The National Women’s Week Climax at The Church of Pentecost – Achimota English Assembly on Sunday, 10th May 2026, was filled with a strong atmosphere of worship, prayer, and spiritual renewal as the Achimota District Minister’s wife, Mrs Joyce Siaw, delivered an inspiring message under the theme: “Women Unleashed in the Power of the Holy Spirit to Preach the Gospel to Transform their World.”
Speaking from Acts 1:8, Luke 8:1, and John 4:30, Mrs Siaw passionately reminded the church that women are not afterthoughts in God’s plan, but an intentional and valuable part of His divine purpose for humanity.
Drawing from Genesis 1:27, she explained that God created both man and woman in His image, giving women purpose, grace, creativity, wisdom, and spiritual significance. According to her, whenever God desired to bring change, deliverance, or revival, women were always included in His agenda. Women therefore must never see themselves as limited or insignificant in the Kingdom of God.
Using several biblical examples, Mrs Siaw highlighted how God used women mightily throughout history. She spoke about Deborah, who led Israel with wisdom and courage, and Esther, whose boldness brought salvation to her people.
She also mentioned Mary Magdalene, emphasising that despite her past, she encountered the saving grace of Christ and became one of the first witnesses of His resurrection. Her story served as a reminder that God still has a purpose for every life regardless of past struggles. The impactful roles of Priscilla and Lydia were also highlighted as examples of women who advanced Kingdom work through service, influence, and generosity.
Mrs Siaw further emphasized that Jesus never marginalized women during His earthly ministry. Women followed Him, supported His mission, and were active participants in the spread of the Gospel.
She noted that on the Day of Pentecost, both men and women were present when the Holy Spirit was poured out, fulfilling God’s promise to pour His Spirit upon all flesh.
Explaining the theme, Mrs Joyce Siaw described being “unleashed” as being released from restraints into full spiritual expression and divine purpose. She stressed that without the Holy Spirit, believers cannot effectively fulfill God’s assignment. The Holy Spirit empowers believers with courage, wisdom, spiritual gifts, and the strength to do the impossible.
Mrs Siaw also noted that while knowledge is important, it is the transforming power of the Gospel that truly changes lives and societies. She challenged women to demonstrate God’s love, make themselves available for Kingdom service, and mentor the next generation in godliness and faith.
She concluded by encouraging the congregation to develop a deeper personal relationship with God through prayer, studying the Word, and living under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
The service had in attendance the District Minister Pastor Gabriel Siaw, the District Women Executives, The local women ministry executives and other officers of the church.
