God Buries His Workmen, But His Work Goes On: An Urgent Call For Intentional Mentorship In The Body Of Christ

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

“God may lay His workers to rest. His mission perseveres.” A pressing plea for mentorship within the Christian community.

The renowned words of Charles Wesley, “God buries His workmen, but His work goes on,” serve as a reflection on the enduring legacy of God’s mission despite the lifespan of His servants. This belief echoes throughout narratives emphasizing the role of intentional mentorship in present-day Christianity.

The Bible offers accounts of mentorship and the seamless continuation of God’s purpose across generations. A prime example is seen in the bond between Moses and Joshua. Recognizing the significance of grooming a successor, Moses, esteemed leader of Israel, passed on his wisdom to Joshua. In Deuteronomy 34:9, it is recorded: “Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and followed what the Lord had commanded Moses.”

This deliberate act of mentorship ensured that Israel’s leadership and spiritual guidance remained steadfast after Moses’ passing. Joshua seamlessly carried out God’s work initiated by Moses with fervor and commitment. This continuity stands as a testament to the power and impact of mentorship.

THE ULTIMATE MODEL

Jesus Christ Himself provides the ultimate model for mentorship. His earthly ministry was marked by intentional investment in His disciples. He taught them, lived with them, and prepared them for the mission ahead. In John 14:12, Jesus assures His followers, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”

Jesus’ strategic and intimate mentorship enabled the disciples to carry forth His mission after His ascension. The Acts of the Apostles vividly demonstrate how the early church grew and flourished through the work of these mentored leaders, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

A MENTORSHIP EXAMPLE

Paul’s relationship with Timothy further exemplifies intentional mentorship. Paul saw potential in Timothy and took him under his wing, providing guidance and encouragement. In 2 Timothy 2:2, Paul instructs Timothy, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”

This directive highlights a critical element of mentorship: the multiplication of capable leaders. Paul understood that the strength of the Christian mission depended on the continuous development of new leaders who could teach and mentor others, ensuring the perpetuation of the gospel.

One may think that the issue of mentorship only happened in the Bible and ceased there, while others may think it only happens in the business or career world. This is not the case. Mentorship is very present in the Christian world, particularly in The Church of Pentecost. For this article, I made the deliberate effort of getting some mentorship stories of great names in the church as evidence.

MENTORSHIP EXAMPLES IN THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST

In the annals of The Church of Pentecost, several prominent figures have been mentored and subsequently played pivotal roles in the church and God’s kingdom. Among them, Prophet Jonathan Edmund Ameyaw stands out as a significant figure who was called into full-time ministry in 1976 at just 26 years old. At the time, he was based in Nkawkaw but was soon invited to Koforidua by the third Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Prophet Martinson Kwadwo Yeboah, who was the then Eastern Regional Head.

Prophet Ameyaw recalls his formative years vividly. Upon being identified as a ministerial candidate, he was invited to Koforidua by Prophet Yeboah. This was the first of many visitations before attending Bible school. During this period, he shared a room with Prophet Yeboah on numerous treks, gaining firsthand experience and invaluable insights into the ministry.

Reflecting on his journey, Prophet Ameyaw attributes his spiritual growth and ministerial prowess to the profound influence of Prophet Yeboah. He stated, “My walk with Prophet Yeboah really impacted me mightily. I picked up his prayer life, his way of studying the Bible, and his complete understanding of scripture. His manner of speaking and his approach to handling people were exemplary.” Prophet Ameyaw’s admiration for his mentor was such that he prayed for a double portion of Yeboah’s mantle, a blessing he believes he received following Prophet Yeboah’s prayer for him before his passing.

The impact of Prophet Yeboah on Prophet Ameyaw was so profound that people often remarked on the similarities in their actions. This underscores the critical importance of mentorship within the church.

Prophet J.E. Ameyaw also mentioned the late Apostle Abraham Tetteh Nartey as another influential figure who profoundly impacted him, instilling in him exemplary leadership skills.

My investigations also led me to speak with Apostle Rigwell Ato Addison (rtd.), a former General Secretary of the Church and now a trustee while in retirement from active service.

According to Apostle Ato Addison (rtd.), one person whom he was privileged to have as a mentor was the founder of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor James McKeown.

He explained that due to the relationship between Pastor McKeown and his family, the late founder of the church used to frequently visit their house. Whenever he did, he spoke on leadership and service.

Apostle Addison (rtd.) further revealed that the proper mentorship began in 1973, when Pastor James McKeown, without prior notice, gave him the opportunity to minister in the United Kingdom at a very big Billy Graham conference. He added that despite working as an accountant and not initially aspiring to go into ministry, Pastor McKeown saw potential in him and deliberately mentored him closely.

Not only did Pastor McKeown mentor him in ministry, but the mentorship even covered his marriage life and the kind of woman he would marry.

Apart from Pastor McKeown, Apostle A.B. Nartey and Prophet Yeboah were some of the great men Apostle Addison (rtd.) mentioned as mentors.

Speaking on the importance of mentorship, especially in ministry, Apostle Addison said, “If these people had not helped, the practical aspects of ministry would have been difficult. Even if you go to Bible school, you still need mentorship for the practical aspect of ministry.”

These experiences highlight the necessity for the current generation to humble themselves and seek guidance from established leaders.

For effective continuity, leaders must remain approachable and refrain from intimidating postures that scare the younger generations from approaching them. By doing so, they will ensure that these young leaders are well-prepared to carry the mantle and advance the mission of the church into the future.

AN URGENT CALL FOR CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN LEADERS

In our contemporary context, the call for intentional mentorship is more urgent than ever. Leaders today must recognize that their influence and leadership will eventually pass on. Therefore, investing in the next generation is not just beneficial but essential for the sustainability of the Christian mission. Modern church leaders face unique challenges, such as navigating diverse cultural contexts and managing time constraints. Addressing these challenges with practical strategies can make mentorship more effective.

Proverbs 27:17 states, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” This proverb enfolds the essence of mentorship: mutual growth and strengthening through intentional relationships. Contemporary leaders are called to identify, nurture, and equip emerging leaders to ensure that God’s work continues unabated.

PRACTICAL STEPS FOR INTENTIONAL MENTORSHIP

From the experiences shared, I was able to gather some practical steps through which intentional mentorship can be established:

  • Identify Potential Leaders
  • Build Relationships
  • Provide Opportunities
  • Teach and Model
  • Encourage and Correct
  • Pray and Empower

“God buries His workmen, but His work goes on.” This truth should inspire contemporary Christian leaders to embrace the mantle of mentorship with intentionality and vigor. By investing in the next generation, we ensure that the work of God not only continues but flourishes. As we mentor others, we follow in the footsteps of Moses, Jesus, Paul, and countless others who understood that God’s mission is far greater than any one individual. Through intentional mentorship, we contribute to a legacy of faithfulness that will endure until Christ returns.

The Aflao Area of The Church of Pentecost has officially handed over a renovated three-unit classroom block with an office to the authorities of the Afife R/C Basic School.

This social intervention, which cost the church a whopping amount of GHC 25,000.00, was initiated by the Aflao Area Head, Apostle Michael Agyen Brefo.

Handing over the facility to Mr. Emmanuel Kwabla Gbekla (the headteacher) on behalf of the Area Head, the Afife District Minister, Pastor Sampson Ndekor, stated, “The Church of Pentecost is always committed to community transformation through such initiatives, demonstrating her dedication to the well-being of the people as enshrined in the church’s Vision 2028.”

Mr. Emmanuel Gbekla, visibly elated by the kind gesture of the church, expressed his sincere gratitude for their assistance.

Mannheim District Holds Singles’ Conference

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Mannheim District of The Church of Pentecost in Germany held a day’s conference for all singles and youth in the district on Saturday, 29th June 2024, in Freiburg.

The event, which was the first of its kind, focused on “Singles’ Issues & Thoughts; Taking Some of the Blur Out of Dating and Finding Mr. or Mrs. Right.”

Speaking at the conference, Deaconess Mercy Opoku, the District Assistant Women’s Ministry Leader, advised singles to solely depend on God in their singleness and to allow God to work on them. This, she said, would help them to be fully prepared and ready for marriage because long-term singleness brings fear and anxiety into one’s life.

“In your singleness, stay connected with God, trust in Him, and He will direct your paths,” she added.

Deaconess Opoku encouraged singles to be committed to God and serve Him diligently. She further advised them to commit their ways to the Lord and tell Him what they need, and not just look at the outward appearance.

“Don’t only look at the outward features, but pray to God to prepare you for your partner and your partner for you,” she reiterated.

As part of the conference, a panel discussion session was held to answer and discuss questions asked by participants during the conference.

Present at the conference were P/Overseer Andrews Asamoah-Boakye (District Minister), his wife, Mrs. Colleta Asamoah-Boakye, and Elder George Agyebeng, former Presiding Elder of PIWC Mannheim. They also served as panelists for the panel discussion.

He encouraged the youth to develop an interest in politics, highlighting the importance of having Christians in political roles to influence decisions that align with their faith.

This call to action echoed Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

The meeting concluded with a prayer by Overseer Albert Tenkorang, followed by a ceremonial presentation to Hon. Don Ceder.

The event ended on a joyful note with networking, socialization, and group/individual photographs capturing the memorable occasion.

Wives Are Partners In Missions Work web

Wives Are Partners In Missions Work – Mrs Rebecca Sey

by with No Comment Church NewsMissionsTop Stories

The wife of the Dansoman Area Head of The Church of Pentecost and a longtime missionary, Mrs Rebecca Sey, has advised wives of missionaries to recognise that they are partners with their husbands in missions and ministry.

She admonished them not to seek to overshadow their husbands because they are not in any form of completion, but rather work together as partners with the aim of winning souls for Christ.

Mrs Sey gave this admonition when sharing practical insights and lessons learned from her experiences as a missionary’s wife during the 2024 Missions Orientation held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, from July 8-12, 2024.

According to the wife of the Dansoman Area Head of the church, although ministers’ wives may not hold official titles, their ministry is an integral part of their husband’s work. She encouraged wives to be supportive, submissive, and to serve as spiritual pillars and warriors behind their husbands’ ministry.

She likened missionaries to ambassadors and diplomats, sent to represent God and their churches with the mandate of preaching the gospel and working towards the salvation of souls. She stressed that being called as a missionary is a great honour, as Jesus Christ himself was the first and greatest missionary.

She cautioned against exploiting the missions’ journey for personal gain, urging them to serve faithfully.

Addressing the challenges that missionaries face, Mrs Sey reminded them that God will never forsake them, as promised in Matthew 8:18.

Mrs Sey emphasised the need for wives of missionaries to be encouragers, showing maturity in the face of challenges. She advised them to develop a sacrificial heart, be visionary partners, and maintain humility, diplomacy, and a teachable spirit.

Acknowledging the challenges missionaries face, including financial constraints, missing family, and cultural and language barriers, Mrs Rebecca Sey encouraged wives to stand firm in their faith and not force their husbands to compromise their values.

The Church Must Be Ready For The Future – Apostle Prof. Kodua

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Vice Chancellor of the Pentecost University (PU), Apostle Prof. Kwabena Agyapong Kodua, has challenged churches to be active in the anticipation of future trends and prepare for them.

Apostle Prof. Kodua said this at the 2024 Missions Orientation held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, for newly called missionaries of The Church of Pentecost.

‘By 2028, the world will be technologically advanced. AI and technology will have changed the future,’ the VC declared.

He added: ‘More electrical and driverless cars will be seen in the streets; education will take a different form, with schools in the cloud, digital healthcare, e-businesses, digital law, and a host of online activity will increase.’

In his presentation, Apostle Prof. Kodua stated that these technological developments are not without their attendant challenges.

‘Top scientists are making some pronouncements which are quite worrying,’ he said, cautioning against potential ethical and societal issues that could arise. He, however, reminded believers that God has not lost control of His world.

Warning that family lifestyles would become complex and a struggle between human rights and godly principles would intensify, Apostle Prof. Kodua forewarned: ‘This may assume uncontrollable heights.’

Reflecting on the church’s journey, the Vice Chancellor lauded current efforts at embracing technology and social media through the creation of an e-church, saying, ‘The general attitude of the church towards technological advancement, characterised by the creation of an e-church and increasing its visibility on social media, is quite commendable.’

He also touched on the church’s programmes relating to marriage and family life, as well as those relating to care for the environment.

Apostle Prof. Kodua said the church has added ‘Marriage and Family Life’ to its tenets and launched ‘Environmental Care Campaign’ projects to tackle environmental challenges.

He said that despite the successes in soul conversion, there was a need to empower believers for the engagement and transformation of the different systems within society.

‘If a system is bad, whatever a believer will do, they are more likely to fall or compromise. If you do not seek to change the system, the system will change you,’ he cautioned.

Concluding his presentation, Apostle Prof. Kodua called on all believers to be spirit-filled, with knowledge of God’s word, of current systems, and wisdom.

Follow Jesus To Finish Well – Apostle Dr Elorm-Donkor To Fresh Ministers

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The United Kingdom National Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Lord Elorm-Donkor, has admonished newly commissioned ministers of the church to follow Jesus throughout their ministerial journey to finish successfully.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Follow To Finish Well,’at the Commissioning Service organised for newly trained ministers held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on Friday, July 12, 2024, the UK National Head indicated that whenever there is a task to be performed, there will always be the question of ‘how am I going to finish?’ This, he indicated, is not different from the call to the full-time ministry.

He, however, admonished them to know that they have not called themselves into ministry but Jesus Christ who has called them and, therefore, they need to follow Him. He stressed that so long as they obey the voice of Christ and follow Him, He will grant them the grace to do the work and finish well.

He explained that following Jesus who has called them into ministry requires them to trust and obey, adding that it is very simple but many times it is very difficult to do it.

‘Many times, we say we are following Jesus, but we don’t obey His every instruction,’ he said.

To succeed in ministry, he charged the newly commissioned ministers to trust the church in which they have been called and its practices. According to him, the leadership of the church have carefully, with the help of the Holy Spirit, interpreted scriptures to guide ministers for a successful ministerial life and so they should follow and abide by the church’s constitutions and ministerial practices.

He also informed the ministers that following involves humility, which has to do with accepting who they are in God and depicting themselves as such and not allowing anything make them raise their shoulders high.

Apostle Dr Lord Elorm-Donkor admonished the ministers to always have its in mind that it is not always about their achievements in ministry but about how they were able to follow Jesus to make such achievements.

A total of 118 ministerial students out of which 106 are from Ghana and 12 from the external branches were commissioned after completing their training from the Pentecost School of Theology and Missions.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, on Friday, July 12, 2024, commissioned into the full-time ministry 118 men who have accepted the call of God and have completed their ministerial formation from the Pentecost School of Theology and Missions of the Pentecost University.

Out of the 118 ministers who have been commissioned with their wives, 106 of them are from Ghana while 12 are from the external branches outside Ghana.

At a commissioning service held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, the Chairman reminded them of the requirements of their calling and administered the oath of office to them.

Advising the newly commissioned ministers, Apostle Nyamekye told them that acceptance of the office of the overseer places upon them many responsibilities such as preaching the Word of God in season and out of season, baptizing new converts by immersions, and discharging any other duties assigned to them by their Area/National heads and the Head Office.

He also asked them to remember that they are being commissioned at a time when the whole church is being unleashed to transform their world and, so they must have a renewed commitment to Christ through reaching out to many with the gospel and have their presence felt beyond the church walls to the marketplaces, offices and all spheres of society for transformation.

He called on Area and National Heads to take particular interest in the new ministers, guide and train them with their experiences, while admonishing the districts and local assemblies to accept them, pray for them and support them to succeed.

The Vice Chancellor of the Pentecost University, Apostle Professor Kwabena Agyapong Kodua, expressed gratitude to all lecturers and faculty members of Pentecost School of Theology and Missions for the in-depth training they have given to the students whom he described as God’s gift to the communities that God has decided to dispatch them.

He admonished them to have Jesus as their model and look up to only Him and yearn for His grace. 

Ministers who have been called into the missions’ field were also prayed for and encouraged to do the work with God as their help.

MOVING AWAY FROM SATAN OR DEMON WEB

Moving Away From Satan Or Demon Possession Mentality To Holy Spirit Possession Mentality

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

As a young religious boy born into the church, I was made to believe that it is only Satan and demons who can possess human beings and the environment. Such statements like, “You’re possessed by the devil,” or “You are demon-possessed” were common, especially during our prayer meetings. As I grew in the Lord, I realised that the Holy Ghost and the Church can also possess the environment, including Satan and his agents. This profound truth is rooted in the Great Commission given to us by Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence transforms believers, empowering us to be agents of divine change. This realisation reshaped my perspective on spiritual possession. Rather than viewing ourselves as vulnerable to demonic influence, we should recognise our calling to be vessels of the Holy Spirit, spreading His influence across every facet of society.

In Matthew 28:18-19, Jesus declares, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Similarly, in Mark 16:15-17, He commands, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name, they will drive out demons and speak in new tongues.”

These scriptures emphasise the authority and power bestowed upon believers. As followers of Christ filled with the Holy Spirit, we are called to go out and possess the nations, the systems, the earth, and everything in it, including demons, principalities, powers, thrones, and dominions. Our mission is to transform the world by making Jesus the centre of its system.

When we go out as people filled with the Holy Spirit, we carry the essence of God’s kingdom. We are not just ordinary individuals; we are ambassadors of Christ, empowered to bring His light into the earth’s darkest corners. The church is not a passive entity but a dynamic force capable of influencing and transforming every aspect of society.

In the presence of the church, Satan’s power is rendered ineffective. With the church in existence, Satan should have no authority to possess any soul or the environment; it should be the other way around. The church should instead possess Satan himself. This is not a mere metaphor but a spiritual reality. As we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, we have the authority to bind and cast out demons, reclaim territories for the kingdom of God, and transform individuals and communities.

The notion of possessing the nations is not about dominance or control in a worldly sense. It is about permeating every sphere of influence with the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ. It is about being salt and light, bringing hope to the hopeless, and standing as a testament to the power of the gospel. As believers, we are called to be transformational agents, impacting the world around us with the values and principles of God’s kingdom.

The Holy Spirit’s power is not limited to the personal transformation of believers but extends to the transformation of societies and environments. We become conduits of God’s will on earth when we acknowledge and embrace this power. This is not a passive role but an active engagement with the world around us, confronting and overcoming darkness with the light of Christ.

Practically, this means engaging in our communities, workplaces, and societies from a kingdom mindset. It means living out our faith authentically and serving as a witness to the transformative power of Christ in our lives. It means praying for our leaders, advocating for justice, and serving those in need. It means confronting the forces of darkness with our authority in Christ and declaring His lordship over every situation.

Let us swallow up the devil by making Jesus the centre of the world’s system. Let us be intentional in our efforts to possess the nations, knowing that we are not alone. The Holy Spirit is with us, empowering us to fulfil the Great Commission. As we step out in faith, remember that we are part of a more significant movement, the body of Christ, working together to bring God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

In conclusion, as we grow in our understanding of our divine mandate, let us be bold in our pursuit of possessing the nations. Let us walk in the authority given to us by Jesus Christ, knowing that we are equipped to drive out demons, heal the sick, and proclaim the good news of the kingdom. The church is not a passive observer but actively involved in God’s redemptive plan for humanity. Let us rise to the occasion, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and make a lasting impact in our world.
