The Evangelism Ministry Director and Executive Council Member of The Church Of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin has asserted that living a life without God at the center of it is a meaningless life.
He made this declaration at the forecourt of the EK Kyei Worship Center on Friday April 12, 2024 during the climax of the ‘Tarkwa For Christ Crusade’.
Speaking on the topic, ‘Life is meaningless without God,’ Apostle Jimmy Markin said that, “life is the most important single pursuit of all men at all times”, while adding that regardless of the gender or social status of people, their greatest desire is to preserve their lives.
The Evangelism Ministry Director pointed out that, due to the great value of life, academics and philosophers put in several efforts to understand it whiles others are trying their best to live it for satisfaction but to no avail.
Using the life of King Solomon as case study, Apostle Jimmy Markin indicated that, Solomon was a great Philosopher and architect. Apart from that, he inherited great wealth and material things from his father David who was a mighty king.
He explained that Solomon as a philosopher, decided to pursue wisdom but ended up being foolish. In his pursuit for this wisdom, Solomon added 700 wives and 300 concubines. But one thing that was certain is that even with all the wealth, material things, wives and concubines Solomon had, he never got the satisfaction he desired in life.
Apostle Jimmy Markin called on people who have the urge to live life us they want to know that, King Solomon and many others before them had engage in such lifestyles many years before them but didn’t end them well and so should rather pursue a God-centered life.
“A wise man is the one who knows that someone has tried something that didn’t work and so wouldn’t do same,” he said.
Another thing the man of God emphasized on is the fact that, just like Adam and Eve had the option of choosing between the Tree of Life which gives eternal life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil but chose the latter, all humans have an option to choose between a meaningless life which is without God and a meaningful life which has God at its center.
The Crusade saw over a thousand people giving their lives to Christ, with many others rededicating their lives.
