The New Takoradi District in the Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost organised a mass wedding for six couples.
The historic and well-attended event was held at the Bethel Assembly auditorium on Saturday, April 27, 2024.
Speaking at the occasion, the Kansaworado District Minister, Pastor Samuel Asare-Asamoah, admonished married couples to bear the fruit of the Spirit in order to transform their spheres of influence.
He spoke on the topic, “The Transformed Couple,” with the main scripture references from 2 Kings 4:25-26 and 1 Peter 3:1-7.
Pastor Asare-Asamoah explained that transformed couples are those who believe in Jesus Christ, are baptised into Him through the power of the Holy Spirit, and bear the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
He further stated that such couples live their lives according to biblical standards, thereby making their marriages special and demonstrating the beauty of Christianity to the outside world.
“Transformed couples do not conform to the standards of the world but strive to be examples of believers in everything they do, ensuring that their conduct glorifies God and transforms their spheres of influence,” he affirmed.
Pastor Asare-Asamoah stressed that marriage was instituted by God and not man, hence the need to marry according to God’s principles, thereby transforming every sphere with kingdom values.
He added that spouses must make a conscious effort to transform their home, family, and workplace as part of championing the transformative agenda of the church.
“Wives must organise their homes very well, maintaining clean surroundings, bathrooms, kitchens, and utensils, while husbands must work hard to secure the financial position of the family,” he indicated.
The New Takoradi District Minister, Pastor Solomon Nii A. Djani, explained that the district decided to organise the mass wedding to regularise the marriages of the members in the district.
The programme was attended by Nana Kwabena Amponsah II (Chief of Subri in the Wassa Fiasi Traditional Area), Mrs. Lydia Maamiley Djani (New Takoradi District Minister’s Wife), District Executive Members, as well as officers and members of the district.
