The District Pastor of Mt. Zion Worship Centre in the Kaneshie Area, Pastor Inspector David Nii Okai Aryee, has called on members of The Church of Pentecost, particularly the youth, to give top priority to the “Go and Tell” mandate of Christ.
Preaching from John 1:40–42, Matthew 28:19–20, and Luke 14:21–23 during a recent service, Pastor Aryee reminded the congregation that the last words of a man carry great weight, and since the final instruction of Jesus was to “Go and Tell,”believers must treat this command with utmost seriousness and urgency.
Referencing the well-known quote by the late Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, “Every man you meet is either a mission field or a missionary,”Pastor Aryee explained that every human encounter is a divine opportunity – either to reach someone for Christ or to partner with another believer already serving the Lord.
“A soul is a soul, and it is precious to God,” he stressed.
He further reminded the church that evangelism must be conducted without discrimination, regardless of tribe, race, social status, education, or economic standing. Lamenting the reality that many die without ever hearing the Gospel, he urged believers to renew their commitment to soul-winning.
“Many of us have friends, colleagues, and relatives who are unsaved, yet we show little concern,” he observed.
Drawing lessons from Andrew’s act of introducing his brother Peter to Jesus, Pastor Aryee emphasized that evangelism begins with those closest to us.
“If we have seen the light, we must show others the light,” he said.
He also cited the Samaritan woman’s testimony as an example of how one person, touched by the message of Christ, can lead an entire community to salvation. He therefore encouraged believers to approach evangelism with both intentionality and urgency.
Concluding his exhortation, Pastor Aryee cautioned against the habit of making excuses when it comes to evangelism, describing excuses as “one of the most unprofitable inventions of man.”He urged believers to conquer fear, crucify the flesh, and silence every voice that hinders obedience to God’s call.
“No matter how appealing our excuses may seem to man, they hold no weight before God,” he warned.
Recalling the courage of the early Church, he reminded the congregation that the fathers of the faith proclaimed the Gospel even at the risk of their lives.
“If they risked their lives for the Gospel, then we have no excuse at all,” he declared.
Pastor Aryee concluded with a sobering call to accountability, urging every believer to reflect on how they would answer God concerning their commitment to evangelism.
“Your job is to tell people about Jesus,” he affirmed. “The Holy Spirit will do the rest.”
