Accra: Reverend A.K. Mensah, a former Synod Moderator of Central Western Presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), has reminded Christians of the invincibility of God's saving power amidst persecution, poverty, or pain. He emphasized that through faith in Christ and endurance, God's power remains unconquerable.
According to Ghana News Agency, Rev. Mensah delivered this message during a farewell service for Rev. Dr. Francis Senyo Kuvor, who was the SSNIT Flats District Pastor before his transfer to the Ho Mawuli Estates congregation. The service took place at the Kekeli congregation in Ho, which serves as the headquarters for the SSNIT Flats district, encompassing Adaklu Kodzobi, Adaklu Vodze, Adaklu Have, Adaklu Dzakpo, and SSNIT Flats, Ho.
The sermon, themed 'The Saving Power of God,' drew from biblical passages Jeremiah 29: 4-7, 2 Timothy 2: 8-15, and Luke 17: 11-19. Rev. Dr. Kuvor, who also holds the role of General Manager of EPCG schools, had begun his tenure as district Pastor in January but was reassigned after nine months.
Rev. Mensah explained that God's saving power signifies the divine capability and readiness to rescue, deliver, and restore His people from sin, suffering, and all forms of bondage. He encouraged believers to remain focused on God rather than their afflictions, assuring them that God's power can overcome all challenges and ultimately deliver them.
Highlighting examples from scripture, Rev. Mensah noted, "The God who parted the Red Sea and River Jordan for the Israelites, saved Daniel from the lion's den, and the three Hebrew boys from the burning furnace is the God we are also worshipping. God does this to show that He is compassionate and also to glorify Himself."
He further emphasized that God's saving power is not limited to believers' physical needs but also assures their eternal lives. He urged the congregation to consistently express gratitude to God whenever they experience His saving power.
Rev. Kuvor expressed gratitude for the warmth and hospitality shown to him and his family by the congregation, expressing hope that his successor would receive the same kindness. During the service, he was honored with a citation, parcels, an undisclosed sum of money, and a cheque by the church and individuals.
The event was chaired by Mr. Alfred Kumah of the ICT department of the University of Health and Allied Sciences and witnessed the presence of Mr. Kofi Attor, Board Chairman of Mawuli Senior High School, along with Rev. Kuvor's immediate and extended family members.
