The Church Must Rise as a Force for Moral Renewal – Apostle Obuobi

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has issued a bold charge to believers across the nation, declaring that the Church must awake as a transformative force to confront the deepening moral decay and societal darkness engulfing the world. He made the call when he worshipped with the Mampong Tunsuom Central Assembly during their Sunday Communion Service on Sunday, December 7, 2025.
Preaching on the theme “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit,” Apostle Obuobi warned that the world is increasingly being shaped by secular humanism, corruption, sexual perversion, drug abuse, and rising anti-Christian sentiments, stressing that the Church cannot remain passive while society deteriorates.
He explained that although the challenges confronting today’s world appear overwhelming, God is raising a new breed of Christians who will hold firmly to His Word, walk in spiritual power, and carry Kingdom values into every sphere of society. He noted with concern that the sense of responsibility among many believers to influence their communities appears to be waning, even though God still seeks men and women who will help transform the kingdoms of this world into the Kingdom of Christ.
Drawing lessons from Jonah’s mission to Nineveh, Daniel’s intercession for Israel, and Philip’s impact in Samaria, Apostle Obuobi reminded the congregation that cities and nations can experience renewal when God’s people proclaim the true gospel with authority. He said transformation begins when believers understand and practise both the Gospel of Salvation—which brings people into God’s family—and the Gospel of the Kingdom, which equips them to shape society with values such as justice, integrity, diligence, and moral uprightness.
Apostle Obuobi stressed that ordinariness cannot change a sin-sick world, emphasising the need for the Church to return to the power of the Holy Spirit. Without supernatural backing, he said, the Church’s influence will remain limited.
He added that early Protestant values such as equality before God, honesty, hard work, patriotism, and the belief that every profession is a divine calling once reshaped societies—and can do so again when embraced by believers today.
He also noted that the Church’s 2026 theme reinforces this mandate and urged Christians to rise as a force for moral renewal and national transformation, just as the early church did.
