The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has revealed that God’s intention is for all believers to walk in the demonstration of His power.
He asserts that this empowerment is available to everyone who believes, not just those in positions of authority.
He made this statement during a sermon he delivered on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) – Asokwa, Kumasi, titled ‘Empowered by the Spirit for the Unleashing Agenda: Barriers to the Power’ during the climax of the 14-day Global Fasting and Prayer event declared by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye.
Apostle Obuobi highlighted that the Kingdom of God is one of power, and walking in this power is crucial for the success of the ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda.
He referenced Acts 8:6-7, noting that the early Church attracted attention through both their words and the demonstration of God’s power.
He cited Acts 17:6-7, illustrating how early Christians turned the world upside down by manifesting this power.‘The promise of this power, as stated in Acts 2:39, is for everyone,’ he hinted.
He stressed that being close to God is essential for demonstrating His power.
Quoting Mark 3:13-15, he pointed out that the ability to preach and cast out demons is conditioned upon being with the Lord.
He urged believers to walk with Jesus daily, as exemplified in Acts 4:13, where the apostles’ boldness was attributed to their close relationship with Christ.
Apostle Obuobi emphasised that sacrifices are necessary to experience God’s power.
He referenced Hebrews 11:26-27, highlighting Moses’ willingness to forsake earthly titles and positions, and Daniel 1:8, where Daniel chose to avoid defilement.
He stated, ‘Until we get to the point when we are ready to make sacrifices unto the Lord, we are not ready to see His power at work in us.
’The General Secretary encouraged believers to cultivate a constant and close fellowship with God and to make the necessary sacrifices to unleash His power in their lives.
He assured that anyone who stands with the Lord will find the Lord standing with them.
Present at the service were Apostle Peter Kofi Dzemekey (Asokwa Area Head), Pastor Emmanuel Yirebi (Resident Minister, PIWC Asokwa), and Pastor Professor William Oto Ellis (retd), among others.
