The Uniqueness Of Christianity Lies In The Death & Resurrection Of Jesus Christ – Apostle Andoh

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Frederick Kweku Andoh, the Assin Foso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, emphasised that Christianity is distinct among all religions due to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Speaking at the climax of the 2024 Easter Convention held at Assin Foso Jomsco School Park on Sunday, March 31, 2024, Andoh addressed the topic, “The Message, Evidence, Effects, and the Commission of the Resurrection” with 1Corinthians 5:21, 1Corinthians 15:1-9, and Romans 4:25 as scripture references.

“The foundation of Christianity is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is what makes Christianity unique among all other religions,” he affirmed.

Apostle Andoh further noted that Jesus’ resurrection was vicarious because he did not die for his own sins but for humanity’s.

He asserted that among the many people to whom Jesus revealed himself after his resurrection was his brother, James. This, he said, was significant evidence of Jesus’ resurrection because, until then, James, like other Jews, did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah.

“The evidence of the resurrection motivates action,” he emphasized.

Apostle Andoh encouraged all believers to continue propagating the message of the resurrection, which communicates the Lordship of Jesus and our total obedience to him.

He also stressed that the resurrection message must prompt us to walk in righteousness and learn to forgive one another.

The climax of the convention, held at the Area Level, brought together political figures, royals, and other dignitaries in the area.

Jesus' Utmost Obedience Resulted In Our Eternal Salvation - Apostle Kwafo web

Jesus’ Utmost Obedience Resulted In Our Eternal Salvation – Apostle Kwafo

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, the National Coordinator for the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost, has advised Christians to be willing to serve God even at their inconvenience because their salvation was borne out of Jesus’ utmost obedience.

Apostle Kwafo said this during the Good Friday Morning Session of the 2024 Easter Convention of the Mamprobi Zone in the Dansoman Area held at the Salvation Army Cluster of Schools Park.

Speaking on the topic: “Jesus’ Utmost Obedience Is Our Eternal Salvation” with Hebrews 5:7-10 as key references, Apostle Agyei Kwafo stressed that there may be various forms of salvation, but it is only the salvation that Christ offers that is eternal.

He explained that Good Friday marks the beginning of a new chapter, hence it is a day believers should always remember and celebrate.

“It symbolises the victory of Jesus Christ for us and marks the start of our journey as Christians.

“So, we must keep Easter alive, reaffirming our faith, praying for unbelievers, strengthening our bond with God, and cherishing fellowship with other believers,” he said.

He further noted that “Jesus Christ is not merely a human prophet; rather, He is the Son of God and God Himself.”

According to him, despite Christ’s divine nature, He humbly obeyed His Father’s will, even unto death, to secure our salvation.

“While there may be many people claiming to be saviors, the Jesus Christ of the Bible is unique—He is the only one who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, appearing to many after His resurrection,” he stated.

Apostle Kwafo explained that in biblical history, the first high priest, Aaron, and the last priest Caiaphas, had flaws, but Jesus remains the only High Priest who is without sin.

“Aaron led the people of Israel to worship idols made with their earrings, and the last high priest in the life of Jesus Christ, Caiaphas, was part of the crucifixion plan of Jesus Christ. However, Jesus Christ is the only high priest who is perfect in obedience, submitting to the eternal will of the Father,” he said.

He, therefore, advised Christians to be prayerful, recognising that their salvation was birthed out of Jesus’ prayerful obedience.

“Jesus recognised that his personal human will could interfere with the eternal will of His Father, so He earnestly prayed and submitted to His Father’s [God’s] eternal will,” he added.

JESUS CHRIST, THE CRUCIFIED CONQUEROR web

Jesus Christ, The Crucified Conqueror, Negated The Handwriting Of Ordinance Against Us: A Biblical Look Into Hezekiah’s Letter

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

MAIN TEXT: ISAIAH 37:14-20 & COLOSSIANS 1:14-15

INTRODUCTION

In anticipation, there was a divine and supernatural shift in ordinance when the formal handwriting of sin and its reproach was negated by the latter, which was written by the blood of Jesus Christ, not with ink, disqualifying the antique written code, unpaid debt, ancient decrees, the law of ordinance, and the commandment of death and sin against all human race being unequivocally blotted out, wiped away, and erased through the vicarious death of Christ who conquered death and sin on the cross.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

WHAT IS AN ORDINANCE?

An ordinance is a Christian rite associated with tangible elements (water, bread, and wine) that is celebrated by the church of Jesus Christ. The term is closely associated with the word sacrament, which is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace.

WHAT IS THE HANDWRITING OF THE ORDINANCE?

The handwriting of ordinances mentioned in Colossians 2:14 does not refer to the Law of Moses. They claim that since the word ordinances in Colossians 2:14 comes from the Greek word dogma (dog’-mah) it cannot refer to the Law of Moses.

The handwriting of the ordinance, therefore, is simply the written code of sin that was inked against all humanity from the time man fell in the Garden of Eden through disobedience, which was the punishment of death and a lake of fire.

THE CRUX MAIN TEXT – ISAIAH 37: 14-20

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF KING HEZEKIAH’S ACTION

a) Hezekiah departed to the temple of God and in the house of the LORD, and spread the letter before God.

Hezekiah did exactly what any child of God should do with such a letter. In fact, anyone struggling with an ordinance of sin in his life is just to turn to the maker of life who is able to transform and save as well. He took it to the house of the LORD (to the outer courts, not the holy place), and he spread it before the LORD. In this, Hezekiah boldly and effectively fulfilled the later command of 1 Peter 5:7.

b) The LORD of host:

The almighty God is the chief army commander of his people, and so when crises of such sought arose, he was consulted. This title for our God essentially means “LORD of armies.” Hezekiah was in a crisis that was primarily military in nature, so it made sense for him to address the LORD first according to the aspect of God’s nature that was most needful for him.

c) “LORD of armies, send some troops to help us!” God of Israel:

This title was actually used by the King to re-echo to God that the people of Israel were his people.

This title for God also reminded Hezekiah, in our human way of understanding, that the LORD God was the covenant God of Israel and that He should not forsake His people.

c) The One who dwells between the cherubim:

At this point, Hezekiah views God’s greatness in the context of Him dwelling between cherubim who is strong and majestic would not allow Rabshakeh to overcome his people.

d) “You are God, you alone”:

God is a simple title for our LORD, but perhaps the most powerful. If He is God, then what can He do? If He is God, then what is beyond His control? Hezekiah realizes the most fundamental fact of all theology: God is God, and we are not! God is God, and Rabshakeh or the Assyrians are not!

e) “You have made heaven and earth”:

In recognizing the LORD God as Creator, Hezekiah saw that the LORD had all power and all rights over every created thing. We can almost feel Hezekiah’s faith rising as he prayed this.

f) “Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see”:

In this verse, let me explain with how in Exodus 3:3-4 the crying of the people of God, the Israelites when they were in captivity went up to the Lord and God said I have heard about the cry of my people and I have come down to deliver them.

Hezekiah knew very well that the LORD did in fact hear and see the blasphemies of Rabshakeh. This is a poetic way of asking God to act upon what He has seen and heard, assuming that if God has seen such things, He will certainly act.

HUMANITY AND THE WRITTEN CONTEXT FROM THE BACKDROP OF HEZEKIAH’S KINGSHIP

Humankind had also received a letter of death and destruction from the camp of Satan when from the day Adam sinned against God and have obey the devil. Man was destined to hell and the lake of fire forever and ever but when he took the people of Israel as his nation and they cried unto him which was in alignment of God’s plan for humanity he sent forth his son to remove the handwriting of inscription that was against us and to change the verdict from death to life and hope in everlasting life and power.

LET’S ALSO DEAL WITH THE SECOND TEXT COLOSSIANS 2:13-15

a) “And took it out of the way”:

In Galatians 3:13 we read, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hanged on a tree.”

When Christ was impaled or crucified on the cross or “tree,” He was made a curse by taking our sins. The Law was not a curse. But sin due to breaking of God’s Law put a note of debt on our heads. This note of sinful guilt due to following Ways contrary to God’s Law was against us until Christ lifted the curse from us.

The Law was not nailed to the stake or cross Christ was (John 19:17, 18). The record of our sins was nailed to the stake in His body (I Peter 2:24).

Now we all can better understand Colossians 2:14. Notice this verse again as it stands in the King James Version. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to use, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”

b) “Sins Blotted Out”:

Let’s now see how the context of Colossians proves how this “handwriting of ordinances” refers to the record of our sins. Colossians 2 explains: “In whom [Christ] also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ” (verse 11). Paul elsewhere reveals we are to be circumcised “in the heart.”

c) “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it”:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12.

What are these principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness?

But revelation points out that spiritual beings often carry out God’s purpose in the natural world, and not only as messengers. (Exodus 12:23, 2 Samuel 24:16, Ps 91:11, Ps 34:7, Ex 23:20).

Principalities and powers simply describe angelic powers, those invisible, whether they be good or bad. But, in this context, the verse turns dark with the mention of the rulers and the spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Daniel 10:10-21.

This passage in the whole of scriptures might be the one that speaks most clearly about the invisible powers which rule and influence nations. It speaks about “patron” angels that preside over the destinies of particular nations: a prince of Persia, a prince of Greece, and Michael, a chief prince of Israel.

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. Revelation 12:7.

So, Israel has a spiritual champion (Dan. 10:21) and there are powers opposed to Israel. These “princes” of the heathen powers will face God and be judged in the future for their deeds as any other created being.

d) “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”

Jesus Christ went to hell on the day he was crucified and made public spectacle of them all and triumphed over them. He destroyed the works he took Satan off his throne and made a showdown of all demons in hell and took away the keys of life and death and resurrected hallelujah.

CONCLUSION

Colossians 2:14 explains that even more. It says that Jesus “canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” The debt of our sins has been paid by Jesus’ death on the cross.

A TASTE OF SIN AND THE IMPORTANCE web

A Taste Of Sin And The Importance Of Upholding Suspensions In The Church Community

by with No Comment ArticlesTop Stories

Inspired by the touching narrative of “A Taste of Sin,” a new Christian movie trending, this article aims to underscore the significance of adhering to church principles, particularly concerning the suspension of church members from activities.

The film portrays the journey of a pastor suspended from the church due to an affair with a choir member, resulting in her tragic death from an abortion. However, through genuine repentance during his suspension, both God and the church restored him.

While the movie primarily serves as a cautionary tale for men of God and Christians to remain vigilant against temptation, it prompts a deeper examination of a vital church practice: SUSPENSIONS.

In the realm of religious communities, the decision to suspend church members from activities and gatherings is often met with mixed reactions. While some view it as a harsh measure, others see it as essential for maintaining the integrity of the church’s principles and doctrines. Often a contentious topic due to misunderstandings, suspensions play a crucial role in maintaining integrity and accountability within the church community.

This article delves into the significance of such actions, drawing insights from both biblical references and practical everyday life events.

Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that the concept of discipline within the church has its roots in biblical teachings. In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus lays out a clear process for handling disputes within the church community, which includes steps for addressing wrongdoing and, if necessary, eventual exclusion from the fellowship: “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”

This passage underscores the importance of accountability and discipline within the church body. By suspending members from activities and gatherings, church leadership demonstrates a commitment to upholding biblical standards and addressing behavior that deviates from those standards.

Moreover, the decision to suspend members serves as a form of protection for the broader church community. Just as leaven can leaven the whole lump (1 Corinthians 5:6), allowing unrepentant sin to go unchecked within the congregation can have detrimental effects on the spiritual health and unity of the body. Suspending members sends a clear message that certain behaviors are incompatible with the values and beliefs of the church, thereby safeguarding its integrity and witness to the world.

In practical everyday life, we encounter numerous situations where accountability and discipline are necessary for the well-being of a community. In a workplace setting, for example, employees who consistently violate company policies may face suspension or termination to maintain productivity and morale. Similarly, in sports teams, players who engage in unsportsmanlike conduct or violate team rules may be benched or suspended from games to uphold the integrity of the sport and the team’s reputation.

Likewise, in the context of the church, suspending members from activities is not an act of condemnation but rather an opportunity for repentance and restoration. Galatians 6:1 reminds believers to restore those who have fallen away in a spirit of gentleness, emphasizing the ultimate goal of reconciliation and healing within the body.

What is rather troubling is the hypocrisy within some circles in the church community enforcing this practice of suspension in a biased way. Sometimes, church members face the full rigor of the suspension, while other church leaders who fall prey are handled in a rather favored manner. This sometimes causes disaffection among the church populace. If the law can be implemented in an impartial, fair, and firm manner no matter who falls victim, then the intent and purposes of suspensions in the Church can be achieved. This underscores the importance of consistency and integrity in the application of disciplinary measures, ensuring that all members are held accountable to the same standards regardless of their position or status within the church hierarchy.

In conclusion, the significance of suspending church members from activities and gatherings cannot be understated. It reflects a commitment to biblical principles, protects the integrity of the church community, and provides an opportunity for repentance and restoration. By upholding accountability and discipline, the church maintains its witness to the world and fosters a community marked by grace, love, and holiness.

Jesus’ Resurrection Has Given Believers A New Identity - Prophet Tetteh Doku web

Jesus’ Resurrection Has Given Believers A New Identity – Prophet Tetteh Doku

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, the New Tafo Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has emphasised the profound impact of Jesus’ resurrection on believers, transforming their identities into children of God filled with power and anointing to perform great works.

He shared the story of Peter, who, once timid, became bold and confident in preaching the Gospel and performing miracles, signs and wonders after being filled with the Holy Spirit, showcasing the significant influence of the resurrection on believers to illustrate his point.

During a service with the New Tafo Zone on Resurrection Sunday [March 31, 2024] at the New Tafo M/A School Park to conclude their Easter Convention, Prophet Tetteh Doku delivered a message on the topic: “Unleashed To Transform Your World Through the Power of the Resurrection,” drawing references from Philippians 3:10-11 and Ephesians 1:18-20.

In his sermon, the New Tafo Area Head highlighted the effects of Jesus’ resurrection, categorizing them into three stages: pre-resurrection, resurrection, and post-resurrection, explaining the significant events that occurred during each phase.

He stressed the importance of Jesus’ death and resurrection opening the way for gentiles to be included in God’s salvation plan.

Emphasising the uniqueness and distinctiveness of Jesus’ resurrection, Prophet Tetteh Doku contrasted it with other instances of people being raised from the dead, such as Lazarus and the saints who came back to life at the time of Jesus’ death. He explained that while these individuals eventually died again due to their mortal nature, Jesus, being God, could not be held by death as He triumphantly rose from the grave and is forever alive (Acts 2:24). He declared, “Just as Christ conquered death through His resurrection, we too shall rise in the last days.”

He urged the congregation to courageously apply their transformed selves to make a meaningful impact within their various spheres of influence without being paralyzed by fear, for God is with them.

Encouraging those facing hardships and contemplating suicide to turn to Jesus for transformation and eternal life, the clergyman underscored the hope and assurance in Christ Jesus.

The 2024 New Tafo Area Easter Convention was held under the theme: “Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and the Life,” – (John 11:25) in five zones, with PIWC-New Tafo operating independently.

The New Tafo Zone, comprising three districts – New Tafo, Yennyawoso, and Ashtown, drew a total of 4,957 members at the conclusion of the event.

The Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Graceland, has fully funded a 200-seating capacity church building at a total cost of GHS 170,000.00 for the Nyorigu Assembly in the Bawku District of The Church of Pentecost.

The Nyorigu Assembly church building was dedicated by the Bawku Area Head, Pastor Eric Gyacham, on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

Before the intervention by PIWC-Graceland, the Nyorigu Assembly had been meeting under a deciduous tree for seven years since its establishment. However, the lack of an appropriate place of worship did not deter the members from their commitment to fellowship and worship.

During the dedication service, members of the Assembly, who view the new building as a miraculous gift from the Lord, expressed their joy through songs of praise and dance.

Pastor Eric Gyacham also commended PIWC-Graceland, specifically acknowledging Pastor Felix Anti (Resident Minister), his wife, Mrs. Gifty Anti, Elder Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong (Presiding Elder), the presbytery, and all church members for their generous support towards the building project.

The Bawku Area of The Church of Pentecost demonstrated a compassionate gesture by celebrating Easter with the inmates of the Bawku Prisons and other Police Cells on Monday, April 1, 2024.

This event was part of the church’s Chaplaincy Ministry efforts to provide spiritual support and care to those incarcerated in the prison facility.

The Area, over the period, has been actively involved in offering chaplaincy services to the Bawku prison facility and other Police Cells. These services have had a significant impact on the inmates, leading many of them to embrace Christianity and find solace in their faith during their time of incarceration.

Moreover, to fulfil the scriptural mandate of visiting neighbours in prison, all the districts in the Area were encouraged to pay a visit to Police Cells as a climax of the Easter Season to share the love of God in words and presents.

During the ceremony held at the forecourt of the Prison facility, Pastor Eric Gyacham, the Area Head, presented items valued at GHS 6,000.00 to the Prison Warders on behalf of the inmates. The donated items included essential supplies such as first aid kits, a sack of Gari, a sack of maize, a sack of beans, a gallon of red oil, soaps for personal hygiene, and cooked foods for immediate consumption.

The Zebilla Zone, comprising the Zebilla, Tanga Aramkoliga, and Teshie districts, also offered items worth GHS 1,000.00 to the Zebilla Police Cell.

This act of generosity not only provided much-needed material support to the inmates but also served as a symbol of hope and solidarity during the Easter season, resulting in eight inmates surrendering their lives to Christ.

The Tamale Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost has offered support to the Tamale Teaching Hospital as part of the Easter festivities.

A church delegation led by Mrs. Agatha Tawiah, the wife of the Tamale Area Head and the Area Women’s Ministry Leader, and comprising Area Women’s Ministry Executive Committee Members, Ministers’ Wives, and District Women Ministry Leaders from the Tamale Metropolis, visited the facility on Saturday, March 30, 2024.

The team was received by the management of the hospital led by Mr. Saakaa Danladi, Head of Finance, in the company of other senior staff of the facility.

As part of the visit, the women donated some chairs to the hospital and also branded the Children’s ward with educational stickers.

Presenting the items, Mrs. Agatha Tawiah said that the Women’s Ministry has been making such presentations in many places as it aligns with the “Possessing the Nations” agenda, dubbed “Vision 2028,” which encourages members of the Church to provide social services to the community.

Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital, Mr. Danladi expressed gratitude to the church for the gesture, which he believed would bring smiles to the faces of the children and their mothers.

He stressed the need for more collaboration like this because the government cannot meet the infrastructural needs of the citizenry alone. Parents and children on admission were filled with joy that such a gesture had been extended to them.

Present at the brief presentation ceremony were Mr. Mohammed Bukari Suglo (representing the Head of the Department), Hajia Rahinatu Abdul-Salam (Administrator of Radiology and the Coordinator of the donation), Hajia Habiba Lawal (DDNS, Trauma Sub-BMC), and Amadu Rashida S.

Ekroful District Women’s Ministry Organizes Inter-Assemblies Easter Cooking Competition

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

It was a great scene on Easter Monday, April 1, 2024, where women from the various assemblies in the Ekroful District in The Church of Pentecost faced off against each other in a memorable cooking competition to round up this year’s Easter Festivities.

The event, which was organized to promote local foods, saw the women prepare various indigenous foods and drinks such as Waakye with shito and chicken gravy, Fufu with “Ebunobuno” soup, Cocoyam with garden eggs stew, Fruit salad, Watermelon juice, Tuo Zaafi, and some local drinks.

In a brief remark, the Ekroful District Minister, Pastor Edward Asamoah Antwi, charged the congregation to cultivate the habit of preparing their own indigenous foods.

“If you want to have a healthy and prolonged life, aside from God helping us, we should advise ourselves to feed on what we grow in our farms. Because, going by that is not only healthy but also economized,” he added.

He also commended the District Women’s Ministry Leader, Deaconess Mabel Otoo, and her team for the great work done in making the event a reality.

Mrs. Rita Asamoah Antwi, the wife of the District Minister, in turn, advised the youth to take an interest in preparing their own foods. She also encouraged them to endeavour to prepare their own nutritious dishes rather than relying on food vendors for “already-made” foods.

The event was climaxed with a Love Feast, where members and non-members of the church came together to enjoy some of the foods prepared by the contestants. At the end of the event, the women of the Ephrathah Assembly were adjudged winners of the competition.
