Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, Cape Coast Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, underscored that while passion is important, it is spiritual discipline that sustains and drives true effectiveness in children’s ministry.
Speaking on the theme ‘Empowered by the Spirit: Sealed and Anointed for a Unique and Specialized Ministry,’ he anchored his message in Scriptures including Acts 10:38 and 1 Peter 2:9–10.
He declared, ‘Be filled with the Holy Spirit. He dwells in us, abides with us, places a stamp of ownership on us saying: You are His portion; you’re not for sale. That is the mark of true anointing.’
Apostle Markin outlined marks of the anointed: prayer, fasting, studying the Word, and obedience, calling these essential to Spirit-led service.
‘This is not a job—it is a calling. Not routine, but revival. Not mere teaching, but Spirit-empowered engagement that transforms lives,’ he said.
He concluded with a charge:
‘You are renewed in the Spirit, anointed, and empowered to boldly win and nurture children for the Kingdom.’
