Christians
have been advised to approach the promises of God with a sense of passion and
determination.
The
call was made by the Director of Public Relations and Protocol Officer of The
Methodist Church Ghana, the Very Rev Eric Paa Kwesi Amihere at a three-day Wesleyan
Revival Outreach programme organised by the Accra Diocese of the Church at
Tesano in Accra.
The
Revival Outreach which was the eleventh edition was hosted by the Kpeehe
Circuit at Tesano from September 07-09, 2022.
Drawing
linkages with the Biblical story of Blind Bartimaeus recorded in Mark 10:46-52,
Very Rev Amihere urged Christians to make a firm determination to approach God
with their problems, explaining, “If you'll call on Jesus, He'll respond
positively”.
He
admonished believers to “recognise Jesus as the Saviour” adding, “Take off any
garment that limits you from reaching Jesus”.
“Resist
any opposition that works against your coming to Jesus”, Very Rev Amihere cautioned,
stressing, “Refuse to let Jesus pass you by”.
Opening
the 3-day Revival Outreach on behalf of the Methodist Bishop of Accra Diocese,
the Superintendent Minister of the Kpeehe Circuit, the Very Rev Joseph Odei
Afrifa, explained that the event was aimed at spreading the Word of God to
people in the Tesano community as well as reviving members of the Church for
evangelism and discipleship.
The
Revival Outreach saw members of the Resurrection Society, Covenant Society and
Tesano Nursery Society in attendance. Also present were the incoming
Coordinator for Evangelism, Mission and Renewal of the Accra Diocese, the Very
Rev Richmond Abaka, the Superintendent Minister of the Kaneshie North Circuit,
the Very Rev Bennett Ato Wilson, the Accra Diocesan Youth Organiser, the Rev
Edward Niikwei Okine, as well as other Methodist Ministers in the Kpeehe
Circuit.
Prayers
were said for the community and the nation at large.
