An Executive Council member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah, has entreated Christians to treat all people with respect, seek the welfare of others and society, and avoid exploiting individuals or systems, as such behaviour reveals true character.
Speaking on the theme: “My Job, My Kingdom Assignment: Authenticating Conversion into Credible Testimony in the Public Sphere” at the 2025 November Heads’ Meeting, he emphasised that every Christian’s work should be viewed as a divine assignment aimed at making a transformative impact.
“Your job is not merely a means of earning a living; it is a mission field. We are called to demonstrate our faith through Kingdom principles and values at the workplace,” he stated.
He stressed that work is stewardship requiring accountability and responsibility, and that traits such as honesty, humility, sacrifice, respect for time, and diligence are marks of genuine Christian conversion.
Apostle Dr Quampah, who is the Teshie-Nungua Area Head of the church, cautioned against laziness and using employers’ time for private business, describing both as sinful. He called on Christians to appreciate work as God’s mandate to humanity and to see the workplace as a social space where tolerance and Christlike behaviour are essential.
He cautioned parents against using work as punishment, noting that such practices wrongly portray work as a curse rather than a divine expression. When work is pursued solely for profit, he said, it breeds greed and destructive tendencies.
Highlighting the dignity of labour, he advised: “Do not look down on anyone’s work. Collective effort creates wealth and development.”
He urged Christians to exhibit responsibility at work through punctuality, meeting deadlines, fairness, and integrity, lamenting Ghana’s poor attitude towards time, stressing that “punctuality is the soul of business. Wasting someone’s time is wasting their life,” he remarked.
Concluding, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah affirmed that faithfulness underpins stewardship and that every job is a call to ministry.
“Our work should not only transform others but also transform us. Be a better minister today than you were five years ago—and even better in the next five,” he said.
