We arrive at the Church premises late Friday evening for the All Night Prayer Service. The service has already begun and everybody was on the knee praying. Presiding Deacon James, welcome us later to the All night prayer service, likewise the members of the church who were happy to receive us.

The Service was than handle over to Rev Arcton and Pastor Obed to lead the service through to the end. It was a blessed time spent in prayer and in the presence of the Lord. Rev Arcton exhausted the people to cultivate the habit and spirit of prayer as it was in the beginning of the Church in Acts of Apostles when the growing young church always came together for prayer service.

Pastor Obed took over and led us into serious prayer time for the church and the community. We prayed for great move of God and salvation of souls into the Kingdom of God. He further explained the need to deal with and pray against satanic strongholds and activities in the community. The Light of God must dispel darkness. Those in darkness must see the light of God shining in the church and our life must attract sinners into Christ Jesus for salvation. The All Night Prayer Service came to a close at 4:00 am.

After resting awhile we found ourselves back to the church premises again on Saturday morning, this time with the Women Association of Baptist Convention. They came from all the district area for Retreat and prayer for the church and Leadership. It was a moment of reflection and seeking God for the Church.

He encourages the women to take the challenge to their respective Churches and raise an alter of continues prayerforce for Ghana and its Presidency. The Women’s Prayer Retreat ended with a blessing from Rev Arcton.

Pastor Obed took over the Pulpit and Preach the Message entitled “The Value of a Soul”. The text was taken from the Book of Mark 8:36.  He said among many other things, what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loss his soul. He stressed the importance of soul of people who have not receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.  He said the Souls of men and women are important for that sake God sent His only Begotten Son to die for and to save them from the power of darkness, sin and Satan. We as Church of God should also commit ourselves by sharing the Goodnews of Jesus to all men for their Salvation. They must know God just as you and I have Jesus Christ in our Life.
