Jesus Christ Is the Source of Divine Health – Apostle Davidson

March 16, 2026

by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church News Evangelism Ministry Top Stories

The Area Head of The Church of Pentecost in Sefwi Wiawso, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, has stated that divine health is essential for fulfilling one’s God-given destiny, emphasising that Jesus Christ remains the accredited provider of a healthy and whole life for believers.

He made the remark during the morning session of the ongoing “Sefwi For Christ” crusade on March 13, 2026, at The Church of Pentecost Central Auditorium in Sefwi Bekwai.

Speaking on the topic “Jesus Christ, the Accredited Healthy Life Provider”, he drew lessons from the Third Epistle of John 1:2, explaining that good health is essential for fulfilling one’s destiny, noting that physical weakness and illness can easily become major distractions in life.

“If you are healthy, you are able to fulfil your destiny,” he said, adding that persistent pain or sickness can divide a person’s focus and hinder productivity.

Referencing Mark 12:29–30, he noted that a person who is not healthy may struggle to fully concentrate on serving God and contributing meaningfully to society.

He stressed that divine health is part of God’s desire for His people, citing Matthew 8:1–2 to affirm that God does not intend for His children to remain in a state of infirmity but desires to heal and restore them.

Apostle Davidson further encouraged believers to have confidence in God’s power to heal, referencing John 5:14–15, which assures believers that God hears and answers prayers offered according to His will.

“If it is the will of God for you to be well, no devil can keep you sick,” he stated.

He concluded by urging believers to demonstrate faith in the gospel by stepping forward in faith and doing what they could not previously do, describing divine health as “the bread for God’s children” and a powerful testimony that can inspire others.

Twifo Praso Hosts Transformational Twifo For Christ Gospel Crusade-1 web

Twifo Praso Area Dedicates New Tricycles For Evangelism

March 15, 2026

by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church News Evangelism Ministry Top Stories

The Twifo Praso Area of The Church of Pentecost has strengthened its evangelism drive with the dedication of two tricycles to support gospel outreach in the Area. The vehicles were dedicated during a brief ceremony held on January 31, 2026, at the Asikafo Assembly premises.

The initiative forms part of the Area’s efforts to enhance evangelistic activities and extend the reach of the gospel to remote and hard-to-access communities within the Area. The tricycles are expected to assist the Evangelism Ministry and outreach teams in travelling to villages and communities that are difficult to access by conventional means, thereby facilitating effective gospel proclamation and community engagement.

The acquisition also aligns with the church’s 2026 theme, which focuses on unleashing the church to transform society with the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. By strengthening logistical support for evangelism, the Area seeks to intensify efforts at reaching the unreached and advancing the church’s mandate of possessing the nations.

The dedication ceremony was attended by ministers and their wives serving in the Area, a session of officers, and members of the church who gathered to witness the event and pray for the effective use of the vehicles in advancing the work of God.

Speaking during the ceremony, the Twifo Praso Area Head, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko, expressed appreciation to the Evangelism Ministry and all who contributed to making the acquisition possible. He encouraged the evangelism team and members to make good use of the tricycles to support the church’s outreach efforts.

Apostle Otu-Nyarko noted that the tricycles symbolise the church’s commitment to taking the message of salvation through Jesus Christ to every corner of society. He emphasised that the gospel remains the central mandate of the church and urged members to remain dedicated to soul-winning and discipleship.

He also commended the leadership of the Area ministries for their commitment to the church’s vision and evangelism agenda, urging them to continue supporting initiatives that advance the mission of the church.

Additionally, he encouraged the team responsible for the vehicles to ensure proper maintenance so that they would serve the intended purpose effectively for many years. With the addition of the tricycles, the Area’s evangelism team is expected to cover wider territories and intensify outreach activities in surrounding communities.

Apostle Otu-Nyarko further called on members of the church to support the mission of evangelism through prayer and active participation, noting that the responsibility of sharing the gospel remains a mandate given by Jesus Christ to every believer.

The Twifo For Christ Gospel and Power Crusade brought a remarkable wave of spiritual renewal to Twifo Praso and its surrounding communities as thousands gathered at the A&D School Park for five days of intensive evangelism, prayer, and worship.

The event, which attracted more than 6,000 people from diverse backgrounds, became a powerful platform through which many encountered the saving grace and power of Jesus Christ.

Held from February 17–21, 2026, the crusade was organised by the Twifo Praso Area of The Church of Pentecost under the leadership of Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko and his wife, Mrs. Doris Otu-Nyarko. Dubbed “Twifo for Christ Gospel and Power Crusade,” the outreach aligned with the church’s 2026 theme aimed at unleashing the entire church to transform society with the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The crusade ran with the theme, “Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World” (John 4:42), featuring morning and evening sessions marked by fervent prayer, vibrant praise and worship, and life-transforming messages.

The opening night was ministered by Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, RCC Coordinator for the Central Region and Cape Coast Area Head. Preaching on the hope found in Christ, he explained that humanity, though lost in sin, has been given a remedy through Jesus Christ. Emphasising that salvation can only be found in the name of Jesus, he called on the crowd to embrace the gift of redemption.

On the second and third nights, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko expounded on the crusade theme, highlighting Christ as the only Saviour who restores the broken and grants abundant life.

He noted that although the enemy seeks to destroy destinies, the love of Christ brings restoration and hope to humanity. His messages stirred many hearts and led numerous people to surrender their lives to Christ.

Friday’s session featured Elder Dr. Nana Samuel Amoh Tobin, Chief Executive Officer of the Tobinco Group of Companies, who spoke on the enduring love of God.

He noted that salvation through Christ brings not only eternal life but also divine protection, mercy, and peace in daily living. His message drew many to the altar in response to the call of God’s relentless love.

On the final night, Elder Dr. Bismark Amoah of Bohye Prayer Centre delivered a message on the benefits of Christ as the Saviour of the world, emphasising that salvation in Jesus brings healing, deliverance, and restoration to all who believe.

By the close of the crusade, a total of 710 souls were won, comprising 456 adults and 254 children. Additionally, 241 converts received water baptism, 93 were baptised in the Holy Spirit, while 159 people testified of instant healings and deliverance.

A counselling session held on the final morning at the Asikafo Assembly also provided guidance and prayer support for 81 individuals seeking help in various aspects of life.

As the crusade concluded with thanksgiving and celebration, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko commended the organising teams and encouraged members to sustain the revival by continuing to share the gospel in their communities, reaffirming the church’s commitment to the Possessing the Nations agenda.

Only The Blood Of Jesus Forgives Sin – Elder Edzekumhene

March 13, 2026

by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church News Evangelism Ministry Top Stories

The Deputy Director of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Ismael Edzekumhene, has asserted that the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ remains the sole foundation for the forgiveness of sins.

Elder Edzekumhene made this declaration on March 12, 2026, during the “Sefwi Bekwai for Christ Crusade,” held at the R/C School Park at Sefwi Bekwai in the Western North Region. He spoke on the theme, “Jesus Christ, the Accredited Saviour of the World.”

According to him, Jesus Christ is not merely one among many saviours but the sole accredited Saviour of the world, emphasising that no human being who has ever lived can legitimately claim the power to save the world.

“Jesus came to save the world, and He is still saving the world today,” he stated, adding that the same Christ who came to redeem humanity will one day return as judge.

He stressed that acknowledging Christ as the only Saviour must go beyond mere celebration, urging believers to actively proclaim this truth to others.

Explaining the basis of salvation, the deputy evangelism director referenced Hebrews 9:22, which teaches that nearly everything is cleansed by blood and that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. He noted that since salvation involves the forgiveness of sins, it was necessary for someone to shed blood on behalf of humanity.

“If salvation is about forgiving sins, then it is impossible for sins to be forgiven unless blood is shed,” he explained, adding, “No one can save humanity unless that person is prepared to shed his blood.”

He, therefore, pointed out that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for humanity, God has given Him an accredited name above every other name by which people must be saved.

Citing Revelation 5:9, he emphasised that Jesus alone paid the redemptive price for humanity, making Him the only legitimate source of salvation.

To illustrate his point, Elder Edzekumhene compared salvation outside Christ to obtaining a certificate from an unaccredited university.

“If you attempt to obtain salvation without Christ, it will be like receiving a certificate from an unaccredited university,” he said, stressing, “Such a certificate will not be recognised because the institution itself is not accredited.”

He further explained that Jesus Christ is the only person through whom humanity can have a genuine relationship with God.

Elder Edzekumhene further stated that since Jesus paid the ultimate price for humanity’s redemption, He has every right to judge those who reject Him.

Quoting Acts of the Apostles 24:25, he warned against postponing the decision to accept Christ, saying, “There is no convenient time to accept Jesus.”

The “Sefwi Bekwai For Christ Crusade” is expected to end on March 14, 2026, with a free medical screening exercise and a special service for children.

by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church News Top Stories

The Dawhenya District of the The Church of Pentecost in the Tema Area has empowered seventy-one members with a total seed capital of GHS 93,701.00 to support and strengthen their small trading ventures.

The initiative, funded through the District’s 2025 District Week III programme, forms part of the Church’s Vision 2028 agenda and reflects a deliberate commitment to holistic ministry that integrates spiritual growth with economic empowerment.

The intervention was designed to move beyond financial assistance by serving as a strategic investment in the productive capacity and dignity of members. District leadership emphasised that the objective was to help beneficiaries launch, stabilise and expand viable business ventures, thereby promoting sustainable livelihoods and community impact. The programme reflects the District’s conviction that Christian ministry must address both spiritual and socio-economic needs of members.

Under the leadership of District Pastor Ps. Bright Amankwah, the Dawhenya District has consistently pursued a balanced approach to discipleship that promotes spiritual maturity alongside economic responsibility. The District reiterated its commitment to raising members who are spiritually grounded while remaining economically resilient and socially relevant.

To ensure transparency and responsible stewardship of church resources, an interview and vetting process was instituted to assess applicants. The selection of the first batch of 71 beneficiaries was based on clearly defined criteria, including genuine need, feasibility of proposed business ideas and demonstrated commitment to stewardship principles. This structured approach reflected the District’s determination to manage resources prudently while maximising kingdom and community impact.

In addition to the financial support, a one-day empowerment and capacity-building training programme was organised for beneficiaries. Participants were equipped with essential knowledge in basic business management, financial discipline and sustainability practices. The training aimed at ensuring that the seed capital would be effectively utilised and multiplied for long-term benefit.

The District expressed confidence that the initiative will contribute to improved household income levels, strengthen local economic activity and reduce financial dependency while supporting kingdom advancement and community development.
