The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Kwabena Nyamekye, has charged the youth to go out and win souls for Christ, emphasizing that every believer is blessed and commissioned to be fruitful in every area of life.
Speaking at the Achimota Central Assembly during the opening session of the National Youth Week Celebration 2025, Apostle Nyamekye reminded the congregation that the Great Commission remains a divine call to action and not a passive instruction.
He drew inspiration from the life and mission of the Church’s founder, Rev. James McKeown, who arrived in the Gold Coast with only fifty pounds yet laid the foundation for one of the fastest-growing churches in the world today.
“Rev. McKeown came with fifty pounds, and the results we see now are tremendous. With the numbers we have today, we must be even more encouraged to go and tell others about Christ,” he said.
Referencing Genesis 24:60, the Chairman explained that Rebecca was blessed by her family to “increase and possess the gates of her enemies,” a promise that originated from God’s covenant with Abraham.
“The blessing was already available; Rebecca was simply nudged to walk in it and manifest what God had promised through Abraham,” Apostle Nyamekye noted.
He went on to expound the meaning of blessing, describing it as fertility of the mind, productivity of the hands, good health, the peace of God, and above all, His divine presence.
“Our forebears believed and sang about the blessing. To be blessed is to have God with you, to have peace, to be fruitful, and to make impact wherever you are,” he explained.
Apostle Nyamekye concluded by charging the youth to go and manifest the blessing through evangelism, stressing that the true sign of a blessed life is one that bears fruit for the Kingdom.
“The blessing is not meant to be kept but to be shared. Go and make use of what God has placed in you by winning souls,” he urged.
The event brought together thousands of young people across the Achimota Area, marking the start of a week-long celebration dedicated to rekindling the passion for evangelism, discipleship, and service to God.
