Agyemang Family Donates Church Building To Asofan English Assembly

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 web

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

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 web

The Basis For Our Rewards Is Faithfulness – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

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.
