Eternal Life Is Found Only In Christ! – Aps. Sylvester Arhin web

Eternal Life Is Found Only In Christ! – Aps. Sylvester Arhin

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

Apostle Sylvester Arhin, the RCC Coordinator for the Western Region and Takoradi Area Head, has asserted that God has made eternal life available for all, however this divine life is found only in Jesus Christ!

Apostle Arhin said this when he preached yesterday at the “Central Region for Christ” crusade at the Cape Coast Jubilee Park.

In his sermon, the Takoradi Area Head emphasized that Jesus Christ is the sole source of true life and salvation, while highlighting the devastating effect of sin and the transformative power of Christ to deliver humanity.

Using Mark 1:40-45 as his scriptural foundation, he recounted the story of a leper who, despite societal rejection, approached Jesus in faith and was miraculously healed.

This, he explained, serves as a powerful reminder that no matter the depth of one’s struggles, Jesus has the power to cleanse, restore, and grant newness of life.

Apostle Arhin issued a solemn warning: “Sin leads to eternal separation from God. Like leprosy, it may start small, but it eventually consumes and destroys. Sin is a death sentence.”

He urged all present to reflect on the leper’s story, recognizing it as an invitation for all—regardless of past mistakes—to approach Jesus in faith and experience His life-changing touch.

In a passionate call to salvation, Apostle Arhin proclaimed: “Jesus is willing; He will touch you and make you whole. Run to Him!”

He further admonished the congregation, stressing that Jesus Christ is the only antidote to whatever leads to eternal damnation.

“God has eternal life for His children, and this life is found in His Son, Jesus. Run to Him! Eternal life and the forgiveness of sins await you.”

With great fervor, he continued, “The touch of Christ heals, delivers, and completely transforms. He is the only answer to the burdens of sin. Run to Jesus for salvation, newness, hope, and healing!”

As he concluded his message, the altar was opened for those who sought salvation, reinforcing the central theme that Jesus remains the ultimate giver of abundant and eternal life.

The evening was marked by divine encounters, including the miraculous healing of a woman who testified to the power and glory of God.

WE ARE THE AROMA OF CHRIST — APOSTLE NYAMEKYE web

We Are The Aroma Of Christ — Apostle Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has emphasised the identity of Christians as the aroma of Christ, tasked with spreading His knowledge everywhere.

“We are the aroma of Christ. God uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere,” he stated, referencing 2 Corinthians 2:15-16.

He explained that like an aroma, which is  sweet-smelling and pervasive (John 12:3), Christians are to make Christ known across all spheres of influence.

Apostle Nyamekye made these remarks in a sermon titled “God Amid Israel,” during a live broadcast of a Special Sunday Evening Service on Pent TV on March 23, 2025.

Referencing Isaiah 12:5-6 and Numbers 2, the GPCC President elaborated on the Israelites’ experience of God’s presence among them. He noted that God made it clear to the Israelites that He dwelled among them. However, due to a lack of revelation, they confined God’s worship to the temple.

Illustrating the arrangement of the tribes of the Israel, he highlighted God’s central presence among them. He mentioned that when they were on the march, the cloud of glory — signifying God’s presence — would go ahead of them and sometimes rest on the Tent of Meeting.

He further noted that the Ark of the Covenant, which also symbolised God’s presence, was housed in the Tent of Meeting. He then posed the question “Where is God? Is He in the Ark or ahead of them?”

In addressing this, Apostle Nyamekye referred to 2 Chronicles 6:18-21, Psalm 139:1-11, and Job 23:1-4, 8-11, emphasising God’s omnipresence. He stressed that following God’s ways closely and faithfully leads one to His presence, eliminating the need to search for Him in any specific direction.

“Don’t worry about where God is; just follow Him closely in His ways and you will always be where He is,” he assured.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that just as the Ark, which represented God’s presence was in the tabernacle and sometimes moved ahead of or behind the Israelites as a cloud during their journey, God now dwells in believers and is also present everywhere. He emphasised that the bodies of Christians are God’s temple.

“Even though God is in us, He is also at the work place, in the streets, at the office, at the mall, at the salon, on the plane,” he affirmed, stressing, “Every place is a place of His presence. So, let us maintain this consciousness.”

He expressed concern that people often regard these places as devoid of God’s presence.

“We show up in these places, without expecting God to show up. The same God we encounter in church can be encountered at workplace. All we need is to be aware of this consciousness and be sensitive to God’s leading as we interact with people. In so doing, we will become transformative agents in the hands of God,” he encouraged.

Chairman Nyamekye also urged Christians to ernestly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, emphasising that the Spirit, who gives these gifts dwells in them.

JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO SAVE AND DELIVER web

Jesus Christ Has The Power To Save And Deliver – Aps. Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Evangelism Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah, has emphatically declared that Jesus Christ alone possesses the power to save, deliver, and heal completely.

Speaking at “Central Region for Christ” Crusade under the theme “Jesus Christ, the Giver of Abundant Life,” Apostle Appiah underscored the unmatched authority of Christ in transforming lives and restoring destinies.

Drawing from Hebrews 2:25, he explained that, unlike the high priests of Israel, who had limited lifespans and were replaced upon their death, Jesus Christ remains our eternal High Priest.

He continues to intercede for humanity, rescuing us from the grip of sin and offering redemption to all who call upon His name.

Apostle Appiah contrasted the mission of Jesus Christ with the destructive agenda of the devil as described in John 10:10.

He asserted that while the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus Christ provides life—and not just ordinary life, but abundant life.

Quoting Colossians 2:13-15, he affirmed that Jesus has publicly triumphed over the forces of darkness, disarming the enemy and granting complete freedom to those who believe in Him.

“There is no other way to come to God except through Jesus. No alternative path leads to salvation,” Apostle Appiah declared firmly.

He stressed that Jesus Christ is the climax of salvation, and the ultimate goal of salvation is eternal life.

Using vivid imagery, Apostle Appiah described the enemy as a ‘robber’ whose arms make him dangerous. However, he reassured the congregation that Jesus has disarmed the devil for the sake of believers.

“Anyone who desires this abundant life must come to Jesus, for without Him, one remains in condemnation,” he stated solemnly.

He further outlined the devil’s three-step agenda – to steal, kill, and destroy—contrasting it with Jesus’ two-step provision: to give life and to give it more abundantly.

He urged the congregation to make a conscious decision to accept Jesus Christ, emphasizing that salvation is found in Him alone.

“This salvation not only secures eternal life but also restores everything the enemy has stolen,” he added.

Concluding his message, Apostle Appiah reassured the audience that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, continues to intercede for His people.

He extended an altar call, inviting those who wished to receive the abundant life found in Christ. In a remarkable response, 101 souls surrendered their lives to Christ, 78 underwent water baptism, and 15 received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

The Kasei District in the Asante Mampong Area of The Church of Pentecost has successfully hosted an empowerment programme dubbed ‘Channel of Grace’ for its Women’s Ministry.

Held at the Ebenezer Auditorium at Kasei, the event drew a significant number of past and present leaders of the ministry, alongside women from various local assemblies.

In his address, the District Minister, Pastor Luke Nemen Sei, underscored the essential role women play in society. He highlighted their involvement in diverse economic, social, and religious activities, which bring them into contact with a wide range of people daily.

Pastor Nemen Sei also noted that women constitute approximately 60% of the church’s congregation and dominate the marketplace, stressing the need to equip them with knowledge and skills to positively influence their spheres of life.

He further revealed that the Channel of Grace programme will be held every four months. This initiative, he said, aligns with The Church of Pentecost’s Vision 2028, which focuses on equipping members to transform their communities with kingdom principles.

Pastor Nemen Sei also encouraged media professionals present at the event to leverage their platforms to propagate the gospel, urging Christian media to match the fervor with which secular media promote worldly content.

He took the opportunity to appreciate the support of the Mampong Area Head, Apostle Samuel Kwabena Asare, his wife, and Osofomaame Cecilia Nemen, whose contributions have been invaluable to the programme’s success.

Participants expressed their gratitude for the initiative, noting that it has been highly impactful. Many shared how each session provided valuable insights and lessons that enhanced both their personal and spiritual lives.

A special session during this second edition featured Madam Winifred Boakye, a midwife, who educated attendees on cervical cancer awareness. Her presentation covered key topics, including risk factors, preventive measures, and the importance of regular medical check-ups.

The Channel of Grace programme continues to transform the lives of women in the Kasei District, empowering them to make meaningful contributions to their families, churches, and communities.

With its periodic schedule, the Channel of Grace initiative promises to sustain the nurturing and empowerment of women within the church, ensuring their active participation in both spiritual and societal development.

The couple endured years of agony, distress, pain, and numerous medical procedures in their quest to have a child, but their efforts seemed futile. In God’s appointed time, however, their prayers were answered, and they were blessed with triplets. 

The three girls were christened and dedicated on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the Kwabenya Old Town Central church building. The ceremony drew an enthusiastic crowd of ministers, members of the church, family, and friends.

Jesus Gives Life In Absolute Abundance – Apostle Dr. Jimmy Markin

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Cape Coast Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, has emphasized that an encounter with Jesus Christ does not only transform one’s earthly existence but also secures an eternal destiny.

He said this when he preached on the theme: “Jesus, The Giver of Life,” to a large and expectant congregation at the Cape Coast Jubilee Park last Tuesday night.

Citing John 10:10, he declared, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.”

He explained that when Jesus steps into a person’s life, their destiny is irrevocably changed for good.

Apostle Markin reassured the audience that no one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love and saving grace.

Drawing from Luke 19:10, he stated, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

He stressed that regardless of one’s background, status, or past failures, Jesus has been seeking them with relentless love.

“Jesus is the one who takes the most overlooked and insignificant person in society, restores them, and brings them back to royalty. He is the one who revives broken souls, renews shattered hopes, and restores life to its divine purpose when surrendered to His rule,” he proclaimed.

Apostle Markin further emphasized that Jesus not only saves but delivers the soul from destruction and grants an abundant life filled with divine purpose and eternal security (Psalm 103:4).

He reassured all in attendance that Jesus is the answer to life’s uncertainties and struggles and urged them to surrender fully to Him.

“Are you wandering in doubt and questioning your worth? We have come to tell you that Jesus is the answer! If you permit Him, He will reshape your life and give it meaning beyond your imagination,” he declared.

Referencing Matthew 14:17-21, the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand, Apostle Markin illustrated how God is able to take the little we have, bless it, and turn it into abundance when placed in His hands.

He encouraged believers not to underestimate what they have but to trust God to multiply it for His glory.

Concluding his message, Apostle Markin made a passionate call to all gathered, declaring that Jesus Christ is the only accredited and legitimate source of abundant life.

“If you give Him space in your life, He will bring order to your chaos. If you avail yourself to Him, He will turn your mess into a message of transformation. Jesus is ready to release His abundant life to anyone who seeks Him diligently,” he affirmed.

At the end of the ministration, a heartfelt altar call was made, inviting all those who desired to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

In response to this divine invitation, a total of 129 individuals stepped forward, publicly declaring their faith and submitting to the lordship of Christ.

As a testament to their newfound commitment, 60 of them underwent water baptism, symbolizing their spiritual rebirth and entrance into the family of God.

To the glory of God, 18 individuals received Holy Spirit baptism.
