AKROPONG, Eastern Region – 

The Chairperson of Akuapem Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Ebenezer Acheampong Asiedu, has commended members of the Men’s Fellowship for their vibrant Christian activities across the Presbytery’s 25 districts.

Speaking at the 40th Anniversary and Thanksgiving Service of the Presbytery Men’s Fellowship at Akropong Christ Church, Rev. Asiedu praised the men for their visibility and dedication in their congregations, districts, and throughout the 25 districts he oversees which include Abiriw, Aburi, Adaiso, Adukrom, Adweso, Adawso, Asuboi, Akropong, Amanokrom, Djankrom, Effiduase, Koforidua, Larteh, Mampong, Mile 50, Mamfe, Nsawam, Nsukwao, Suhum Central, Suhum New Town, Suhum Ofori Krom, Nankese, Tutu, Coaltar, and Adoagyiri.

Rev Asiedu noted that the men are making  impact as Presbyters, Church Counsellors, Catechists, Bible Study teachers, Junior Youth and Children’s Class teachers. 

Rev. Asiedu encouraged them not to relent in their good works, describing it as God’s work to which all believers are called. He urged them to continue supporting their Ministers and Catechists, assuring them that “the Lord Himself will surely reward them.”

Delivering the sermon on the theme, _“Celebrating Our Heritage; Building on the Foundation Already Laid: Men, Use Spiritual Discipline as Building Blocks”_, the Presbytery Chairperson reminded the congregation of God's goodness and faithfulness from the foundation of the Oldest and Continuous Existing church in Ghana ( Presbyterian Church of Ghana) which would soon mark their 200th anniversary. .

Rev. Asiedu said the anniversary would be celebrated on the Foundation, ( Jesus Christ) which is already laid and that any other foundation cannot stand as they are all sinking sand.

Rev. Asiedu explained that the Apostles built on Christ, the Basel Missionaries from Scotland built on the same foundation at Akropong, and their forefathers did likewise. He added that anyone whose work will endure must build on that same solid foundation.

The presbytery chairperson mentioned Spiritual discipline and dedication as the key factors upon which, the missionaries were inspired to build on the Solid Rock.

According to him, spiritually disciplined person acknowledges God first upon waking, before attending to visitors or phones. Such a person, he said, will dedicate time to Bible study and prayer, show love and care to others, and commit all ways to God in the evening before going to bed.
