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

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.

This means embracing our unique strengths, weaknesses, and personalities. In the Bible, ...

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,...
False Altars and Spiritual Deception: A Call to Return to True Worship

False Altars and Spiritual Deception: A Call to Return to True Worship

Features
Although "altars, in their literal meaning, are associated with physical materials, it is more than just a physical place; it is a spiritual symbol. In the olden days, altars were used as sacrificial grounds, representing the relationship between man and God. In a classical scenario, in the Old Testament, altars were used for burnt offerings (Leviticus 1:9); for instance, Abraham built an altar to God in Genesis 12:7 after receiving God's promise. These altars were not just physical structures but divine ones that exhibited man's fellowship and commitment. But today, our fellowship and worship with God is offered through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, who has become the ultimate altar for us from that time. Hebrews 13:10 shows Jesus as our altar, replacing the old system of sa...
The Calling Received, As Department/Committee Workers Of Hum: The Inter-Departmental Teamwork (IDT) Culture In Perspective

The Calling Received, As Department/Committee Workers Of Hum: The Inter-Departmental Teamwork (IDT) Culture In Perspective

Features
The concept and slogan, "All things to all People", of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM), is inspired by Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. Paul, a Jew by birth and an apostle to the Gentiles by calling, subjected himself to the law of Christ, which transcends boundaries, cultures, social classes, and people groups. As a Jew and an apostle, Paul was entitled to many rights, privileges, usages, and laws. However, he chose not to stand on privileges but denied himself for their sakes, so that he might win their souls. Thus, he became all things to all people, so that by all lawful means, he might win some for Christ. This is the mandate of HUM. Through the leadership of the Chairman and the Executive Council of the Church, HUM was birthed in May 2019 at the 16th Extraordinary C...

Cybersecurity And The Church: The Role Of Leadership, Pastors, And Members

Features
As technology advances, it has become necessary for churches to invest in protecting their data and usage. Cybersecurity management, an emerging area in the technological space, remains largely unexplored by many churches, including The Church of Pentecost, one of the largest Pentecostal churches in Ghana, Africa, and the world. This discussion aims to inform and engage key stakeholders in the protection of church data about their roles in ensuring a safe place for all. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, “data security maintains the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an organization’s data in a way that it works with its risk strategies.” Cybersecurity, then, is defined as ...
Called To Be The Light Of The World

Called To Be The Light Of The World

In many nations such as the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia, terms like "ungodly nations" and "modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah" are often used to describe societies whose norms, laws, and educational curriculums do not align with the values and principles of the Kingdom of God. Recently, during a series of mass gatherings of young people around the world, deep questions have arisen about morality and the church's stance on issues such as the acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community, the concept of abstinence, and its relevance in today’s society. These are major concerns for the future of strong, healthy, and sustainable churches.
