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, ...

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

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

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

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

Features

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. This year, the church is being challenged to live out its calling and become the true light of the world in every sphere. The calling to be the light is ...

Do Not Waste The Wait And Fast

Features

Dear Youth, Having recently completed our 14-day global fast, we must remember that the true test of our spiritual resolve begins now. When we fast and seek God's face, we attract divine power and strength. As Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "Those who wait upon the Lord, He will renew their strength." However, it is crucial that we maintain this newfound strength by continuing to pray, obey, and live a holy life. We must not let our guard down or allow sin to creep in and undermine our spiritual progress. Let's draw inspiration from Jesus' example. After fasting for 40 days and nights, He faced temptation from the enemy. But because He had gained spiritual strength through fasting, He was able to overcome the temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). Jesus could have lost it all if He had failed the...

The “Calling” And The “Full-Time Ministry:” Perspective From A Minister’s Wife

Features

Background This article aims to shed light on the “Calling,” the “Full-time Ministry,” and the essential partnership between the minister and the minister’s wife, creating a synergy for a beautiful ministry. It also highlights the full-time ministry dimension of a minister’s wife engaged in activities within their ministry setting that are not strictly ministry-related, often referred to as “Secular Work.” Recently through the rollout of Vision 2028 of The Church of Pentecost, the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has underscored the need to avoid creating a dichotomy between the “sacred” and the “secular.” The secular should always be the setting for the sacred. In this way, the church – those in Christ – will truly serve as agents of transformation, influencing every sphere of socie...
