A remarkable wave of revival swept through Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) Graceland when the Missions Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, paid an apostolic visit intended to reignite zeal, unity of purpose, and spiritual readiness toward the Church’s 2026 theme and its corresponding thematic areas as previously outlined by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye.
Addressing the congregation on Sunday, November 16, 2025, Apostle Bekoe emphasised that the Church remains God’s chosen agency to project His glory and Lordship across the earth. However, he noted that increasing secular influences and distorted human behaviours often mask this divine mandate, causing many believers to lose heart. In such a season, he said, God is actively searching for dedicated men and women who will courageously advance His kingdom agenda. “One man, one woman can change the narrative,” he stressed, urging Christians not merely to work for a living but to live for the work of God.
Drawing lessons from Jonah’s initial reluctance, the Missions Director reminded the Church that despite human hesitation, God still uses His vessels to accomplish His purpose. He highlighted the 2026 theme – “The Church Established to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit” – as a strategic step toward fulfilling Vision 2028. According to him, achieving this requires two essential tools: committed people who understand their divine assignment, and the uncompromised proclamation of the Gospel under the power of the Holy Spirit. “The day the Holy Spirit leaves the church, our gatherings become nothing more than social events,” he cautioned, reaffirming the Spirit’s centrality to ministry.
Apostle Bekoe further outlined the key thematic topics for 2026, including Spiritual Living in a Secular World; My Job, My Kingdom Assignment; Authenticating Conversion into Credible Testimony; Raising Spirit-Filled Disciples; Baptism and the Infilling of the Holy Spirit; The Power of Fasting and Prayer; Living in Anticipation of Christ’s Return; Sharing the Love of Christ;and The Godly Home. Though familiar, he said, these topics must be repeatedly echoed until the Church fully embodies them.
Referencing Acts 8:4–8 and Acts 13:1–13, he affirmed that transformation requires not only proclamation but demonstration. Signs, wonders, and tokens of divine power, he noted, authenticate the Gospel and inspire faith in unbelievers. He challenged the Church to abandon fear, exercise bold faith, and allow God’s power to flow through them.
Apostle Bekoe concluded with a passionate charge: “As the proconsul saw something in Paul’s day, may people see something through us as we say something.” He then led the congregation in an intense prayer session, igniting renewed passion for the task ahead.
