Apostle Johnny Peprah Urges Christians To Practise Excellent Tithing For Generational Blessings

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

An Assistant Registrar at Pentecost University, Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah, has called on Christians to embrace a culture of excellent tithing, emphasising its spiritual significance and the enduring blessings it brings.

He delivered the message during a sermon themed “The Blessings of Excellent Tithing” at the PMKY Worship Centre at Kasoa on Sunday, February 15, 2025, drawing on Luke 18:18–30 and Mark 10:21-30.

Apostle Peprah noted that tithes and offerings form a crucial aspect of a believer’s relationship with God. Giving, he explained, should not be reduced to a mere financial transaction but understood as an act of obedience and devotion that deepens one’s walk with God. Faithful tithing, he said, demonstrates a heart fully surrendered to God.

He warned believers against placing their trust in material possessions, describing them as unreliable and temporary. Instead, he urged them to anchor their faith and hope in Jesus Christ, reminding them that trust in God remains firm even when life becomes uncertain.

Apostle Peprah stressed that God requires believers to offer their whole heart, soul, and mind to Him. He encouraged Christians to love their neighbours as themselves, calling this an essential expectation God has for His children.

Speaking on the rewards of obedience, he highlighted the certainty of both earthly and heavenly blessings for those who commit themselves faithfully to God’s instructions. Such blessings, he noted, are not fleeting but can extend to future generations, particularly for those who consistently pay their tithes and offerings.

He likened tithing to sowing seeds and entering into a covenant with God. Through this covenant, he said, divine blessings flow continually into the lives of believers and their descendants. Contributions made towards God’s work, he added, attract divine strength and grace to thrive.

Referencing the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, Apostle Peprah reiterated that generous givers will in turn reap generously. He emphasised that giving carries a greater blessing than receiving, describing God’s presence as the ultimate reward.

Encouraging spiritual growth, he challenged the congregation to go beyond the basic ten percent tithe. While acknowledging that the ten percent remains the foundation, he urged mature believers to give beyond that threshold, suggesting offerings of up to twenty-five percent as an expression of deeper faith and commitment.

He further urged Christians to give their tithes in holiness, faithfulness, and joy, assuring them that God is able to turn their situations around. Those who sow in tears, he reminded them, will surely reap in abundance.

Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah concluded his sermon with a declaration of blessings over the congregation, affirming that excellent and faithful tithing unlocks lasting and generational blessings from God.

The service was hosted by the Resident Minister, Pastor Fred Amoakohene Sarpong, who also serves as a lecturer at Pentecost University.

Baptism & Infilling of the Holy Spirit Essential for Christian Empowerment — Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe web

Le Baptême Et Le Remplissage Du Saint-Esprit Essentiels Pour La Puissance Du Chrétien — Apôtre Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe

by with No Comment Missions

Le Directeur des Missions de l’Eglise de Pentecote, l’Apôtre Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, a exhorté les croyants à rechercher à la fois le baptême et le remplissage continu du Saint-Esprit afin de vivre une vie chrétienne remplie de puissance.

S’exprimant lors de la Conférence des Ministres et Épouses (CME-Francophone) à Lomé, au Togo, aujourd’hui [20 février 2026], il a expliqué que, tandis que le baptême du Saint-Esprit introduit le croyant dans la puissance divine, le remplissage du Saint-Esprit constitue une expérience continue, entretenue par la dévotion quotidienne, la prière et une soumission totale à Dieu.

Il a décrit l’onction du Saint-Esprit comme la puissance qui rend le chrétien capable de servir efficacement, ajoutant que la mesure de cette onction dépend du niveau d’abandon et de soumission à l’Esprit.

Selon lui, le baptême du Saint-Esprit peut survenir à travers une repentance sincère, l’obéissance et un profond désir de la présence de Dieu, précisant que certains croyants font également cette expérience lors du baptême d’eau.

L’Apôtre Bekoe a souligné que le remplissage continu de l’Esprit permet aux croyants de marcher dans la sainteté, de manifester la puissance spirituelle et de porter le fruit de l’Esprit.

Il a également expliqué que la direction du Saint-Esprit se manifeste souvent par une conviction intérieure, une inspiration spirituelle et un fardeau divin, conduisant les croyants à vivre dans la piété et le service fidèle.

Il a exhorté les chrétiens à faire du remplissage du Saint-Esprit une priorité quotidienne, le décrivant comme essentiel à la survie spirituelle et à une vie chrétienne efficace.

Church Must Share Christ’s Love to Save a Dying World — Apostle Lare Banimpo Jules web

Church Must Share Christ’s Love to Save a Dying World — Apostle Lare Banimpo Jules

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The National Head of The Church of Pentecost in Togo and Executive Council Member of the Church, Apostle Lare Banimpo Jules, has called on believers to actively demonstrate the love of Christ in a world he described as spiritually dying.

He delivered the message today [February 20, 2026] in a presentation titled “Sharing the Love of Christ with a Dying World” at the Conférence des Ministres et Épouses (CME-Francophone) held at the Palais des Congrès de Lomé.

Speaking on the fundamental mission of the Church, Apostle Jules referenced several Bible verses to emphasise that Christ’s example of seeking and saving the lost must guide the Church’s work today.

He stressed that the Church must intentionally and strategically deploy itself for evangelism, noting that every believer is an ambassador committed to the salvation of souls.

“The fundamental mission of the Church is the salvation of souls,” he emphasised, urging members to move beyond church buildings and engage society with the message of Christ’s love.

Apostle Banimpo challenged church leaders to lead by example in evangelism, stressing that effective ministry requires taking the gospel outside traditional church settings.

He warned against legalism and called on believers to serve Christ with compassion and purpose in order to bring light into darkness.

According to him, the relevance of the Church in today’s world depends on its obedience to its divine mandate of reaching the lost and transforming society through Kingdom values and principles.

He further described the Church as a roadmap for societal transformation, identifying the gospel, the Holy Spirit, and the Church itself as key agents in advancing God’s mission on earth.

The Togo National Head also highlighted the importance of Christian character, explaining that a believer’s lifestyle gives credibility to the message of the gospel.

“Our character is the strength of the gospel—it speaks louder than our words,” he noted, urging Christians to demonstrate righteousness and holiness as a testimony to others.

He emphasised that believers must not discriminate in evangelism, stressing that salvation is for all and that the Church must not decide who deserves to receive it.

Apostle Jules reiterated the Church’s vision of “Possessing the Nations,” explaining that this mission is fulfilled not through control or domination but through service and the love of Christ.

He encouraged believers not to fear darkness but to bring transformation by becoming agents of light in their communities.

“The Church must possess the nations—not by domination, but through the love of the Kingdom,” he stated, adding that only the gospel has the power to deliver humanity and rescue the world from spiritual condemnation.

He concluded by urging ministers and believers to faithfully proclaim Christ’s love, shepherd those entrusted to their care, and remain committed to spreading the gospel everywhere.

The CME-Francophone conference has brought together ministers and their spouses from French-speaking nations for spiritual renewal, leadership development, and mission advancement, with a strong emphasis on evangelism and societal transformation.

Faithfulness Is a Spiritual Force, Says Bishop Dr. Gordon Kisseh web

Faithfulness Is a Spiritual Force, Says Bishop Dr Gordon Kisseh

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Presiding Bishop of The Life International Church, Bishop Dr Gordon Kisseh, has described faithfulness as a powerful spiritual force that sustains the Christian life and reflects the very nature of God, urging believers to remain steadfast even when progress appears slow.

Speaking on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at the 2026 Heads of Churches and Organisations Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Bishop Kisseh delivered a message on the topic “The Force of Faithfulness.” He likened the Christian life to a long-distance race, noting that spiritual growth is achieved through endurance, patience, and consistent obedience rather than instant results. He indicated that nothing of lasting value is attained suddenly and emphasised that believers must remain committed over time.

Bishop Kisseh explained that faithfulness is an active expression of God’s glory, reflecting His holiness, righteousness, and faithfulness. He noted that God often entrusts people with small responsibilities before assigning greater ones, and encouraged Christians to embrace humble beginnings while keeping a vision for greater impact.

He also cautioned that betrayal, greed, and distractions can undermine faithfulness. Even when wronged, believers are called to continue being faithful, because faithfulness is ultimately directed toward God and not men.

Drawing from Hebrews 3:1–6, Bishop Kisseh described faithfulness as a process, a fruit of the Spirit cultivated over time, and not a gift received overnight. He reminded participants that setbacks do not cancel God’s work and urged them to trust that, in His timing, God will accomplish His purposes through them.

Bishop Kisseh underscored the responsibility of obedience, noting that God does not perform by miracle what He expects believers to do through faithful action. He encouraged Christians to remain steadfast as they partner with God in fulfilling His purposes.

Pentecost Preparatory Honours Late Mrs Agatha Amoah with Academic Block web.jpg

Pentecost Preparatory Honours Late Mrs Agatha Amoah with Academic Block

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

An academic block at the Pentecost Preparatory School in Madina has been named in honour of the late Mrs Agatha Amoah, a pioneer of the institution and wife of former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired).

The dedication took place during a short but significant ceremony held at the school premises on Wednesday January 28,2025.

Pentecost Preparatory School was founded in 1985 as Arm of the Lord by then Mr Albert Amoah and his wife, the late Mrs Agatha Amoah. The establishment of the school was inspired by a vision God placed in the heart of Mrs Amoah, which later grew into a fully functioning educational institution.

In 1994, the school was donated to The Church of Pentecost after two unsuccessful attempts by the couple to hand it over to new management. This decision was necessitated by their increasing responsibilities in full-time ministry, as Apostle Amoah became actively engaged in pastoral duties.

Speaking at the naming ceremony, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired) described the school as “a seed of thought planted in the mind of my late wife many years ago,” noting that what began as a simple vision has today become a lasting legacy impacting generations of children.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, who also addressed the gathering, urged Christians and leaders to live purpose-driven lives that leave enduring legacies for future generations. He emphasised that great achievements often begin as small ideas.

“Everything starts like a seed,” he said, “but when it is well looked after and watered, it grows into something positive.”

Apostle Obuobi further encouraged resilience in the face of opposition and challenges, drawing lessons from the perseverance of Apostle Amoah and his late wife, who faced significant resistance during the early years of the school’s operations.

Touching on the importance of memorials, he referenced Joshua 4:1–6, explaining that God instructed the Israelites to set up a memorial of stones as a reminder of His intervention when the River Jordan parted. According to him, such memorials serve as reminders of God’s faithfulness and human obedience.

In a related announcement, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired) unveiled the establishment of the Agatha Amoah Excellence Award, which will be presented to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance, with a special focus on excellence in English Literature.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye Entreats Believers To Trust In The Spirit’s Power web

Apostle Dr Nyamekye Entreats Believers To Trust In The Spirit’s Power

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has stated that while the incomprehensibility of God may be difficult to grasp, the answer to life’s challenges has always been the abiding presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking at the Officers’ Retreat for officers in Kumasi on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the Asokwa Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Kumasi, on the theme: “The Holy Spirit Shall Come Upon You and the Power of the Most High Will Overshadow You” (Luke 1:29–38), Apostle Dr Nyamekye encouraged believers to cultivate steadfast faith, stressing that officers of the church must exemplify strong faith to inspire members in fulfilling God’s purpose.

Expounding on the angel Gabriel’s annunciation to Mary, Apostle Dr Nyamekye noted that her question, “How will this be?” reflected the natural human concern with practicalities. Yet, he said, the divine response was clear: with God, all things are possible.

“You may not be able to figure out how it is going to happen or how the situation will be turned around, but there is abundant evidence that what God has said, He will do,” he declared.

He cautioned against the tendency to complain, which he described as a distraction from receiving from God. Citing the man at the pool of Bethesda, who lamented his 38 years of infirmity when asked by Jesus if he wished to be healed, Apostle Dr Nyamekye said: “The answer has always been the same – the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.”

The Chairman further warned believers to be discerning about what they hear, as hearing shapes conduct, faith, or fear, saying, “Both faith and fear come by hearing. Fear paralyses, but faith quickens and revives.”

Illustrating with the story of Jairus in Mark 5:21–23, Apostle Dr Nyamekye explained how the report of his daughter’s death could have extinguished faith, yet Jesus’ presence brought life. He urged Christians not to be swayed by discouraging voices but to build faith through God’s word.

“There are many voices in this world – the devil speaks, people speak, our own spirit speaks, and God also speaks. No matter how reasonable a voice may sound, consider its source and content carefully,” he advised.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye concluded by admonishing the gathering not to be enslaved by fear but to strengthen their faith through right hearing, thereby deepening their connection with God for effective Kingdom work.

Be Aggressive In Your Pursuit Of The Holy Spirit – Pastor Yeboah To Youth

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesYouth Ministry

The Resident Minister of PENSA at the University of Ghana Campus, Pastor Fedalis Yeboah, has urged young Christians to be intentional and fervent in seeking the Holy Spirit, stressing that life becomes frustrating without the power of God’s Spirit.

According to him, life’s purpose is only truly meaningful when one walks fully in the Spirit without gratifying the desires of the flesh. Therefore, seeking the Spirit’s power should be a top priority for every believer seeking transformation.

Speaking on the theme, “Generating Power through Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Infilling” with reference to Acts 1:4–8, during the Friday morning session of the 2026 PENSA Ghana Conference at the KNUST Campus, Pastor Yeboah explained that receiving power from God enables believers to witness the Gospel boldly, regardless of circumstances, because divine backing is assured when proclaiming the Good News.

Using an electrical device as an analogy, he illustrated that just as a gadget requires a consistent power source to charge its battery and function effectively, so does life. Without power, life becomes frustrating.

“A phone or laptop battery must be charged by a power source to perform its duties, just like a car that relies on fuel to operate,” he said.
“Without the source, these devices are useless—and that is what life is like. Young people must understand that it takes power to fulfil one’s purpose and make a meaningful impact on society,” he added.

He challenged the congregation to move beyond merely having the Holy Spirit dwell within them after accepting Christ, and instead allow the Spirit to become the owner and overseer of their lives through baptism in the Spirit.

“The Holy Spirit dwelling in you is a seal that makes you a member of His Body. He resides in you—but until He moves from tenancy to presidency, you will remain an ordinary, frustrated Christian,” he stated.

Pastor Yeboah further advised the gathering not to rely solely on books but to urgently and aggressively pursue the power of the Holy Spirit. Through Him, holiness is demonstrated, boldness is secured, and the gifts and fruits of the Spirit are manifested for transformation.

Addressing misconceptions about the existence and operations of the Holy Spirit, the University of Ghana Campus PENSA Pastor clarified that although counterfeits and false spirits may attempt to imitate the workings of God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit is real and given by God for the edification of the Church and empowerment of believers.

PIWC Sakumono Women Bring Christmas Joy To New Life Orphanage

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

The Women’s Ministry of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Sakumono, on Friday, December 26, 2025, donated assorted items and cash to the New Life Orphanage Home at Nungua as part of activities marking the District’s Christmas convention.

The items presented included bags of rice, cooking oil, tinned fish, bottled water, assorted soft drinks, milk, biscuits and snacks, soaps, sanitary pads, clothing, and other essentials to support the children’s upkeep at the home. In addition, the ministry made a cash donation of GH¢5,000 to help cater for the needs of the inmates.

Presenting the items on behalf of the District, the wife of the Resident Minister, Dr Mrs Theresah Fianko-Larbi, assisted by the wife of the Associate Minister, Dr Salomey Mensah-Tandoh, said the gesture was inspired by the love of Christ, adding that Jesus Christ died to bring peace to the world.

She explained that the theme for this year’s Christmas convention was “Jesus Christ, Spirit Conceived, Gospel Unleashed.” She noted that the ministry deemed it important to demonstrate that unleashed love by reaching out to the vulnerable in society and helping to meet their basic needs.

Dr Salomey Mensah-Tandoh offered prayers for the children and staff of the orphanage on behalf of the District, committing their lives and future into God’s hands.

Responding on behalf of the Home, the Head and owner, Nii Afotey Botwe II, expressed profound gratitude to the Women’s Ministry for the kind gesture and their continuous support over the years. He recounted that he started the orphanage about 25 years ago and, by God’s grace, it now houses over 92 children.

He disclosed that some of the children are currently in tertiary institutions, including universities and nursing training colleges, while others have been enrolled in vocational skills training and public schools within the community. He added that the home also supports some disabled persons and occasionally offers food and shelter to individuals who walk in seeking help.

Nii Afotey Botwe II thanked the ministry for bringing hope and joy to the children, especially during the Christmas season.

God Rewards Faithful Service – Chairman Encourages Leaders During Weija Area Visitation

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has commenced a four-day working visit to the newly created Weija Area, beginning on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with an impactful All Officers’ Session held at the New Weija Central (Mandela).

The atmosphere was filled with excitement and expectation as officers and church leaders gathered to receive spiritual impartation. The Chairman, equally energised and purposeful, delivered a poignant message grounded in Hebrews 6:9–10 and Psalm 103:1–5, reminding leaders that although the Church does not remunerate with money, God Himself faithfully rewards the labour of His servants.

“God is a rewarder; He is not unjust,” he stated, encouraging officers to work even harder now that the Weija Area – carved out of the Kasoa Area earlier this year – has been fully established and entrusted to their stewardship.

Drawing further from 1 Chronicles 9:10–11 and 11:10–11, Apostle Dr Nyamekye highlighted that God remembers those who support His work. “David’s helpers were mentioned by name to show that no one who serves faithfully is ever forgotten,” he noted. He urged leaders to actively support their Area Head and contribute wholeheartedly to building a strong and vibrant Area.

The Chairman emphasised faithfulness as the primary support every leader must bring; faithfulness in prayer, faithfulness in handling church resources, and faithfulness in performing all duties through the power of the Holy Spirit. Quoting Richard Baxter, he reminded them that ministers must continually seek “light, life, and strength from God,” for human ability alone is insufficient for the sacred work of ministry.

He admonished church leaders, especially preachers, to cultivate a strong prayer life. “A prayerless ministry brings loss to God’s church,” he cautioned. Members, he added, must also pray for their pastors. “We do not qualify to criticise pastors we do not pray for,” he said, advising leaders to lovingly correct those who specialise in fault-finding rather than supporting the ministry.

Referencing Jonathan Edwards, the Chairman remarked that many ministers would achieve far more if believers used the same energy spent on criticism to pray for them. “You cannot change what you do not love,” he said, warning that yielding to the enemy’s accusing spirit weakens church leadership.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye further assured the officers that God’s presence is the true beauty and power of the Church. He urged them not to oppose the Church but to appreciate its divine heritage. “Believe in the God of this Church. Bless the Church, and it will bless you in return,” he concluded.

Also in attendance were Mrs Mary Nyamekye, wife of the Chairman; Apostle Isaac Amatey Anim, Weija Area Head; ministers and their wives; retirees and widows; Area Executive Committee members; and Pastor Benjamin Quaye Ofei-Badu (National Coordinator for HUM)

Christ Alone Has Power To Save, Transform Lives – Apostle Edzii Davidson

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, Sefwi Wiawso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has proclaimed that salvation, transformation, and eternal life are found in Jesus Christ alone.

Preaching on the theme “We Have Seen Him, Christ the Saviour” from 1 John 4:14 at the ongoing “Tamale For Christ” crusade on Thursday, November 27, 2025, at the Jubilee Park, he stressed that the deepest need of humanity is a true Saviour, and that Jesus remains the only one qualified to redeem the world.

He affirmed that the Christian message stands on a firm testimony: the encounter with the Son of God, who is the Saviour of all.

Apostle Davidson explained that anyone who genuinely encounters Jesus experiences a complete change in destiny and lifestyle. He noted that Christ alone possesses the power to transform a person’s life in a way no human effort can achieve.

He said a life touched by Christ cannot remain the same because the Lord redirects destinies and brings individuals into alignment with God’s purpose. He emphasised that salvation through Christ rescues humanity from sin and eternal death.

To die without Christ, he noted, is to die in one’s sins, but to die in Christ is to enter eternity with forgiveness and hope. He therefore urged all gathered to accept Jesus as their Saviour, describing salvation as a gift freely offered to all who believe.

Speaking on transformation, he indicated that Jesus delivers individuals from ungodly and sinful lifestyles and releases their God-given potential.

According to him, a crooked life suppresses destiny, but an encounter with Christ empowers individuals to impact their generation in righteousness and godliness. On divine healing, he assured the congregation that Christ’s power extends to every form of sickness – whether congenital, hereditary, or long-standing – affirming that no infirmity is beyond the reach of Jesus’ healing touch.

Apostle Davidson highlighted the uniqueness of Christ’s resurrection as the foundation of the Christian faith, contrasting it with the graves of other religious leaders that still exist. He reminded the audience that the empty tomb is the eternal proof that Jesus is alive and continues to save and transform lives.

Concluding his message with 1 Peter 2:24, he declared that Christ bore humanity’s sins on the cross, giving Him the authority to forgive. He added that those who believe in Jesus receive power to live victoriously because the risen Lord imparts strength and new life to all who trust in Him.
