God Has A Word For Every Situation – Apostle Anthony Mensah Asserts

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Resident Minister for the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC)-Atomic, Apostle Anthony Mensah, has asserted that God has a word to deal with every situation His people find themselves in.

Apostle Mensah made this assertion on Friday, April 12, 2024, when he delivering a sermon at the morning session on the final day of the ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade.’

Speaking on the theme, “There is a word for the situation,” he explained that God intentionally allows His people to experience challenging situations because He has the power to save them.

He revealed that God uses three categories of words to save His people: the spirit word, the incarnate word, and the written word.

According to him, the spirit word is the word of God that is in Christians who have the Holy Spirit in them, and that word functions through them.

Touching on the incarnate word, he explained that it is the word of God that brings life to seemingly dead and hopeless situations, saying, “This word represents Jesus, who brought life and transformation wherever He went.”

Apostle Mensah noted that this word travels faster than light and nothing can stop it. Jesus demonstrated this by commanding healing instead of praying for it, he stated.

For this, he said, Jesus did not pray for healing; he commanded it.

Regarding the ‘written word,’ he explained that it is captured from the book of Genesis to Revelation and is written for the complete joy of His people as captured in 1 John 1:4

Apostle Mensah used the story of Jesus sleeping in the boat during a storm, as recorded in Mark 4:35-41, to illustrate God’s orchestration of challenges in believers’ lives.

He further asserted that Jesus was very much aware of the troubling situation the disciples were going through, but He deliberately ignored them until they would acknowledge that He has the power to calm the storms.

He explained that just like Jesus deliberately ignored the disciples in the stormy situation, God also orchestrates or allows His people to go through challenges, hoping that they will not try to handle the situation by themselves but hand it over completely to God so He turns the situation around for good.

The Blood Of Jesus Is Superior – Pastor Augustus Akonu

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Afienya District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Augustus Akonu, has said that the blood of Jesus stands out as unparalleled, offering a message of hope, salvation, and authority beyond comparison.

Pastor Augustus Akonu, who also serves as Chairman for the Afienya Zone in the Ashaiman Area, made this assertion when he delivered a message titled “We Have Come to the Superior Blood” at the recently held Easter Convention at the Accra Lorry Station.

Drawing from biblical references such as Genesis 4:9-11, Hebrews 12:22-24, and Hebrews 9:11-12, Pastor Akonu highlighted the unique qualities of Christ’s blood compared to that of Abel.

He stressed that Christ’s blood speaks better things even compared to the blood of a righteous man like Abel, indicating its superiority in life, strength, and power.

The Afienya Zone Chairman conveyed the idea that a person’s blood is inseparable from their identity, noting that even in death, one’s blood retains a connection to the individual.

By contrasting Cain and Abel’s story with the heavenly significance of Jesus’ blood, Pastor Akonu underscored the unmatched superiority of Christ’s blood, which speaks from Heaven.

He explained that the blood of Jesus bears a superior witness, overpowering any opposing force or judgment.

Using the example of a woman caught in a sinful act facing condemnation under the law, Pastor Akonu illustrated how Jesus’ voice of compassion and forgiveness silenced the accusers, underscoring the unique power of Jesus’ blood to bring grace and redemption.

The Afienya Zone Chairman highlighted the superior voice of Jesus’ blood, drowning out doubts and negativity, reinforcing the faith and drowning out conflicting voices or doubts. I am running a few minutes late; my previous meeting is running over.

Pastor Akonu shared a personal experience, expressing how the loud and authoritative voice of Jesus’ blood dispelled uncertainties and opposition, leading to a stronger and unwavering faith.

He further expounded on the superior power and authority inherent in Jesus’ blood, emphasising its priceless nature that cannot be bought or sold.

Pastor Akonu addressed the influence of ancestral blood in heritage, suggesting the transformative power of applying Jesus’ blood to establish a new narrative and break generational curses, ushering in blessings and protection for his family.

Concluding his message, Pastor Augustus Akonu stressed the unparalleled potency of Jesus’ blood, surpassing all other influences and ancestral ties.

He expressed a firm commitment to rely solely on the power of Jesus’ blood and the transformative impact it brings, heralding a shift from ancestral curses to ancestral blessings and a resolute faith in the unmatched authority of Jesus, the man-born God.

Pastor Augustus Akonu articulated that while much is said about blood, the message and impact of Jesus’ blood stand out as unparalleled, offering a message of hope, salvation, and authority beyond comparison.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, is on a four-day working visit to the Asankrangwa Area of the Church.

The Chairman was welcomed on arrival by the Area Head, Apostle Daniel Dekpor, his wife, and the pastorate in the Area.

The Chairman began his visit within the Manso Zone, sharing with officers and members more about the five-year strategic vision of the Church, dubbed “Vision 2028.”

In a stirring address to the congregants, Apostle Eric Nyamekye challenged believers to extend the transformative power of the church beyond its walls.

“The church’s worth is measured by its impact on the world,” Apostle Nyamekye asserted.

He urged Christians to influence society with the values and principles of God’s kingdom, emphasising that true worship isn’t confined to a church building but should be evident in the world at large.

Drawing from the scriptures, he cited Acts 17:24, reminding the congregation that God does not dwell in temples made by human hands and that a Christ-like lifestyle should be maintained outside the church premises.

He also referenced Colossians 3:23, encouraging everyone to work wholeheartedly as if serving the Lord, not people.

Apostle Nyamekye also pointed to Isaiah 60:1-4; 21:22, highlighting the potential within the land of Israel to rise as a great nation, symbolizing the potential within every community to flourish under divine guidance.

The Chairman is scheduled to join the Dadieso Zone in the Asankrangwa Area this morning and the Enchi Zone in the evening. He would then meet with the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) ministers within Asankrangwa and end his visit with a Sunday morning service.

66 Area It Coordinators Receive Training

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost, as part of the Vision 2028 agenda, has in recent years committed itself to embarking on a digital transformation to adapt its operations to the modern global digital revolution.

The Information Management Department of the Head Office of the Church has taken proactive steps towards achieving the Church’s vision for digital transformation by 2028. Under the leadership of Pastor Paul Odai Laryea, the IT Manager of the Church, the department has initiated series of comprehensive residential training workshops for all Area IT Coordinators in the Church.

On April 9, 2024, the first phase of the training began with 66 Area IT Coordinators in the Northern Sector of the Church held at the Pentecost Convention Centre at Brofoyedu, Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

The three-day intensive training which ended on April 11, 2024, was designed to provide participants with both theoretical insights and practical skills to equip them with the necessary proficiency in utilising PentDigital Resources, including the Enterprise Resource Planning System of the church (PENTERP), Church Management System (PentChMS), Geographical Information System (PentGIS), Document Management System (PentDMS), and IT Policy. The training was to enable participants to effectively train others within their respective Areas and Districts.

The initiative underscores the commitment of the Church in embracing digital technologies and adapting to the evolving landscape of modernisation to curb the challenges that come with the traditional approaches to information management. By empowering Area IT Coordinators with the requisite knowledge and skills, the Church aims to streamline its operations, enhance efficiency, and foster a more interconnected community in line with its overarching vision of Possessing the Nations.

Pastor Paul Odai Laryea, in his opening address, explained the rationale for the digital transformation agenda in The Church of The Pentecost. He noted that as the Church has evolved into a global Pentecostal Church with presence in over 170 different nations, adopting a comprehensive approach by fully leveraging on modern technological capabilities to enhance the delivery of its vision and mission is crucial. Hence, the need for the ongoing digital transformation, that is, the integration of digital technology into the life and operations of the Church.

The IT Manager reiterated that digital transformation is not only about technology but also about people management.

He ended his presentation by reminding the participants to understand and fully embrace their crucial role in harnessing the potential of technology to advance the mission and objectives of the Church.

Other facilitators at the workshop include Pastor Francis Nyarko Koomson (Ashanti Regional IT Coordinator), Overseer Nicholas Dei-Kumi (Archivist) and Elder Ebenezer Arhin Mensah (Senior Accounts Officer at the Headquarters).

The second phase of the training will take place from April 16 to 18, 2024, for the Southern Sector at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region.

God Intentionally Connects Us For Prosperity web

God Intentionally Connects Us For Prosperity – Elder Amo Tobin

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Chief Executive Officer of Tobinco Group of Companies and National Executive Committee (NEC) Member of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Dr Nana Samuel Amo Tobin, has revealed that God intentionally connects people for prosperity.

Speaking on Thursday morning, April 11, 2024, at the ongoing ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade,’ Elder Nana Tobin revealed that it is not by accident that peoples paths cross but rather by the engineering of God from the beginning of creation.

He explained that God has engineered life in such a way that He makes it possible for His people to meet, work and live with people who are wealthy and can transform their lives.

Elder Nana Tobin used his life story as an example, narrating how in his quest to expand his chemical shop business from low quantities to larger quantities, shared 200 complimentary cards in India and Mumbai to potential customers.

According to him, God through His will to connect people, made the CEO of S.M Pharmaceutical Company get in touch with him and gave him drugs to sell on credit. This, he said, transformed his business and finances.

Elder Samuel Amo Tobin indicated that not only does God connects people for wealth creation, He creates such connections for the salvation of lost souls.

He indicated that God has placed Christians close to unbelievers so that they can share with such persons the gospel and invite them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal saviour.

“Sometimes people will die and go to hell not because they want to, but it is because Christians didn’t share the word of God with them and invite them to church,” he lamented.

He narrated how God connected Saul to Ananias after he went blind on the road to Damasus so that Saul will receive his salvation through his healing as captured in Acts 9:10-19.

The ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade’ is seeing spectacular attendance as thousands of people patronise the crusade for divine encounter.

Jesus Is The Only Accredited Source Of Salvation – Apostle Obeng Kesse Affirms

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Suame Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle John Obeng Kesse, has asserted that Jesus Christ is the only accredited source of salvation.

Apostle Kesse made this proclamation when delivering a sermon at the evening session of Day 2 of the ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade.’

Speaking on the theme, “The Testimony Of God About His Son” Apostle Kesse said: “The heavens have accepted a particular man and has given Him an accreditation that He is the only one through whom mankind will be saved.”

In his exposition, he revealed that God gave a personal testimony about His son Jesus in Matthew Chapter 3: 16-17 after He was baptised by John.

“The personal testimony of God was the first time God’s audible voice was heard giving a testimony about His son,” he said.

According to him, Jesus declared His ‘messiahship’ when He openly decreed that He came to die for the salvation of mankind.

The Suame Area Head explained that being a messiah means being a pastor, prophet and a king. That is why Elijah who represents the prophets and Moses who represents the priesthood appeared to Jesus to hand over their power and authority to Him.

Apostle John Kesse called on all and sundry to acknowledge that as captured in 1 John 5:12, whoever believes in Jesus Christ will have eternal life but whoever does not believe in Him is bound to perish in hell.

He added that Jesus is still in the miracle-working business and whatever He does, confirms that He is a man approved by God to heal and deliver mankind from diseases and bondages.

The second day of the ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade’ ended with 102 souls won, out of which 81 received baptism by immersion while 17 received Holy Spirit baptism.

A total number of 14 persons rededicated their lives to Christ.

Seize The Moment The Case Of Joseph Of Arimathea web

Seize The Moment: The Case Of Joseph Of Arimathea

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

MAIN SCRIPTURE: Mark 15:42-46, Ecclesiastes 9:11

“Seize the moment” is a powerful reminder to make the most of present opportunities and experiences. It encourages embracing life’s opportunities, taking action, and living in the present rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Whether it’s pursuing a goal, expressing gratitude, or simply enjoying the moment, seizing the moment can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Life-transforming moments come in disguise, and some things are challenging. However, full actualization requires much discernment and daring spirit, coupled with some level of preparation.

Life-transforming moments are not always in plain sight; sometimes, they require an inner conviction of what you can offer to be acknowledged. People may not always acknowledge you for what you can offer until you step forward with bravery to showcase your innermost potential.

Life-transforming moments that transcend through generations may require a temporal sacrifice for permanent benefits. It sometimes demands your availability, benevolence, and godly engagement.

For the purpose of our discourse, we shall examine the life and bravery initiative of Joseph of Arimathea.

Joseph of Arimathea is a significant figure in Christian tradition, primarily known for his role in the burial of Jesus Christ. Here’s an outline of his background:

  • PERSONALITY: Joseph of Arimathea is described as a wealthy man and a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, the ruling council of the Jews in Jerusalem. The town of Arimathea is believed to have been located in Judea, though its exact location is uncertain.
  • ASSOCIATION WITH JESUS: According to the Gospel accounts, Joseph was a secret disciple of Jesus, meaning he followed Jesus’ teachings but likely did so discreetly, possibly due to fear of backlash from other Jewish leaders who opposed Jesus. By openly requesting Jesus’ body, Joseph risked being associated with Jesus and facing potential persecution or ostracism from his own community. He is depicted as being sympathetic to Jesus and his teachings.
  • BURIAL OF JESUS: Following the crucifixion of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea approached Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and requested permission to bury Jesus’ body. Pilate granted his request, and Joseph, along with Nicodemus, another secret disciple, took Jesus’ body down from the cross and laid it in a tomb that Joseph had prepared for himself.

LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT

Joseph of Arimathea’s simple yet strategic and benevolent act eventually earned him a significant place in Christianity and made him an important personality to study. This act of kindness was a voluntary, purposeful, and deliberately willing desire to offer his resources to unknowingly secure an eternal and permanent lasting legacy for himself and generations yet unborn.

It’s not always about being the frontier or the main character, nor the vision bearer, but much to do with how you can negotiate your way in sharing/partnering in a divine cause.

To make a lasting impact in our generation may require simple obedience, grabbing the opportunity for several reasons:

  • BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS: Joseph is mentioned in all four canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in the New Testament. He is depicted as a wealthy disciple of Jesus and a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council. This teaches us that we can be relevant in any area we identify ourselves in the kingdom of God, serving with the little we have.
  • BURIAL OF JESUS: Joseph of Arimathea played a crucial role in the burial of Jesus Christ. After Jesus was crucified, Joseph boldly approached Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and requested permission to bury Jesus’ body. Pilate granted his request, and Joseph, along with Nicodemus, another secret disciple of Jesus, prepared Jesus’ body for burial and laid it in a tomb. With the act of bravery, the gospel of Christ, His death, and resurrection cannot be preached without placing emphasis on the vital role he played.
  • FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY: Joseph’s actions in burying Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, particularly Isaiah 53:9, which states that the Messiah would be buried in a rich man’s tomb. This underscores the messianic identity of Jesus and the fulfilment of Scripture in his life and death.
  • SYMBOL OF COURAGE AND DEVOTION: Joseph’s bravery in seeking permission to bury Jesus, despite potential repercussions from the Roman authorities and his fellow Jews, demonstrates his devotion to Jesus and his commitment to honouring him even in death. His actions serve as an example of courage and loyalty to believers.
  • HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Joseph’s role as a member of the Sanhedrin and his association with Jesus provide historical and cultural context to the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. His prominence as a wealthy and respected figure adds credibility to the gospel accounts.

You can have enough, own abundance, excel greatly, possess great wealth, be a genius, and yet die without remembrance. There have been more rich, famous, and wealthy individuals who once lived, but after their departure, there’s no trace of them, not even in their own lineage. It takes simple but strategic moves, initiatives, and assistance to be remembered for life.

Arimathea was not considered the most powerful preacher, not the eloquent disciple, nor mentioned as a pivotal yet in his small way, made a historic and significant input in Christianity. The gospel cannot be preached without making reference to Joseph of Arimathea. He now holds significant importance in Christianity.

Overall, Joseph of Arimathea’s significance lies in his pivotal role in the burial of Jesus Christ, which not only fulfilled prophecy but also symbolized devotion, courage, and the historicity of Jesus’ life and death.

I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU AS ORPHANS web

“I Will Not Leave You As Orphans”

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

Blessed day, people of God. It is an honour to contribute to the knowledge of the body of Christ. This study seeks to help believers understand the life of the Christian with and without the Holy Spirit. Fast forward to some occasions, Jesus tells His disciples by reassuring them that He will leave, but after He leaves, there is no circumstance where He will leave them as orphans. John 14:18-20 vividly says, “I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you. Yet, in a little while, the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live. On that day, you will know that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.” This vividly tells us the intentions of Jesus Christ as a people of God who will forever have a father, helper, and comforter. Jesus, before the ascension, assured His disciples of the Holy Spirit after His ascension.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ORPHAN

In recent times, the heart of the orphan has certain traits due to their condition. The lack of biological parental care has led to the exhibition and nature of this group of people. Below are some stated characteristics of orphans in our societies:

  • THEY ARE CHARACTERISED BY NEGLECT: They tend to be affected by the neglect of their parents, guardians, or loved ones. Hence, they are emotionally affected by the spirit of neglect, which tends to affect the well-being of this group of people. With the absence of their parents, they are taken away by the need to belong and the will to go to great lengths to find acceptance in our communities. This makes them liable to manipulation and abuse, which, gradually, can result in them being affected and having a sense of guilt for not having parents.
  • THEY ARE MOSTLY INSECURE AND IRRESPONSIBLE: The nature of an orphan is typically characterised by insecurities and irresponsibility since they do not have biological mentors. They tend to have little or no life experience, lessons, and values of life. They are also insecure in that the absence of the head factor (Father) causes them to have no sense of security at all or very little. They have no one to lean on in times of crisis and no one to boast about in times of need.

The statement of Jesus Christ stating that He will not leave us as orphans highlights His care for the welfare of the believer and assures the Christian of the ordinance of the Holy Spirit. This states the necessity of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. Lessons learned from the life of the orphan depict the nature of the believer without the infilling and dwelling of the Holy Spirit. It further classifies such believers as orphans in this Kingdom business.

THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

  • The believer, without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, has zero strength to fight against the world. As stated earlier, the life of the orphan is one characterised by neglect. This vividly depicts the life of the believer without the Holy Spirit as one who feels some sense of neglect. Believers are, therefore, encouraged to seek with humility the infilling of the Holy Spirit in all aspects of their lives.
  • The believer, also, without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, is mostly insecure. The Holy Spirit, who is a part of the trinity nature of God, informs the believer of what is ahead and what is at hand. The Holy Spirit controls and directs the believer to secure places according to the will of God. A believer, therefore, without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, lives an unaware life, being ignorant of what is next since the spirit factor is missing.

THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in the life of the believer since it brings unity between the believer and Christ while bringing him into the full body of Christ.

Many verses of the Bible (John 14:26, John 16:17, John 14:16) define the Holy Spirit as a Helper who helps the Christian to run the race to the end. The Holy Spirit becomes the epicentre to help the believer in this modern world of sin by giving out gifts according to His will to believers to sail through this world of sin. Also, the Holy Spirit in a person bears some fruit, which can be found in Galatians 5:22-23. This equips the believer with the necessary values needed to hold on and sail through to the end.

Also, the Holy Spirit serves as a comforter to the believer (John 16:7). Yes, the life of the believer with the Holy Spirit may not be smooth, but there comes our Holy Spirit once again who plays the role of a comforter to the believer and helps the believer to once again step up and keep going. Unlike the orphan who has barely or no one to talk to, the Holy Spirit is the best friend and the personal person for the believer who never leaves the body in times of downfall but rather divinely comforts the believer by any means possible to get back on His feet.

Believers are, therefore, encouraged day to day to yearn for the dwelling and infilling of the Holy Spirit very often since it plays a vital role in unleashing the believer to transform all spheres of their life.

Christ Death Has Broken All Curses – Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman Asserts

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah-Agyeman, the Teshie-Nungua Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has affirmed that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross has broken all curses on the lives of believers.

Speaking on the topic, “The transforming power of the cross unleashed,” with Scripture reference from 1 Corinthians 1:18 at the PIWCs Zone Convention held at the PIWC Sakumono on Good Friday, Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman stated: “All our curses, including generational curses have all been canceled.”

Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman explained that for God to create things, he only had to speak, but when it got to the redemption of human beings, God had to bleed, saying, “He had to take that difficult route to be nailed for blood to come out of him to redeem us.”

Throwing light on the salvation from Christ, the Area Head indicated that being saved, which in Greek language is termed “Sozo,” means being made whole, adding that God by this “Sozo” has cleansed believers from all unrighteousness, redeemed and healed all who accept Christ.

Quoting from Mathew 27:28 and Isaiah 53:5, Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman explained that the two thieves who were crucified alongside Jesus represented rebellion and righteousness. He noted that the man on the left side represents rebellion which is like witchcraft.

“Although we have been saved, we are still in rebellion, we are still stealing and gossiping and threatening divorce to our spouses among others,” he said.

He added that the solution to a rebellious attitude is redemption. Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman called on all and sundry to “put everything at the feet of Jesus since he has worked on it already,” while stressing on the need to let go of all pain and disappointment because of the cross.

The four-day convention of the Teshie-Nungua Area was divided into six zones and held at various centres, including PIWC Sakumono, Greda Estate, GHACEM Park, Baatsona, Nungua Town Park and Camp 2 Park.

Other speakers included Apostle Rigwell Ato Addison (Rtd) – former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Philip Osei-Korsah (Director of the Counselling Ministry of the Church), Pastor Felix Okyere Anti (Resident Minister of PIWC Graceland), Pastor Solomon Kwasi Kyei (Resident Minister of PIWC Sakumono) and Deaconess Isabella Orhin.
