Step Out And Display Christ To All – Apostle Nyamekye Urges Believers

Step Out And Display Christ To All – Apostle Nyamekye Urges Believers

Pent TV, Pentecost News
The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has called on Christians to deeply appreciate the miraculous gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and to respond by dedicating their lives to His service, without expecting immediate rewards. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Peaceful Co-existence Conference, held from Wednesday, July 9 to Friday, July 11, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Nyamekye underscored the importance of wholehearted commitment to the work of God. He stated the need for the introduction of more ministries in the Church, noting that as the Church continues to grow, its ministries must also broaden to effectively reach more people. ‘We must become all things to all people so that by all possible means, ...

Business News, Ghana News, Pentecost News
ACCRA, GHANA – July 7, 2025 – Ghana has successfully secured a $30 million grant from the People's Republic of China, earmarked for the construction of a modern market in Aflao. This development comes on the express instructions of President John Mahama, fulfilling a key promise made during his 2024 electioneering campaign. The grant agreement was officially signed today at Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, signed on behalf of the Government of Ghana, while His Excellency Tong Defa, the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, signed for the Chinese Government.

Apostle Nyamekye Challenges Believers to Seek Eternal Purpose

Apostle Nyamekye Challenges Believers to Seek Eternal Purpose

Pent TV, Pentecost News
The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has underscored the need for spiritual transformation in today's world, urging believers to embrace a life centred on Christ by moving beyond material pursuits to attain eternal significance. ‘A new life is not about money, jobs, houses, or cars,’ Apostle Nyamekye stated. ‘It is the life of God in man—eternal life that begins when we believe in Jesus Christ.’ He said this on Sunday, May 25, 2025, during a sermon he presented titled: ‘The World Needs a New Life,’ at the Merry Villas District in the La Area of the church. Referencing John 14:6, he highlighted that true life is found in Christ alone. He further explained that without Christ, individuals are prone to immoral behaviours, as outlined in Galatians 5:19. H...
Power To The People: Rethinking Local Governance In Ghana

Power To The People: Rethinking Local Governance In Ghana

Features
Democracy, at its core, is power vested in the people—a government by the people and for the people. But in Ghana, does governance truly reflect this principle? My recent visit to Germany for a conference exposed a stark difference in how local governance functions. In Oberhausen, a relatively small and “remote” city, systems worked seamlessly. Roads were in good condition, sanitation was well-managed, and community development was not dependent on politicians’ benevolence. Governance was not just a distant concept but an everyday practice. Back home in Ghana, however, local governance appears weak, with citizens having little or no real influence over the spaces they inhabit. A critical problem lies in the widespread ignorance surrounding the roles of Members of Parliament (MPs) and Me...
Ghana’s Vehicle Paradox: Roadworthy Cars Parked, Unroadworthy Ones Dominating The Roads

Ghana’s Vehicle Paradox: Roadworthy Cars Parked, Unroadworthy Ones Dominating The Roads

Features
Welcome to Ghana, a country where the best cars aren’t on the roads, but parked in showrooms and dealerships—often waiting years to be sold. Meanwhile, thousands of citizens jostle for space in rickety, smoke-belching commercial vehicles that should have been retired long ago. The contrast is striking. Why is it that brand-new and relatively new vehicles remain idle in dealerships while the majority of Ghanaians rely on aging, unroadworthy cars for daily transport? During a recent visit to Oberhausen, Germany, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of old, decrepit vehicles on the roads. In my week-long stay, I did not spot a single car in poor condition. Every vehicle appeared well-maintained, efficient, and safe. This left me wondering: how does Ghana enforce roadworthiness tests, and...
The Poster Plague: How Ghana’s Public Spaces Are Being Defaced

The Poster Plague: How Ghana’s Public Spaces Are Being Defaced

Features
Walk through the streets of Accra, Kumasi, or any major town in Ghana, and you will see a familiar sight—posters and banners plastered on every available surface. Politicians, churches, businesses, and event organisers all compete for visibility, leaving a chaotic mix of advertisements on walls, street poles, and even trees. The problem is not just the sheer volume of these posters but the way they are scattered haphazardly, turning our cities into visual clutter.What’s worse? Once the events are over, nobody takes responsibility for cleaning up. Worn-out posters peel off and litter the streets, while faded banners swing loosely long after their relevance has expired. The result is a cityscape that looks disorganised and neglected. Something is not right.In many developed countries, pu...
When The Rains Fall, Lives Shouldn’t Be Washed Away

When The Rains Fall, Lives Shouldn’t Be Washed Away

Features
On the morning of Monday, May 19, 2025, Ghanaians woke up to the haunting news: at least three lives had been lost following the torrential rains that battered Accra the day before. Among the dead was a four-year-old girl from Nanakrom — a child with dreams yet to be shaped, a life full of promise, now turned into a statistic. Municipal Chief Executive for the Adentan Municipal Assembly, Ella Esiman Nongo, confirmed the fatalities to the media. "In Lakeside, we lost two people, including a four-year-old girl at Nanakrom, and a gentleman around New Legon," she lamented. This, unfortunately, is not new. We have seen it before. And we will see it again — unless something fundamentally changes. Ghana seems to be growing disturbingly comfortable with tragedy, perfecting the art of countin...

The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, has commended The Church of Pentecost for what he described as a “timely and strategic contribution” to Ghana’s national safety infrastructure through the construction of the newly commissioned Pentecost Fire Station at Gomoa Yesukrom.

Mun...

The COP Provides 239 Water Facilities To Rural Communities

General News, Health & Wellbeing, Pentecost News
Over the past five years, The Church of Pentecost (COP) has constructed 239 water facilities in rural communities across Ghana—bringing clean drinking water to more than 110,000 individuals who previously had to travel long distances to access this basic necessity. This milestone was announced by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA 2024), delivered at the 47th General Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
