The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has stated that Christians have been called to demonstrate God’s power.
He made the call on Sunday, September 15, 2024, when speaking at the Danquah Worship Centre in La Area to climax their District Week.
Speaking on the theme, ‘Unleashed With Power’ with scriptural reference to Luke 24:4; 4:20, Apostle Oboubi revealed that Christians have been called into the kingdom of God which is a kingdom of power, hence they carry power.
He emphasised that not only must Christians carry power, they must demonstrate it.
He indicated that the church’s Vision 2028, which is to possess the nations and transform it with the values and principles of God’s Kingdom, is similar to the Great Commission which Jesus gave to His disciples.
The General Secretary mentioned that two things are key in possessing nations – godliness and power.
He explained that godliness is important because Christians go out as ambassadors of God and are expected to demonstrate Christlike character.
Touching on power (from the Holy Spirit), he indicated that Jesus knowing the importance of this asked His disciples to wait until they receive the power of the Holy Spirit before they go out to undertake the Great Commission.
The chief scribe highlighted that the power to transform the world is not a reserve of any group of people but is present in anyone who has received the Holy Spirit, saying, ‘So long as the Holy Spirit abides in you, you carry the power of God.’
He revealed two effects of power as power to be and become what God wants one to become and power to perform supernatural acts.
He called on all to yearn for power because ‘the possessing the nations agenda will be successful when the children of God are unleashed with power.’
