Preserve the Gospel For Future Generations — Chairman Urges Christians

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has urged Christians to take deliberate steps to preserve the Gospel for future generations, warning that any distortion of its truth undermines the Church’s purity, growth, and impact.

He said this in a live televised sermon aired on PENT TV during a ‘Special Evening Service With The Chairman’ on Sunday, April 12, 2026, as part of his series on “The Church Destined to Be Holy.”

Continuing his message on “The Doctrinal Purity of the Church,” Apostle Nyamkye stressed the need to preserve the Gospel, explaining that it is the means through which God cleanses, raises and blesses His people.

“The Church must rise to defend the truth, because the Gospel must be preserved against the future,” he said.

Quoting Galatians 2:4–5 and Ephesians 3:21, he pointed to Apostle Paul’s firm defence of the Gospel, urging Christians to do same for future generations. He cautioned that any adulteration of the Gospel leads to a decline in the manifestation of God’s glory.

“If we want the glory of God to transcend generations, then we need to preserve the Gospel, he stated, urging believers to walk worthy of their calling, as instructed in Ephesians 4:1

He explained that walking worthy of one’s calling means living according to the standards God has set out in Scripture. He encouraged Christians to deepen their commitment to studying God’s Word, noting that this enables them to discern right from wrong.

While acknowledging the importance of prayer, he emphasised that the Word of God remains key to guiding believers to live worthy lives and to unlock divine blessings.

Apostle Nyamekye further stated that the preservation of the doctrinal purity of the Church establishes clear boundaries, enabling believers to understand and pursue God’s standards. He added that ministerial gifts are given to equip the Church towards maturity in Christ.

Referrencing Ephesians 4:14, he admonished believers to be discerning, explaining that while God uses people to lead, build, guard, and guide His Church, the enemy also uses humans to advance his purposes.

Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2:3, the GPCC President observed that some teachers engage in deceptive teachings due to ignorance (Mark 12:24–27), self-interest (Philippians 2:19–21), and demonic influence on their consciences (1 Timothy 4:1–2; 2 Timothy 2:26). He highlighted the dangerous nature of such teachings, noting that they may appear convincing but ultimately serve Satan’s agenda of targeting nations and future generations (Revelation 20:2–3, 7–8).

Touching on the power of teaching, Chairman Nyamekye explained that teaching shapes belief, which in turn influences conduct, and ultimately culture. He added that teaching—whether through word, music, or drama—has a lasting impact on society.

“Wrong teaching leads to wrong beliefs, and eventually to wrong behaviour,” he cautioned, citing 2 Timothy 2:15–17 to encourage believers to diligently study God’s Word to avoid godless and misleading teachings.

He concluded by urging the Church to pay close attention to the teachings its members are exposed to, so that they can uphold sound doctrine while cultivating a strong and healthy community life for the world to see.

Church Urged to Raise Disciples for Workplace Impact

A National Executive Council (NEC) Member of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) and General Overseer of Revival Outreach Church, Rev. Prof. Abednego Amartey, has called on the Church to intentionally raise faithful disciples whose values and conduct positively influence the workplace and society at large.

He made the call on Thursday, February 5, 2026, while addressing a plenary session of the 2026 Heads of Churches and Organisations Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa-Fetteh.

Speaking on the topic “Raising Faithful Christians to Impact the Workplace,” Rev. Prof. Amartey emphasised that authentic Christianity must extend beyond church gatherings into professional and public spaces through integrity, faithfulness, and responsible stewardship.

He explained that one of the Church’s challenges is the tendency to separate faith from daily work life, stressing that believers are called to reflect Christ wherever they are positioned. According to him, Christianity must be visible in how believers conduct themselves at work and contribute to improving their environments.

Using John 8:30–32 as his main text, Rev. Prof. Amartey highlighted the distinction between believers and disciples. He noted that while belief begins in the heart and is known fully only by God, discipleship is revealed through obedience and the practical application of God’s Word. He added that discipleship is a visible process demonstrated by consistent Christian living.

He further explained that intellectual knowledge of Scripture alone does not produce disciples, stressing that obedience and daily application of biblical principles are essential. Drawing from James 2:17–18, he noted that genuine faith is expressed through works and practical action.

Rev. Prof. Amartey underscored that discipleship remains a core mandate of the Church and must be accompanied by faithfulness, consistency, and accountability. Referencing 1 Corinthians 4:2 and Luke 16:10–13, he highlighted the importance of stewardship, noting that faithfulness in small responsibilities prepares believers for greater assignments.

Addressing workplace conduct, he urged church leaders to train members to demonstrate Christian values such as diligence, financial discipline, patience, and excellence in their professions. He also encouraged believers to actively seek the welfare and productivity of their organisations.

He called on the Church to remain intentional about raising faithful disciples whose lives bear visible fruit, noting that societal transformation is the outcome of effective discipleship.
