God Is Not Enthused About Denominational Differences – Apostle Eric Nyamekye Observes

by with No Comment AMC-22Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

“I don’t think God is terribly enthused about denominational distinctions. Varying denominations may be helpful because human beings differ, and some may prefer a particular style and mode of worship.”

These were the words of Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and Convenor of the first All Ministers’ Conference (non-denominational conference).

Opening the conference on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa in the Central Region, Apostle Nyamekye posited that no one particular denomination has the truth and that the truth is in Christ, who is the truth.

“What we hold are truths about the Truth [Christ]. We need then to pool our truths so that the sum total of our truth will nearly approximate the Truth. With this understanding, let us humbly open up to the Holy Spirit to receive from Him,” he said.

Touching on the theme for the conference, “Rediscovering and Fulfilling the Purpose of the Church” – Ephesians 3:10, Titus 2:13-14, he indicated that the conference’s purpose was to help bring to the fore the understanding of the dual purpose or the dual identity of the Church.

According to him, the Church is called out of the world to belong to God and sent back to the world to witness and to serve His purpose among the nations, saying, “If the Church is able to rediscover its identity as originally given by God in the scriptures and made alive and relevant by the Spirit of God, we could be in the most exciting times in the history of the Church.”

He added: “Everything depends on our ability to understand the Church as it ought to be, our willingness to change where necessary, and above all our determination to keep our lives continually opened to spiritual freshness.”

Explaining the rationale for organising the conference, Apostle Nyamekye pointed out that during a mid-year Executive Council meeting in August 2021, the Lord laid it on the hearts of the executives to organise a conference to share fellowship with all ministers in Ghana.

The vision, he said, was unanimously endorsed by the heads of The Church of Pentecost and subsequently by the General Council, which culminated in his visit to other colleague heads of churches who wholeheartedly accepted it and pledged their unflinching support and participation in the conference.

“And today to the glory of God, the vision the Lord laid on our heart has become a reality,” he said.

He continued: “What a pleasant and beautiful sight to behold, to see the Lord’s army, gathered in one place, not bound by denominational barriers nor separated by doctrine but united in love,” he stressed.

Speakers for the conference include Apostle Eric Nyamekye (Chairman, CoP), Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah (Rtd), immediate past Chairman of CoP and former President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Rev. Prof. Paul Frimpong-Manso (President of the GPCC and immediate past General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana), Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong (former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana), and Apostle Dr. Ami-Narh (President of The Apostle Church).

Others are Very Rev. Prof. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu (President of the Trinity Theological Seminary), Bishop Emmanuel L. Nterful, Pastor E. K. Duodu, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi (General Secretary, CoP), Dr. Joyce Aryee (CEO, Salt and Light Ministry), and Mr.  Samuel Attah-Mensah (General Manager of Citi FM).

Kasoa Area Launches “Young Evangelist” Initiative To Boost Evangelism

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost has launched the Young Evangelist initiative to boost its evangelism drive and reach out to all people with the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

The Young Evangelist, the brainchild of the Area Head, Apostle James Kwabena Asare, seeks to equip young men and women in the evangelism drive of the Church.

Speaking at the launch of the program, Apostle Asare reiterated that the Church exist to evangelise and, therefore, the need to equip the Church with the skills and tools for effective evangelism. 

He also said that the Young Evangelist initiative would help the Church prepare the young ones to take their place in the body of Christ in a responsible way.

Reading from Mark 16:15-20, Apostle James Asare indicated that evangelism is the core mandate of the Church and, therefore, it is a command from God to go and preach the word to all the world. 

He said the command was to go everywhere, including barbering salons, markets, hospitals, schools, vehicles, beaches, funerals, professional evangelism, and Ghettos, among many others. 

He then charged the first group of “young evangelists” to go out and preach the gospel of Christ and win many souls for Christ. 

The Kasoa Area Head revealed that the district and the individuals who record the highest souls won and baptised would be rewarded by the area. 

One-Soul-One T-Shirt project, another initiative introduced by the area to whip up the interest in evangelism among members, was also launched at the event.

Pastor Daniel Kobina Bentum, the Area Evangelism Ministry Leader, in an interview with PENTECOST NEWS, said, “to miss the great commission is a great omission” and, therefore, called on the youth to avail themselves to be trained as young evangelists to saturate Kasoa and its environs with the good news of Christ. 

The launch was attended by the area pastorate and their spouses, the Area Evangelism Ministry Committee members, and over 400 young people, now Young Evangelists, drawn from all the districts in the area.

Takoradi Area Welcomes Apostle Yao Dogbe & Family

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost organised a special service at A. T. Nartey Memorial Temple, Takoradi on Sunday, September 4, 2022, to officially welcome the new Area Head, Apostle Semanya Yao Dogbe, and his family.

Apostle Dogbe, who was transferred from DR Congo as National Head, replaces Apostle Joseph Kwame Assabil, who recently retired from active ministerial service after serving faithfully for 24 years.

Apostle Dr. Onyinah Gyamfi (Bogoso Area Head) officiated the service and was assisted by Apostle Robert Kwabena Andoh (Essam Dabiso Area Head).

Speaking on the topic, “Welcome Him with Christian Love and Joy,” with scripture reference from Philippians 2:25-30, Apostle Dr. Gyamfi admonished Christians to endeavour to support the work of ministry. 

He revealed that Epaphroditus exhibited a high form of quality service and support to the ministry of Apostle Paul, as a result, Paul introduced him as a fellow worker, a fellow soldier and a Christian brother and a faithful servant in his writing to the Ephesians.

“Beloved, Apostle Dogbe has become our ‘Epaphroditus,’ and we need to support and assist him spiritually and physically to excel in his ministry,” he said.

The Bogoso Area Head further urged Christians to be of the same mind as they support the work of ministry.

He urged members of the Takoradi Area to accept Apostle Dogbe as a gift from God to them in the realisation of the Great Commission and the “Possessing the Nations” agenda.

Apostle Semanya Yao Dogbe and his wife, Rosina, were called into the full-time ministry of The Church of Pentecost in 2004 from the Takoradi Area and have since served in Adidome, Kpassa and DR Congo as a missionary.

Present at the service were the Area pastorate and their wives, officers and members in the Area and others from Adidome, Kpassa and DR Congo.

The Power of God Moves In ‘UCC For Christ Crusade’

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesYouth Ministry

The Spirit of God manifested greatly on Thursday night resulting in many signs and miracles during the opening session of the ‘You Must Be Born Again Crusade’ taking place at the Casford Field at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).


The crusade, dubbed “UCC For Christ,” is being organised by the University of Cape Coast Protestant & Pentecostal Chaplaincy Committee (PPCC), in collaboration with the Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM) of The Church of Pentecost, as part of the 60th Anniversary celebration of the university.


Under the theme, “Jesus Is Calling” (Matthew 11:28), the crusade is scheduled to end on Sunday, September 11, 2022, where the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, will address them.


Ministering on Day One on the theme, “Jesus Is Looking For You” – Luke 19:9-10, Genesis 3:8-9, and 2 Chronicles 16:9a, the Evangelism Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, said that when sinners find Jesus, He shows them kindness, mercy, forgives their sins and offers them eternal life.


Reading from 2 Chronicles 19:9a, Apostle Dr. Markin stated that the eyes of God are roaming throughout the universe to show Himself strong to the incapacitated, saying, “Jesus is looking for man to save him.”


He added: “You are not a product of evolution, but God created you for Himself and for His pleasure to be obedient to His Word.”


The Evangelism Director explained that when the first Adam disobeyed God and experienced death, humanity, as the seed of Adam, died from birth. He urged the students to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and saviour because He was sent by God to seek and redeem every man from the repercussions of the disobedience of Adam.


“Without hesitation, every man born a sinner is already condemned. Therefore, the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which is lost. This is the reason why God sent Jesu to the earth,” he stated.


Apostle Dr. Jimmy Markin further noted that Jesus, born of a virgin was exchanged on the cross that was meant for Barabas, the notorious criminal at that time.


“That cross was meant for Barabas (us) but He took our cross that He would give us His crown. He took our shame that He would give us His glory; took our sin that He would give us His righteousness. He took us that He would give us forgiveness of sins; took our curse that He would give us His blessings and He is seeking for you,” he posited.


He then led the congregation in a session of intensive prayers which resulted in total healing of several people who came with the issues of abdominal pains, typhoid, breathing disorders, and many others through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
Speakers billed for the crusade include Apostle Eric Nyamekye (Chairman, CoP), Apostle Samuel Yaw Antwi (Cape Coast Area Head, CoP), Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei (Kade Area Head, CoP), Pastor Ebenezer Hagan (Youth Ministry Director, CoP), Pastor Pastor Kingsley Addai (Resident Minister of PIWC-Accra), Pastor Frank Akonnor (Resident Campus Pastor of UCC), Probationary Overseer Dr. Patrick Adonoo (PENSA International Co-ordinator), and Elder Seth Yaw Peasah (CoP El-Bethel Prayer Camp Leader, Ho).


As part of the sessions, students of the university will be taken through empowerment sessions on Financial and Leadership, led by Overseer Professor Joseph Osafo Adu (Resident Minister of Rhema Worship Centre, East Legon), Pastor Benedict Eghan (Personal Assistant to the Chairman of the CoP), and Elder Paul Kofi Mante (Head of Ecobank EDC).


Also ministering in songs are Uncle Ato, Pastor Joe Beechem, Mrs Grace Gakpetor, Elder Emma Arthur, Elder Emma Danquah, Minister Gyasi Addo Jnr. and Christiana Attafuah.


Present at the opening session were Professor Aaron Asare (Chairman of Crusade Committee, UCC), Rev. Professor Kankam Boanuh (Chairman, Chaplaincy Board, UCC), Rev. Dr. Benjamin Amoaning (Chaplain, Protestant & Pentecostal Chaplaincy), Rev. Dr. Patrick Quampah (Secretary to Chaplaincy Board, UCC), Rev. Dr. Tackie (Crusade Finance Chairman), and all Presidents of Denomination in UCC.

“Fight No One Great Or Small, Fight The King!”

by with No Comment ArticlesChurch NewsTop Stories

If an enemy can undermine the leadership of any group or a nation, he would eventually be able to undermine its people (followers or dependents), because everything (in this world) rises and falls on leadership as John C. Maxwell, an American leadership expert rightly puts it. Also, the scriptures have said, “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered” (Zech. 13:7). This is how important leadership is to the survival and success of any group, whether great or small.

The King of Aram (Syria) seems to have appreciated this very fact. Therefore, when he sent his men out to war with Israel, he instructed them, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel” (1 Kings 22:31). They went out and did as their master had commanded. They wounded the King of Israel, and that was the end. All day long the battle raged against the people of Israel because the king, the one who carried the authority of the Lord to execute judgement and justice in Israel, had been eliminated (1 Kings 22:35).

The strategy to “fight the king only” has been the strategy of the devil (or enemy) throughout history. The enemy employed it against Adam when he made him transgress the Law of God by eating of the tree and subsequently brought a wreck on the very first home (marriage) ever created on this earth. The consequences of this have lingered on to date. 

The enemy employed this same strategy against David and made a wreck of one of the most powerful kingdoms in human history when he turned David’s son, Absalom against him. As they conspired against the King at one of their meetings, this is what the enemy planned, “Strike down the king and bring [colonize] all the people… [For] The death of the man [king] you seek will mean the return of all [his followers]” (2 Sam. 17:1-4).

Ultimately, the enemy employed this same strategy against Jesus Christ, the Lord and Saviour of the world and all the disciples deserted Him and fled (Matt. 26:56). This made many fearful and hopeless. It drove Christianity into darkness and silenced their faith until the King resurrected from the grave! Hallelujah!

The enemy continues to employ this same strategy in contemporary times. This is evident in some marriages and homes where wives fail to recognise the headship of their husbands, and children have become rebellious. 

He is ruining our nations, eliminating respect for leadership in the name of democracy and “politics of insults” which has been enhanced by the sophisticated social media of our day. All one has to do is to put a camera in front of themselves and say whatever they think about dignitaries. Jude says, “Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand… Woe to them! (Jude 1:10-11)

He is making a wreck of the Church of the Living God. He is trying to eliminate her from the schools and the activities of the society as he introduces imposters into the leadership of the Church whose characters are nothing to write home about and making it look like all church leaders are corrupt, causing many to lose trust and interest in the Church and many others to speak ill of the Holy Church of the Living God.

As believers, we must endeavour to understand this battle strategy that the enemy has been subtly employing and continues to employ against leadership (authorities) all through history so that we do not join in his attack like Absalom did but understand that it is God who establishes authority; as such, those in authority are the Lord’s servants for good. They wield God’s authority (Rom. 13:1-6) so that we would submit to them like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah and Sarah did; petition God in prayers on their behalf as Apostle Paul instructs (1Tim. 2:1-4), and in wisdom and humility draw their attention to the possible flaws in their leadership like Nathan did with David (2Sam. 12:1-13).

Remember that we can address our issues and concerns to people in authority without undermining their authority. We can help our families, churches, organizations and Nations to succeed without buying into the devil’s scheme of “killing and eliminating our kings”. Let us not join in “killing our kings.” After all, who are we to judge another’s servants? To their own master (God, the author of all authority), they stand or fall. (Romans 14:4).

Kasoa Area Inaugurates 2 Worship Centres

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost has inaugurated the Diamond City and Paradise worship centers to the glory of God.

The colorful inaugural ceremony, held recently, was officiated by the Area Head, Apostle James Kwabena Asare.

The event also coincided with the welcome services for the two pioneer resident ministers, Pastors Emmanuel Awudi and Francis Broni (both lecturers of the Pentecost University) in separate inaugural services.

The two worship centers were created during the Extraordinary Council Meetings this year after it was carved out of the Opeikuma and Iron City Districts, respectively.

In a brief sermon on the topic, “Shepherding the flock to the next level,” Apostle James Asare admonished Christian leaders to shepherd God’s flock with integrity of heart and with skillful hands.

Quoting from Psalm 78:70-72 and Proverbs 27:23, Apostle Asare said that every Christian leader should know the condition of their flock and give careful attention to them. He, therefore, urged the leadership and members of the worship centers to assist their ministers to succeed in the quest to possess the nations for Christ.

Apostle James Asare stressed that both ministers have dual roles since they serve as lecturers and also full-time ministers of the church. Consequently, he advised members give them the need support in order for them to excel in both roles.

In attendance were the Kasoa Area pastorate and their wives, officers and family members of the ministers, among many others.
