The Bogoso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel Frimpong-Manso, has called on Christians, particularly church leaders and workers, to serve God wholeheartedly in fulfilling the divine mandate to “Possess the Nations.”
He made the call during an orientation service held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, for newly transferred ministers and newly appointed Area officers at the Bogoso Area Office. Speaking on the theme, “Unleashed to Work Wholeheartedly to Possess the Nations,” with scripture references from 2 Chronicles 31:20–21 and 1 Corinthians 15:58, Apostle Frimpong-Manso encouraged believers to give their utmost dedication to the work of God.
Quoting from 2 Chronicles 31:20–21, he said: “This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.”
Apostle Frimpong-Manso noted that God has highly honoured Christians, especially those who serve in His vineyard, and reminded the congregation that service to God is not based on human merit but on grace. He therefore admonished believers not to take this grace for granted but to serve joyfully and faithfully in every role.
He described serving the Lord as both a calling and a blessing, urging participants to count it a privilege to be chosen as part of God’s workforce. Drawing lessons from the life of King Hezekiah, he explained that although Hezekiah was born into idolatry, he chose to walk faithfully with God, becoming a model for all believers who seek to please God in their generation.
The Apostle outlined key actions that earned King Hezekiah divine favour; removing the Asherah poles and cleansing Judah of idol worship, destroying the gods raised by his father and renouncing ungodly traditions, opening the doors of the temple to restore true worship, reinstating the duties of the priests and Levites to reestablish spiritual order, and upholding the supremacy of God in the social life of the people. These, he said, demonstrate wholehearted service that leads to divine prosperity and lasting impact.
Apostle Frimpong-Manso, however, reminded the gathering that wholehearted service does not exempt believers from trials, citing Hezekiah’s sickness as an example. “Hezekiah faced severe sickness that brought him near death,” he said. “But challenges in life and ministry do not always mean sin; sometimes, they are divine tests that prepare us for greater glory.”
He added that God often uses such experiences to reveal His power and strengthen believers’ faith, emphasizing that when one serves wholeheartedly, God responds with mercy and restoration.
Highlighting lessons from Hezekiah’s life, Apostle Frimpong-Manso mentioned that God extended his life by fifteen years, delivered Judah from the Assyrian king Sennacherib without the use of swords or chariots, and prospered all the works of his hands because he sought the Lord with a loyal heart.
He, therefore, urged ministers and workers to emulate Hezekiah’s example by being diligent in their service, remaining humble after victories, and staying focused on God’s purpose.
Concluding his message, Apostle Frimpong-Manso said: “The prosperity and testimonies we desire in our lives and ministries come only when we seek God and work wholeheartedly for Him. As we labour to possess the nations, may we do so faithfully, joyfully, and with excellence.”
