Don’t Change The Great Commission To Great Omission – Children’s Director Tells Church Leaders

Don’t Change The Great Commission To Great Omission – Children’s Director Tells Church Leaders

Features
The Director of the Children's Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, has urged church leaders not to change the Great Commission to a Great Omission. Pastor Avornyo said this when addressing ministers, children workers, officers, and parents in the Abirem Agona Zone on Thursday, March 13, 2025, during his ‘Vision Casting Visit’ to the Elmina Area of the church. The Children's Director emphasized that any soul-winning effort that neglects children as a target for evangelism or as a medium through which God can win other souls becomes a Great Omission rather than the Great Commission. ‘For me, the letter 'C' in the Great Commission represents Children. Children have souls that need to be won. They must not be ignored while they are young. The gospel is about th...

Reclaiming Parental Responsibility: The Power Of The Win, Wean, And Unleash Agenda

Features
In today's world, many parents have shifted the responsibility of nurturing and training their children to school teachers and Children’s Ministry teachers. While these educators play a vital role in shaping young minds, parental involvement is crucial in helping children become who God has called them to be. Unfortunately, some parents blame school teachers and Children’s Ministry teachers for not disciplining or teaching their children effectively, rather than taking ownership of their role. A Disturbing Encounter I attended a funeral recently in a prominent town in the Volta Region of Ghana. During my visit, I met some children aged 8-13 and engaged in a game of football with them. As we prepared to leave, I asked if they attended church that Sunday. Shockingly, about 70% of the c...
Glaucoma, The Silent Thief Of Sight

Glaucoma, The Silent Thief Of Sight

Features
The eye is one of the most important organs of the human system. It gives light to the body. Almost all human activities depend on one’s ability to see. A person’s life patterns, goals and aspirations would be greatly interrupted if there were no eyes. Despite the great importance of the eye to life, it is a very delicate organ hence the need to pay critical attention to it. Just as other parts of the body are prone to diseases and disorders, the eye is not exempted. Due to its delicate nature, one’s inability to pay attention to it usually results in worst situations such as blindness. In this article, I will discuss and campaign about Glaucoma, nicknamed the silent thief of sight. The World Health Organization has designated March 9th to 15th   as World Glaucoma Week. The focus...

“All Things To All People” – Obuasi, Afram Plains, Koforidua Areas Shine In 2024 HUM Rankings

Features
IntroductionRankings and performance evaluations are essential in assessing the effectiveness of institutions across various fields, including academia, business, healthcare, sports, and religious organisations. They provide a structured way to measure growth, identify strengths, and highlight areas for improvement. In the context of Home and Urban Missions (HUM), a ministry of The Church of Pentecost dedicated to reaching marginalised and underserved groups, rankings are crucial for evaluating the effectiveness, sustainability, and overall impact of ministry efforts. HUM focuses on engaging with neglected populations, including migrants, expatriates, the poor, drug addicts, street children, and Unreached People Groups (UPGs). By assessing ministry performance through structured ranking...

Unleashing The Power Of Transformation: Understanding The Economy And The Ecology Of The Four Lepers

Features
Main Texts: Revelation 5:10, Ephesians 4:1, 2 Kings 7:3-11, Acts 1:8 “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:10 KJV) A people chosen by God and made Kings and Priests, predestined to reign and rule the world in the worthiness of their calling, spreading kingdom principles and values. The power given to the church by the Holy Spirit comes with responsibilities. This power must be released to dispel physical and spiritual forces that seek to derail the church's efforts. The power in the believer, if activated properly, can transform nations and restore godly living. Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and S...
While You Are Still Young

While You Are Still Young

Features
The book of 2 Chronicles 34 v 1 – 3 strikes a chord in me, a chord that bothers decision-making. Making the right decision while you are still young. A decision that serves as a pivotal point to your success in life. In 2 Chronicles 34 v 1 – 3, the Bible reads, Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty – one years. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or the left. In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David. In his twelfth year, he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of high places, Asherah poles, and idols – 2 Chronicles 34 v 1 – 3. In the above bible verse, the phrase “Whiles he was still young” comes...
Unleashing Your Potential As A Media Personality

Unleashing Your Potential As A Media Personality

Features
As media personalities, we have a unique calling to inspire, educate, and entertain our audiences. However, to fulfill this calling, we must first unleash our own potential. In this article, we will explore what it means to unleash ourselves as media personalities worthy of our calling, using biblical principles as our guide. Embracing Our Identity in Christ Before we can unleash our potential, we must first understand our identity in Christ. As Christians, we are called to be ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). This means that our work as media personalities should reflect His excellence and glory. Unleashing Our Authenticity To unleash our potential, we must be true to ourselves. This means embracing our unique strengths, weaknesses, and personalities. In the Bible, ...

Building An Effective Youth Ministry Today

In today's rapidly evolving society, youth ministries face significant challenges as they strive to support young people amidst many societal pressures. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), in 2022, approximately 8.7% of adolescents aged 12 to 17 had a substance use disorder. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2021, 34% of adolescents experienced bullying, with 11% facing electronic bullying, contributing to mental health struggles. Suicide remains the second leading cause of death among adolescents, with 1,540 deaths recorded in 2022.

Rev. James Mckeown: The Man Who Was Unleashed For Global Influence

Rev. James Mckeown: The Man Who Was Unleashed For Global Influence

Features
"The seed that was sown and watered with much tears of prayer has borne fruits. The big question now is: Will the fruit remain?" – Rev. James McKeown A prophetic declaration at a large Apostolic convention in England announced that a young couple was to go to West Africa as missionaries. Fifteen months passed before they finally accepted the call. What unfolded during that time? Was James grappling with his own sense of insignificance, paralysed by fear, or overwhelmed by doubt? The life of Rev. James McKeown is a remarkable testimony to the power of obedience in answering a divine call. Who would have thought that the seed sown in Asamankese in the then Gold Coast (now Ghana) would grow and spread to the four corners of the world? McKeown’s acceptance of the call led to the birth of...
Commission On A Mission Without Omission

Commission On A Mission Without Omission

Features
In fulfilling the Great Commission, there are various ways to share the gospel message today. Contextualisation plays a major role in this endeavour and cannot be downplayed. In some contexts, personal relationships and conversations with friends, family, and coworkers can effectively share the good news. Depending on your area, this can be a long-term project. Where applicable, we can also invite them to church or other Christian events. The Great Commission is an essential aspect of the Christian faith. The apostles demonstrated how to fulfill this command in the book of Acts by sharing the gospel message and making disciples of all nations. In the current dispensation and location we find ourselves, we can still contextualise the gospel and present it to every tribe, community,...
