La Area Honours Four Long-Serving Officers At Retirement Service web.jpg

La Area Honours Four Long-Serving Officers At Retirement Service

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Avenor District of The Church of Pentecost in the La Area was filled with gratitude and solemn reflection on Sunday, April 12, 2026, as four devoted officers were honoured for their long-standing service to the Church.

The retirees—Elder Emmanuel Oppong Owusu (44 years), Elder David Bronya Ntimah (30 years), Deaconess Beatrice Omari Asare (37 years), and Deaconess Christiana Oppong Owusu (33 years)—collectively served the Church for an impressive 144 years in various leadership roles.

Delivering a sermon titled “Crossing the Jordan,” the La Area Head, Apostle Dr. Dieudonne K. Nuekpe, drew inspiration from Joshua 4:1-7, likening the journey of the retirees to that of Joshua, who succeeded Moses and led the Israelites across the Jordan River. He noted that just as Joshua encountered challenges, including the overflowing Jordan, the honoured officers had also navigated the “wilderness of leadership” over several decades.

“Some were not able to cross their own Jordan, and others were halted along the way. But anyone who, by grace, has journeyed through leadership for over four decades, serving under different administrations, deserves to be acknowledged and commended,” he stated.

Apostle Nuekpe described the occasion as a “memorial stone,” urging the Church and future generations to draw inspiration from the faithfulness and dedication of the retirees.

While celebrating their transition from active leadership, he reminded them that their ultimate goal remains eternal life, not retirement. He encouraged them to continue supporting the Church through prayer and wise counsel, cautioning against any actions that could hinder emerging leadership. He also advised current leaders to serve diligently while they have the strength and opportunity.

He concluded with an exhortation from 1 Corinthians 15:58, urging all to remain steadfast and committed to the work of the Lord, assuring them that their labour in the Lord is not in vain.

The service, hosted by the Avenor District Minister, Pastor Edward Boakye, and his wife, with the support of the District Executive Committee, Presbytery, and the entire congregation, attracted several dignitaries. Among them were Apostle Yaw Agyei Kwarteng and his wife, Mrs. Bridget Agyei Kwarteng of the Kwadaso Area, retired ministers Pastor (Rtd.) George Kwesi Timinca and Pastor (Rtd.) Francis Amewugah with their spouses, as well as ministers from the La Area and beyond. Traditional leaders, including the Avenor Mantse and the Anum Chief, also graced the occasion with their entourage.

Jesus is the Only Accredited High Priest in Divinity & Humanity — Pastor Ameyaw Frempong

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesUncategorized

The Sepe-Buokrom District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Stephen Ameyaw Frempong, has underscored that Jesus Christ is the only High Priest appointed by God and perfectly identified with humanity, mandated to redeem mankind from sin and its devastating effects.

He made this known during a sermon titled “Jesus Christ: The Accredited High Priest,” delivered under the overarching theme “Jesus Christ: Our High Priest,” at the 2026 New Tafo Zone Easter Convention held on Saturday morning, April 4, 2026, at the Buokrom Methodist School Park.

Quoting Hebrews 3:1 and 9:12, Pastor Ameyaw Frempong traced the origin of the broken relationship between humanity and God, explaining that the fall of man led to the departure of God’s glory, leaving humanity exposed and isolated. He noted that this separation created the need for a mediator to reconcile mankind to God, ultimately fulfilled through the birth and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:21).

“Humans are subject to sin and death. Just as high priests must first atone for their own sins before those of the people, they cannot be perfect mediators. Jesus Christ, being sinless and eternal, alone qualifies as the true High Priest for both God and humanity,” he stated.

Citing Hebrews 5:5–6 and Psalm 110:4, Pastor Ameyaw Frempong stressed that Jesus’ priesthood was divinely ordained, highlighting key attributes that affirm His accreditation, including His unique birth, sinless life, miraculous ministry, and the supernatural events surrounding His death and resurrection.

He emphasised that beyond His sacrificial role, Jesus Christ continues to intercede for believers, serving as an eternal High Priest. Pastor Ameyaw Frempong, therefore, urged Christians to remain steadfast in their faith and to lead lives marked by holiness and righteousness, as people redeemed by the Lord.

New Tafo Area Climaxes 2026 Easter Convention

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost has successfully concluded this year’s Easter Convention, held from Wednesday, April 1 to Sunday, April 5, 2026, under the theme “Jesus Christ: Our High Priest,” (Hebrews 3:1 and 9:11).

The convention, which was opened with the Festival of 11 Lessons and Passion Songs, took place across four zonal centres in the Area—New Tafo, Kenyasi, Mile 3, and Bonwire.

In a sermon to round off the event in the New Tafo Zone at the Buokrom Methodist School Park, the Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh, spoke on the topic, “Jesus Christ: Our High Priest Is Risen.”

Drawing from Matthew 28:1–7, he explained that while the natural decomposition of the body after death is common to all humans, Jesus Christ, though fully human, did not experience corruption when He died and was buried.

“Jesus never saw corruption,” he emphasised, indicating that Christ’s body was divinely preserved, culminating in His resurrection on the third day. He noted that unlike the priests of Israel who died and remained in the grave, Jesus rose from the dead, affirming His eternal priesthood.

Prophet Tetteh Doku further stated that, following His resurrection and ascension, Christ continually intercedes for believers and grants them access to the throne of grace. He added that believers have also been equipped with spiritual enablement for service.

According to him, believers now carry apostolic power to overcome life’s challenges and prophetic grace for multiplication and fruitfulness. He explained that the authority to forgive sins, the revelation of God as Father, and guidance in prayer are all made possible through Christ’s priestly ministry.

Though not from the tribe of Levi, the New Tafo Area Head indicated that Christ was appointed by God, rendering His priesthood superior. Quoting Hebrews 7:26–28, he described Christ as holy, blameless, and set apart from sinners, making Him uniquely qualified for the role.

Prophet Tetteh Doku mentioned that while the high priests of Israel repeatedly offered sacrifices, including for their own sins, Jesus offered Himself once and for all as a perfect sacrifice.

He concluded by affirming that the power in the name of Jesus is anchored in the reality that He is alive, giving believers confidence for victorious Christian living.

A total attendance of 6,292 was recorded at the New Tafo Zone, with 24 souls won and 61 persons receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Stop Doubting and Believe – Apostle Sanpha Charges Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The National Head of The Church of Pentecost in Sierra Leone, Apostle More Sanpha, has urged Christians to overcome doubt and develop solid faith in Jesus Christ, describing doubt as a major hindrance to spiritual growth.

He made this charge on Sunday, April 12, 2026, during a sermon on the topic “Believe” at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) in Freetown, drawing from John 20:24–29.

Apostle Sanpha explained that Jesus Christ has fully accomplished the work of redemption, restoring humanity’s relationship with God and granting believers direct access to Him. He stressed that since Christ has done everything necessary for salvation, believers must take personal responsibility for their spiritual lives.

“If you are not successful, do not blame Jesus, but yourself,” he stated, noting that doubt weakens faith and affects the efficacy of prayer.

Describing doubt as an enemy of spiritual progress, he urged Christians to heed Jesus’ words to Thomas to stop doubting and believe, and to walk in the blessings secured through Christ.

He further emphasised that Christianity is personal and requires consistency. “Revival must start with you before it spreads to your family,” he said.

Citing Romans 3:23, Apostle Sanpha reiterated the need for a Saviour, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, while lamenting that many believers fail to practise the Word they hear.

Referencing Hebrews 11 and Ephesians 1:3, he encouraged Christians to live by faith and remain confident in the spiritual blessings available in Christ.

Also present were Pastor Ivan Fayama Turay, Resident Minister of PIWC Freetown; Pastor Dr. Felix Dela Klutse, Director of the Pent Media Centre; and Deacon Joseph Attoh, who are in the country for media training sessions.

Shanghai District Climaxes Easter Convention with Spirit-Filled Grand Celebration

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost (COP) China, Shanghai District, successfully climaxed its 2026 Easter Convention with a vibrant celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The four-day event, which began on Thursday, April 2, 2026, concluded on Sunday afternoon, April 5, 2026, with an in-person service held at the Shanghai City Worship Centre (SCWC) and streamed live via the e-church module for members who could not attend physically.

The auditorium of the Shanghai City Worship Centre was filled with approximately one hundred congregants drawn from various Assemblies across the District, including Jiangsu City Worship Centre (JCWC), Nanjing PIWC, and Anhui City Worship Centre (ACWC).

Members travelled from different parts of the district to commemorate the triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of humanity. The earlier sessions of the convention were held virtually to accommodate the geographically dispersed membership across the eastern provinces of China.

The District Minister, Probationary Overseer Dr Wisdom Dewortor, opened the convention with a sermon on the theme, “The Rugged Cross: The Sinner’s Joy.” In his message, he expounded on the significance of the cross as a symbol of redemption and outlined the events leading to Christ’s crucifixion, including His condemnation, suffering, and ultimate sacrifice.

He emphasised that Jesus’ death cancelled the debt of sin and disarmed the powers of darkness, urging believers to strengthen their faith in God and remain vigilant against the schemes of the enemy.

During the climax service on Sunday, Elder Anokye-Wusu delivered a prophetic exhortation reminding believers of the victory secured through the finished work of Christ on the cross. The message encouraged members to remain steadfast in their relationship with the Lord and to trust in the peace, healing, and victory made available through Christ’s sacrifice.

Also ministering during the service, Elder Maxwell Aidoo preached on the topic, “The Rugged Cross Where the Sinner Finds Joy, Victory and a New Life,” based on Colossians 2:13-15. He explained that what was intended as an instrument of shame became a symbol of victory through Christ’s death and resurrection.

According to him, through Christ’s sacrifice, believers have been reconciled to God, forgiven of their sins, and empowered to live victorious lives as members of a royal priesthood.

The congregation was later led in fervent prayers by Brother Eugene Ray, the National Intercessory Team Leader, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere marked by unity and renewed devotion.

The convention also reflected the multicultural nature of the Shanghai District, bringing together believers from diverse national and cultural backgrounds. The participation of members from francophone nations enriched the worship experience, with special song ministrations by Dr Anasia Elingaya Saria and the Swahili Band.

The live streaming of services through the e-church module, facilitated by Dr. Philip Amor Narh and the District Media Ministry, enabled members across distant locations to participate fully in the convention.

As the convention ended, members departed with renewed faith, strengthened hope, and a deeper appreciation of the redemptive work of Christ, committed to carrying the message of His finished work into their respective communities.

Apostle Nsaful Urges Believers To Offer Spiritual “Spices” To Christ web.jpg

Apostle Nsaful Urges Believers To Offer Spiritual “Spices” To Christ

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Daniel Yeboah Nsaful, Old Tafo Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians to “carry their spices to the tomb of Jesus” as a demonstration of a life that is pleasing to God.

He made this call on Easter Sunday while preaching to members of the Old Tafo Zone in the Old Tafo Area during the Easter celebrations held under the theme, “He Is Risen,” based on John 19:30.

In his message, Apostle Nsaful highlighted the significance of the actions of the three women – Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome – who visited the tomb of Jesus early on Easter morning with spices to anoint His body. He explained that their act symbolised devotion, commitment, and reverence, qualities that remain relevant to the Christian faith today.

According to him, spices have historically been used as preservatives to prevent decay, and the women’s intention to preserve the body of Jesus reflected their deep love and honour for Him. However, he noted that their expectation was surpassed when they discovered that Jesus had risen from the dead. Apostle Nsaful encouraged believers to develop what he described as a “spicy mindset,” explaining that the Body of Christ must continually exhibit virtues that prevent spiritual decay and enable Christianity to transform lives and impact society.

He further observed that the women’s early visit to the tomb demonstrated their commitment to prioritising the Kingdom of God. He therefore urged believers, particularly women in the Church, to emulate their example by placing God’s work above all other pursuits and remaining faithful in service to the Kingdom.

Speaking on the benefits of Christ’s resurrection, Apostle Nsaful stated that the resurrection calls for a transformed lifestyle that clearly distinguishes believers from unbelievers. He reminded the congregation that having received the Gospel of Salvation, Christians must fully embrace the message of the Kingdom to strengthen and sustain their faith.

He also addressed issues affecting Christian growth, noting that truthfulness, discipline, and self-control are areas where many believers face challenges. He particularly cautioned the youth against the pursuit of quick wealth, urging them to embrace patience, make wise decisions, and combine prayer with diligent effort as part of their reasonable service to God. Apostle Nsaful concluded by charging believers to rise to righteousness and holy living, emphasising that since Christ has risen, Christians must reflect His resurrection through godly conduct and unwavering faith.
