The wife of the Dansoman Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Mrs. Rebecca Sey, has declared that the purpose of the coming of Jesus into human history is to bring restoration to the sinner.
She made this assertion on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, during the “Aflao for Christ” Crusade held at CEPS Park, near the border between Togo and Ghana.
Speaking on the message titled: “Jesus, The Embodiment of Eternal Life (Colossians 1:15-16)”, Mrs Sey stressed that Jesus’ purpose in coming into human history was to restore what man lost at the beginning.
Referencing Genesis Chapter One, she explained that, in the beginning, God created man in his own image with veins, capillaries, tendons, and flesh.
The flesh, which was formed, was motionless until God breathed into the man formed from the dust of the ground. “This action by God made man a living being,” she added.
She furthermore noted that the life one has is as a result of the breath of God, adding, “Without the breath of God into man, he remains lifeless.”
Expounding her message, she emphasized that, just as God, Jesus Christ is the source of life.
“He is not only a creator of life but also the author of life. For by him, all things were created in heaven, on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, dominions, and authorities, including everything that has breath on this earth. Since Jesus is not only a custodian of life but the restorer of life, He is able to give life to any person who finds himself in a hopeless condition,” she stressed.
Mrs. Rebecca Sey stated that in the beginning, God created man and gave him all the blessings he needed for life.
According to her, as a loving Father, God declared unto man to ‘be fruitful and multiply’ and to have and take dominion. That is how humanity was supposed to be. However, she revealed that that is not as it is in our present reality, this is because of sin.
“Human beings lost all the blessings of fruitfulness, dominion, and taking over because man’s greatest enemy, who is the devil, has his manifesto. His manifesto was to steal, kill, and destroy. Because of the fall of man, our desperation caused us to entangle ourselves with demonic powers. This has, unfortunately, made man a slave to the devil and death. Sin brought God’s judgment on humanity in the Garden of Eden. The judgment was that man shall toil and suffer to live on the earth, including pains and suffering that leads to death,” she bemoaned.
“But Jesus came to restore and give abundant life to mankind. The Bible says that when the Son of man sets you free, you are free indeed. When you give your life to Jesus, the enemy will not have authority over you again. This is because Jesus gives the gift of life to those who believe in his name,” she stressed.
The wife of the Dansoman Area Head further revealed that, for the purpose of restoring mankind to God’s original plan, “Jesus came to pay the price for man’s emancipation from sin. The way that was bent and crooked because of sin, Jesus came with the good news that He is the way, the truth, and the life.”
She emphasised that Christ Jesus can change the story of the destitute and oppressed. All that the afflicted could do is to run and receive this gift of Christ which Jesus is ready to give to those who call upon him.
“Are you weary, broken-hearted, and rejected? Turn to Christ Jesus and he will save you,” she stated.
She concluded her gospel message by admonishing all manner of persons to turn to Christ for the gift of life that He freely gives.
