The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has given an overview of the 2025 theme of the church.
He did this as part of his Apostolic visitation to the Mountain View Worship Centre in the Kasoa Area on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
Apostle Obuobi delivered the sermon highlighting the church’s theme for the year: ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling.’ The theme is rooted in Ephesians 4:1, Galatians 1:24 and 1 Thessalonians 4:7
He explained that the theme aims to guide the church towards achieving its broader Vision 2028, which focuses on ‘Possessing the Nations.’
In his sermon, Apostle Obuobi stated the importance of living a life that reflects one’s divine calling, which is not limited to full-time ministry but encompasses all aspects of life as Christians transition from darkness into the light of God’s kingdom.
He stated: ‘Once we were in the kingdom of darkness but by the saving grace, we have been brought into the kingdom of light.’
He emphasised that every believer has a role to play in manifesting God’s glory.
He referenced Ephesians chapters 3 and 4 to illustrate Apostle Paul’s desire for God’s glory to remain with the church across generations.
He warned against complacency, noting that it is possible for a generation to lose this glory if they do not live according to their calling, citing Ezekiel 10:18 as a historical example of God’s glory departing from His people.
The sermon also delved into two perspectives of the Christian calling: a heavenly call and a call unto holiness. The heavenly call, according to him, is described as a privilege that transcends social status or academic achievement, while the call unto holiness emphasises living a life that reflects God’s righteousness.
Apostle Oboubi asserted that ‘holiness means living out the God kind of life,’ urging believers to embody love and faithfulness in their daily lives.
The General Secretary challenged believers to ensure that their lifestyles lead others to glorify God, similar to how Paul’s transformation inspired others.
He stated: ‘Until we get to the level where people will glorify God because of our lifestyles, we have not reached anywhere.’
He concluded his sermon by encouraging all Christians to view their professional lives as part of their ministry, saying that every occupation—whether in business, healthcare, education, or any other field—serves as an opportunity to reflect God’s grace and impact society positively.
He, therefore, urged believers not to separate their faith from their everyday activities but rather integrate it fully into their lives.
