On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, the Tema Area of The Church of Pentecost held an impactful seminar focused on chieftaincy, aiming to explore its significance through the lens of faith.
The seminar, themed “Godly Royals: Transforming the Palace; the Perspective of The Pentecost Chieftaincy Ministry,” gathered prominent chiefs, queen mothers, and dignitaries to discuss the transformative influence of faith in traditional leadership.
Held under the distinguished leadership of Apostle Isaac Nii Kotei-Djani, the Tema Area Head, the event highlighted the church’s commitment to engaging leaders from various cultural backgrounds.
Apostle Kotei-Djani, renowned for his wisdom and dedication to integrating Kingdom principles within societal structures, expressed hope that the seminar would inspire a new wave of godly influence within traditional authority.
Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh, the National Chieftaincy Ministry Coordinator and an Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, served as the keynote speaker. He delivered a compelling address outlining the vision of The Church of Pentecost Chieftaincy Ministry, which encourages traditional leaders to embody godly governance.
His insights prompted attendees to rethink the role of leadership, viewing it not just as a position of honour but as a sacred duty with the potential to positively impact communities through divine principles. He emphasised that the concept of ‘Godly Royals’ encompasses a commitment to stewardship, urging chiefs and queen mothers to represent virtues that uplift and unify their communities.
The seminar provided a platform for merging traditional values with spirituality, addressing the blessings and responsibilities of chiefs as cultural custodians and pillars of community cohesion. Participants were encouraged to build partnerships that prioritise the welfare and spiritual growth of their people.
Apostle Denteh urged attendees to re-envision their roles within the palace, stating, “In sanctifying the palace with God’s wisdom, you protect a cultural legacy while pioneering a legacy of righteousness.”
Citing Acts 2:37-39, Apostle Denteh affirmed that conviction and repentance are hallmarks of Christian Royals.
The seminar concluded with a strong call for all participants to embrace their roles as godly stewards, fostering a future where palaces nationwide reflect values that promote unity, justice, and spiritual renewal.
The event was attended by the Area pastorate and their spouses.
