The Chairman elect of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye has stated that Churches in Ghana cannot insulate themselves from blame over the rot in the country.
The revered Apostle explained that the Church is supposed to be the Pillar of truth and a framework upon which all arms of Government must look up to as a shining example to operate but bemoaned that the opposite is happening as the Church has rather become part of the problem.
“When Ghana is rotting, it is rotting because of the Church. If the nation is rotting let us blame the Church .The Corrupt People are in the Church. If you are corrupt and you are here, you are not part of the Church.
“Sometimes we expect too much from Politicians when what all institutions are supposed to look up to is the Church. What can a Politician do, because that which is born of the flesh is flesh. There is nothing an unbeliever President can do in the midst of money.
“He doesn’t have the power to overcome these things, he doesn’t have the truth. They don’t have any idea of what is righteousness. They make laws but they can’t obey it because they don’t have the Power to subject sin,” Apostle Nyamekye said.
Ministering on the topic “The Church, God’s New Society” Apostle Nyamekye mentioned that, the Church which is an extension of God’s family and army on earth must demonstrate wisdom in all sectors of the economy and for Politicians to acknowledge that there is light that darkness cannot overshadow in the country.
Apostle Eric Nyamekye entreated members of the Church of Pentecost to be agents of change and shining examples wherever they find themselves to help build a better country for all.
He made the comments on Sunday August 12, 2018 at a farewell Service for District Pastor of Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC) – Koforidua, Pastor Nii Tackie Otoo and Wife, Mercy Tackie Otoo who have been transferred to Teshie in the Greater Accra Region after 5 years of Service at the District.
Present at the Service were Pastor Paul Laryea, Okorase District Pastor and Representatives of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC).

@kkd. Don't make categorical statements out of ignorance. The statement, "...THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST IS MORE CRIMINAL THAN THE DEVIL HIMSELF..." was whispered to you by an evil spirit and for your lack of understanding of spiritual things, you spewed it out. All Pentecost members must attend their university free bcos they contributed to the building of the university. Is that so?? Who will pay for the maintenance of the university's infrastructure?? I have for years contributed month to the sustenance of KNUST, Univ of Ghana and others through the paying of taxes, yet I had to pay for my chdn's university education. Don't speak before you think, bro.
Does the University building pay for the lecturers salaries?, why do u come here an talk in this manner. The University is being managed seperately from the Churh. Dont talk out of ignorance. MayGod have mercy on you
will taxing tithes stop pastors from straying?? try reasoning for a change.
don't pretend mr.chairman...the church of Pentecost is more criminal than the devil himself...after a member contributes to the building of university,you still collect tuition fees from these same members why? all the chaples in which you worship are built by poor member's contribution but you are draining the every single Sunday with tithes and offering..don,t pretend.
will taxing tithes/ offering not be double taxation?
that is very true, go to all the public companies, all the people sitting there are Christians but they are triple corrupt
TRUE TALK, AND I THINK ITS HIGH TIME THE GOVERNMENT TAX TITHES/FIRST FRUIT AS WELL
So what are you and your church doing about it? Christianity is not about talk, like politics, but action.
Pastor thank you for acknowledging this truth. Today pastors reserve front seats for those who can pay more offering and give plenty during harvests without questioning the sources of income of these so called rich Christians. Pastors today buy very expensive cars and live in mansions when they don't run any meaningful businesses of their own to support their affluent life style.........the money comes from those who can pay for special AKWANKYIR3 and who also cut all corners to make filthy money with wanton disregard to the detriment of our nation. Very sadly Christianity is declining in our land because the Church has thrown away the teachings of Christ Jesus for riches. At least we have hope in some of the pastors who stand for the truth like this Apostle. Change must begin from the church to rid our nation of the CROOKS IN CASSOCK.
Greed,jealousy hatred selfishness and self centeredness is the trademark of Ghanaians
