The Kaneshie Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, organised its Quarterly Fasting and Prayer Chain at the Kaneshie Central auditorium in Accra.
The event which was on the theme, “Repositioning Women Through Prayers for Maximum Impact,” had the Kaneshie Area Head, Apostle Samuel Osei Asante, who doubles as an Executive Council Member of the Church, as the guest speaker.
Highlighting the theme for the year, “Repositioning the Local Church for Maximum Impact In The Nations,” (Colossians 2:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20), Apostle Asante explained that much attention has been given to the local church because activities in the church are mainly executed at the local level.
He explained that repositioning is the act of placing someone in a new position or changing the direction of an objective for effective use.
He added: “Nothing new has been introduced by the church, rather it is strengthening the already existing values for effective impact. Whatever relevant goal that was abandoned has been revisited for the benefit of the church and the nation.”
Referencing from Esther 4:7-16, the Kaneshie Area Head said that Esther fasted and prayed together with the Jews in Susa when she heard about the intention of Haman to annihilate the Jews.
He noted that the prayer of Esther and her people created a miracle where she found favour in the sight of the king by defying all odds, saying, “The king granted all her request including sparing the life of Mordecai and in replacement of Haman’s evil plot. Esther saved the entire generation from extinction and brought joy, peace and comfort to the Jewish in a foreign land.”
Apostle Samuel Osei Asante charged the women to be lovers of prayer by interceding for the Church, the nation, and their families to cause a tremendous change in society.
In attendance was the wife of the Area Head, Mrs Elizabeth Osei Asante, the Area Pastorate, current and past leadership of the Women’s Ministry, and members of the ministry.
