The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has called on church leaders to arise and take charge of their church in order to achieve set goals and growth.
He made the call on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, during the Day One of the orientation for newly appointed leaders at the Pentecost Pension House, Gbawe, Accra.
Speaking on the topic, Building God’s Church; The Role Of The Church Leader,’ Apostle Nyamekye revealed that the church as an institution is both an organism and an organisation.
He highlighted that as an organism, the church’s life must be maintained, and as an organisation it needs leadership.
He indicated that the life of the church which must be maintained is represented in growth, reproduction and adaptation.
He cautioned that the church should not be seen as a company because companies live only based on social purposes, but the church is for the holistic growth of its members and society.
Apostle Nyamekye mentioned that two things that release the energies of members are when God arises in His power and when leaders arise and take charge.
He urged leaders to focus on prayer and creating environments for members to encounter God, asserting that true leadership combines diligence, vision, and character, rather than authority or glamour.
Apostle Eric Nyamekye maintained that while pastoral titles are important, effective leadership requires continuous learning and dedication to spiritual growth.
