Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has emphasised that great investment is essential for building strong institutions, urging Christians to commit their time, resources, prayers, and the diligent study of God’s word to every aspect of their lives.

Speaking on the topic “Great Investment Is Required To Build A Great Church” during a live broadcast of the ‘Special Evening Service’ on PENT TV on Sunday, July 6, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye stressed that excellence in any organisation does not happen by chance but is the product of intentional commitment and sacrifice.

To illustrate his point, he referenced 1 Chronicles 22:5, which describes the extensive preparations King David made before his death for the magnificent temple his son Solomon would later build for the Lord.

“Great investment is required to build any great institution, any thriving vocation, or any lasting and fruitful relationship,” he stated. “When you are careless about your marriage, you cannot expect it to be meaningful. Likewise, if you neglect your business and fail to pay attention, it will not flourish.”

He continued: “In the same way, without great investment in building the church, we will not have it as powerful as Jesus intended.”

Drawing insights from Nehemiah 4:3, the GPCC President encouraged Christians to pay attention to the structural integrity of whatever they are building. He underscored the strong and solid foundation of the Church, affirming that Jesus Christ, the Rock, has been its foundation from time immemorial (1 Corinthians 3:11; 10:1-4), and refuted the belief that Peter is the foundation upon which the Church is built.

“Be confident that the Church of God will stand the test of time as long as Jesus remains her Rock and foundation,” he assured.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that Jesus Christ, as the Rock, is dependable (Hebrews 13:5-6; 2 Corinthians 1:19-20; 2 Timothy 4:16-18). He likened Christ to a concrete foundation that supports and strengthens the entire structure.

“All of us, as living stones, come to Him—the Living Stone, the Rock of Ages—to draw strength from Him, yet His strength never diminishes,” he said, referencing John 1:14-16. He encouraged Christians to remain continually connected to Jesus to draw from His strength, using the life of Samson as a cautionary tale.

“It is dangerous to go days and weeks without connecting to the Source, studying the Bible, and praying, because out of His fullness we have all received grace,” he warned.

“I want you to draw your strength from the foundation and drink deeply from Jesus Christ, the Rock. Without this investment, you cannot build your own spiritual house,” he concluded.
