A retired minister of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Joseph Kwame Assabil (Retired), has delivered a compelling message titled, “Living in Anticipation of Jesus’ Second Coming – The Motivation for the Unleashing Agenda” at the 2025 November Heads’ Prayer Meeting held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh.
Drawing on passages such as Romans 8:23–25, Acts 1:9–11, Philippians 3:20–21, and 2 Peter 3:10–12, he stressed that the certainty of Christ’s return should inspire holy living, evangelism, and commitment to the Church’s Vision 2028. He explained that anticipation of Christ’s coming shapes a mindset that values eternal glory over temporary pleasures, urging believers to let this hope influence their character and mission (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Referencing Moses and the heroes of faith (Hebrews 11:13–16), Apostle Assabil noted that their endurance sprang from a focus on eternal rewards. Likewise, the apostles’ hope of resurrection sustained them through persecution (1 Corinthians 15:19). A church driven by this hope, he said, will remain active as “salt and light” in society.
He called on believers to advance the Unleashing Agenda, impacting every sphere through Spirit-empowered transformation, and to stay alert in fulfilling the Great Commission. Godly living—marked by forgiveness, contentment, modesty, sacrificial love, and social responsibility (Titus 2:11–13; 1 John 3)—flows from an eternity-focused heart. Christ’s commendation, he reminded, will be for deeds done to “the hungry, the poor, and the imprisoned.”
Apostle Assabil concluded by urging the Church to remain steadfast, motivated by the joy of Christ’s imminent return: “Servants live to please their Master. May our anticipation of His coming fuel our commitment to the Unleashing Agenda until He appears in glory.”
