Waiting Upon God Key To Unlocking Spiritual Strength – Apostle David Amankwaa

The Bolgatanga Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle David Amankwaa, Bolgatanga Area Head, has advised Christians, particularly Church leaders to inculcate the habit of waiting on God as it would grant them the needed strength to excel in their calling.

He said this during his compelling address at the 2025 Area Officers’ Retreat. The retreat, held under the theme “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,” served as a transformative experience for church leaders, emphasizing the critical practice of prayer and fasting for spiritual empowerment and effective ministry.

In his message, Apostle Amankwaa drew from scriptures such as Isaiah 40:30-31, Mark 1:35-37, and Luke 6:12, stressing that waiting upon God is essential for drawing closer to Him. “In the Christian journey, there are three levels of speed: walking, running, and flying,” he explained, referencing the prophet Isaiah. “However, regardless of your spiritual maturity or current pace, failure is inevitable if you don’t draw strength from God during times of adversity.”

The Bolgatanga Area Head highlighted the importance of adopting Jesus’ example, who spent significant time in prayer, even praying through the night (Mark 1:35-37, Luke 6:12). “As officers of the church, you must be prayer engines, driving the move of God and fueling the fire of revival,” he emphasized.

He elaborated on the profound benefits of waiting upon God through fasting and prayer. First, it helps believers draw closer to God, deepening their personal relationship with Him. Second, it humbles them before the Lord, allowing them to surrender their will and desires. Third, it equips them to overcome temptation and the lust of the flesh, empowering them to live holy lives. Lastly, it strengthens them for effective ministry, equipping them to fulfill their calling.

“Reviving the local church starts with officers being revived spiritually,” he stated.

The retreat ended with a clarion call for all officers to commit to a lifestyle of prayer and fasting, recognizing that through these practices, they would be empowered to lead their congregations.

“Hide yourself and show yourself,” Apostle Amankwaa concluded, reminding them that through dedicated prayer, they would emerge with the strength to lead the charge for spiritual revival.
