The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has revealed that Jesus is the Seed of God who was buried, sprouted, and grown to enable believers to bear fruit.
According to Apostle Nyamekye, the death of Jesus marks the second time that God reached out to reclaim the surviving remnant of His people, following the gathering of Israel.
‘Jesus is God’s seed,’ he reiterated. ‘Jesus lives in us; He is the seed of God, and the most important part of the story was to bury Him. Through His death, He lives in us; that is Christ in you and me,’ he said.
Apostle Nyamekye was speaking on the topic, ‘We Would Like to See Jesus,’ referencing John 12:20-21, during the Easter Convention in the Suame Area on Thursday evening, April 17, 2025.
Expounding on Isaiah 11:10-12, which speaks of God’s promise to gather a remnant of His people a second time, Apostle Nyamekye explained the events that led to the fulfillment of this prophecy from the Old to the New Testaments.
Quoting John 11:49, he indicated how the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus sparked anger and concern among the Jewish religious leaders. He asserted that the miracle caused many people to start believing in Jesus, which put pressure on the religious leaders as many were deserting them.
‘What Caiaphas instilled in the minds of the people was to kill Jesus to save their city from destruction. This was a prophecy made by the high priest, not just for the city but to gather all the children of God together. From there, they devised a plan to kill Jesus,’ he added.
Apostle Nyamekye outlined how these occurrences fitted perfectly into God’s timeline, leading to Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. He noted that Jesus could be accessed by the rest of the world, disclosing that some Greeks had appealed to Philip, expressing their desire to see Jesus as an approach to gathering other nations.
‘They made the request because they could not see Jesus, as they were not set apart,’ he explained. ‘Jesus, upon hearing their request, revealed that unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.’
‘Jesus needed to be buried as a seed to be accessed by all. This act is the second time God gathered the rest of the remnant,’ he continued.
Apostle Nyamekye stressed that no one born of God will continue in sin because the seed of God remains in them.
He further urged believers to recognise that the death of Jesus has brought newness and transformation into their lives, hence the need to live for Him and forsake their former ways.
‘What is our response to God who gave us His only begotten Son? What shall we render unto God for what He has done for us?’ he asked. ‘We must proclaim His death by lifting the cup of salvation.’
