Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah-Agyeman, the Teshie-Nungua Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has affirmed that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross has broken all curses on the lives of believers.
Speaking on the topic, “The transforming power of the cross unleashed,” with Scripture reference from 1 Corinthians 1:18 at the PIWCs Zone Convention held at the PIWC Sakumono on Good Friday, Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman stated: “All our curses, including generational curses have all been canceled.”
Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman explained that for God to create things, he only had to speak, but when it got to the redemption of human beings, God had to bleed, saying, “He had to take that difficult route to be nailed for blood to come out of him to redeem us.”
Throwing light on the salvation from Christ, the Area Head indicated that being saved, which in Greek language is termed “Sozo,” means being made whole, adding that God by this “Sozo” has cleansed believers from all unrighteousness, redeemed and healed all who accept Christ.
Quoting from Mathew 27:28 and Isaiah 53:5, Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman explained that the two thieves who were crucified alongside Jesus represented rebellion and righteousness. He noted that the man on the left side represents rebellion which is like witchcraft.
“Although we have been saved, we are still in rebellion, we are still stealing and gossiping and threatening divorce to our spouses among others,” he said.
He added that the solution to a rebellious attitude is redemption. Apostle Nkrumah-Agyeman called on all and sundry to “put everything at the feet of Jesus since he has worked on it already,” while stressing on the need to let go of all pain and disappointment because of the cross.
The four-day convention of the Teshie-Nungua Area was divided into six zones and held at various centres, including PIWC Sakumono, Greda Estate, GHACEM Park, Baatsona, Nungua Town Park and Camp 2 Park.
Other speakers included Apostle Rigwell Ato Addison (Rtd) – former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Philip Osei-Korsah (Director of the Counselling Ministry of the Church), Pastor Felix Okyere Anti (Resident Minister of PIWC Graceland), Pastor Solomon Kwasi Kyei (Resident Minister of PIWC Sakumono) and Deaconess Isabella Orhin.
