Apostle Michael Agyen Brefo, the Aflao Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has assured that no one should bear the weight of a guilty conscience, as Jesus is ever ready to forgive any sin, no matter how grave it may be.

“Jesus is anointed to forgive our sins, and He indeed died to cleanse us from all sins,” he said during the morning session of Day 3 of the “Togo for Christ” crusade.

In his message, Apostle Agyen Brefo emphasised that Jesus is the Saviour of the world who rescues people from their sins.

He explained that because of sin, humanity had become enslaved by the evil one, but Jesus came to deliver them from the kingdom of the devil to His kingdom of light.

The Aflao Area Head further noted that Jesus came to earth purposely to destroy the works of the evil one and to grant humanity eternal life.

“The abundant life Jesus offers includes our deliverance, healing, and miracles,” he said.

He stressed that sin is destructive, and for this reason, all must submit to the Lordship of Christ to be redeemed from the manipulation of the devil and his cohorts.

“Jesus is in the rescue business. He is transforming lives, and if only you will accept Him into your life, you will be free,” he said.

Apostle Isaac Tetteh-Juddah, the Odorkor Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has declared that the name of Jesus is the most precious thing in the life of every human being.

According to him, the name of Jesus is more valuable than gold because there is no other name by which humanity can be saved.

Apostle Tetteh-Juddah made this assertion on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, when he preached on Day 2 of the evening session of the “Togo for Christ” crusade at Adidogome Park in Lome, Togo.

In his sermon, he stated that there are four major problems in life: danger, demons, disease, and death.

Using various scriptures from Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:11, John 10:10, and 1 John 3:8, he explained that Jesus is the only antidote to these issues.

He said that it is only through the name of Jesus that people can escape danger and overcome demonic powers.

The Odorkor Area Head further noted that the name of Jesus has the power to heal any disease and bring life to the dead, declaring, “With Jesus, there is no such thing as death.”

He pointed out that people often resort to other avenues for power to deal with these problems, but the devil makes slaves of them in the process.

This, he said, is because the devil only comes to steal, kill, and destroy, making it far worse to fall into his hands.

He, therefore, urged all who have not yet surrendered their lives to Christ to do so in order to enjoy everlasting life.

“Jesus has conquered danger, demons, diseases, and death, and He did it while He was on earth,” he said.

Pre-crusade evangelism activities undertaken ahead of the “Togo for Christ” crusade have resulted in the opening of ten new assemblies to the glory of God.

The newly-created assemblies are Boutame-Cope (Bodie District), Zionou (Kati District), Seko (Anaho District), Djagble (Be-Adakpame District), Dote (Kolo Cope District), Avakodja (Agodzololo), Dzope (Elavanyo District), Mivakpo (Kovie District), Temedza Bethel and Illico (both in the Hiheatro District).

These new assemblies were established following evangelism outreaches organised by members of the Advance Team of the Evangelism Ministry. Their efforts included personal evangelism, house-to-house evangelism, film evangelism, and more.

The weeklong crusade is being jointly organised by the International Missions Directorate, The Church of Pentecost Togo International, and the Evangelism Ministry at Adidogome Park in Lome, Togo.

Indications suggest that this historic crusade is set to record an unprecedented number of souls won for Christ, with over 2,500 individuals, including children, already led to Christ through the pre-crusade activities.

Additionally, 68 people surrendered their lives to Christ and underwent water baptism on the first day of the event, held yesterday, Tuesday, July 16, 2024.

To the glory of God, 27 of the new converts also received the Holy Spirit baptism with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.

Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, the Crusades Coordinator for the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has advised church leaders to adopt a holistic approach to evangelism to make the Gospel relevant, productive, and fruitful in contemporary times.

Pastor Frank Awuah gave this advice during his presentation on the topic “Holistic Evangelism Approach to Possess the Nations” in the morning session of the ongoing “Togo for Christ” crusade on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at the CIAP-Yokoe auditorium.

“The global evangelisation drive of the Christian Church in this post-modern era is confronted with many challenges such as secularisation and urbanisation. Therefore, there is a need for new approaches and efforts in the practical proclamation of the gospel,” he said.

According to him, renewed ways and strategies are essential for reaching out with the gospel of salvation to urbanised, secularised, and post-modern societies, as well as rural, remote, and developing areas.

“Other relevant challenges include finding workable ways of reaching out to some minority or specialised groups, which require specialised training,” he added.

He further proposed a model for undertaking a holistic outreach, outlining the following steps: intercessory fasting and prayers, scouting the area where outreach is to take place, developing an outreach proposal indicating the objectives and targets of the outreach, mobilising teams and equipment for the outreach, dispatching an advance team to the outreach area ahead of the scheduled period, publicising the event, post-crusade follow-up on new converts, and budget and fund mobilisation.

He emphasised that following this model would ensure the effective organisation of the crusade and the full integration of new converts won into the church.

Elder Dr. Ken Aboah, a member of the National Executive Committee of the Evangelism Ministry and a trustee of The Church of Pentecost, has asserted that the church is endowed with great power and grace to liberate all who are under the bondage of the evil one.

Elder Dr. Aboah made this statement during the morning session of the ongoing “Togo for Christ” crusade on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at the CIAP-Yokoe auditorium.

Speaking on the topic “Power Evangelism,” the esteemed Elder explained that the Kingdom of God came to exert itself against the Kingdom of Satan through the coming of Jesus Christ and the preaching of His gospel (Matthew 6:9, Colossians 1:13, Acts 26:17-18, 1 John 3:8). He emphasised that believers must always keep this in mind in their evangelistic pursuits.

He noted that many have become slaves to Satan and sin, lost, prey, alienated from God, dead in spirit, and citizens of the Kingdom of darkness. Christians, he urged, must adopt power evangelism to redeem such people.

Elder Dr. Aboah defined power evangelism as the kind of evangelism that is not just based on the word of God (Logos), but also on the demonstration of the power of God (Exousia).

“Man’s method involves oratory, eloquence, persuasion, enticement, manipulation, human wisdom, and philosophies, and sometimes scaring and threatening people with bad omens. Power evangelism is God’s method,” he said.

He emphasised that the Kingdom of the evil one is no match for God’s power, and for this reason, believers should have no fear of evil forces.

Referencing Acts 2:37, 4:33, 11:21-25, 14:1-3; Acts 6:8; Mark 16:20; and Acts 5:12-16, he pointed out that in the Early Church, believers preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, casting out demons and healing the sick.

Elder Dr. Aboah stated that the demonstration of God’s power affirms the gospel message that believers preach and urged Christians to always avail themselves as vessels to be used for the demonstration of God’s power.

He also assured believers that, like the early church, they too are endowed with great grace and power to do exploits for the Lord, depopulating the kingdom of Satan and populating the Kingdom of God.
