Resist doctrines alien to Christian values – Rev. Wengam

The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has underscored the need for Christians to resist doctrines and practices that are alien to the core values of the faith.

He urged the Christian community to firmly defend sound principles that define the true Church of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Wengam made the call at the Biennial National Ministers’ Wives Conference of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi. The conference was on the theme: “The Faith of Our Fathers in Action” (John 14:12).

Addressing the gathering, he called on pastors’ wives to rise and demonstrate what he described as “audacious faith” while playing a leading role in defending the doctrines of the church.

He further urged Christians to pass on their authentic faith to the next generation through evangelism and what he termed aggressive church planting in unreached communities.

Rev. Wengam cited the example of the three Hebrew children in the Bible, who refused to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s false god despite the consequences. He said such uncommon faith should inspire present-day Christians not to compromise their beliefs, even in the most challenging circumstances.

The Minister of Gender, Women and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, who was the Special Guest of Honour, also advised participants to grow in their faith and preserve the structures within the church that support spiritual development.

For her part, the National President of the Ministers’ Wives Association, Lady Mrs Monica Wengam, challenged pastors’ wives to emulate the exemplary faith of Sarah and patiently wait for the promises of God.

She disclosed that the association had sponsored the construction of a legacy temple in the Afram Plains at a cost of nearly GH¢400,000.

Lady Mrs Wengam added that the association’s next project would be to plant a church and build another legacy temple.

Various speakers at the conference addressed topics including mental health, nutrition and body care, building strong families, and the social skills required for church growth. Other areas discussed were cultivating executive presence and emulating the unmatched faith of the forefathers.

About 3,000 pastors’ wives attended the conference.
