The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has called on the youth of the Church to rise to the task of soul-winning, stressing that the Great Commission remains a divine mandate for every believer.
Speaking at the Achimota Central Assembly during the opening session of the 2025 National Youth Week Celebration, the chairman reminded the congregation that the Christian call is not to be passive but to actively “go and tell” others about Christ.
Citing the inspiring example of the Church’s founder, Rev. James McKeown, Apostle Dr. Nyamekye highlighted the power of faith and obedience in fulfilling God’s mission. “Rev. McKeown came with fifty pounds, and the results we see now are tremendous. With the numbers we have today, we must be even more encouraged to go and tell others about Christ,” he said.
Drawing from Genesis 24:60, he explained that Rebecca was blessed by her family to “increase and possess the gates of her enemies,” a blessing rooted in God’s covenant with Abraham. “The blessing was already available; Rebecca was simply nudged to walk in it and manifest what God had promised through Abraham,” he noted.
Expounding on the meaning of blessing, Apostle Dr. Nyamekye described it as fertility of the mind, productivity of the hands, good health, peace, and, above all, the presence of God. “Our forebears believed and sang about the blessing. To be blessed is to have God with you, to have peace, to be fruitful, and to make an impact wherever you are,” he emphasised.
He concluded by charging the youth to manifest the blessing through evangelism, pointing out that the true evidence of a blessed life is one that bears fruit for the Kingdom. “The blessing is not meant to be kept but to be shared. Go and make use of what God has placed in you by winning souls,” he urged.
The event, which gathered thousands of young people across the Achimota Area, marked the beginning of a week-long celebration aimed at rekindling the passion for evangelism, discipleship, and service to God.
