Pastor Ernest Wisdom Worlanyo, the Resident Minister of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), New Tafo Area, has reiterated that Christianity is associated with goodness and abundance, not a life of lack. He therefore urged Christians not to link a low standard of living with their faith in Christ Jesus.
Speaking on the topic, “Walk in the Awareness of the New Life,” during the New Tafo Area All-Day Prayer Meeting on Friday, December 5, 2025, at the Area Revival Centre in Sepe-Buokrom, he referenced Romans 6:4, emphasising that the newness of life is attained through faith in Christ Jesus.
He highlighted the transforming power of an encounter with Jesus, citing the man at the pool of Bethsaida and the story of Bartimaeus. According to him, anyone who encounters Jesus experiences a new life because He brings change to situations, circumstances, and personal identity.
Pastor Worlanyo explained that the main crux of the Book of Romans is Apostle Paul’s desire for the whole world to understand that salvation is found solely in Jesus Christ. He added that baptism by immersion symbolises the believer’s burial and resurrection with Christ into a new life.
Expounding on the concept of the new life, Pastor Worlanyo, who serves as the area secretary, noted that it is characterized by good health, prosperity, joy, and happiness rather than sorrow. He added that the new life comes with hope, divine protection, and security, as stated in Psalm 91. He also assured believers that victory over enemies is guaranteed in the new life, citing Proverbs 21:31.
Pastor Worlanyo concluded by encouraging the congregation to live consciously in the new life they have received through Christ in order to fully enjoy its benefits.
As part of the event, Pastor George Prah Amonoo, the immediate-past Area Secretary, was honoured.
The prayer meeting recorded an impressive attendance of 826 participants.
Among the dignitaries present were Prophet Samuel and Mrs. Victoria Tetteh Doku (the Area Head), as well as members of the Area Pastorate and their spouses.
