Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians, especially leaders of the Church, to understand the structural authority to avoid comparisons and conflicts within the Church.

In a live broadcast of the Special Sunday Evening Service on Pent TV on March 30, 2025, Chairman Nyamekye spoke on “The Two Kinds of Kingdom Authority,” highlighting structural and spiritual authority as two distinct forms of authority in God’s Kingdom.

Focusing on the structural authority, he explained that it pertains to special envoys in the body of Christ sent to the local church. He referenced Ephesians 4:8, 11-12 and Acts 13:1-3, describing those in structural authority as diplomatic agents and accredited messengers who are set apart unto God for specific tasks. He emphasised that these individuals are not just ordinary people; they are carefully selected based on moral and spiritual requirements, as prescribed in 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and Acts 6. He added that, even in the Old Testament, Moses was instructed to look for certain qualities when selecting individuals to become leaders of the community of believers.

Chairman Nyamekye stressed that leadership in the Church is not self-appointed but divinely ordained, referencing Hebrews 5:1, 4-5.

“No one takes this authority upon themselves. The Bible states that Jesus selected the disciples He wanted, and He is still selecting people He wants today. It is not so much about who is good but about whom He wants—that is whom He chooses,” he explained, urging believers to find contentment in their roles within the church as determined by Christ.

Concluding, Apostle Eric Nyamekye underscored the limited scope of the structural authority, stating, “When someone has a structural authority, it is for the structure. It does not go beyond the structure.”

WE ARE THE AROMA OF CHRIST — APOSTLE NYAMEKYE web

We Are The Aroma Of Christ — Apostle Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has emphasised the identity of Christians as the aroma of Christ, tasked with spreading His knowledge everywhere.

“We are the aroma of Christ. God uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere,” he stated, referencing 2 Corinthians 2:15-16.

He explained that like an aroma, which is  sweet-smelling and pervasive (John 12:3), Christians are to make Christ known across all spheres of influence.

Apostle Nyamekye made these remarks in a sermon titled “God Amid Israel,” during a live broadcast of a Special Sunday Evening Service on Pent TV on March 23, 2025.

Referencing Isaiah 12:5-6 and Numbers 2, the GPCC President elaborated on the Israelites’ experience of God’s presence among them. He noted that God made it clear to the Israelites that He dwelled among them. However, due to a lack of revelation, they confined God’s worship to the temple.

Illustrating the arrangement of the tribes of the Israel, he highlighted God’s central presence among them. He mentioned that when they were on the march, the cloud of glory — signifying God’s presence — would go ahead of them and sometimes rest on the Tent of Meeting.

He further noted that the Ark of the Covenant, which also symbolised God’s presence, was housed in the Tent of Meeting. He then posed the question “Where is God? Is He in the Ark or ahead of them?”

In addressing this, Apostle Nyamekye referred to 2 Chronicles 6:18-21, Psalm 139:1-11, and Job 23:1-4, 8-11, emphasising God’s omnipresence. He stressed that following God’s ways closely and faithfully leads one to His presence, eliminating the need to search for Him in any specific direction.

“Don’t worry about where God is; just follow Him closely in His ways and you will always be where He is,” he assured.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that just as the Ark, which represented God’s presence was in the tabernacle and sometimes moved ahead of or behind the Israelites as a cloud during their journey, God now dwells in believers and is also present everywhere. He emphasised that the bodies of Christians are God’s temple.

“Even though God is in us, He is also at the work place, in the streets, at the office, at the mall, at the salon, on the plane,” he affirmed, stressing, “Every place is a place of His presence. So, let us maintain this consciousness.”

He expressed concern that people often regard these places as devoid of God’s presence.

“We show up in these places, without expecting God to show up. The same God we encounter in church can be encountered at workplace. All we need is to be aware of this consciousness and be sensitive to God’s leading as we interact with people. In so doing, we will become transformative agents in the hands of God,” he encouraged.

Chairman Nyamekye also urged Christians to ernestly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, emphasising that the Spirit, who gives these gifts dwells in them.

Children Have Role In Possessing The Nations Agenda – Apostle Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has indicated that children in the church have a role to play in the ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda.

He said this on Sunday, January 26, 2025, when he joined the Children’s Ministry of the Kaneshie Worship Centre for a special time of fellowship.

Apostle Nyamekye informed the children that The Church of Pentecost is not solely for adults; children are equally vital members.

He discussed the church’s Vision 2028, rooted in Ephesians 3:10-11, which calls for transformation through the gospel. He traced the church’s leadership history, highlighting that God appoints leaders who come out with visions at every juncture. He stated that the current vision, ‘Possession the Nations,’ agenda is a mandate for both children and adults to actively participate in it.

Chairman Nyamekye called on children to embody their Christian identity in their schools and communities. He encouraged them to share the teachings they receive at church and to act as agents of change by addressing wrongdoings around them.

‘When you go to school let others know you are Christians and strive to transform your environment with love and good deeds,’ he stated.

This transformation, he said, extends beyond personal conduct; it encompasses efforts to combat societal issues like corruption.

He reiterated that the ‘whole’ church includes everyone—adults and children alike. He explained that Vision 2028 seeks to redefine ministry as any action that aligns with Kingdom values.

Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that ministry is not confined to church activities but should be evident in everyday life. He outlined practical actions children can take at home and school, encouraging them to share God’s word with family members, show respect and obedience to parents, assist with household chores, express love towards classmates, invite peers to learn about Christ, and support those in need through prayer and kindness.
