A National Executive Council (NEC) Member of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) and General Overseer of Revival Outreach Church, Rev. Prof. Abednego Amartey, has called on the Church to intentionally raise faithful disciples whose values and conduct positively influence the workplace and society at large.
He made the call on Thursday, February 5, 2026, while addressing a plenary session of the 2026 Heads of Churches and Organisations Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa-Fetteh.
Speaking on the topic “Raising Faithful Christians to Impact the Workplace,” Rev. Prof. Amartey emphasised that authentic Christianity must extend beyond church gatherings into professional and public spaces through integrity, faithfulness, and responsible stewardship.
He explained that one of the Church’s challenges is the tendency to separate faith from daily work life, stressing that believers are called to reflect Christ wherever they are positioned. According to him, Christianity must be visible in how believers conduct themselves at work and contribute to improving their environments.
Using John 8:30–32 as his main text, Rev. Prof. Amartey highlighted the distinction between believers and disciples. He noted that while belief begins in the heart and is known fully only by God, discipleship is revealed through obedience and the practical application of God’s Word. He added that discipleship is a visible process demonstrated by consistent Christian living.
He further explained that intellectual knowledge of Scripture alone does not produce disciples, stressing that obedience and daily application of biblical principles are essential. Drawing from James 2:17–18, he noted that genuine faith is expressed through works and practical action.
Rev. Prof. Amartey underscored that discipleship remains a core mandate of the Church and must be accompanied by faithfulness, consistency, and accountability. Referencing 1 Corinthians 4:2 and Luke 16:10–13, he highlighted the importance of stewardship, noting that faithfulness in small responsibilities prepares believers for greater assignments.
Addressing workplace conduct, he urged church leaders to train members to demonstrate Christian values such as diligence, financial discipline, patience, and excellence in their professions. He also encouraged believers to actively seek the welfare and productivity of their organisations.
He called on the Church to remain intentional about raising faithful disciples whose lives bear visible fruit, noting that societal transformation is the outcome of effective discipleship.
