The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has disclosed that God’s promise to pour out His Spirit abundantly upon all people transcends sex, tribe, nationality, colour, or social status.
‘This means that God promises to pour out His Spirit without limitations,’ Apostle Obuobi stated, when he delivered a sermon on Friday, January 3, 2025, at the ongoing PENSA Ghana Conference at the University for Development Studies in Tamale.
Reading from Joel 2:27-28, he stressed that the Holy Ghost is not reserved for ministers or officers of the church, but for every believer, irrespective of their status in society.
Further reading from Ephesians 5:18, he highlighted Apostle Paul’s counsel to the Ephesian church to live wisely, urging them not to be drunk with wine but to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
‘To be filled with the Holy Spirit is not a one-time event,’ he explained, adding, ‘It does not occur once, and it is over.’
He elaborated on the continuous nature of being filled with the Holy Spirit, distinguishing it from the initial baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is often evidenced by speaking in tongues.
‘We should let the whole world hear that by the virgin birth of Jesus, He is the only one who can save us,’ he proclaimed.
The General Secretary encouraged believers to walk confidently assured of God’s ever-abiding presence.
‘We will not walk in fear of demons, witches, or any satanic powers,’ he said.
Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi concluded by reminding young people of Jesus’ promise in Matthew 28:20: ‘Even when we come face to face with death, He is with us.’
Present at the service were Apostle John Budu Tawiah (Tamale Area Head), Prophet Fred Antwi (Duayaw Nkwanta Area Head), Apostle David Amankwah (Bolga Area Head), Apostle Norman Appiah-Danquah (Walewale Area Head), Pastor Frederick Oboh (Sawla Area Head) and Pastor James Magyam (Yendi Area Head), among others.
