Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians to pursue absolute holiness and reject any doctrine that suggests otherwise. He emphasized that holiness is a non-negotiable trait for every believer, and it should be understood as an attainable goal.
He made these remarks during his presentation on the rationale behind the 2025 theme at the opening session of the Ministers and Wives Conference for the Volta and Oti Regions, currently ongoing at PIWC Ho.
Quoting Ezekiel 43:12, Apostle Obuobi affirmed that Christians are called to lead holy lives, explaining, “The law of the Lord’s temple, which is your body, is absolute holiness.”
He stressed that believers must not focus excessively on the weaknesses inherited from the Adamic nature but instead, focus on the life they have received through faith in Christ— a life capable of living in purity.
Apostle Obuobi further emphasized that there must be a visible distinction between a believer’s former life and the new life in Christ. This transformation should be evident to the world.
Referring to Apostle Paul, he noted that people glorified God because they saw the clear transformation in his life.
Quoting 1 Thessalonians 4:7, one of the main texts of the 2025 theme, he explained that the same man who had once persecuted Christians was now publicly advocating for the faith. This dramatic change led people to praise God.
“We must reach a point where others can clearly see the change in our lives. Until this is achieved, we have not yet reached the mark,” he said.
He added, “The change in Apostle Paul’s life was undeniable, which is why people glorified God. Similarly, our lives should reflect such transformation, and others should give glory to God.”
Apostle Obuobi encouraged all members to strive for righteousness and holiness, stressing that this is one of the key ways to ensure the glory of God remains within the Church for generations to come.
