Apostle Obuobi Urges Ministers’ Wives to Lead Godly Lives

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on the wives of church ministers to pursue godly living as part of their calling as believers and co-labourers in ministry.

Speaking at the 2025 Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa on Wednesday morning, Apostle Obuobi stated that the mission to ‘possess the nations’ can only be fulfilled by men and women who embody godliness.

‘The pastor’s wife has a responsibility to live a godly life. You are accountable for your own training in righteousness,” he stated, adding, ‘Train yourself in godliness, for godliness is devotion to God; it leads to a life that pleases Him.”

Addressing the theme, ‘The Godly Woman,’ Apostle Obuobi quoted Christian author Jerry Bridges, saying, ‘No higher compliment can be paid to a Christian than to call them godly.’ He stressed that godliness must be the foundation of every aspect of the Christian life, leaving no room for alternatives.

He expressed concern over the tendency of some believers to appear religious while denying the power that leads to true godliness. To reinforce his message, he referenced several scriptures, including 1 Timothy 6:11, 2 Timothy 3:5, and 2 Peter 1:5.

Drawing lessons from the lives and ministries of Apostles Paul and Peter, Apostle Obuobi encouraged the participants to be effective and fruitful by embracing perseverance and discipline, which are hallmarks of the early church leaders.

‘Discipline your eyes, ears, attitude, and appetite in your walk with God,’ he urged. ‘Be intentional in every area of your life and ministry. Know the Scriptures by reading, studying, meditating on them, and applying them. Set boundaries and operate within them, remembering that no discipline is pleasant at the time, but it yields lasting fruit.’

Death Is A Home Call For The Christian – Apostle Samuel Obuobi web

Death Is A Home Call For The Christian – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has emphasised that for believers, death is not the end of life, but rather a home call to reunite with the Father.

“When you die in Christ, it is a comma, not a full stop to life, because you will continue in the next life,” he stated.

Apostle Obuobi made these remarks during the Gospel Sunday service at the Bethel Assembly auditorium in New Juaben. The service also served as a thanksgiving event for the late Elder Emmanuel Kofi Mireku (rtd.).

In his sermon titled “When a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?” and referencing Job 14:4 and John 11:25-26, the General Secretary described death as a mystery as many are unaware of the time of their passing. “The rich die, the poor die, the prominent die, and the humble die. But the essential question remains: When a person dies, will they live again?” he said.

Apostle Obuobi addressed common questions people have about death, including: What happens after death? Where will a person go when they die? Does death signify the end of life? Unfortunately, no one returns from death to provide answers. However, one truth is certain: death is inevitable.

Referencing Job 14:1-2, he highlighted that the days of man are few and full of trouble, fleeting like a shadow. Yet, he added that these days are ordained by God.

While the specifics of what happens after death remain uncertain, Jesus provided a clear answer in John 11:25-26 when he visited Mary and Martha after the death of Lazarus: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, though they die, shall live.”

Apostle Obuobi further explained that the nature of one’s death—whether by accident, drowning, illness, or other means—does not matter. What is vital is that those who believe in Jesus will live again.

Referring to 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, he emphasized that Jesus is the antidote to death. When the trumpet sounds, “we who are sown perishable will rise imperishable, and we will receive glorified bodies at the resurrection.”

He pointed out that the death and resurrection of Jesus offer undeniable proof that the righteous will live again. Jesus’ victory over death is further affirmed in 2 Corinthians 4:14, where it is written, “We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus.”

Additionally, the fact that Jesus holds power over death, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:10, serves as further evidence of the righteous’ resurrection.

Apostle Obuobi also noted that Jesus destroyed the one who has the power of death, affirming the promise of eternal life for believers.

However, he stressed that the key condition for living again is faith in Jesus Christ. Only those who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour will rise in glory.

He, therefore, urged all attendees who have not yet accepted Christ to do so, so that they may triumph over death and experience the promise of eternal life.

Apostle Obuobi Urges Christians To Seek Eternal Rewards

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has urged Christians to seek eternal rewards for their service in Christ.

He made the call on Sunday, February 9, 2025, when he fellowshipped at the Mamprobi Central and English assemblies.

Speaking on the theme, ‘Eternal or Earthly Rewards,’ he urged Christians to prioritise holiness and service to God in order to attain lasting, heavenly rewards.

Drawing from Ephesians 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 4:7, Apostle Obuobi explained that believers are called to a life of holiness, which should be evident in their actions, speech, and thoughts.

He highlighted the significance of good character, sound decisions, generosity, and sacrifice, noting that God rewards every action, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

‘God is watching everything in your life. You will be rewarded for all you have done and will do in obedience to Jesus while on this earth,’ he said.

The chief scribe further explored the distinction between earthly and eternal rewards. According to him, earthly rewards, which can be described as temporal, transient, material, and subject to decay, were contrasted with eternal rewards, which extend beyond this life into eternity and are lasting and enduring.

He stressed that while earthly blessings are appreciated, believers should focus on accumulating eternal rewards through faithfulness, obedience, and service to God.

Referencing Revelations 22:12, Apostle Obuobi reminded the congregation that Jesus is coming soon, bringing rewards with Him to repay each person according to their deeds. He encouraged the church to work heartily for the Lord, knowing that they will receive an inheritance as their reward.

The General Secretary also touched on the sacrifices made for the gospel, assuring the church that those who sacrifice for the gospel will receive rewards, both in the present age and in the age to come.

Agyemang Family Donates Church Building To Asofan English Assembly web

Agyemang Family Donates Church Building To Asofan English Assembly

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Mr William Agyemang and his wife, Deaconess Mrs Mary Agyemang, have singlehandedly constructed and donated a fully-furnished church building to the Asofan English Assembly in the Achimota Area of The Church of Pentecost.

The new church building was dedicated on Friday,  January 31, 2025, by the General Secretary of the Church, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, with support from the Achimota Area Head, Apostle Joseph Danzerl.

The Agyemang family went beyond the construction of the church building by furnishing it with 200 customised chairs, a lectern, and musical instruments, ensuring the assembly is well-prepared for worship services.

During the dedication service, Apostle Obuobi delivered a sermon on the theme, ‘House of Prayer,’ highlighting the importance of maintaining prayer as the foundation of the church.

He referenced Matthew 21:12-13 to highlight Jesus’ intent for the temple to be a place of prayer for all nations, not a commercial centre.

‘The house of God is not a place for entertainment or business; it is supposed to be a house of prayer,’ Apostle Obuobi stated.

He added: ‘The very nature and character of the church should reflect prayer. At all times, the house of God should be prayerful.’

Apostle Obuobi also spoke on the transformative power of prayer, citing Acts 4:33: ‘In prayer, we receive great grace and great power. Grace, in this context, is the enabling power of God that comes upon the believer, enabling them to do what they ordinarily cannot do.’

He urged Christians to incorporate prayer into all aspects of their lives, including marriage, studies, health, and ministry.

‘If we want to see great grace and power at work, we must remain prayerful,’ he concluded.

The Asofan English Assembly is one of six local assemblies within the Asofan District of The Church of Pentecost. The district was established in 2019 after being carved out of the Ofankor District.

The dedication service was graced by several dignitaries, including Apostle Bright Nyamedor (Director, Ghana Evangelism Committee/Resident Minister, Petroleum Worship Centre), ministers from the area, and traditional rulers.

Don’t Honour Satan By Disobeying God – Apostle Samuel Obuobi Tells Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has emphasized that disobedience to God inadvertently honours the devil.

“Whenever you believe in anything over God’s word, you invite trouble,” Apostle Obuobi said. “By obeying the devil, Adam and Eve honoured him, and their disobedience to God resulted in separation from God, bringing death and loss of glory.”

He made this remark during a fellowship with members of the Bethel Assembly in the New Juaben District of The Church of Pentecost on Gospel Sunday.

Speaking on the topic “The Door of Salvation,” Apostle Obuobi used John 10:9 as a key scripture reference, explaining that the need for salvation began in the Garden of Eden, when man first disobeyed God’s command.

He highlighted that God’s creation was perfect until Adam and Eve chose to believe the devil over God’s word.

He emphasized that Jesus Christ is the only door to salvation, citing John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Apostle Obuobi reminded the congregation that there is no other way to be saved—Jesus alone is the mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5-6).

“The testimony of God is that eternal life is found in His Son alone,” he stated. “Jesus is the exclusive way to salvation, but He is open to all who call on His name in faith (Romans 10:13).”

The General Secretary pointed out that the door of salvation is open to everyone who seeks Jesus, as He is the only access point for salvation (John 10:9). However, he also cautioned that the door will one day be closed, referencing Luke 13:25-27: “When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ But He will answer, ‘I do not know you.’”

Apostle Obuobi warned that the opportunity for salvation will not last forever. “The door to salvation is open now, but when the rapture comes or when death calls, that door will be closed,” he said.

The Basis For Our Rewards Is Faithfulness – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has asserted that for a Christian to qualify for eternal rewards, they must exhibit faithfulness.

According to him, God has called each one to a specific task or assignment and he expects everyone to be faithful to Gd and the calling they have received.

Speaking on the topic, “Living for Eternal Rewards” at the Volta & Oti Centre of the 2025 Ministers and Wives Conference (MWC), Apostle Obuobi stated that it does not matter whether what we have given is small or big, what matters is how faithful one is with what they have been given by the Lord.

Drawing from the account of the parable of the talents, Apostle Obuobi noted that those who had rewards received them because they were faithful to what was entrusted to them.

Comparing that to ministry in the church, he noted that some ministers will be posted to the so-called big districts whiles others will be sent to places people might not consider “big”, but no one should be discouraged because of the perception that their districts are not so good, for it is God who posts according to his divine purpose, declaring that “all that you need is to serve faithfully wherever you have been posted and God will reward you.”

In his closing remarks, the General Secretary encouraged ministers to be faithful to the church as well for if they are waiting for eternal rewards, they must be willing to serve God and the church in all faithfulness.PENT NEWS.
