The Kaneshie Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue, has charged Christian armies not to relax in their quest in possessing the nations for the Lord, stressing that, true soldiers of Christ are always vigilant.
In his opening address at the 2022 Kaneshie Area Officers’ Retreat (Apostolisation) on Monday, February 21, 2022, at the Kaneshie Central Auditorium, he said that as army of God, Christians need to be equipped with the full armour of God so that they can withstand the tricks and schemes of the enemy.
According to him, the armour of God is furnished by God himself and that he [God] enjoins every believer to put it on, saying, “It must be worn day and night; we must walk, work and sleep in them.”
Apostle Etrue, an Executive Council Member of the church, explained that the annual Apostolisation is a capacity-building and training programme instituted by leadership of church to equip and empower church leaders to be able to discharge their duties effectively.
This year’s nation-wide Apostolisation programme is under the theme, “Equipping the Church as an Army of God to Possess the Nations” (Hebrews 13:20-21; Ephesians 4:11-12; 6:10-12) which is the 2022 theme of the church.
“This theme calls for vigorous and intentional equipping of the church to get every single member of the church to assume the posture of an army of the Lord to take the nations,” he said.
He added: “In doing this, we intend to use the metaphor of the armour of God to get our members to understand from the lenses of scripture, the social, political and spiritual forces at work in the various spheres of society and to build their defences against their onslaught.”
Apostle Mike Etrue was hopeful that through the retreat the Lord would raise an equipped united army and release them to equip his church to possess the nation.
Guest speakers at the programme are Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe (International Missions Director) and Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah Agyeman (Teshie-Nungua Area Head).
