Ashaiman For Christ: A Community Touched By The Spirit

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Residents of Ashaiman witnessed a remarkable move of God during the recent “Ashaiman for Christ” Crusade organised by The Church of Pentecost, Ashaiman Area. Held at Lazio Park, Zenu, under the theme, “Jesus Came to Seek and To Save the Lost” (Matthew 9:11–13; Luke 19:10), the four-day outreach left an indelible mark on the community.

Ashaiman, known for its vibrant markets and resilient people, experienced what many described as a fresh wave of revival. From the opening night, expectations were high as both church members and non-members gathered, some out of curiosity and others carrying deep personal burdens. What unfolded went beyond a routine evangelistic programme; it became a moment of genuine spiritual encounter.

Worship sessions were marked by heartfelt expressions of devotion, while prayer moments carried a solemn intensity. The preaching focused on the redemptive mission of Christ, presenting the gospel as a message of hope, forgiveness and transformation. As the altar call was made, many responded willingly, stepping forward to surrender their lives to Christ. Backsliders renewed their commitment, and several first-time converts publicly declared their faith.

The impact of the crusade was evident not only in visible responses but also in the atmosphere of conviction and humility that prevailed. Testimonies of healing, deliverance and restoration affirmed the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit. Lives were touched, burdens were lifted, and hope was rekindled.

As the programme concluded, a renewed sense of purpose lingered among participants. Beyond the large gatherings, the true impact continues in homes and personal spaces where new believers are growing in faith. The crusade served as a timely reminder that God’s Spirit is still at work, drawing souls to Christ and transforming communities through the power of the gospel.

Tithing And Sacrificial Giving Key To The Transformation Agenda web.jpg

Tithing And Sacrificial Giving Key To The Transformation Agenda – Apostle Dr Nuekpe

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The La Area Head and Executive Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, has emphasised that the forebears of the Church, including Apostle James McKeown, Apostle Agyir Paintsil, Apostle Frederick Stephen Sarfo, Apostle Martinson Kwadwo Yeboah, and Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, among others, demonstrated exceptional sacrificial giving that greatly contributed to the Church’s growth and impact.

He made this remark during the climax of the Area Officers’ Retreat I, held on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC – French).

Delivering a presentation titled “Transforming the World Through Sacrificial Giving,” with scriptural references from Hebrews 11:7–9 and Genesis 3:5, Apostle Dr Nuekpe explained that biblical figures such as Noah, Abraham, and Moses offered themselves and their resources in obedience to God, thereby advancing His purposes.

Referencing Acts 4:32–37, he stated that God expects believers to willingly offer their possessions in support of His work. He noted that all of God’s creation, including the air, sun, moon, stars, trees, birds, and fish, gives continually for the sustenance and progress of humanity. “All that you are and have belongs to God,” he stressed.

Apostle Dr Nuekpe stated that the Church thrives primarily through the tithes, offerings, and sacrificial giving of its members, emphasizing that these practices remain essential to the Church’s Possessing the Nations agenda. Jesus Christ, he added, set the highest example by giving Himself sacrificially for humanity.

Drawing from Luke 21:1–4, he highlighted Jesus’ commendation of the widow who gave all she had. He also cited the example of King David, who desired to build a temple for God, and the Macedonian believers who, despite their scarcity, gave generously to support God’s work.

He further narrated the story of a young man from the pagan town of Baal Shalishah who brought his gift to support Prophet Elisha during a famine, underscoring the lesson: “Learn to give both in season and out of season.”

Apostle Dr Nuekpe cautioned members against internet teachings that condemn tithing, urging them to uphold the biblical truth that the tithe is holy to God. He explained the various forms of tithes observed in Scripture, the Levitical tithe given to priests, the priestly tithe offered by priests themselves, and the charity tithe given every three years to support the needy.

He encouraged members to remain faithful in tithing in order to attract divine blessings and eternal rewards.

In his concluding remarks, he noted that tithing and sacrificial giving are not merely commands but privileges, God’s ordained channels for blessing His children.

In attendance were Mrs Juanita Nuekpe, District Pastor Daniel Nana Sei Mensah, and his wife.

Death Has No More Power Over the Believer — Apostle Obuobi declares web

Death Has No More Power Over the Believer — Apostle Obuobi declares

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has declared that death no longer holds power over those who believe in Jesus Christ, stressing that Christ’s death and resurrection have permanently defeated humanity’s final enemy.

Preaching on the theme “Victory Over Death” at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC, Sakumono), Apostle Obuobi explained that death entered the world through sin and has since been a source of fear and sorrow for humanity. He described death as a tool used by the devil to enslave people through fear, noting that Scripture identifies death as the last enemy to be destroyed.

According to him, God’s solution to the problem of death was the incarnation of Jesus Christ. He explained that only by becoming human could Christ die, and only through His death could the power of death be broken. Citing Hebrews 2:14–15, he said Christ destroyed the devil, who held the power of death, and delivered believers from lifelong bondage to the fear of dying.

Apostle Obuobi further stated that death could not keep Jesus in its grip, as God raised Him from the dead, proving that death had lost its authority. He emphasised that Christ’s victory was achieved not for Himself alone, but for all who put their faith in Him.

He encouraged Christians to live with hope, reminding them that those who die in Christ will rise again at His return and receive glorified, imperishable bodies. The message, he noted, calls believers to face life—and death—with confidence, anchored in the assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ, whom Scripture describes as the resurrection and the life.

Grace, Truth Came Through Jesus Christ WEB.jpg

Grace, Truth Came Through Jesus Christ — Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei Declares

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Beneath the open sky at Lazio Park in Zenu, a deep sense of worship and expectation settled over the crowd as the Ashaiman Area of The Church of Pentecost continued its ‘Ashaiman for Christ Crusade.’

On the third evening of the four‑day gathering, Apostle Samuel Nana Yaw Agyei, Sakumono Area Head, mounted the platform to deliver the sermon and altar call with a tone that was both urgent and compassionate. His theme was unmistakable: Jesus came to seek and to save the lost.

He introduced his sermon with a striking assertion that whenever the gospel is proclaimed, heaven responds. When heaven opens, he said, liberty follows, and with liberty comes healing. The Spirit of God backs the gospel, and therefore the Spirit must be upon God’s people.

Preaching from John 1:17, “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ,” Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei disclosed that through Moses came instruction, but through Jesus Christ came transformation.

He reminded his listeners that from creation to the present, God has always been seeking humanity. Quoting the opening chapter of the Gospel of John, he highlighted the continuity of God’s redemptive plan: “In the beginning was the Word.” The Word, he explained, is Jesus — and grace and truth came through the Word. He urged the crowd to receive this Word that brings true transformation, affirming that God has never abandoned humanity nor acted without purpose. Every situation, he said, lies within God’s knowledge and design.

Underscoring the uniqueness of Christ, Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei declared that while comparisons may exist in life, there is none comparable to Jesus. No one has prophesied like Him, performed miracles like Him, experienced a birth like His, ministered as He did, or died the way He died. And on the third day, He rose again. He proclaimed that same resurrected Christ was calling lost souls back to Himself. He asserted that no one loves like Jesus, and no one loves sinners as He does.

Drawing a vivid contrast between the law and grace, he explained that the law punishes, but grace transforms. The law leads to death, but grace brings eternal life. The law exposes sin, but grace brings truth and justification. Had humanity been left to the law alone, he noted, the burden would have been unbearable. But grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The Sakumono Area Head further stressed that true satisfaction comes only from receiving Jesus. Without Him, a person may be physically alive yet spiritually dead.

During the altar call, he passionately invited those who felt lost to come forward with eagerness. He described the moment as a period of grace — a time when grace turns sinners into saints and lifts the sick to stand and testify. He prayed that everyone present would receive their portion of the blessings the Lord was releasing before they left the grounds.

Prophetic declarations of healing and spiritual impartation followed. He prayed that burdens and yokes would be broken at the hearing of the Word, and that the Spirit of the Lord would rest powerfully upon the people.

As the night continued at Lazio Park, one message rang out clearly once more: The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Apostle Johnny Peprah Urges Christians To Practise Excellent Tithing For Generational Blessings WEB.jpg

Apostle Johnny Peprah Urges Christians To Practise Excellent Tithing For Generational Blessings

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

An Assistant Registrar at Pentecost University, Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah, has called on Christians to embrace a culture of excellent tithing, emphasising its spiritual significance and the enduring blessings it brings.

He delivered the message during a sermon themed “The Blessings of Excellent Tithing” at the PMKY Worship Centre at Kasoa on Sunday, February 15, 2025, drawing on Luke 18:18–30 and Mark 10:21-30.

Apostle Peprah noted that tithes and offerings form a crucial aspect of a believer’s relationship with God. Giving, he explained, should not be reduced to a mere financial transaction but understood as an act of obedience and devotion that deepens one’s walk with God. Faithful tithing, he said, demonstrates a heart fully surrendered to God.

He warned believers against placing their trust in material possessions, describing them as unreliable and temporary. Instead, he urged them to anchor their faith and hope in Jesus Christ, reminding them that trust in God remains firm even when life becomes uncertain.

Apostle Peprah stressed that God requires believers to offer their whole heart, soul, and mind to Him. He encouraged Christians to love their neighbours as themselves, calling this an essential expectation God has for His children.

Speaking on the rewards of obedience, he highlighted the certainty of both earthly and heavenly blessings for those who commit themselves faithfully to God’s instructions. Such blessings, he noted, are not fleeting but can extend to future generations, particularly for those who consistently pay their tithes and offerings.

He likened tithing to sowing seeds and entering into a covenant with God. Through this covenant, he said, divine blessings flow continually into the lives of believers and their descendants. Contributions made towards God’s work, he added, attract divine strength and grace to thrive.

Referencing the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, Apostle Peprah reiterated that generous givers will in turn reap generously. He emphasised that giving carries a greater blessing than receiving, describing God’s presence as the ultimate reward.

Encouraging spiritual growth, he challenged the congregation to go beyond the basic ten percent tithe. While acknowledging that the ten percent remains the foundation, he urged mature believers to give beyond that threshold, suggesting offerings of up to twenty-five percent as an expression of deeper faith and commitment.

He further urged Christians to give their tithes in holiness, faithfulness, and joy, assuring them that God is able to turn their situations around. Those who sow in tears, he reminded them, will surely reap in abundance.

Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah concluded his sermon with a declaration of blessings over the congregation, affirming that excellent and faithful tithing unlocks lasting and generational blessings from God.

The service was hosted by the Resident Minister, Pastor Fred Amoakohene Sarpong, who also serves as a lecturer at Pentecost University.

You Cannot Bypass the Holy Spirit for Any Good Work – Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With IMDTop Stories

The Missions Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, has emphasised that the power of the Holy Spirit remains the divine source of strength and empowerment for transforming nations and societies for Christ.

He delivered the message in a presentation titled “Baptism and Infilling of the Holy Spirit: Divine Source of Strength and Empowerment for the Unleashing Agenda” at the Conférence des Ministres et Épouses (CME-Francophone) held at the Palais des Congrès de Lomé on February 20, 2026.

According to Apostle Bekoe, societal transformation can only occur when the true gospel of Christ is proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit, stressing that the Spirit remains central to victorious Christian living and effective ministry.

He described the Holy Spirit as the “heart” of the believer, explaining that just as the heart pumps blood to sustain the human body, the Spirit empowers every aspect of the Christian life.

He further likened the Holy Spirit to an engine that propels an aircraft, noting that no meaningful Christian work can be accomplished without His power.

Apostle Bekoe explained that the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or influence but God Himself — the third person of the Godhead — who dwells in believers as a guide, counsellor, and source of divine empowerment.

He noted that the Spirit’s primary mandate is to reveal Christ, seal believers as God’s possession, and anoint them for service.

He therefore urged ministers and believers to depend fully on the Holy Spirit to advance the Church’s mission of possessing nations and transforming society.

The Holy Spirit Makes Christ Real in Believers — Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe

Baptism & Infilling of the Holy Spirit Essential for Christian Empowerment — Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Missions Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, has called on believers to pursue both the baptism and continuous infilling of the Holy Spirit to live empowered Christian lives.

Speaking at the Conférence des Ministres et Épouses (CME-Francophone) in Lomé, Togo today [February 20, 2026], he explained that while the baptism of the Holy Spirit initiates the believer into divine empowerment, the infilling of the Spirit is a continuous experience sustained through daily devotion, prayer, and total submission to God.

He described the anointing of the Holy Spirit as the enabling power for Christian service, adding that the measure of one’s anointing is determined by the level of surrender to the Spirit.

According to him, the baptism of the Holy Spirit can occur through genuine repentance, obedience, and a sincere yearning for God’s presence, noting that some believers also experience this during water baptism.

Apostle Bekoe emphasised that the continuous infilling of the Spirit enables believers to walk in holiness, demonstrate spiritual power, and bear the fruit of the Spirit.

He further explained that the guidance of the Holy Spirit often comes through inner conviction, spiritual prompting, and divine burden, leading believers to walk in godliness and faithful service.

He urged Christians to make the infilling of the Holy Spirit a daily priority, describing it as essential for spiritual survival and effective Christian living.

Church Must Share Christ’s Love to Save a Dying World — Apostle Lare Banimpo Jules

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The National Head of The Church of Pentecost in Togo and Executive Council Member of the Church, Apostle Lare Banimpo Jules, has called on believers to actively demonstrate the love of Christ in a world he described as spiritually dying.

He delivered the message today [February 20, 2026] in a presentation titled “Sharing the Love of Christ with a Dying World” at the Conférence des Ministres et Épouses (CME-Francophone) held at the Palais des Congrès de Lomé.

Speaking on the fundamental mission of the Church, Apostle Jules referenced several Bible verses to emphasise that Christ’s example of seeking and saving the lost must guide the Church’s work today.

He stressed that the Church must intentionally and strategically deploy itself for evangelism, noting that every believer is an ambassador committed to the salvation of souls.

“The fundamental mission of the Church is the salvation of souls,” he emphasised, urging members to move beyond church buildings and engage society with the message of Christ’s love.

Apostle Banimpo challenged church leaders to lead by example in evangelism, stressing that effective ministry requires taking the gospel outside traditional church settings.

He warned against legalism and called on believers to serve Christ with compassion and purpose in order to bring light into darkness.

According to him, the relevance of the Church in today’s world depends on its obedience to its divine mandate of reaching the lost and transforming society through Kingdom values and principles.

He further described the Church as a roadmap for societal transformation, identifying the gospel, the Holy Spirit, and the Church itself as key agents in advancing God’s mission on earth.

The Togo National Head also highlighted the importance of Christian character, explaining that a believer’s lifestyle gives credibility to the message of the gospel.

“Our character is the strength of the gospel—it speaks louder than our words,” he noted, urging Christians to demonstrate righteousness and holiness as a testimony to others.

He emphasised that believers must not discriminate in evangelism, stressing that salvation is for all and that the Church must not decide who deserves to receive it.

Apostle Jules reiterated the Church’s vision of “Possessing the Nations,” explaining that this mission is fulfilled not through control or domination but through service and the love of Christ.

He encouraged believers not to fear darkness but to bring transformation by becoming agents of light in their communities.

“The Church must possess the nations—not by domination, but through the love of the Kingdom,” he stated, adding that only the gospel has the power to deliver humanity and rescue the world from spiritual condemnation.

He concluded by urging ministers and believers to faithfully proclaim Christ’s love, shepherd those entrusted to their care, and remain committed to spreading the gospel everywhere.

The CME-Francophone conference has brought together ministers and their spouses from French-speaking nations for spiritual renewal, leadership development, and mission advancement, with a strong emphasis on evangelism and societal transformation.

No One Is Beyond Redemption – Apostle Kumi-Larbi Declares At Ashaiman Crusade

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

Day Two of the “Ashaiman for Christ Crusade” at Lazio Park in Zenu was filled with an atmosphere of worship and renewed hope as Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, the Ashaiman Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, delivered a compelling message on the theme: “Jesus Came to Seek and to Save the Lost.” His sermon centred on the transformative encounter with Jesus Christ and the restoration of true hope.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi drew his key text from Luke 15:11–24, which highlights the Parables of the Lost— the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Parable of the Lost Coin, and the Parable of the Lost Son (often referred to as the Prodigal Son). He explained that the central message of all three parables is God’s unconditional love and the joy in heaven when even one sinner repents and returns to Him.

He challenged the people to reflect on where they had placed their hope, stressing that true hope begins with recognising who Jesus Christ is. When a person encounters this truth, salvation becomes not just a doctrine but a personal and life-changing experience.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi reminded listeners that humanity’s struggles were never part of God’s original design. Referring to the events in the Garden of Eden, he explained that sin entered the world when humanity strayed from God’s instruction. “It was not how God created us,” he emphasised. Sin, he noted, was the result of disobedience, and since then humanity has grappled with separation from its Creator.

He stated that Jesus Christ came specifically for those who feel tired, restless, and burdened by life’s challenges. Citing Luke 5 and Luke 19, he highlighted Jesus’ deliberate association with tax collectors such as Zacchaeus, who, in biblical times, were widely regarded as notorious sinners. He also recalled the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, where the shepherd left the ninety-nine to search for the one that was lost—a sheep that could easily have fallen prey to danger. In the same way, he said, humanity, held captive and led astray by the enemy, needed a Saviour.

Expounding further on the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, he explained that each story reveals the heart of a God who refuses to abandon His own. Like the prodigal son who came to his senses and returned home, anyone who reflects and turns back to God will be welcomed with open arms. He described God as a loving ‘mother’, eager to restore His children. The Bible, he added, affirms that when even one person is saved, all of heaven rejoices.

Addressing the crowd directly, Apostle Kumi-Larbi said they were not gathered because they had nothing else to do or simply to pass time. They had gathered to proclaim the Son of God who saves. He urged those who see themselves as the lost sheep—weak and unable to rescue themselves—to come to their senses and allow Jesus to intervene. An encounter with Christ, he said, moves a person from death to life.

The sermon took a deeply personal turn when the former General Secretary of the Church shared his own testimony.

At the age of fourteen, after enduring severe hardship, he had been declared close to death. However, during a visit to an all-night service, he heard a message on the theme: “If the Son makes you royal, you are royal indeed.” That moment marked a decisive turning point in his life. From then on, through every stage of his education and ministry, he said, God preserved him.

He recounted how his entire house was once destroyed by fire, yet from that tragedy emerged unexpected favour. He later received a fully funded scholarship that supported his studies abroad together with his wife and children. Through every trial and triumph, he affirmed, God had been his sustainer and destiny changer.

“The Saviour is here to save. Jesus Christ is the last stop,” he said, emphasising that when Christ forgives sin, He restores lost dignity and opens new doors. Reflecting on his own journey, Apostle Kumi-Larbi declared that he has never seen anyone come to Jesus and remain the same—shame is removed, identity is restored, and a new path begins.
