Apostle Obuobi Urges Ministers’ Wives to Lead Godly Lives

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on the wives of church ministers to pursue godly living as part of their calling as believers and co-labourers in ministry.

Speaking at the 2025 Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa on Wednesday morning, Apostle Obuobi stated that the mission to ‘possess the nations’ can only be fulfilled by men and women who embody godliness.

‘The pastor’s wife has a responsibility to live a godly life. You are accountable for your own training in righteousness,” he stated, adding, ‘Train yourself in godliness, for godliness is devotion to God; it leads to a life that pleases Him.”

Addressing the theme, ‘The Godly Woman,’ Apostle Obuobi quoted Christian author Jerry Bridges, saying, ‘No higher compliment can be paid to a Christian than to call them godly.’ He stressed that godliness must be the foundation of every aspect of the Christian life, leaving no room for alternatives.

He expressed concern over the tendency of some believers to appear religious while denying the power that leads to true godliness. To reinforce his message, he referenced several scriptures, including 1 Timothy 6:11, 2 Timothy 3:5, and 2 Peter 1:5.

Drawing lessons from the lives and ministries of Apostles Paul and Peter, Apostle Obuobi encouraged the participants to be effective and fruitful by embracing perseverance and discipline, which are hallmarks of the early church leaders.

‘Discipline your eyes, ears, attitude, and appetite in your walk with God,’ he urged. ‘Be intentional in every area of your life and ministry. Know the Scriptures by reading, studying, meditating on them, and applying them. Set boundaries and operate within them, remembering that no discipline is pleasant at the time, but it yields lasting fruit.’

FORMER GENERAL SECRETARY AND WIFE DONATE VEHICLE TO ABURA GYABANKROM DISTRICT web

Former General Secretary And Wife Donate Vehicle To Abura Gyabankrom District

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired), a former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, together with his wife, Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired High Court Judge and currently the Chief of Staff at the Ga Mantse’s Palace in Accra), has donated a KIA Sportage vehicle valued at GH₵150,000.00 to the Abura Gyabankrom District of the Church.

The donation was made on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, during a brief but significant presentation ceremony held at the couple’s residence in Abura Egotsia Kokodo, Apostle Amoah’s hometown in the Central Region.

Presenting the keys, Apostle Amoah expressed profound gratitude to God for His grace and provision, even in retirement. He emphasised that the gesture was a way of supporting the work of God in the District. He also encouraged the users of the vehicle to take good care of it and prayed that the purpose of the donation would be fully realised to the glory of God.

Receiving the keys on behalf of the Church, the Mankessim Area Head, Apostle Isaac Kofi Annan, thanked God and the donors for the timely and generous gesture. After inspecting the vehicle and praying over it, he handed it over to the District Minister, Overseer Bismark Bekoe, who also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the couple.

This donation comes as a major boost to the Abura Gyabankrom District, which has existed since 2001 without a dedicated vehicle. Earlier this year, in February 2025, the District had attempted to raise funds for the purchase of a vehicle through offerings, but the amount raised fell far short.

The unexpected gift from Apostle Albert and Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired) has therefore brought great joy and relief to the leadership and members of the District.

Death Is A Home Call For The Christian – Apostle Samuel Obuobi web

Death Is A Home Call For The Christian – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has emphasised that for believers, death is not the end of life, but rather a home call to reunite with the Father.

“When you die in Christ, it is a comma, not a full stop to life, because you will continue in the next life,” he stated.

Apostle Obuobi made these remarks during the Gospel Sunday service at the Bethel Assembly auditorium in New Juaben. The service also served as a thanksgiving event for the late Elder Emmanuel Kofi Mireku (rtd.).

In his sermon titled “When a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?” and referencing Job 14:4 and John 11:25-26, the General Secretary described death as a mystery as many are unaware of the time of their passing. “The rich die, the poor die, the prominent die, and the humble die. But the essential question remains: When a person dies, will they live again?” he said.

Apostle Obuobi addressed common questions people have about death, including: What happens after death? Where will a person go when they die? Does death signify the end of life? Unfortunately, no one returns from death to provide answers. However, one truth is certain: death is inevitable.

Referencing Job 14:1-2, he highlighted that the days of man are few and full of trouble, fleeting like a shadow. Yet, he added that these days are ordained by God.

While the specifics of what happens after death remain uncertain, Jesus provided a clear answer in John 11:25-26 when he visited Mary and Martha after the death of Lazarus: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, though they die, shall live.”

Apostle Obuobi further explained that the nature of one’s death—whether by accident, drowning, illness, or other means—does not matter. What is vital is that those who believe in Jesus will live again.

Referring to 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, he emphasized that Jesus is the antidote to death. When the trumpet sounds, “we who are sown perishable will rise imperishable, and we will receive glorified bodies at the resurrection.”

He pointed out that the death and resurrection of Jesus offer undeniable proof that the righteous will live again. Jesus’ victory over death is further affirmed in 2 Corinthians 4:14, where it is written, “We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus.”

Additionally, the fact that Jesus holds power over death, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:10, serves as further evidence of the righteous’ resurrection.

Apostle Obuobi also noted that Jesus destroyed the one who has the power of death, affirming the promise of eternal life for believers.

However, he stressed that the key condition for living again is faith in Jesus Christ. Only those who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour will rise in glory.

He, therefore, urged all attendees who have not yet accepted Christ to do so, so that they may triumph over death and experience the promise of eternal life.

God Takes Notice of Everything Done for Him - Apostle Samuel Obuobi web

God Takes Notice of Everything Done for Him – Apostle Samuel Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has reminded Christians that God takes notice of everything done for Him and rewards each person’s actions accordingly.

Drawing from the dialogue between the Lord Jesus and Peter in Mark 10:28-30, Apostle Obuobi outlined two kinds of rewards Christians receive for their good deeds in Christ: earthly rewards and eternal rewards.

He further emphasized that while salvation is free, rewards are not—they are earned through effort and activity.

Apostle Obuobi made this poignant assertion during his presentation on the topic, “Living for Eternal Rewards,” on the morning of the third day of the Volta-Oti RCC session of the Ministers and Wives Conference held at PIWC, Ho.

Explaining Colossians 3:24, he encouraged the ministers and their wives to serve in ministry as unto the Lord, rather than unto their respective Area Heads.

He also advised ministers not to become discouraged when their good deeds seem unnoticed or unappreciated.

Drawing inspiration from Kevin Halloran, Apostle Obuobi reminded the participants that they will be duly rewarded when they endure pressures in ministry, give generously, bear insults, and offer excellent service to their employers.

“When we serve the Lord faithfully, we will earn different kinds of crowns, including the crown of life, the imperishable crown, the crown of righteousness, the crown of glory, and the crown of rejoicing,” he stated.

The General Secretary further explained that faithfulness is expected of Christians in three areas: unto the Lord, to the calling they have received, and to the church or institution (The Church of Pentecost) that provides the platform for their service.

Apostle Obuobi concluded by urging ministers and their wives to remain obedient to God and their calling, so they can successfully earn the rewards promised by the One who called them.

Absolute Holiness Is Possible - Apostle Samuel Obuobi web

Absolute Holiness Is Possible – Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians to pursue absolute holiness and reject any doctrine that suggests otherwise. He emphasized that holiness is a non-negotiable trait for every believer, and it should be understood as an attainable goal.

He made these remarks during his presentation on the rationale behind the 2025 theme at the opening session of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Volta and Oti Regions, currently ongoing at PIWC Ho.

Quoting Ezekiel 43:12, Apostle Obuobi affirmed that Christians are called to lead holy lives, explaining, “The law of the Lord’s temple, which is your body, is absolute holiness.”

He stressed that believers must not focus excessively on the weaknesses inherited from the Adamic nature but instead, focus on the life they have received through faith in Christ— a life capable of living in purity.

Apostle Obuobi further emphasized that there must be a visible distinction between a believer’s former life and the new life in Christ. This transformation should be evident to the world.

Referring to Apostle Paul, he noted that people glorified God because they saw the clear transformation in his life.

Quoting 1 Thessalonians 4:7, one of the main texts of the 2025 theme, he explained that the same man who had once persecuted Christians was now publicly advocating for the faith. This dramatic change led people to praise God.

“We must reach a point where others can clearly see the change in our lives. Until this is achieved, we have not yet reached the mark,” he said.

He added, “The change in Apostle Paul’s life was undeniable, which is why people glorified God. Similarly, our lives should reflect such transformation, and others should give glory to God.”

Apostle Obuobi encouraged all members to strive for righteousness and holiness, stressing that this is one of the key ways to ensure the glory of God remains within the Church for generations to come.
