church’s steadfast commitment to missions and the empowerment of rural and underserved districts.

Indeed, this is a significant blessing and a powerful expression of the Church’s vision to possess the nations.

Our Private Lives Determine Our Public Value Before God — Apostle Eric Nyamekye web

Our Private Lives Determine Our Public Value Before God — Apostle Eric Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged Christians to prioritise spending quality time with God and cultivating a close relationship with Him, emphasising it as the key to living a spiritually impactful life and demonstrating God’s power in the public sphere.

“Our worth to God in public is directly linked to the value we place on our walk with Him in the closet. If a Christian’s daily routine lacks dedicated quality time to know the ways of the Lord, they will not experience much of God’s power and may, in turn, deny God vessels He can use in the public sphere,” he stated.

Apostle Nyamekye made this assertion during a live telecast service dubbed ‘Special Evening Service’ aired on Pent TV on Sunday, April 13, 2025.

Continuing his serialised sermon on “The Two Kinds of Kingdom Authority,” he highlighted prayer, fasting, meditation, studying, and obeying God’s word as key practices for aligning oneself with the ways of God, citing Simeon and Anna as examples of individuals devoted to God’s presence, as detailed in Luke 2:25-32, 37.

“The primary purpose of communication is to build relationships. Prayer is not just for asking and receiving; otherwise, ‘pray without ceasing’ would not be necessary. But as long as we practice the presence of God in communication, we build a relationship with Him. Those who dedicate consistent time to God develop strong relationships with Him.”

Chairman Nyamekye pointed out that God can use anyone at any time, provided they are open to the Spirit.

“We must not limit God. He can use anyone at any time and anywhere. We must allow ourselves to be moved by the Spirit, for this is what makes us children of God,” he said.

He stressed the importance of believers aligning themselves with the truth to remain relevant to the church’s mission.

“What the Church really needs today are people whom the Holy Spirit can use — children of God who have become His friends and are, therefore, acquainted with His ways. It is not enough to be a child of God; you must also be His friend,” he explained.

Referencing Exodus 40:33-34, 38, Apostle Nyamekye, who also serves as the President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), explained the symbolic significance of the Tent of Meeting and God’s presence among the Israelites. He noted that God wanted the Israelites to focus on His presence in their midst, rather than merely recognising His universal presence. He urged believers to be mindful of God’s indwelling presence in their lives as a means to grow spiritually and effectively partner with Him in transforming the world.

“Our body is a type of tent, and our inner man is where God resides. The tent represents the human body, and the ark in the inner chamber represents the presence of God in the believer’s heart,” he stated.

He added, “As we walk with God, we are expected to grow. To join Jesus in the workplace, on the streets, and wherever we are, we must first be spiritually aware of His presence in us and intentionally cultivate it. Only then can we become transformative agents in God’s hands.”

Apostle Eric Nyamekye encouraged believers to earnestly seek the Spirit of God to become a blessing to humanity, citing John 7:37.

“When we thirst and hunger for the Spirit of God, as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within us. Let us pay attention to the Spirit of God within us,” he advised.

He concluded by highlighting the crucial role of believers’ spiritual maturity and commitment to their values in bringing meaningful transformation to their lives and the broader community.

“All Christians carry the same gospel and life, but the difference lies in the spiritual character of the believer. We must work on the tent within us. When we do this, our spirituality will impact the people around us,” he affirmed.

Tema Area Holds 3-Day Pre-Easter Retreat For Ministers And Wives

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

In a serene and spiritually charged atmosphere, the Tema Area of The Church of Pentecost, under the inspired leadership of Apostle Isaac Nii Kotei Djani, held a transformative three-day Pre-Easter Residential Retreat for all ministers and their spouses within the Area.

The retreat, held from Wednesday, April 9 to Friday, April 11, 2025, took place at the Jesus Power Retreat Centre.

With the compelling theme, “He is not here, He is Risen” (Luke 24:6), the retreat called attendees to reflect, revive, and realign their ministry with the living Christ. The event served as a spiritual recharge, offering an opportunity for ministers to deepen their communion with God through prayer, fellowship, and the undiluted Word of God.

Apostle Isaac Nii Kotei Djani, who also serves as an Executive Council Member of the Church, delivered profound teachings on the central theme, unpacking the theological and practical significance of the Resurrection. His powerful message encouraged ministers to live and serve in the victorious reality of the empty tomb.

In his final sermon, “Go to the Courts,” Apostle Djani urged ministers to extend the influence of the Kingdom beyond church walls into governance, justice systems, and public institutions.

Other seasoned ministers enriched the retreat with impactful messages:

Pastor Kwaku Ofori of Redemption Valley District spoke on “The Benefits of the Resurrection,” illuminating the spiritual, emotional, and eternal blessings derived from Christ’s triumph over death.

Pastor Seth Attah Baffour of Community Four District reignited the sacredness of divine calling in his sermon, “The Call of God,” challenging ministers to remain steadfast in their vocation.

Pastor Samuel Koomson of PIWC- Tema shared practical insights on “Opportunities,” urging attendees to discern and seize divine opportunities, even amidst challenges, for the Kingdom advancement.

The retreat featured soul-lifting worship sessions, fervent intercessory prayers, and deep fellowship. Pastoralia sessions provided a platform for open discussions on ministry challenges, marriage, and mental well-being.

The serene and prayerful environment of the Jesus Power Retreat Centre amplified the impact of the programme, allowing participants to disconnect from daily demands and focus on their spiritual rejuvenation.

The retreat saw wholehearted participation, including Mrs. Mary Atsupe Djani, the Area Head’s wife. It was a time of divine visitation, where marriages were fortified, hearts were renewed, and ministers were reoriented toward their mission.

As the retreat concluded, the prevailing proclamation echoed by all was: “He is not here; He is Risen.” Strengthened and inspired, the ministers of Tema Area committed to advancing the gospel with fresh zeal — in pulpits, in courts, in communities, and every sphere of influence.

Ministry Requires Patience – Apostle Tawiah Observes

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Tamale Area Head of The Church of Pentecost and Coordinator of the Northern Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) of the church, Apostle John Budu Kobina Tawiah, has underscored the importance of patience in Christian ministry.

He shared this message during a four-day retreat for ministers and their wives at the PIWC Auditorium in Tamale, ahead of the 2025 Easter Convention.

Reflecting on the realities and challenges of ministry, Apostle Tawiah highlighted that offenses, provocations, suffering, and disappointing results are common experiences in the life of a minister.

‘Sometimes you do your best, yet there is nothing to show for it,’ he noted.

He added that such situations could become even more burdensome when leaders demand accountability from ministers who feel they have no tangible results to present.

Apostle Tawiah cautioned that impatience in such moments could lead ministers to frustration, resignation, or even conflict.

Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:12, he encouraged the ministers to remain patient in affliction, faithful in prayer, and joyful in hope.

‘Learn to wait,’ he advised. ‘Do not grumble or complain. Do not feel ashamed or assume that God, the Church, or anyone is against you. No one can be against you; you belong to the Sovereign Lord.’

He further urged the ministers to trust God’s promises, remain prayerful, and continue serving faithfully.

‘Keep working hard. Be assured by His word that joy comes in the morning. The Lord will not forget your labour of love,’ he concluded.

The retreat took place from April 8-11, 2025.

Elder Benedict Peterson and his family from the Downtown-Ofaakor Area of The Church of Pentecost have generously constructed and donated a church building, valued at GHS 410,000.00, to The Church of Pentecost.

The edifice, named Mount Zion Chapel, is located at Breman Bedum in the Breman Bisease District of the Central Region. It was dedicated on Sunday, April 13, 2025, by Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin, Cape Coast Area Head and Coordinator of the Central Regional Coordinating Committee of the church, on behalf of the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye.

The facility includes two children’s auditoriums, toilet facilities, and a water reservoir, providing a comprehensive worship environment for the congregation.

Pastor Adjei Nimako Darkwa (Agona Swedru Area Head) delivered the sermon titled, ‘Serve God with Your Possessions,’ drawing inspiration from 1 Chronicles 29. He noted that true devotion to God transcends financial giving and includes offering one’s skills, time, and resources.

He stated, ‘When we acknowledge that all we have is from the Lord, giving back to Him becomes an act of gratitude rather than a burden.’

Speaking to Pent News, Elder Peterson disclosed that although he may not possess vast wealth, he felt a strong urge to build the temple for the glory of God.

The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Apostle William Ezhorhoho (Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head), traditional leaders, and the pastorate in the Agona Swedru Area, among others.
