Apostle Nyamekye Challenges Believers to Seek Eternal Purpose

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has underscored the need for spiritual transformation in today’s world, urging believers to embrace a life centred on Christ by moving beyond material pursuits to attain eternal significance.

‘A new life is not about money, jobs, houses, or cars,’ Apostle Nyamekye stated. ‘It is the life of God in man—eternal life that begins when we believe in Jesus Christ.’

He said this on Sunday, May 25, 2025, during a sermon he presented titled: ‘The World Needs a New Life,’ at the Merry Villas District in the La Area of the church.

Referencing John 14:6, he highlighted that true life is found in Christ alone. He further explained that without Christ, individuals are prone to immoral behaviours, as outlined in Galatians 5:19.

He stated: ‘Without Christ, you cannot bear good fruits; the fruits of the Spirit.’

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:10-11, Apostle Nyamekye indicated that the life of Christ should be evident in every aspect of a believer’s life, saying, ‘Our worldly body will perish, but the life of Christ in us should be revealed in our speech and conduct so that others may come to know Him.’

He stressed the importance of preaching the message of new life systematically, citing 1 John 5:12 and John 20:31. According to him, there are two kinds of people in this world: children of God and the others, revealing that if a person dies in their sin, there is no repentance for them.

Apostle Nyamekye also highlighted the significance of Gospel Sundays, encouraging believers to share their testimonies and preach the gospel as if addressing those outside the church.

‘We are reminded to preach the gospel and tell of the salvation message of Christ; how you have been saved from your old life into a new one,’ he noted.

He called on church leaders to equip members with the necessary tools to evangelise effectively. He bemoaned that most Christians do not know how to bring people to Christ. ‘As leaders, we should make intentional efforts to teach our members how to win souls,’ he advised.

Concluding his message, Apostle Nyamekye challenged believers to make soul-winning a personal mission, saying, ‘We must make it a habit to bring at least one soul to Christ.’

“MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” — CHAIRMAN DEFENDS CHURCH’S SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS web

“More Blessed To Give Than To Receive” — Chairman Defends Church’s Social Interventions

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has reiterated that the Church’s growing investment in national infrastructure and community development is not a show of affluence, but a faithful expression of biblical values.

Speaking at the commissioning of the Pentecost Fire Station on May 14, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye quoted Acts 20:35: “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” emphasising that the Church’s developmental projects stem from a Christ-centred mission, not from financial surplus.

“We are doing all these not because we have in abundance,” he explained, “but to demonstrate the love of Christ and contribute meaningfully to national growth.”

He further quoted former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, saying, “What is done for the community lives beyond the individual,” to underscore the Church’s vision of creating lasting impact through legacy-driven development.

The Chairman noted that the newly commissioned fire station is part of broader church-led interventions that strengthen Ghana’s national security and emergency response systems. He reaffirmed the Church’s commitment to strategic partnerships with government institutions to advance national development.

Apostle Nyamekye listed some of the Church’s key infrastructure projects, including two police stations, two prison reformation centres (Ejura and Nsawam), with additional centres under construction at Obuasi and Damongo. The Damongo facility is expected to be commissioned in June 2025.

In the social sector, the Church has also made significant strides. Between 2019 and 2024, it installed 239 mechanised boreholes across underserved communities, benefitting more than 110,000 people. The Church is currently constructing five new health facilities—including a specialist hospital—to add to its 12 existing medical centres.

Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that these efforts are not merely acts of charity, but a practical demonstration of the Church’s mission to transform society with Kingdom values.

“As a church, we believe that we have been called not only to worship God but also to serve His purpose within society,” he said.

Jesus Is God’s Seed – Apostle Nyamekye Reveals

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has revealed that Jesus is the Seed of God who was buried, sprouted, and grown to enable believers to bear fruit.

According to Apostle Nyamekye, the death of Jesus marks the second time that God reached out to reclaim the surviving remnant of His people, following the gathering of Israel.

‘Jesus is God’s seed,’ he reiterated. ‘Jesus lives in us; He is the seed of God, and the most important part of the story was to bury Him. Through His death, He lives in us; that is Christ in you and me,’ he said.

Apostle Nyamekye was speaking on the topic, ‘We Would Like to See Jesus,’ referencing John 12:20-21, during the Easter Convention in the Suame Area on Thursday evening, April 17, 2025.

Expounding on Isaiah 11:10-12, which speaks of God’s promise to gather a remnant of His people a second time, Apostle Nyamekye explained the events that led to the fulfillment of this prophecy from the Old to the New Testaments.

Quoting John 11:49, he indicated how the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus sparked anger and concern among the Jewish religious leaders. He asserted that the miracle caused many people to start believing in Jesus, which put pressure on the religious leaders as many were deserting them.

‘What Caiaphas instilled in the minds of the people was to kill Jesus to save their city from destruction. This was a prophecy made by the high priest, not just for the city but to gather all the children of God together. From there, they devised a plan to kill Jesus,’ he added.

Apostle Nyamekye outlined how these occurrences fitted perfectly into God’s timeline, leading to Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. He noted that Jesus could be accessed by the rest of the world, disclosing that some Greeks had appealed to Philip, expressing their desire to see Jesus as an approach to gathering other nations.

‘They made the request because they could not see Jesus, as they were not set apart,’ he explained. ‘Jesus, upon hearing their request, revealed that unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.’

‘Jesus needed to be buried as a seed to be accessed by all. This act is the second time God gathered the rest of the remnant,’ he continued.

Apostle Nyamekye stressed that no one born of God will continue in sin because the seed of God remains in them.

He further urged believers to recognise that the death of Jesus has brought newness and transformation into their lives, hence the need to live for Him and forsake their former ways.

‘What is our response to God who gave us His only begotten Son? What shall we render unto God for what He has done for us?’ he asked. ‘We must proclaim His death by lifting the cup of salvation.’

Our Private Lives Determine Our Public Value Before God — Apostle Eric Nyamekye web

Our Private Lives Determine Our Public Value Before God — Apostle Eric Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged Christians to prioritise spending quality time with God and cultivating a close relationship with Him, emphasising it as the key to living a spiritually impactful life and demonstrating God’s power in the public sphere.

“Our worth to God in public is directly linked to the value we place on our walk with Him in the closet. If a Christian’s daily routine lacks dedicated quality time to know the ways of the Lord, they will not experience much of God’s power and may, in turn, deny God vessels He can use in the public sphere,” he stated.

Apostle Nyamekye made this assertion during a live telecast service dubbed ‘Special Evening Service’ aired on Pent TV on Sunday, April 13, 2025.

Continuing his serialised sermon on “The Two Kinds of Kingdom Authority,” he highlighted prayer, fasting, meditation, studying, and obeying God’s word as key practices for aligning oneself with the ways of God, citing Simeon and Anna as examples of individuals devoted to God’s presence, as detailed in Luke 2:25-32, 37.

“The primary purpose of communication is to build relationships. Prayer is not just for asking and receiving; otherwise, ‘pray without ceasing’ would not be necessary. But as long as we practice the presence of God in communication, we build a relationship with Him. Those who dedicate consistent time to God develop strong relationships with Him.”

Chairman Nyamekye pointed out that God can use anyone at any time, provided they are open to the Spirit.

“We must not limit God. He can use anyone at any time and anywhere. We must allow ourselves to be moved by the Spirit, for this is what makes us children of God,” he said.

He stressed the importance of believers aligning themselves with the truth to remain relevant to the church’s mission.

“What the Church really needs today are people whom the Holy Spirit can use — children of God who have become His friends and are, therefore, acquainted with His ways. It is not enough to be a child of God; you must also be His friend,” he explained.

Referencing Exodus 40:33-34, 38, Apostle Nyamekye, who also serves as the President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), explained the symbolic significance of the Tent of Meeting and God’s presence among the Israelites. He noted that God wanted the Israelites to focus on His presence in their midst, rather than merely recognising His universal presence. He urged believers to be mindful of God’s indwelling presence in their lives as a means to grow spiritually and effectively partner with Him in transforming the world.

“Our body is a type of tent, and our inner man is where God resides. The tent represents the human body, and the ark in the inner chamber represents the presence of God in the believer’s heart,” he stated.

He added, “As we walk with God, we are expected to grow. To join Jesus in the workplace, on the streets, and wherever we are, we must first be spiritually aware of His presence in us and intentionally cultivate it. Only then can we become transformative agents in God’s hands.”

Apostle Eric Nyamekye encouraged believers to earnestly seek the Spirit of God to become a blessing to humanity, citing John 7:37.

“When we thirst and hunger for the Spirit of God, as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within us. Let us pay attention to the Spirit of God within us,” he advised.

He concluded by highlighting the crucial role of believers’ spiritual maturity and commitment to their values in bringing meaningful transformation to their lives and the broader community.

“All Christians carry the same gospel and life, but the difference lies in the spiritual character of the believer. We must work on the tent within us. When we do this, our spirituality will impact the people around us,” he affirmed.
