Chairman Begins Western Regional Tour

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, on Monday, April 8, 2019, arrived at Takoradi to begin his maiden working visit to the Western and Western-North Regions respectively.

As part of the visit, the Chairman will meet all ministers of the Church as well as their wives in the two regions at Tarkwa on Tuesday.

He will also hold separate meetings with all officers of the Church in the two regions at Sefwi Wiawso, Tarkwa and Takoradi.

The visit will afford the Chairman the opportunity to explain the spirit of the 5-year strategic vision of the Church dubbed Vision 2023 of Possessing the Nations to the officers, and how they can own it to ensure its successful implementation at all levels.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye is expected to climax his tour of the two regions on Sunday, April 14, 2019, after officiating an induction service of Pastor Lieutenant Godswill Mawuli Gatorwu, Chaplain of the Takoradi Air Force Base of the Ghana Armed Forces.

Psalm 37:23 -The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

The day God wants to give you a miracle and change your story, He will order your steps to the right place to meet the right people because nothing takes God unawares. May God order your steps to the right place in the name of Jesus Christ!

No matter how long the devil has held you down; tormenting and harassing your life and your loved ones, I command him to lose his grip off you now in the name of Jesus! I decree your freedom from sickness and every disease! I decree your freedom from every family unrest! That stagnation, failure, frustration, joblessness, indebtedness, etc; they all come to an end now in the name of Jesus! That barrenness, lack and want comes to an end now! If you believe it, receive it in the name of Jesus!

God has programmed you to read this blog today because He wants to change your story. For the sake of the woman with the issue of blood, Jesus passed through Samaria. For the sake of the mad man of Gadara, Jesus came down from the ship in Mark 5:2

Mark 5:2 -And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Because nothing takes God unawares, that is why I know that today marks the end of that situation in your life! Jesus is the only one who will show up when men give up on you. That is why I know that where men cannot help you, my God will help you today! Where men have given up on you, my God will change your story! My God will make a way for you in the name of Jesus!

Psalm 121:1-2 -I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Your situation might be beyond human help; that is the situation my God specializes in and He will step in to help you in the name of Jesus! As one sent from God, I decree your freedom from every terminal disease in the name of Jesus! You will not die but live; and no trace of that disease will be found in you anymore in the name of Jesus!

The helper of the helpless will intervene in that situation right now miraculously concerning that your situation! You are the reason I am writing this today; your case will be turned around!

Mal.3:6a -For I am the Lord, I change not…

Today, I announce to you, my God will intervene concerning you today in the name of Jesus the Christ –Amen!

God bless you

The Kind Of Women A Christian Man Should Not Marry Pt 1

The Kind Of Women A Christian Man Should Not Marry Pt 1
  1. THE UNBELIEVER:

The Bible is absolutely clear on this point: Christians should not marry unbelievers. Second Corinthians 6:14 says, “Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (NASB). Apart from your decision to follow Christ, marriage is the single most important decision you will ever make. Don’t blow it by ignoring the obvious. You need a wife who loves Jesus MORE than she loves you. Put spiritual maturity at the top of your list of qualities you want in a wife.

 

  1. THE MATERIAL GIRL:

One young friend of mine was engaged to a girl from a rich family. He saved up money for months to buy a ring, but when he proposed she told him he needed to go back to the jewelry store to buy a bigger diamond. She pushed her fiance to go into debt for a ring that fit her expectations. She wanted a Tiffany’s lifestyle on his Wal-Mart budget. I warned my friend that he was stepping into serious trouble. Unless you want to live in debt for the rest of your life, do not marry a girl who has dollar signs in her eyes and eight credit cards in her Gucci purse.

 

  1. THE DIVA:

Some macho guys like to throw their weight around and pretend they are superior to women. Divas are the female version of this nightmare. They think the world revolves around them, and they don’t think twice about hurting somebody else to prove their point. Their words are harsh and their finger-snapping demands are unreasonable. Some of these women might end up in leadership positions at church, but don’t be fooled by their super-spiritual talk. Real leaders are humble. If you don’t see Christlike humility in the woman you are dating, back away from her and keep looking.

 

  1. THE DELILAH:

Remember Samson? He was anointed by God with superhuman strength, but he lost his power when a seductive woman figured out his secret and gave her man the world’s most famous haircut. Like Delilah, a woman who hasn’t yielded her sexuality to God will blind you with her charms, break your heart and snip your anointing off. If the “Christian” woman you met at church dresses provocatively, flirts with other guys, posts sexually inappropriate comments on Facebook or tells you she’s OK with sex before marriage, get out of that relationship before she traps you.

The Myth That If We Preach The Truth Crowds Will Thin Out

The Myth That If We Preach The Truth Crowds Will Thin Out

I heard an Evangelical pastor say these truthful words, “satan can only get you into bondage by first of all making you believe a lie”

When we accept erroneous thoughts spoken in all sincerity and boldly presented as the truth and we embrace them, they become the biggest hindrance to our advancement. Satan knows this and that’s why he tempted Jesus by quoting a scripture twisting it’s meaning trying to push Jesus out of position.

I hear a lot of people say and get away with the idea that if you preach and teach the truth people will leave your Church. They give the impression that large congregations are centers of compromise hence people flock into them.

This thought is not only erroneous but unscriptural. I write this because if this idea is allowed to remain unchallenged it will develop into a stronghold and set a limit on the growth of the Church in the next generation.

Let us look at the scriptures and examine whether it is so. There is no where in the New Testament Church where the preaching of the truth diminished the numerical strength of the Church, infact the case is it caused numerical increase.

It is when men stop teaching truth that itching ears are developed.

Acts 16:5 “And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.”

Here we see two things going on at the same time, an establishment in the faith and numerical growth as stated in the Bible and recorded. It speaks about increase in numbers.

Acts 6:7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”

Here we have 3 things happening.

1. The word of God increased.

2. The number of disciples multiplied. Note he described the number multiplying, numerical strength and characterized them as disciples not attendees.

3. A great company obedient to the faith.

There is no indication of compromise and it recorded numerical strength at the same time with obedience.

Acts 9:31 “Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.”

Here we see men edified, walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Ghost and resultant effect is they were multiplied.

Very important that you do not allow a bias settle in your heart that the more people there are the weaker the congregation is. Many are trying to explain away things by creating an alternate doctrine not supported in scripture.

If you are born to shine, you will shine.

1. There is no pit so deep that is beyond the everlasting arms of God.
Deuteronomy 23:37

Why Aren’t You A Minister?

Why Aren’t You A Minister?

Beloved, do you question your “calling”? Have you taken your position as a full-time minister, where you are actively involved in ministry?

Did you know ministry doesn’t just take place behind the pulpit? Do you know the ministry God has called you to do, or are you confused about what He wants you to do? You don’t need to search or struggle to find your calling any longer!

God is raising up a great army of men and women around the world to march forward, in a mighty demonstration of His power, as final end-time witnesses.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24:14

I must warn you that if you have just been sitting on the sidelines warming a church pew, and have not been actively involved in ministry, you are going to be shaken. You are going to be challenged as never before to break out of the ruts of the harvest … to shake yourself of your complacency, to get off the church pew, and take your position as a full-time minister!

WE WILL NEVER MEET ALL OF THE OVERWHELMING NEEDS IN OUR WORLD TODAY FROM BEHIND THE PULPIT!

Receive a fresh revelation of the ministry God has given you. Accept your calling. Accept your commission, and take your position as a full-time minister. Move out in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit to do the work of the ministry.

  • You are going to know your calling.
  • You are going to know what ministry is.
  • You are going to know what it means to be a full-time minister.
  • You are going to know the ministry God has given you to do.

One-half of the world’s population has never heard the name, Jesus! Why? Because we have not been operating according to the structure God established. It is known as the 10/40 window, and we must reach it!

The 10/40 window is a rectangular-shaped area, extending from West Africa to East Asia, from ten degrees north to forty degrees north of the equator. Often called “The Resistant Belt,” this specific region encompasses the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists-billions of spiritually impoverished souls.

The time is short. We don’t have time to play games. We don’t have time to make excuses. JESUS IS COMING! We must have a spiritual breakthrough within the Church that will take us beyond our limited concept of ministry … beyond our man-made structure … and give us a new, fresh revelation of the ministry God has given and requires of us.

Jesus defined who a minister is in Matthew 20:26: … but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

Let’s observe the word minister in these verses. Jesus used the words servant and minister interchangeably. The word “minister” translated from the original Greek refers to one who is a servant, who serves and waits upon others.

Jesus is our example of what it means to be a minister. He said that He came not to be ministered unto, but to minister … to serve … to pour out His own life … to give Himself unselfishly in meeting the needs of suffering humanity. His ministry was out where the great needs were … among the people.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:15

Beloved, a minister is not ordinary people, it’s ALL OF US who give our lives in ministering and meeting the needs of others. As a full-time minister, your responsibility is to proclaim the message of salvation, healing, and deliverance in the Name of Jesus, and to manifest it through your life.

Say this faith declaration out loud: Father, thank You for commissioning me to be a minister. Reveal to me, today, the calling You have on my life so that I may spread Your word throughout the world. Help me to get out among the people where the great needs are, and know what You have called and anointed me to do. Amen.

Billy Graham Archives To Be Moved To The Billy Graham Library In Charlotte

Billy Graham Archives To Be Moved To The Billy Graham Library In Charlotte

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has announced that the papers of the late Billy Graham and the historic records of the BGEA will be transferred from the Billy Graham Center on the campus of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. The move will consolidate the Billy Graham Library’s holdings of paper historical records, audio and video recordings, and digital materials.

“This is part of our continuing consolidation in Billy Graham’s hometown,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the BGEA. “Some 214,000 people visited the Billy Graham Library here in Charlotte last year alone, and it makes sense for my father’s archives to be housed and maintained here for visiting scholars to conduct research, and for our guests to see when they come visit our ministry headquarters, the Library and my parents’ gravesites.”

Wheaton’s Billy Graham Center was born out of a desire to strengthen evangelism by establishing a world hub of inspiration, research and training for Gospel ministry, as well as to preserve the legacy of Billy Graham’s ministry and the historical records of the BGEA. In 1974, the BGEA and other supporters donated funds to create a center on the campus of Wheaton College. The Billy Graham Center building was dedicated in 1980, and contains archives, a museum and programs devoted to the study and advancement of worldwide evangelism. When the Center was built at Wheaton, the BGEA was headquartered in a downtown Minneapolis office building, the Billy Graham Library had not yet been envisioned, and it would have been difficult to foresee the longevity and scope of ministries bearing Billy Graham’s name that are ongoing through BGEA today.

When the BGEA announced the relocation of its headquarters from Minneapolis to Charlotte in 2001, it began consolidating all of its operations on a 63-acre campus, where a 200,000-square-foot office building and the 40,000-square-foot Billy Graham Library have since been constructed. The transfer of the archives from Wheaton continues this consolidation of the BGEA’s archival information and memorabilia with its evangelistic operations and programs.

“We are grateful for the role Wheaton College played in my father’s life and for their ongoing commitment to the cause of evangelism—as well as for their partnership as these archives transition into a new era,” Franklin Graham said. “We also thank Bob Shuster and Paul Ericksen for their professional care of the archives over several decades at Wheaton.”

The Billy Graham and BGEA archives will remain available at Wheaton for research until June 1, when they will be prepared for transfer to Charlotte. An announcement about the re-opening of these archives at the Billy Graham Library will be made once details are finalized.

Among the Billy Graham-related records that will be moving to Charlotte are:

  • Oral histories of the organization
  • Crusade procedure books
  • Billy Graham news conferences
  • Conferences for itinerant evangelists in 1983, 1986 and 2000
  • Sermon transcripts and notes
  • Personal correspondence and papers
  • Radio and TV recordings
  • Press clippings

Expect Miracles

Expect Miracles

It may be hard for you to understand how it could be possible for you to live in such a powerful realm of the Spirit where NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE to you. It’s God’s promise to you, and it is based upon His Word.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Psalm 34:8, NKJV

You can live in a realm of the Spirit where you are able to simply speak the Word, and move mountains and obstacles out of your way. This includes the mountains of sickness, disease, and bondage! You can have the faith that Jesus talked about. It is faith that moves mountains.

Miracles produce faith.

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Mark 11:22-23, NKJV

Open your heart and let these miracle living seeds go deep inside your spirit:

  • God always has been and always will be a God of miracles.
  • Man is a miracle creation of God. You were created for miracles, and miracles were created for you.
  • God’s purpose for your life is that you live, breathe, and move in the supernatural.
  • Miracles should be a NORMAL experience in your life.

The LORD preserves all who love Him.

Psalm 145:20, NKJV

You are going to enter a new way of living that will enable you to walk in victory over every attack of the enemy. God would not have given you so many promises requiring faith if He did not intend for you to experience miracles on a regular basis.

A miracle is something that cannot happen by human means … It is a supernatural manifestation of God that comes into our daily lives to deal with events and circumstances that cannot be met by normal means.

God’s purpose for miracles is to fulfill His will, confirm His Word, and provide for the needs of His people. All of these truths are preparing you to enter and live in a rhythm of miracle living, where God’s miracle power is flowing through you in a continual stream.

… The goodness of God endures continually.

Psalm 52:1, NKJV

I am asking God for a miracle in your life … that the seeds I have planted concerning His miracle power will begin to take root. I am asking that He will lift the veil of darkness from your eyes through revelation and allow you to see the exciting, powerful, victorious way of living where miracles are a normal experience.

 

Say this faith declaration out loud:

Almighty God, during these days of struggles, temptations, disappointments, and stress, I come to You with the joy of Your promise to preserve me as I love You. I declare miracles in my circumstances now dear Lord. Amen, and amen.

Pastors’ Wives Please Respect The Members.

Pastors’ Wives Please Respect The Members.

If you as a pastor allow your wife to treat the women anyhow, you will close down that church. If she has no ability to regard those that are senior to her, then that woman does not deserve to be respected by those people.

The fact that you are called “Mummy of the Church” does not now make you unable to respect elderly women in the church. It’s a privilege. It’s not a right in anyway.

No Pastor’s wife should have any clique or group of women or one woman that can be identified as “Mummy’s Closest Friend”. There should be no such person. What is the danger of that?

It’s not that you don’t want to have someone to confide in or talk to, or follow you around, the risk of it is if one person is the only person that is identified as Mummy’s personal person, you have pushed away everybody else.

As a pastor’s wife, you should have the ability to relate with everybody across board. Old, young, middle, poor, rich, any class.

…A pastor’s wife must be very careful about talking. Don’t allow somebody to come to you for counseling and tomorrow they hear the counseling matter from the altar.

DON’T BE A FOCUS OR AN OBJECT OF GOSSIP. That is lack of integrity.

Anything that is told to you is told to you in confidence. These are issues that must be very carefully attended to.
