THE NEW MONTH TREND1 web

The New Month Trend

The months, January to December, are all filled with God’s provisions, protections, and privileges for His sons and daughters. God does not modulate His standards, precepts, and principles towards us just because some hold the opinion that attached to each month is a unique numerological index that has the propelling capacity to release a special blessing and unhindered fortune.

It is instructive to state that all months are the same, and any attempt to associate certain months with happenings and events is not only unbiblical but also unwholesome for Christian growth.

There’s a subtle inroad made by some “cults” who seek extra-biblical revelations by forcefully mapping certain perceived blessings, breakthroughs, miracles, and encounters to every month.

Such a phenomenon is gradually taking root in the lives of “weak believers,” especially because of its global and contemporary dominance via social and traditional media. Unfortunately, its acceptance is widespread because of its perceived consequential harmlessness.

Against such faith-wrecking onslaught, the Apostle Paul writes: “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” (Colossians 2:8-10, NLT)

The focus is to clandestinely replace faith in Christ with faith in superstitions—an attempt to systematically deconstruct faith in Christ Jesus.

In my humble submission, I opine that every new month provides for us:

The opportunity to reflect on how our walk with God could improve by letting our roots grow down into Him and letting our lives be built on Him. Then our faith will grow strong in the truth we were taught, and we will overflow with thankfulness. (Emphasis is mine) (Col. 2:7 – NLT)

A space to live and instill the kingdom values. This we do with the help of the Holy Spirit:

a. Not plotting conspiracies just as lions stalk their prey.

b. Not devouring the innocent.

c. Not seizing someone’s treasures.

d. Not extorting wealth.

e. Not adding to the tallies of widows, orphans, oppressed, neglected, etc., in the land.

f. Not utterly disrespecting the value of life.

CONCLUSION

Thanking and appreciating God for ushering us into a new month and further trusting in His faithfulness for the ensuing month is godly and biblical. The matter of concern I am urging us all to consider is the unbridled desire to wantonly dissipate the treasure chest of our faith, which is hinged on Christ rather than empty philosophies and sophisticated worldly manipulations.

COLOSSIANS 2:20-23 (NLT):

“You have died with Christ, and He has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, ‘Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!’? Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.

It is the wall of righteousness that guards the land, but not the strict adherence to a temporary and deteriorating elemental trend. It is all about Jesus, but not a new month. All months are the same.

Pastor And His Family Support Students With Educational Materials

As part of their commitment towards the ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda of The Church of Pentecost through community and livelihood development, the Buipe District Minister in the Kintampo Area of the church, Pastor Eric Owusu and his family have donated educational materials to support all Junior High School (JHS 1) students in the Buipe Circuit of the Central Gonja District of the Savannah Region. 

In all, 750 students benefited from the gesture by the pastor and his family, receiving five books each and a pen at a total cost of GH¢8,700.00. 

Both public and private schools in the area benefited from the donation, which took place on October 20, 2023, at the Buipe Central Auditorium of The Church of Pentecost.

The Central Gonja District Director of the Ghana Education Service, Mrs Veronica Tampour-Kuupol, who chaired the event, encouraged students to take their studies seriously and avoid deviant behaviours that can endanger their future. 

She appreciated Pastor Eric Owusu and his family for their kind gesture. 

“Thank you, and God bless you. We look forward to receiving more,” she said. 

Representatives of the beneficiary schools took turns to show their appreciation to the pastor and his family.

The Director of the Benkrom Pentecost Child and Youth Development Centre, Mr Felix Donkor, applauded the donors for such an impactful initiative. He also pleaded with other individuals to emulate the gesture of the pastor.

In a brief interview with the media, Pastor Eric Owusu said the gesture was a way he and his family can contribute to the educational needs of the children in the community. 

“It is a way of motivating these young ones to take their academics seriously,” he stated.

Mrs Esther Owusu, the wife of the district pastor who is also the headmistress of Buipe Higher Height JHS, added that the donation sought to bring relief to some families, especially those affected by the recent floods in the community. 

“Jesus preached, taught, healed and fed the people,” she said, adding, “As his disciples, we must also replicate what our Master did.”

In attendance were students, the clergy from the Local Council of Churches, church members, opinion leaders, various stakeholders, teachers and officials from the District Education Office.

Ground Your Prayers On The Word Of God – Apostle Gyau Obuobi Advises Believers web

Ground Your Prayers On The Word Of God – Apostle Gyau Obuobi Advises Believers

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has underscored the significance of anchoring prayers on the word of God. 

Apostle Obuobi said this during the monthly prayer event dubbed ‘Face-to-Face With God’ organised by the Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost on Monday, October 30, 2023.

The gathering brought thousands of members, officers, ministers and non-members of the church to the Odupong Kpehe Park in Kasoa.

Speaking on the topic, “Grace, Mercy, and Peace,” Apostle Obuobi delved into God’s mercy and grace, highlighting God’s self-proclamation to Moses in Exodus 34:6: “A God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”

He stressed the need for grace in the lives of believers, defining it in two ways. Firstly, he said, grace is an “undeserved favour,” where God blesses his people regardless of their worth or merit. He illustrated this point with the heartwarming story of David’s kindness to Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9, who considered himself a “dead dog” but was shown immense grace and favour.

The second aspect of grace he disclosed was that it is “the enabling power” that empowers individuals to overcome challenges. 

Apostle Obuobi cited the transformation of the early disciples from their inability to heal to their miraculous acts in Acts 3, highlighting the divine enablement that grace brings.

He noted that grace has brought salvation, as stated in Titus 2:11, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,” and Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith.”

Touching on mercy, Apostle Obuobi described it as God’s compassionate response to help those in distress. He said that God’s mercy offers forgiveness to sinners and assistance to the suffering, echoing the compassion of Jesus during his earthly ministry.

Highlighting the two essential aspects of God’s mercy, he said that God’s mercy never runs out, as evidenced by Ephesians 2:4, “But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much.” Secondly, he said God’s mercy is great, as proclaimed in 1 Peter 1:3, “According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again.”

Mercy, he noted, is closely tied to compassion. He shared instances from the life of Jesus, demonstrating his compassion through acts of healing, resurrection, and forgiveness.

Touching on “Peace,” he defined it as inner tranquillity for believers, with Jesus being the ultimate source of this peace. 

Apostle Obuobi emphasised that Jesus not only possesses peace but is peace itself, bringing peace wherever he goes.

The General Secretary concluded his message by emphasising that the peace of God does not imply the absence of troubles but rather stems from the knowledge that God is in control and believers are victorious. 

Quoting Philippians 4:7, he reminded believers that the peace of God surpasses all understanding, guarding their hearts and minds.

An altar call made by the Kasoa Area Head, Apostle James Asare, resulted in five souls being won for Christ.

The General Secretary was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Korkor Obuobi.

PENSA-Cape Coast Sector Organises Maiden Yepleh Ladies Conference web

PENSA-Cape Coast Sector Organises Maiden “Yepleh Ladies Conference”

The Cape Coast Sector of the Pentecost Students and Associate (PENSA) organized a one-day program on Saturday, October 28, 2023, for the young women in the sector, dubbed “Yepleh Ladies Conference 2023.”

The maiden event, held under the theme, “Repositioned to Manifest the Glory of God for Maximum Impact” (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20), took place at PENSA-Cape Coast Technical University’s Miracle Centre auditorium.

In his opening remarks, Pastor Blessing Joseph Quayson, the PENSA Travelling Secretary for Cape Coast Sector, explained that “Yapheh” is a Hebrew word that means “beautiful,” hence the conference was organised to reposition beautiful ladies to manifest the glory of God and make a maximum impact on their respective campuses.

Mrs. Akosua Oforiwaa Osei Appau, the wife of the Resident Minister of PIWC-Cape Coast, gave the first presentation on the topic “Repositioning the Virtuous Ladies to Achieve their Goals for Maximum Impact.”

Using Proverbs 16:3 and Proverbs 3:5-6 as scripture references, Mrs. Osei Appau advised young ladies to stay focused to achieve their life goals.

“Do not let anything prevent you from achieving your goals or vision but just commit your ways or path unto the Lord, and He will guide and direct you,” she said.

She, therefore, implored the ladies to prayerfully develop a mission and vision statement for themselves and strive to achieve them with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Mrs. Everlyn Sackey, a Senior Nurse at the Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital, spoke on the topic, “A Christian Lady and Health,” with Mark 12:13, Ruth 3:3, and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 as her foundational texts.

She pointed out that as Christian ladies, their bodies are the temples of God, and therefore, they must be kept holy and clean always.

She further noted that the abuse of contraceptives can affect one’s health, adding that “Body enhancement comes with great effects which can destroy the body.”

Concluding her presentation, Mrs. Sackey stressed that a healthy body, soul, and mind are needed in the service of God.

The wife of the Travelling Secretary, Mrs. Esther Mansa Annan Quayson, delivered a presentation on the topic: “What Should I Do As a Woman Before I Walk Through The Aisle,” with Bible references from Genesis 2:21-25 and Ruth 3:11.

She challenged the participants to pray effectively and seek godly counsel before entering into any relationship or marriage.

She also emphasised that to have a healthy relationship, one must seek information and have personal preparation before marriage.

The conference ended with a prayer and impartation session led by Pastor Blessing Joseph Quayson.

Present at the event were Pastor Frank Akonnor (Resident PENSA Campus Pastor, University of Cape Coast), his wife, Mrs. Eunice Akonnor, and Deaconess Rebecca Darkwah.

Participants of the event were drawn from Cape Coast Technical University (CCTU), Cape Coast Nursing and Midwifery Training College (CCNMTC), Ankaful Psychiatric Nursing Training College (PNTC), Ola College of Education (OLACOE), Dunkwa Nursing and Midwifery Training Center (DNMTC), and Twifo Praso Nursing and Midwifery Training College (TPNMTC).

Do Not Neglect The Gift In You - Apostle Danzerl Tells Christian Youth web

Do Not Neglect The Gift In You – Apostle Danzerl Tells Christian Youth

The Achimota Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Joseph Danzerl, has admonished Christian youth to use their God-given potential and spiritual gifts to make a positive impact in their generation.

He said this during his first meeting with the youth in the Achimota Zone in the Achimota Area on Monday, October 23, 2023, at the Achimota Central Assembly auditorium.

Speaking to the theme “Making a Positive Impact as a Christian Youth,” and quoting 1 Timothy 4:12-16, the Area Head recounted how the Apostle Paul instructed Timothy, a young leader, to give attention to the study of God’s word, exhortation, and sound doctrine in order to save himself and others.

He pointed out that in order for Timothy to have a positive impact as a young man in his generation, he was admonished to use his gifts in addition to practicing sound biblical doctrine.

Apostle Danzerl intimated that “When you neglect your gifts as a youth, you become passive, and when you become passive, the church suffers and her zeal fades.”

“Have the mindset to positively impact your generation; you cannot be passive any longer. Instead, get involved and put your gifts to use for the Lord is with you,” he stressed.

Touching on making a positive impact, the Area Head stated, “A positive impact is all about exhibiting Christlike Character, making sure your inactions and actions are in line with God’s word in order to transform one’s generation and lead people to Christ Jesus.”

Using 1 Samuel 17 to highlight David’s attributes as a young man, the Area Head stated that David was obedient, bold, skilled, and above all, he feared and believed in God, which enabled him to be a part of the solution in his generation. 

He further noted that Joseph also became a blessing to his generation because of his unwavering faith in God in the face of adversity. Joseph was rejected, mistreated, sold into slavery by his brothers, wrongly convicted, and imprisoned, but he became a part of the solution in his days because the Lord was with him.

“Just as Joseph’s imprisonment served as a stepping stone to his greatness, so will the Lord turn every adversity and evil scheme to your favour,”

“If you are on fire for God anyone who attempts to harm you will work in vain, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world,” the Area Head exhorted.

Apostle Danzerl admonished the youth to be resolute in their fight against sin and not to be pressured to sin against God just as Daniel and his friends resolved not to defile themselves with royal food and wine.

“It is the word of God we keep in our hearts that keeps us from sinning. Joseph was able to flee from sin because he kept and valued the word of God,” he said.

“You are not just anybody, don’t let people push you to do things that are against God’s word, ” he reiterated.

What do you have to make an impact in the church? The young boy in John 6:9, gave his lunch to Jesus to perform a miracle to feed over five thousand people, what are you giving to Jesus to use to bless your generation? he quizzed.

Apostle Joseph Danzerl urged Christian Youth to fully trust in God because He is faithful from generation to generation. He concluded, “One of the most painful things is a Christian Youth who does not trust in God and instead consults mediums in the face of adversity.”

Mrs. Dorcas Danzerl, the wife of the Achimota Area Head, the Area Youth Leadership and other Youth Ministry workers were also present at the meeting.

Take A Step Towards Salvation web

Take A Step Towards Salvation – Apostle Dekpor Inspires Unbelievers

The Asankrangwa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel Dekpor, has encouraged all and sundry to take a decisive step toward their salvation.

He said that once they take this step, God will save them and give them a new life in Christ.

“In the presence of the Lord, salvation is ever-present and accessible,” he explained. 

He revealed this in a sermon he delivered during the “Asankrangwa For Christ” Crusade at Boadum Park in Asankrangwa.

Apostle Dekpor stated that the same divine power that raised Jesus from the dead is actively at work in the present, irrespective of the challenges one may face.

Quoting from Acts 3:15 and 1 John 5:11, he said the creation account in Genesis, where God transformed the formless Earth through His spoken word, bringing order and light. 

Apostle Dekpor said it was on this very day that God infused life into the Earth.

This, according to Apostle Dekpor, signifies the profound significance of Jesus as the source of life. 

He explained that just as God’s spoken word brought life to creation, belief in Jesus brings life to the believer.

Apostle Dekpor encouraged the congregation, stating, “You simply need to take that crucial step to accept Jesus, and God will save you.”

He illustrated the three significant events in Genesis: the creation of Adam and Eve, their relationship with God, and the entry of sin, causing a breakdown in that relationship. Nevertheless, he said, God’s love was demonstrated as He covered their nakedness, signifying the beginning of regeneration.

Drawing from Ephesians 2:1, Apostle Dekpor emphasised the power of Jesus to bring life even in situations where sin leads to death. He recounted the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, close friends of Jesus, and how Jesus, though arriving three days after Lazarus’s death, displayed His authority over death.

“Salvation and healing are not distant promises; they are immediate realities available to you now through belief in the Son of God,” he revealed.

Apostle Dekpor declared that regardless of the gravity of one’s situation, be it an addiction, immorality, or spiritual death, Jesus has the power to transform lives. He underscored that Jesus is the sole source of life in any situation.

He continued: “Life is not found in anyone other than Jesus Christ. When you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour, He doesn’t merely coexist with you; He takes control of your life, granting you a divine nature, and nothing can stand against you. With Christ within you, your life becomes extraordinary.”

See Yourself As A Victor – Elder Kesse Encourages Believers

Elder Stephen Awuah Kesse of the Agona Prayer Centre of The Church of Pentecost has emphasised the importance of seeing oneself as a victor, regardless of life’s circumstances.

Speaking on Friday, October 27, 2023, at the Mckeown Temple in Asankrangwa New Town, on the topic: “Champion In A Cave,” Elder Kesse reminded believers that even in the face of adversity, victory is assured because God is always with them.

Drawing from 1 Samuel 22:1-2, Elder Kesse cited the trials and tribulations of David, who remained steadfast in his faith despite being pursued by King Saul. 

He encouraged believers not to be disheartened by their problems but to trust in God’s ability to deliver them. 

He stressed that being a champion means having no fear and confronting every situation with courage. This courage, he said, comes from fasting, praying, and reading the word of God.

The sermon also underscored the importance of knowing that God is always with believers and that He hears their prayers. 

Elder Kesse urged believers to develop a strong relationship with God and maintain constant communication with Him.

He urged believers to see themselves as champions, capable of overcoming obstacles through faith and courage.

Hold On To The Unshakeable Kingdom Of God web

Hold On To The Unshakeable Kingdom Of God – Pastor Adubofourh Asiedu To Christians

The Yennyawoso District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Maxwell Adubofourh Asiedu, has charged Christians to make conscious effort to clinch the unshakeable Kingdom of God.

During his engagement with all ministries at the Yennyawoso Central Assembly auditorium, the clergyman stressed that all kingdoms in the world will crumble, but the Kingdom of God shall remain steadfast and immovable.

He highlighted that nothing can shake God’s Kingdom because it is firmly established. He, therefore, emphasised that since the Kingdom of God is unshakeable, it behoves Christians to do everything possible to remain in the Kingdom by eschewing every sin and offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.

Speaking on the topic: “Running the Race As You Reposition the Local Church,” with reference to Hebrews 12:1-2; 27-28, the Yennyawoso District Minister admonished Christians to strip off every weight that weighs them down to be able to effectively run the race that is set before them, noting that “every Christian has a race to run.” He said that it is required of Christians to run the race with active perseverance, urging the congregants to focus their eyes on Jesus Christ.

“Things may not go the way we want, that is why we need to run with endurance the race that lies before us to be able to get to our final destination. Do not lag behind,” he stressed.

In conclusion, Pastor Maxwell Adubofourh Asiedu, charged the ministries leaderships at both local and district levels, to dot communities with rallies and street evangelism, mentor people, organise seminars and conferences, and embark on regular visitations to boost attendance on their respective meeting days.

“We must also have mutual respect amongst ourselves,” he added.

The service, which took place on a separate days as assigned to each ministry during the ministries week, also presented the congregants with opportunity to share their views on how to improve the ministries at both local and district levels.
