Stop threatening violence – Peace Council urges political parties
The National Peace Council (NPC) is closely monitoring the political discourse ahead of the December 7 polls and will not hesitate to call out political parties and politicians who cross the red line by threatening violence, the National Chairman of the Council, Rev. Dr Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, has said.
He said though it was a normal practice for political actors to be optimistic about winning elections, it was unacceptable for them to resort to threats of violence to achieve electoral results.
“There is nothing wrong when politicians make statements that they are optimistic of winning an election because no one goes to an election and hopes to lose. If they make such comments, that is okay as long as they do not cross the red line by threatening to use the police, the military or other m...
Be A Servant Leader – Apostle Oboubi Admonishes Christian Leaders
The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Oboubi, has admonished Christian leaders to strive to be servant leaders.
Apostle Oboubi made this call on Sunday, August 11, 2024, when he was speaking at the farewell service of Pastor Gabriel Owusu at the Osu Central Assembly church auditorium.
Delivering a sermon titled “The Christian Leader,” he underscored the essence of a good leader in all aspects of life, noting that a blind leader will lead his or her followers into a ditch.
He indicated that Christian leaders must not be blind (spiritually) so that those they lead will not be led into destruction. According to Apostle Oboubi, leadership is not a call to lord over followers but to serve them.
He urged Christian leaders to be like Jesus, who always e...
Embracing the Fullness of Biblical Commands
The Bible is a profound guide, offering wisdom on various aspects of life, from spirituality and morality to work ethic and personal responsibility. Many Christians focus intently on certain biblical injunctions, particularly those against immorality such as idolatry, drunkenness and rest. While these are indeed vital aspects of Christian living, there is a growing need to equally emphasize other biblical commands that address work ethic, productivity, and economic responsibility. This article aims to shed light on these often-overlooked aspects of biblical teaching and to encourage churchgoers to embrace the fullness of God's Word in every area of life.
The Biblical Mandate for Productivity and Dominion From the very beginning, God’s Word has been clear about the responsibility of...

Do Not Advertise What You Cannot Deliver – Apostle Dr Ami-Narh Cautions
The President of The Apostolic Church, Ghana, Apostle Dr Aaron Ami-Narh, has cautioned church leaders to live what they claim to be and not otherwise.
Speaking at the Ashanti Regional All Ministers’ Conference held at the Bompata Central auditorium of The Church of Pentecost on Friday, Apostle Dr Ami-Narh challenged the Christian community to reflect on their true impact on society.
He asked why 71% of the population was Christians, and yet the country had remained the same.
“If 71% of Christians cannot change the nation, what will the 29% do?” He asked the church to look at its authenticity and effectiveness.
Drawing lessons from Mark 11:11-14, 20-21, Apostle Dr Ami-Narh reflected on the story where Jesus cursed the fig tree. True, it was not the right season for figs, but the...
