Darkuman Pentecost ends Convention

THE newly constituted Darkuman District of the Church of Pentecost (COP) last Sunday ended a four-day Christmas Convention at the P & T park at Darkuman.
The church used the occasion to honour some officers within the various assemblies as well as the Darkuman District office of the COP who have helped in diverse ways and at various stages in the development of the church.
Preaching the sermon, the District Pastor, Reverend Matthew Larbi-Wettey, urged Christians to allow themselves to be filled with the spirit of the Lord to effect changes in society.
He called on each Christian to be what he termed “a campaign manager” for Christ and win souls for the kingdom of God.
Speaking on the theme “The Causes and Effects of the Good News of Great Joy”, Rev. Larbi-Wettey said Christians should accept the message of the birth of Jesus with all their hearts and spread it to rest of the world.
He said when one was filled with the Holy Spirit just like the shepherds who received the news of Jesus were, one should be able to do wonders for the benefit of society.
He said with the spirit, the sick person turned into a healer; the accursed became blessed and an the low in society began to do wonders.
As the world prepares to enter a new year, Rev. Larbi-Wettey asked for peace for the nation and advised Ghanaians to allow themselves to be filled with the good news of Jesus.
Using the examples of Saul, the king of Israel and the other Saul who later became Paul, the Apostle of Christ, the District Pastor said when a person was touched with the holy spirit he become a changed person in all things.
