The New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost has successfully concluded this year’s Easter Convention, held from Wednesday, April 1 to Sunday, April 5, 2026, under the theme “Jesus Christ: Our High Priest,” (Hebrews 3:1 and 9:11).
The convention, which was opened with the Festival of 11 Lessons and Passion Songs, took place across four zonal centres in the Area—New Tafo, Kenyasi, Mile 3, and Bonwire.
In a sermon to round off the event in the New Tafo Zone at the Buokrom Methodist School Park, the Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh, spoke on the topic, “Jesus Christ: Our High Priest Is Risen.”
Drawing from Matthew 28:1–7, he explained that while the natural decomposition of the body after death is common to all humans, Jesus Christ, though fully human, did not experience corruption when He died and was buried.
“Jesus never saw corruption,” he emphasised, indicating that Christ’s body was divinely preserved, culminating in His resurrection on the third day. He noted that unlike the priests of Israel who died and remained in the grave, Jesus rose from the dead, affirming His eternal priesthood.
Prophet Tetteh Doku further stated that, following His resurrection and ascension, Christ continually intercedes for believers and grants them access to the throne of grace. He added that believers have also been equipped with spiritual enablement for service.
According to him, believers now carry apostolic power to overcome life’s challenges and prophetic grace for multiplication and fruitfulness. He explained that the authority to forgive sins, the revelation of God as Father, and guidance in prayer are all made possible through Christ’s priestly ministry.
Though not from the tribe of Levi, the New Tafo Area Head indicated that Christ was appointed by God, rendering His priesthood superior. Quoting Hebrews 7:26–28, he described Christ as holy, blameless, and set apart from sinners, making Him uniquely qualified for the role.
Prophet Tetteh Doku mentioned that while the high priests of Israel repeatedly offered sacrifices, including for their own sins, Jesus offered Himself once and for all as a perfect sacrifice.
He concluded by affirming that the power in the name of Jesus is anchored in the reality that He is alive, giving believers confidence for victorious Christian living.
A total attendance of 6,292 was recorded at the New Tafo Zone, with 24 souls won and 61 persons receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
