The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has called on Christians to see every job as a divine assignment. He made this call on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at the climax of the 2025 PENSA Ghana Conference. Speaking on the theme, ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Our Calling,’ he addressed the growing influence of secularism, which he described as a deceptive ideology that positions man as his own god. Apostle Nyamekye said that secularism creates a spiritual vacuum, arguing that nature inherently resists the absence of divinity. He reminded the youth that sin is fundamentally a departure from God. ‘The reason why those pushing this agenda are gaining ground is that the people of God are not acting. When we arise, they will fall,’ he asserted, calling fo...

The Director of the Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Mrs Philomina Mireku, has disclosed that excellence is a journey, not a destination.

The Minister-in-Charge of the e-Church of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Ebenezer Agyapong, has underscored the unparalleled value of the human soul and the need to prioritise spiritual well-being over worldly pursuits. In a sermon he delivered on Saturday, January 4, 2025, titled: ‘Unleashed to Save the Never-Dying Soul,’ at the University for Development Studies in Tamale during the PENSA Ghana Conference, Apostle Agyapong posed a thought-provoking question: ‘For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?’ He explained that while people often invest considerable effort in enhancing their physical appearance, the body is transient and perishable. In contrast, the soul is immortal and eternal, warranting greater attention and care. Referencing...
