The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has charged Christian youth to make every effort to spread the gospel to everyone in order to help depopulate hell.
He warned, “If we do not preach the gospel of the Kingdom, people will go to hell. If we do preach it, we will depopulate hell.”
He made this statement on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, during the third day of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST) Students’ Chaplaincy Council (SCC) Mission 2024 crusade happening at the Parade Grounds of the campus.
Speaking on the topic, “Formed, Deformed, Transformed,” he stressed the importance of the gospel and its role in the world.
“The gospel is an exclusive one,” he said, while referencing Matthew 24:14.
He noted that in the midst of all trials, the gospel must still be preached to the whole world.
The GPCC President stressed the significance of God’s love, stating, “When we say ‘God so loved the world,’ it is not so cheap. The love of God is not cheap. The fact that God is love, does not mean he tolerates everything and anything. The forgiveness of our sins cost God his only begotten son.”
He further explained the complexity of God’s nature, saying, “God has many attributes; He is not only love, He is a holy God. While the love of God is trying to ask mankind to come to Him, the Holiness of God rejects that idea.”
The Chairman also highlighted the importance of faith in receiving Christ.
“He presented Christ to be received by faith. So, if the sinner does not receive Christ by faith, he has himself to be blamed,” he said.
Apostle Nyamekye went on to discuss the concept of forbearance, which he defined as “abstaining from the enforcement of right of punishing the sinner to eternal condemnation.”
He also touched on the significance of God’s oath, saying, “God packaged salvation and bagged it with an oath. There is nobody greater for God to swear by, so he swore by Himself” – Hebrews 6:16.
Towards the end of his sermon, Apostle Nyamekye spoke on the importance of preserving, preaching, teaching, and demonstrating the gospel with signs and wonders.
“We should go about telling the good news that God has made an arrangement for unbelievers; that if you believe in the son of God you will be saved and if you do not believe in the son of God, you will not be saved,” he concluded.
